Campaign is Now On in Full
Christ's History Proves He W as of Divine Birth Takir.g for his subject 'The Historical Christ". Evangelist .lohn A. Mclnturff of Johnstown. Pa., criticised the modern belief that Christ was not of divine birth, before a large congregation at the First Urethren church lest night. Previous to the sermon, trie pastor. Ke. A. H. Thomas, announced that Evangelist Mclnturff would conduct the services during the next two weeks. "I do not believe." said the Hev. Mr. Mclnturff. "in the divine birth of Jesus from my ability to explain it or frum any theological explanation I have ever read, but 1 believe in the divine birth from what He was. Christ, as He stands out in history compiled by friends and enemies has historically proven Himself to be more than mere man. He fulfilled the prophecies. His own statement was, 'I shall rise again', and He did rise. If it be not a contradiction of terms 1 should like to ask the question. 'Was He a sinful liar, a truthful impostor or an honest deceiver? "' c y c SNEEDEE Some Members so Thin Skinned They Cannot Undergo Persecution. A revival In the church of today was deemed the most necessaiy thing by the Rev. J. A. Groves in his sermon, "What Kind of a Revival Do We Need?" Tuesday evening at the Memorial F. B. church, cor. South and St. Joseph sts., at its service in the revival campaign. "We need a revival that has a solid foundation." the evangelist stated. "The unconverted and Godless members of the church need to be revived. There are people in the church who are continually backsliding. It Is to these people that 95 per cent of the preaching is dono today."' "We need a revival of willingness to undergo hardship and persecution," said Hev. Groves. 'Some of our (hurch memlers are so thin skinned they could not undergo perneoution. We need a revival of a constructive kind, that will go on after this campaign is over. We need a revival of deep conviction. Iet those inside, the church confess their ein?, and then the ones outside will be on their way to salvation. We need a revival of spiritual power; not that nonsensical thing that makes a great noise, hut that quiet kind that accomplishes results. And lastly we need a revival of real Blble study. A real study that will point out the true Interpretation of God's word. "The way to secure this kind of a revival," the doctor declared in conclusion, "was to persevere in God's v. ork of saving souls. Pray for dednlte people, do not pray for South Bend at large. We must she ourselves to prayer and work." SPIRIT OF GOD REAL SPIRIT OF A REVIVAL Mut Permeate Community. Homo and Individual, Savs Hot. Daniel Kaley. Following the trend of the theme Introduced in his sermon Monday evening on the meaning of a revival, Hev. Daniel A. Kaley delivered another discourse last evening on the "Dynamic of a He.ival". He took as his text Zaehariah 4:. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, salth the Ixrd." In speaking of the secret of a revival, he said, "The power in any real revival is the spirit of CJod working through the community, home and individual. The secret of a re-awakening is found in the text. A revival must have birth in the spirit, which In turn must permeate tho community, home and individual." Illustrating the above point. Rev. Kaley referred to the chaotic condition of the world at the beginning, showing how the chaos was brought into symmetry when the spirit of God brooded over the earth. The restoration of lost relUious sense after the Pentecost, he also attributed to the working of the spirit. "You are the motors throuph which the Holy Fpirit works." said the pastor In enumerating to his hearers, the agencies through which religious v ork was accomplished. Hev. Kaley compared the individual to the street car motor, which is the medium through the current is curled. Prayer and song were given as the other powerful agencies. Summing them up. he said. "These three will be of no avail unless, the individual is throbbing and pulsating with the life of the living God." Among other things, he declared that too many people are playing with hell and that persons are more afraid of the poor house than they are of hell. This evening's sermon will be, "The Man Who Went to Sleep in anithir Man's ltp." Special musir and singinc by a chorus choir. Services begin promptly at 7:30.
