JAILER MISSED

HELL By AH p i'JU Belief in Jesus Christ Only True Way to Salvation Says Minister.

'i;ii M-tin; his prisoners Ml free, drew out his Fwonl and was ahout to ornmit suicide by running the sword . throiiKi his heart. Thus only one j incli beinjr between him and hell, ; for if he had committed suicide he would hve heen lost eternally. The theme of the sermon was the finswer I'aul made to the jailer when in penitence he fell upon his knee.s find cried. "Sirs, what must I do to 1 saved?" The answer was, "Relieve on the Kord Jesus Christ." Not 1-eIjpve with an historical belief, the .ime as one beliees in Washington. Napoleon, Ijriroln, or any either historical character, for that will not frave the soul. "Hut relieve on Him." he said. 1 a your personal Saviour, who died for your sins, and rose a pa in for j our justitiell ion. and will come HSain with His arm-ls for your plorilication at the end of the present dispensation. "HHief on Jesus implies the following, for without these there can 1 no ex perimental knowledge of Jesus repentance, restitution, fnith, consecration, confessinn, obedience to Hin will, and earnest study of His word. "Then the soul knows Jesus experimentally, communes with Him In prayer, testifies for Him in the factory, school, store, street, home and .n all occasions, works for Him in Vinning others to Himself; thus the jailer showed his sincere conversion v. hen he brought water and washed the stripes on the backs of Paul and Silas, stripes which he had made with the lash. Now he tries to undo hi former cruel work and makes his prisoners comfortable and is baptized; not only he, but all his f; mily. "Relieve on the Ionl Jesus Christ .'lid thou shalt be sried." In the afternoon the evan-elist will lelier the 12th talk on "The Sei .-ion on the Mount." The theme of the evening serviee, when mthry' and daughters' nitrht will be obnrvfd, is "The Inquisitive Man."

Excuses Are Originated by Sinners Minister Asserts

'The S;nner" ,n all his characteristics ami his nuuinerisms in his various roles and pails in his excuses and hi alibi. and finally the sinner v ithin himself was viv's"ted hy William IyTimpin at the First Chun h of Urethren last evening. Itev. Iampin in his denuneiftion of the sinner Rnd his cowardice In bf inr afraid to move out of his lowly slat also made his tirade take the form of an invitation for sinners to accept the faith. That alibis, pretexts and excuses I originate with sinners was the opinion of the speaker. "The sinner will i not com e from out his state of evil JESUS READY TO Will Open the Spiritual Eyes of Those Who Asks it Says Minister"So Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight and they followed Him." This text formed the basis of the sermon delivered at Stull Memorial M. E. church last night by Rev. Arthur V. Pabbs. HeKlnnin; with a short historical sketch of Palestine at the time of the 'omin of Christ, the speaker pave statistics showing: that blindness was a prevalent disease In that ae. and said that the condition was nearly the same now. 'The chief business of Jesus is to open the eyes of the spiritual blind just as He opened the physical eyes of those hepgurs along- the road to Jericho," said Kev. RaUhs, "and He is always willing' and able to cure this spiritual blindness. It is to be noted that Jesus always performed ndracles for others, but we never read of Him asking- mercy or using His divine power for Himself." Then he told the story of Samson's capture by the Phillistines and how the latter put out Samson's eyes 'n order that his power would be lessened. This Incident was compared to the capture of a strong spirit by the devil and to the later causing spiritual blindness so that the captured spirit lost the sight of Clod. "He is passing among you tonight," continued Rev. Pabbs, "and all that' He asks is tha you ask Him to heal you. He has the willingness, you mu-t have the desire. He is passing by with hands full of mercy and with eyes full of divine love and tenderness. Your way is plain. The moment has come. Will you choose Him?" At the close of last night's services all those who had been received into the church during the revival form ed a semi-circle in front or the alt. ri ami the entire congregation steppet.' forward to welcome them into their organization. It will be decided tonight whether or nut the services will continue another week. Paptism of converts will take place on Sunday mornincr, Feb. 13. The musical program during the revival was conducted by Raymond Prai man. .Miss I'eari l-ntzien was tne accompanist. "FATAL MISTAKE" IS MINISTER'S SUBJECT "A Fatal Mistake" was the subject of the sermon given by Rev. J. M osier at the Mizpah Kvangrlical church last nixht. Members of tho Helta Bible class and the Knights of the Plue circle conducted the opening services. Charles Reinochl led the Helta class and William P arson led the Knights of the Blue circle in the service of song and prayer. "When !ot pitched his tent towaro Sodom he mode the fatal mistake of his lite." said Ue. Mcs.er. "Lot had -:ood associations and a true, frieml in Abraham and it is a great blessing for any Christian to have one in whom he may confide. Many young men have tnade shipwrecks of their fare in Christ, because they rfustl t confide in a true friend. .iany young men are making failures in lit, because they think their Sunday school te.u her or their parents at home are incapable of imparting proper instruction. "And so Lot made a disastrous failure when he iarted company with his tried and true friend. Abraham. J'jie ;)ore tnergy one Is willing to eonf ibute to his Christian profession or anv phase of life the better he will be off." On Friday evening Mizpah Sun(KLV s hool under the direction of the yi printen. lent. S. Lehman, w ill ha e charge of the opening services. "'1' iai music will be a icature for the evening.

