Therefore sin is not a liRht matter. Christ relieved us of the heaviest hunleii by atoning for mir sins, otherwise we could not he saved. No one eis, was , i enough to pay the price for sin. It was our souls stained with sin from birth that caused His death. "Confesshuiism in China.

"Wo must do our share, which Xonsists in the deciding of whether w ar to be saved or not. The salvaiion of Jesus Christ can forgive ' u.s of all sin. no matter how great a I transgression it may be. Isaiah said, ! 'Though your sins be as red as scar- ! l.-t, I will make them as white as i snow.' j "No matter what ytnir sin may be. i if you confess your sins to Him and ' truly repent, your soul wili be like tlie driven snow.

"Life has its pleasures, but we will .lis over that we cannot serve two masters, man and Cod. so we must set aside the things of man and devote ourselves to (Jod alone. We cannot be saved if we neglect Christianity. Jod tells us in his tbrst and seconl commandments.

"T!ie neglect or misuse of Christianity, just like that of the mind or an organ of the body, tend to destroy it as we are revolting against a spiritual law. which applies just like the law of nature, as the natural law is derived from the divine r moral law. The longer we hold lack from Christianity the only mear.s of salvation, the more difficult it will to receive Jesus Christ. Cod forgives us if we have tri:' contrition for our sins.

Hecrying the lack of discipline in the home and in the church, and blaming them largely for the failure wield a greater Joseph C. Ludfratt, special evangelist at the (Irace m c ( hurrh. attacked the evils to which society today is prey. The evangelist also criticized the ministers for their attitude in preaching sermons. He said that too many sermons were made from the pulpit which embodied only the idea that Cod was love. "The Ihble teaches us also about a Cod of justice, a Cod that made laws, a Cod Oat punishes when His commandj.ients are violated. It is time for t le pendulum to swing hack. It is time for sermons t be forthcoming on repentance, restitution, regeneration and right living. "Then there would be fewer divorces, le- homes disrupted, and the numbers of parents bent and sad from seeing their children lead the life of the unre-Viierate reduced to a minimum." he continued. "Hut is it the church that is responsible for so many children going astray-: Where 1 es the trouble? Who is responsible for the fac t that our penitentiaries are tilled with law j breakers, our couits f justice are j busy week in and week out. because someone had violated the statutes impose by man?

Personal Life of Christian is Composed of Two Parts, Character and Activity.
Dr. John P. Hale spoke to a eongrcgation fhat filled the church last evening at the Trinity Presbyterian, in the final services of that church luring the present simultaneous revival. He chose as his subject. "The Fellowship of Christian life." taken from the text, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us layaside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, ami let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Ixn.king unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, wfio for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2. Ir. Hale in his address on the fellowship of Christianity, dwelt on the necessity of men getting right with (lod. He showed the wisdom of so doinff ami the absolute necessity if we are to secure the full benefit of real brotherly friendship. Then he explained just what Christion fellowship included. He told his listeners of the advantages of our association in faith, one with another, of our presence in the common walk with Jesus Christ, and lastly, our sincere cooperation with Jesus in His plan and program for the redemption of the world. Dr. Hale utilized the rest of his time very ably in summarizing the subjects and themes which he used as his texts during this revival. According to Dr. Hale the personal life of a Christian is composed of two parts, character and activity. "Activity in a Christian life Is dependent upon character. The fundamental thing in life is what the Pdhle calls the heart, the inner character attitude. Put the only way the heart secures expression is in the deeds and thoughts which it manifests. A religious sentiment which does not get expressed perpetually is only a veneer, and something which is wholly unreal." "There is no loyality that does not act loyally; no true religion that gives lss than. 100 cents for a dollar or that lives in frivolity and idleness. Our deeds express our very character. The small word 'nevertheless' though insignificant is the hy-wonl between hopelessness and a new resolution. Peter said, when commanded. ' have toiled all night and caught nothing, nevertheless at Thy. word I will do as Thou hast said.' He was disappointed and hopeless of catching anymore fish, while after the command of Jesus Christ, a new resolution entered him to complete the command." The religious campaign under the direc tion of Dr. Hale has been very successful at the Trinity Presbyterian church am has resulted in a total of ?K conversions, with the promises of many more to join the church. Public recognition of the splendid work accomplished by Dr. Hale was made in a brief address by the local pastor. Hev. John P. urns. ITTER OF II Rev. A. V.

Kov. p.tbb affirmed that the case of the would-be Christian was identical to that of Naaman. and that one of the strongest and foremost hindrances to a nvan'.s conversion is the man himself. "Cod commends His work of salvation as s. on a-s man consents to Mihtnissiver.es- and enters the yielding state." he said. The horrors of leprosv were likened by the speaker to the ravages of sin.

Tlov. Boll, at First LO RA G TO HEAVEN ALONE Declaring that he would rather go to heaven by himself than to go down to hades with company, the Hev. Iampin of the First Church of the Brethren last night made a strong appeal to non-Christians to join the church. His text was, "Why tarrieth thou?" During the singing of the hymns, "Nearer My Cod to Thee" and "Just As I Am" one convert came forward, bringing the total conversions up to 15 to date. "If you cannot come to Cod with your friends, come without them." urged the Rev. Iampin. "The wife that feels the true spirit of God calling her and yet holds hack because her hushsuid won't become a Christian is allowing herself to drift away from her convictions and to ruin needlessly. If ihe husband doesn't follow Iiis wife into the church he is a hopeless case. It is better to bring your friends t heaven than to let them take you to hell. "Some hold back with the excuse that they haven't a strong enough conviction. Don't wait for conviction. I would even say that it is dangerous to have an overwhelming conviction. All that is necessary is to know that you are a sinner, and every sensibfe being knows that. Others plead that they are waiting for fitness. You will never get better than you now are. It Is like a sick man putting off his medicine until he is better fit to take It. Come just as you are. "Still another excuse is that they have not repented enough. It is not necessary to weep to show repentance. Hepentance is a change of mind and purpose. When a man makes up his mind to lead a better life he has repented enough. Also the excuse is given that they are waiting for enough religion to carry they through. "As an engine generates steam faster when it is running than when standing still, so does man's religion increase. To the yet further plea that they haven't a strong enough

MEN TAKE RELIGION OUT IN WIFE'S NAME .)ostolio Delegat' Says Not Buyloss JIo Has Provided for rut uro. Members of the Woodmen of the World and the ladies' auxiliaries a;tended the services at the First Baptist church last night at which Hev. C. A. Decker preached on "The Man Who is Worse Than an Infidel." The text was taken from Timothy 5:8. "In this chapter Paul is giving instruction to Timothy, the young preacher. He said, 'You must not rebuke an old man; be careful and gentle to the old ladies, and to look after the dependent widows and the needy Paul puts it cm this basis, that the religion of Christ has to do with everything in life and it gives the best in the world and salvation for the future. "The inspiration of all things that f make for human betterment has had its beginning in Christian lands. " 'Men do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth.' So leaving your family well provided for is not all. There are some other things you will leave behind, and these things are not written out in an insurance policy, or a will, but are found in the character of man. You must leave a nanu, whether it be e0od or bad. Spiritual values are worth thinking of in what you leave your family. "I doh't think a man has done his whole duty toward himself if he hasn't made soma provision for his future life; a man may d his duty toward those depending upon him and forget himself. "The trouble with so many men today is that they take out their religion in their wife's name the same as they take out their life insurance." 7T 1 '