IDLE WOMEN ARE
P MAKERS Some Seem Able to Love Anyone But Their Husband, Says Rev. G. E. Enterline. Women in a goodly number attended the special services and heard a special sermon, delivered ! bv the Hev. George E. Enterline. pastor, at the Quincy Street Baptist church on Tuesday evening. The church choir of 12 young ladies rendered special selections in an able manner. before he delivered the sermon proper, Mr. Enterline laid stress upon the importance of the members in the congregation to go cut with the determination to persuade those who do not profess religion, to attend the revival meetings. "Idleness, laziness are two things intolerable for a woman, but the same may be said about men. Idle women, who instead of paying attention to their household, go out gossiping are the mischief of the community. Should Iiok Associate. "If you women do not want to see your daughters suffer in the chances of winning a man, then do not let her associate with a handsome and f attractive girl friend of the same neighborhood, as the contrast may prove the winning of the man in question for the pretty girl. "Foolish things eminato in the minds of idle women. Some women instead of paying attention to their children, devote so much time to their poodles and puppies, that it is a shame. It is a very poor substitute for children. It also happens that some women love most anyone but their husbands, while some tend to pay attention to nothing else but clubs and theaters. Of course there are good clubs and good entertainments in some of the theaters. Pays Tribute to Mothers. After scoring the so-called society women, the speaker paid a splen lid tribute to the woman, to the mother, whose real joy is the home, the husband, the children. "Man is the climax of God's creation, superior to all except the woman. It Is a difficult thing to lind a perfect woman or a perfect man. Perfection is a relative term as men are perfect in some ways, but human beings are not perfect. Only Jesus Christ wa-s perfect. "A diligent woman is the one whose value cannot be calculated or estimated. To appreciate a worthy woman it is necessary to see the contrast between a lazy, idle and a worthj woman. "The priceless woman is the worthy woman. She is not fraid to work. She is the true lover of the home. She does not waste her time In the so-called society. She pays attention to her children. A priceless woman yearns for her children. A worthy woman realizes that the home is the ideal place for her on this earth." LOVE GREAT POWER IN REACHING SOULS Greatness of Jesus in Humanity Finds Impression in Ills IaisC Agony. "A Passion for Souls", was the theme of a sermon delivered last evening at the Westminster Presbyterian church by Hev. A. Christy Hrown. in which he told of the men who in all ages had been examples of the great love they bore for souls. "There are many ways of reaching souls," he declared, "among them being preaching, singing, teaching lhMe classes, living a clean life and giving a good example to our fellow men. Rut they are all weak unless back of it there Is a wonderful love which reaches down "to souls and helps to pull them up. Love overreaches all arguments of intellect, and we must have love for others if we are to be used by God." Hev. Hrown gave as men who had the greatest love as Jeremiah and Moses in the old testament. "These men." he said, "were the ones who had tho most to do In saving and redeeming other. Jesus carried into the world the burden of the father. He loved men and because of his love had a power of speech that has never been surpassed. The greatness of Jesus in humanity tinds expression in his last agony." Leslie Whltcomb of the McCormlck Theological seminary of Chicago, sang a solo following the ser-mo;-Special music was rendered by a chorus choir. Teachers of the Sunday school met in the church parlors for a conference after the services. CIVIC CLUB ACTIVITIES WediH-lay livening.