be i-.au so he is afraid and seeks to (ver u; his cowardice with excuses." Rev. T. K. (leorqe. pastor of the church, stated last evening that the results of the revival had been so ea-coura-pinp: that' the possibility of continuing the nisrhtly services for another week was helnsr ronsidrred. The decision is to be reached Saturday. Three converts vvere received la?t evening making 25 the granl tctal. Providing the church decides to terminate the services this week a sclemn closing servivce will be held Sunday evening.

RELIGION KEEPS LB CIVILIZED Could Not Continue to Survive Unless Men Are Saved. "Tho condition of fallen man Is the lowest lecause the height from which he fell was the highest," was the proposition out of which Rev. J. T. Orton built his sermon on "The Greatest Salvation" to the members of Hope Presbyterian church last night. One convert responded. The preacher viewed his subject from various points. Merely from the worldly viewpoint salvation is necessary. "The whole framework of society is built on the two great commandments of God, 'Thou shalt love thy God with thy whole heart, with thy whole mind, with thy whole soul, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' " He poke of the dire results that follow in the wake of the neglect of there all-embracing commands and maintained that in order that civilization itself might survive it is necessary that men should be saved. "You are not redeemed by gold nor by silver nor by sacrifice, but by the blood of the God-riade man. Thv very fact that it required the death of the -Son of God s sufficient evidence. Hell with all its cohorts as well as all of the wicked men of earth, strove to prevent the redemption of the world and its elevation to the lost heights." He spoke of the dormant church, and showed how it agrees with the plans of the devil and is really a concurrence in the work of wicked men. "The interest of heaven, the interest of hell, the Interest of all intelligent men and women prove that this is the greatest salvation," exclaimed the pr6cher in summary ami then he went on to show that the means offered were adequate to the great task. Ho pictured the irr provements that have been made in savages by the introduction of the word of God, and then he turned to our own experience. "We have looked on our fellow men," ho said, "so besotted, so bestial and we exclaim. 'Can these dead bones live?' Yes, they can and they do. They are verified by the words of Jesus Christ, the wonder-worker. We all know that in His gospel there is the power to turn the mind, hearts and wills of men." DOCTRINE OF CHRIST MAKES MEN BROTHERS Rev. Castle Says There I One Faith, One ("lirist and Ono Baptism. Rev. IMwin Castle of landen Christian church, spoke last night on "The Fnity of Relievers." "U is the word of God," said Re f ast;e, "hat enters into the hearts of n.en and not abstract theories of religKn." The doctrine of Christ makes all men brothers and invites 'is to work united for the common attainment of our eternal salvation." From the text. "Hp hath quickened us together, and raised us up togeiher." the minister showed that ell men are one in the cause of righteousness, and that the great brotherhood of Christianity should work tort ther. Quoting Matthew- "Upon this rock I shall build my church, and the gates of heli shall not prevail against it." P?. Castle defined th? church as the collecthe body of Christians, followers of the doctrines of Jesiis Christ. 'Tinted we stand, divided we fall." said tho speaker. "There is but one faith, one Christ and one baptism. All men are e,ual in the sight of God, and that man is greatest who best uses the powers God has given him. "We are not tempted beyond what we ire able to bear. God gives us strength, to withstand the temptation thrown in our path. There is greater joy by far in the service of God. than one can find in the spirit of worldliness." BOY'S FOOT SAVED BY MOTHER'S SKIN Paul Garrison, 3'", j. Monroe St., has returned to his ho ne after having been confined to rZpworth hospital for four months. The bottom of the !' foot was torn off when he mis struck by a motorcycle, but physicians were able to save the foot by grafts taken from the mother's arm.

