Assisting Pastor At First Brethren

" "' V ! ...... Pev. William I,anpin of ,ilo. 111., is conducting the services at the Pirst' Church of the Urethren. He will be in charge of the revival meetings through the campaign. One Aim Was to Make Earth Better Place to Live On Says Minister. "Chrfstianity is keeping company with Christ." said the Pev. John P. Hale of I-afayepe, who has been assisting with the revival work, at the Hope Presbyterian church last evening, "and if we live the life He would have us, we can easily see that this Is true; for Christ came into this world to clean it up and to make aj better world out of this one. He nut not come merely to have us prepare for a future world; hut He came to save this one. Kach man has a duty to build up the world for the glory of Cod -in addition to his duty to attain heaven." Pefore the services live new members joined the church and after the sermon - three more young people were added to the long list of converts which have been reported from the Hope church. The sermon delivered by the pev. John P. Hale was responsible largely for the three conversions for he made an earnest appeal to tho people, to join with Cod and to receive the benefits of religion in this world as well as in the world to come. "For after all." lie said, "there is nothing in the teaching of Christianity which does not ultimaUly bring worldly happiness and as a matter of fact there could 1 not be; for the obeving of Cod's lawis merely living up to our nature; and thus could never produce unhap-pines.-. Many Obstacle. "However." he continued in part, "thi. dos uot mean that there are no obstacles to be met with in the following of the teachings of Christ; for. ther is ro program which demands more of a man than tht program of Christ,. Christ said we were to lovo Hini even more than father or mother, and that we had to hold Him hist in all deeds. It i? a religion for men. It is not for the nonvertebrates, it is not for those who lack the. sand and the courage of their oonvictions. "Wo should clean city politics, tight saloons, view, all kinds of war. disease and so on because we are Christians." c aid in emphasizing the fact that Christ came into this world to better the world itself as well a.s to better the spiritual conditions of. the people in the world. "The same laws have to be enforced on earth . thai are enforced in heu''i!i; so while we should Keep the life to come before us in a vague way. we should live up to the laws which we see directly in front of us and the rest will naturally follow." The Pe. John P. Hale, who spoke, is working for the unioi. of all Presbyterian churches throughout the state in order that all of the churches may be connected- in a physical way as well a.- in a spiritual way anil before the sermon he gave the benetits and the plans of the campaign he is leading in this state. Mr. Hale has been speaking at the Trinity Presbyterian church throughout the revival but he went to the Hope church for last evening s services. The Pev. Julius Orton. who has been at the Hope church, was sent to Trinity for la.st evening's services; but tonight, both will speak in the churche in which they started. BOARD MEETS TUESDAY Plans for New School Building Will Ik DisciisMl. South Pend's new school, which will be dl the present site of the Sample .t. portable school, probably will come up for a discussion at the regular meeting of the school board at tho high school Tuesday night, but it is not likely that anv thing definite will be done. A. L. Hubbard, president of the board, is out cT th uty.

CHRIS! CAME TO SAKE OUR WORLD

F C 1I0H FAULT We Should Make the Most of Our Opportunities Says G. F. Byrer. "There is a wonderful difference.! between believing in C.od and serv ing God," said the pastor. (I Pyrer of the Pnited Urethren i church, last night. 'Have vou real-i I ... , 1 ly consecrated yourseir to nun ami resolved to use all the time He gives you to advantage?" The text of the sermon was taken from Paul, 3:6. "Pedeeming the time." Pev. Pyrer said in part: "We should make the most of our opportunities. If everyone here tonight had only used all tic; lime that (Jod has given him. to the c est of his ability, how much hettcr we would be. "What did Paul mean by 'redeeming time?' We know what it means to redeem a note, or to redeem property, but how many of us have ever tried to follow the advice of the apostle and redeem the time we havo frittered away? What do the words of Paul mean? dimply that we are to use the days God gives us in exactly the manner in which he intended us to use them. We cannot really redeem time, but we may make up for it by putting forth double effort in the future. Many Misuse? Time. "It is downright wicked the way some people misuse their time. I once knew a man whom 1 met every morning for months and inquired: 'What are you doing now ?' and everj time he replied that he could find nothing to do. I knew another man who was not out of the penitentiary a half a day before securing a job. is'ome are busy all tho time, others can never do anything but loaf around corners complaining and expectorating. If this latter class could only add the necessary hydrogen to the gras they use they could illuminate the whole city. "Entirely too much of our social life is used in an evil way lost before God and man. Some people will have to live to a ripe old nge if they hope to retrieve the time they have thrown away gossiping and spreading scandal." "Pet us ask ourselves tonight, 'Have we improved all of our Christian opportunities?' Has there been any church service which you lest that you need not to have lost? I know you are all busy people and improve your time, but have you the full measure which Christ wishes you to have? Will you not renew your covenant with God tonight and promise to use to advantage the time which He has given you?" After the sermon 10 members of the congregation arose and promised to redeem the time they have lost and to work to the best of their ability for the church during the next two weeks. STORY OF BLIND Rev. C. A. Lippincott Says the Same Sort of Faith is Needed Today. "It is not the extent of a man's belief, but its intensity that counts." said Pev. C. A. Lippincott, pastor of the First fresbterian church last evening. Taking as his text the ith chapter J of ,t. John. 1st verse. Pev. Lippin eott eiteii the story of the blind man as an example of concentrated belief. "The man who had been blind since birth." said Pev Lippincott, 1