Pcler Owed Success to Heart
of Gold and Faith in Christ
"Why was Simon Peter a success?" queried Hev. C. A. Shierey of Ft. Wayne in the third revival service at the Trinity I'resyterian church Tuesday evening. "Because his heart , was of pure gold and he trusted ii: ' Christ. You will not take the re- j Luke of a friend or the pastor when J they try to take you from your evil ways. You would not take the reLuke Christ gave Peter. You would use the rebuke of some one Interested In yo ir oul as an excuse to stay away from the house of God. You should heed such advice. Let your heart be like that of Peter. Let it be a heart of gold." j Doctor Shierey gave a very' vivid outline of the lifo of Peter and pointed out the utter unselfishness with which the simple fishermen gave their life to the Master. "De- ! s-pna mis great manifestation or I iith." he declared, "the apostles t looked upon Christ as a powerful j man who was to become their king." I In telling of how Christ drew his (apostles to him, the evangelist said, ESULTS OF SIN ARE THREEF Jealousy, Ambition and Greed Come From Wrong-Doing Says Rev. Davis. "It was night when Judas left the company of Christ and his disciples, but it was night in Judas soul for it was the black Plutonian nicht of sin", said Kev. Henry I,. Davis In opening his sermon last night at the First M. E. church. He told of the graded punishments taught by the scriptures and human society, hence there must be grades of culpability for sin. "The sin of Juda.s was the blackest of all history," Hev. Davis said. It was sin against light. The opportunities of this traitor were many. He saw Christ's miracles. he heard Christ's words and had the fellowship of the disciples, yet over these he boldly marched on his way to hang on the cross the redeemer. This is the pathos of men's sins in South Hend inside and outside of the church. We sin in the race of unparalled opportunities. It was the sin resulting in the triumph of the lower over the higher man. There were two Judases, as there are two in e;ich of us, a good and evil. Judas evil self became triumphant. The results of this was threefold, jealousy, ambition, greed. It was binding sin that come not suddenly, but gradually. There is hope for the sin of sudden outburst, but for that sin which comes slowly, gradually weaving its gauzy threads, at last binds Its victim like cables of steel. This is a sin which no nation forgives, because it was sin unpardonable. "The Backslider's Return" will be the subject of the sermon tonight. MOSES AND CHRIST COMPARED IN SERMON lioili Sent Here to Deliver a People lYoni Pondage of Slii. "Moses was a type; Christ represented the anti-type," declared the Hev. W. A. Brundige, pastor of the Indiana Avenue Christian church last night, in addressing his congregation on the theme: "Moses A Typo of Christ." The speaker showed that both Moses and Christ had missions in the world. "Moses." he said, "was sent by God to deliver the Jews from the long state of bondage, which had caused them to lose all hope and elf-resje':t. The Egypt of that time was a type of the world today, he added, and continued by representing Moses as a type of the future Savior, Israel as a type of the sinner, and the taxmaster as a type of the world's besetting sins. Hev. Hrundige then dealt with the besetting sins of our own day, showing with what ease profanity, drinking, and other evils grow into habits which cannot be overcome. "There are many men in South Bend today, who are going down to perdition because of some besetting sin," he declared. Continuing, he showed the great similarity In the lives of Moses and Christ. Both were of Jewish parentage. The lives of both were sought by jealous kings, who feared their coming. It was the mission of Moses to deliver the world from sin: it was the mission of Christ to deliver the world from sin. Each performed miracles by the will of God to show the people the truth of their messages. I'AIiSn ALA KM.

"Jesus astonished them with His miracles. They saw the miracles of chancing the wine into water and feeding the multitude and numerous ethers, and they expected him to become the king and do away with the poverty and disease of the world.' "How little did they know that Christ would die on the Cros.s? The rebuke he gave to Peter when he asked Christ if he were to claim his earthly kingdom at Jerusalem, was a shock to the apostles. Hut Peter's heart was of gold and stood the test." At the conclusion of the services, Dr. Shierey complimented the congregation on the spirit they have shown In the early meetings, and urged that they continue the good v. ork, bringing in more wayward brethren. Hev. John S. Hums, pastor of the church, led the singing. Announcement was made that Dr. Shierey would speak at this evenings services, using as his subject, 'Can We Forget the Past." The meeting begins at 7:10 o'clock.
