The service was shorter than usual on account of so many of the young people desiring to attend the basketball game. The singing was of a high order and a splendid duet by Prof. Altheide and Dr. Myer was much appreciated. Sunday promises to be a red letter day at this revival, and special preparation's are under way to make the three services among the best the church has ever had. At the morning service there will be a fine array of music consisting of solos and quartettes. At the evening sendee there will bo a number oif special pieces of music, duets, quartettes and a selection by the chords. Last night's sermon was on the theme: The Unknown God.” The speaker said in part: Were I asked to name the greatest ch a meters of all history, sacred or vsecuhw, there is one name I would pitt well up among the illustrious of earth. It would be the name of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. A man’s life ar>d greatness must, always be measured by the influence he has exerted on life. Measured by his influence Paul stands next to Jesus of Nazareth, for he has through his efforts slmped the destiny of the w o CM. Paul c*ame into proud and cultured Athens at a time When they were running wild over their Gods. The historian sayis that at this time the Athenians had three thousand Gods or dietics calling for their worship, and fearful lest they had forgotten one, they erected an altar to the “Unknown God.” Paul, gazing upon this seized the opportunity and declared unto them Jesus, as their unknown God, who was worthy of their worship’ and adoration. Standing upon the summit of Mar's Hill he proa died the sermon of his life. Observe with me if you will the man: istandnig alone. singlehanded among tihe philosopher*, ho fearlessly proclaimed the truths of the. gospel. Oh, that the church had such men behind the pulpit today. We are so anxious to L ickle and please the ear of those sitting in the pew, and so afraid that we might swy something that will give offence. This old world is going to be won to Jesus and the Kingdom when men boldly and fearlessly proclaim the truths of our God. It may ( be men that God wants but 1 am persuaded that wh'at is needed in this great work is "'Man.” Paul was a man of conviction. We are so vascilating today. So many men are afraid to commit themselves on issues of the day. Many a mam halts when he comes to the temperance issue or some great political issue of the day. Right should determine one’s stand, and when -satisfied that he is standing on the right lie Should fight for it with all the vehement! of his soul. Paul had a wonderful audience: stoics, epicureans and philosophers of all deesription; and as he preached to them, some mocked, others laughed and others said: “We will hear you agwin.” The man who laughs tat the Bible, Christ, and the church of Christ, is the devil's fool. God always has tile bust day. God-pity the one who laugh's at the right today, for his condition is indeed precarious. Paul never vistfed Athens again, and many who were in his audience on that occasion died in their pride and hoatbeeism. God calls you and He your choice. Will you hear him? Come.