WANTS -STREETS MADE PASSABLE

Lincoln Civic Club Seeks Improvement of Leer and Calvert. Members of the Lincoln Civic club are centering their efforts now on the work of securing an improvement of Leer and Calvert sts. It is hoped to have the streets paved, but if paving cannot be secured tho ritv will be asked to "at then least make the streets passable." The matter was taken up at the meeting of the club Thursday night. Pres't William A. Snoor appointed a committee, comprised of Messrs. Snyder, Walmer, Heideman and Ilawbitzel, to confer with councilmen on the question. It was the sentiment at the meeting that the two streets were in such bad condition as to place the residents In that section of the city in unusual jeopardy in case of lire. In proof of this it was pointed out that several months atro one of the pieces of fire apparatus became stuck in the mud on one of those streets. Aside from the matter of protection from fire, the members of the club hold that a better approach to the Lincoln school should be had. The question will be brought up again at the next regular meeting, Feb. 24. The Lincoln club has approved of the purchase of Hum Village a.id a committee of three was appointed Thursday to meet with the council,1 on March 9, at which time all the! civic clubs will be represented at j the council meeting for the purpose of making known the general sentiment in regard to the purchase of the park. Those who will represent the Lincoln club are Messrs. Stout, HiMvbitzel and Luther. On the subject of "Politics and Government," Ienn J, Oare, speaking before the club Thursday night, upheld the idea of a single standard of morals. He made the application to politics and government by showing that if parents would raise their sons along the same moral lines as they raise their daughters there would be less corruption among office-seeking men and among voters. In addition to the business meeting and the talk by Mr. Oare, there was an interesting musical program. TWO CONVERTS AT FIRST EVANGELICAL "What Are Yod Wai'Inj? For, or Why Are You Waitin;,'?" was the topic which Rev. W. H. Freshley of the First i:angelical church used for his sermon last evening. The result of Rev. Freshley's appeal was answered by two conversions. The text which Mr. Freshley discussed was taken from the acts of the Apostles. i'2:lfi. "Excuses," said the minister, "that men are making now for not having made their decision yet. are all false and can be easily refuted. Many times a man will say, I am waiting to be convinced. I am waiting until I have enjoyed the world enough, then I will come. No man will die until he has suffered and he will not leave tho world without an effort. " 'I am waiting for my friends' is a bad type f excuse, for if waiting for his friends for anything else than to go to church he would gladly ask them to join him, but to church, no, never would he ask them to accompany him to the house of God. "God's plan." concluded the pastor, "is to forsake our sins, return to God and live happy thereafter." The topic which Rev. Freshley will discuss at the services this evening is "What Think Ye of Christ?" or "His Second Coming."