STOMAL FAITH TED Hi PAST 'Rev. Jesse Parker Bogue Says Religion is Measured by Its Fruits. "Heligion is instinctive." said Kev. Jesse Parker Hogue of Linden, Ind., in a serman last night on "The Origin of Religion, " the second of a series along this line that he is giving during the revival at the River Park M. E. church. His subject for tonight will be "l.'niversal Religion." "All of the great religions of the present are deeply rooted in the life of the past." said Hev. Hogue. "They i have been fostered bv our ancestors. each generation has gradually purilied old faiths of their decaying elements and preserved and developed their living elements. We may take the road of history and travel back to earliest times and lind that there were more gods than people. We may study the customs and habits of the most primitive peoples of tha earth and find that everything In instinct with religion alive with a spirit. We may observe the development of the individual mind of the individual man and there tind the impulse of religion one of the most vital." The deepest human fact in religion is the religious nature of man. What does this mean? God is at the very heart of human life. It may be a lowly origin, but the worth of religion is not measured by its roots, but by its fruits. The religious nature of man does not mean that he is "all right," but that he has all the greater responsibility for the development of his religious nature under the inspiration of God and the teaching of Christ. Hecause a man is by nature hungry he needs food. Hecause a man is by nature religious he needs God. R. C. Hubbard lead the evangelistic singing The octet sang "Who Is There?"

Swing Over
ASKS THAT CHRIST BE GIVEN CHANCE
Rev. Guy H. Black Quotes Evangelist in Saying Devil Has Right-of-way. 'The devil has had the right of way in this town; give Jesus Christ a chance now." said Hev. Guy H. Black in quoting a well known evangelist in his sermon at the Iwell Heights M. E. church last nightRev. Hl.ck said that these words were as applicable to South Bend as they were in the western city where they were first spoken. "In every revival man should look into himself to see if his heart is ready for the word of God," Rev. Black said. "God sees your heart. He knows if you will be faithful to the revival. He sees beneath the surface of things. Good appearances may hide an evid heart from your fellow man but never from (Jod." Hev. Black gave the experiences of Dr. lewis Hanks in a western town as an example to his congregation of a people converted by an earnest, revival. Dr. Banks said. "The devil has had. the rihf of way in this town; give chance now." "Sometimes a' man is a hypocrite ', two faced. a model before his ' neighbors, hut a beast at home, a j sham before strangers, his real self) at home. 8uch men should take this j opportunity to look into themselves, this chance to get right with God. The spirit the people bring to church i builds up the atmosphere of the ! church. Bring God to your church j "Lock into your heart as God does. See if your life is filled with the spirit of love. Get your heart j right snd God will be with you. It' is natural for people to drift away, j perhaps to fall deeply into sin, but the day comes when you look into jourseif and see this evil. Cast it out and cone to Goo. "Tho Christian people here will help you upward to the good life. ! If you see that your life, is not Just right then your salvation depends on your willingness to get right with God. God's spirit is here tonight, ready to fit you for heaven by making yoj what you should be." Hev. I. Champion of Selby, O.. j the visiting evangelist scheduled to i speak, was delayed by late trains, but will preach the sermon tonight. MAN CANNOT INVENT HIS OWN SALVATION Person Can Ic Heaven and Never Do a Wrong: Tiring, Says Minister. 'A person can loose: heaven and rever do a wrong thing in his life," said the Rev. Melvin C. Hu.U at the Trinity M. E. church last night, in explaining his text taken from Hebrew, 2nd chapter. Urd verse. "He who understands the word salvation will understand the whole Bible. He wlil understand repentance, conversion, new birth and the road that leads to the great place beyond will be unlocked for him," declared the speaker, while his appealing earnestness lent conviction to his words. "Salvation comes from God first, last and all time. It is His and must come from His power. Man is helpless to invent his own salvation, no matter whether he depend tn resolution or morality. Man made salvation is a falling bridge that will not sustain you." The speaker, in continuing with his sermon, told the story of two joung men, who failiner to heed a timely warning, were swept over the falls of Niägara. Applying the story he said, "Has there ever been a time in your life when you were closer to God than you are tonight. If so, then you are slipping into the ways of sin. nnd T am sending out a warning to you." GOD DEMANDS WE SAVE OUR OWN SOUL Man Must TJiminato Worldly Things to ;ive Spiritual Idfe a Cliancc. The third of the series of revival discourses at the First Baptist church, corner Wayne and Main sts., waa given by Evangelist Charles K. Watkiis. The text was "The Three Days' Journey." special music marked the evening's services, solo parts being tung by Mrs. Julia M. Rode. "In the days of Moses," said the speaker, "the peorle of Pharaoh's kingdem were surrounded with sin. God commanded Moses to go and bring thes sinners back into the faith. As a sacrifice he demanded these people to make a three days' Journey. Ukewise God demands upon us today which we recoken to be unreasonable but in the end they are nt-t, and are for our own good. "In making this three days' journr.ey God demands of us separation from the outside world and to give ourselves wholly to him. The reason for this is that the outaide world is full of sin and in fact is .Satan's abode and In order to be saved we must jrlve up ein. Eliminate worldly thlngH and allow only spiritual things to enter. A man that lias completed a three day journey is a man that La free from sin."