God ton'hi looks down on your soul as he did on the man at the pool and asks the same question, 'will thou be made whole?' If your life is lame, out of joint, out of l atniony wit' the will and word of God. you must answer this question, and gain new power. new ' life and newstrength as this sickly man gaimd health. There is nothing btvveen man and his salvation hut his own stubborn will. We offer too many excuses, and ha', en't learned obedience. When sick we obey the doctor's ordeis to the letter, but in spiritual matters we balk at obedience although God is the supreme physician." DEVIL EXPOSES 1 10 f God is Not to be Defeated in His Purpose Says Rev. C. A. Decker. One conversion and four testimonials were made and four people asked" that prayers be said for them at the services at thy First Baptist church last nirht. P A. Anderson, deacon of tho first ward, was In cnarge of the I'O-minute preliminary fcrvice, during which Paul Anderson j sang two solos. Mrs. J. A. Pode al.io sang a solo. Pev. C. A. Pecker talked on "Your Hin Will Find You Out," taking as his text, "If ye will not do so, ye have sinned against the I,ord and behold your sins will find you out." "If the time h;us not yet come when your tin has found you out, there is going to be a time," said Pev. Decker. That is one of sin's characteristics. That is the way tho devil works. He pictfres a sin as at beautiful thing and leads you to commit it. He then exposes you to 1 the whole world and he doesn't care' when or where Uo does it. Is Not a Machine. "When the devil exposes you, pin doesn't look as attractive as it did when it was first being considered. Sin is its own detective. It finds itself out. It leads us from one thing to another. First we commit a sin and then we commit another to hide the first one. It goes on and on until there is nothing but r-'.n in our hearts, '.n is the most deceitful thing in the world, for it is of the devil and he is the root of all evil. "As far as we know the universe is built on moral lines. God his constructed a universe which some time will be ruled by morality. If that is true, sin must eventually be exposed in this universe, the same as it is in a community. Tho universo is going to throw ot f sin just like the human body does when a poison ,cts .nto it. Some day the universe lis going to get rid of it by eliminaj tion. j "When God has His way. sin is i going to be gotten rid of vr the peo ple who sit, are going to be gotten rid of.

Sixteen Reported at Grace M. E . St. Paul's Brotherhood Grows. revival j M - it 1 M 'H Igtl W CI e opened ldSt night. That tellinu shots were fired is ap parent from reports from several of churches on the number of converts. ceptanco of Jesu. Christ as their Saviour. At St. Paul's M. K. tho brotherhood of the church was in creased bv 47 new members. At the First paptist one conversion was repotted while four asked for the prayers of the congregation and four gave testimony of their faith' in God. Interest in the services at the Indiana Avenue Christian church last nicht took a decided impetus with the coming of the Pev. o. A. Tonics of Fort Wayne. Pev. Torney is pastor of the First Christian church there and was scheduled to be in South Pend at the Indiana Avenue Christian church at the opening of the services, but illness In his family prevented his coming. To Talk 011 Divorce. Ir. Joseph C. Ludgate, evangelist at Grace M. K.. announced that on Wednesday at the afternoon meeting lie will talk on "IMvorce." Pev. F. K. Dougherty asked all that were contemplating divorce actions, who had been divorced, or were not even interested personally, to attend the afternoon meeting. Pecause of the large number of divorce granted annually in the local courts it is expected that the topic will be of more than normal interest. In order to bring about interest in the revival at the First Paptist church, L'O-minute preliminary services in charge of the various departments of the church and individuals, have been arranged. Every night last week the services preliminary to Pev. C. A. Decker's sermons were led by section of the church.