Urges Children to Help in 'Maring Revival a Success "If you are wis you ar roir.g to I get the little- "oys and trirls whom you have at Sunday sonod to bring their fathers and mothers to this revival. The children have ben the instruments for bringing many parents back to God." This was thadvice of the evangelist, Hev. H. 1. Dunlop. given at the Hop lT-s'y-terian church Tuesday evening. Using for his text "Break up your fallow ground." Rev. Lmr.Iop said: "Spiritually your heajt is th fallow ground. The seed is the Won! of God. Look into your hert and se what you find there. If you do this yon will have no time to criticize your nei,'hlK3rs. Jf you look back upon your past life nnd see how you have thrown away your time in sin. all your time will he. occupied. Jjook at the sin you love. It is tills sin that will le-ad you to eternal damnation if yon refuse to give it up. Break up that fallowground and accept the Word of (Jed. "If you really wish to Im religious think about Cro, think of Hi love, think of what He alls jou to do. think of what Christ has suffered for you, and the fallow ground will bring forth virtues." c MINISTER'S PIE Cooperation and the Proper Spirit Needed to Make for Glory of God. "The greatest organization on earth is the church. The greatest thing on earth Is the soul of man. And the greatest work on earth is the salvation of that soul from sin. v hich is the wor?; of the revival." With these words. Hev. J. A. Robinson of Des Moines, la., began his sermon on ' The Glorious Church and Her Revival" Tuesday evening at the First Church of the Brethren. Wednesday evening Iiis subject will be, 'The Preserving Power of the World." "The glorious church should bo a converted church," said the Hev. Robinson, "for conversion settles all ditliculties and problems that may arise within the church. It is all right for the church to be In the world, but it will not do for the world to be in the church. "The glorious church must be a united church. As lonn as backsliding, jealousy and criticism exists, the Holy Spirit is powerless to use the church for good ends. We must be unified before God's words can be verified. "Moreover, the glorious hurch must be a praying church. Wrayer is God's appointed way for obtaining our ends. The apostles regarded prayer as the most important thing of their lives. The revival is given in answer to prayers. "The revival fc? God's work. Human Instrumentality and the Holy .Spirit are merely Ills means. It should be held when the church really wants It, when the church is united, when the members are loyal to their vows, when all are willing to work, when Jesus 'hrist is the central figure, and the salvation of souls is the principal object." SELF FIRST IS RULE IN SAVING OF SOULS .Ie-u- an I Example of a Is Subject of Hev. C. Morris soul Winner Walter "Jesus an Example of a Soul Winner" was the subject of the sermon delivered at the Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal church by the pastor. Rev. Walter C. Morris. Tuesday night. He chose his text from SU Luke. "For the son of man has come to seek and to save that, which was lost." "Jesus eajtnrt into the world as a Savior and ojr life is that of a Christian when we follow in his footsteps." he asserted. "We vill havttho same spirt as He had fcr the scripture says: 'If we say that we abideth in Him we ought also so to walk even as He walked." The speaker then interpreted the meaning of this passage as it should b applied to the every day life of anyone of the congregation. "We must save our own souls betöre we can save others." declared Mr. Morris as he showed the necessity of applying the eternal truths to the lives of the faithful. But he also demonstrated the necessity of spreading the word of God among neighbors. "We must get afier lott humanity. Go after humanity:" he advised. "He that winneth souls is wise." BRIIYD CO.
