Holds Theories Not Sufficient To Gain Heaven

"There are a great many people who want just as little religion ns possible, in this world. but they want to go to heaven when they die. You cannot have a revival if you never think of (Jod nor speak to him outside of the (hurch." So declared Fiev. L. C. Klhott. speaking at the Kpworth M. 1 1, church list night. Taking as his subject "The f hurch." the Itev. Plliott first mado clear that he was speaking not of a church of a special denomination but of the universal church of (iod. T) ie vast difference between a church and the church of Jod." j.ald the evangelist, "is that vou join ( the first, but you are born into the second. It is not ssential that to he a Christian you join a church, hut it is better in than out. for where the (hurch is not the devil is. loo many people mistake good morality for Christianity. Some have a theory of what a Christian is but theories will never take you to heaven, f r you cannot be personally acquainted with Jesus Christ except by the Holy Spirit." The children will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock with Itev. S. I McAlpin. who will also preach Sunday morning on "Coin? to Hell in the Footsteps of Jesus Christ." Sunday and Monday evenings the music will be furnished by a choir from New Carlisle. PRESENT CENTURY !S GREATEST ONE Development in All Except Religion Is Most Marked in History. "When you are bom again vou give yourself to Jesus Christ and Ills Spirit is joined with your spirit and gradually your viewpoint becomes the same as His. You forget your old associations and desires and new ones replace them. All things in the external world take on a new appearance, but the change i? not in them: ;t is in you." Ko said Rev. M. C. Hunt at the Trinity M. 11. church last evening in his sermon on "The lie-birth." He chose for his text, "Verily, I say unto you. except a man tie born again he can not see the kingdom of Clod." Friday evening the services will be special for young folks, but adults are also encouraged to attend. "The present century," said the pastor, "marks the greatest development in material prosperity, in education, and in philanthropic undertakings that the world has ever seen. Put in spite of all this material development, of all our universities and our philanthrophy. the world today is lost and is unable to save itself. "Greece was a nation that stood for culture, art and estc.tics; Koine was a nation that stood for law, power and human organization: but both have passed from the world. This is evidence from histoty that mere human development is not sutticient to guide a nation. A spiritual re-birth is the all-sustaining power necessary. Iivvs Not Su'hcient. "An ideal society where all will be as brothers and sisters can not bo brought hont by laws of the legislatures, even if all the nations of the world should unite for this purpose. The only way to bring about this ideal society is to have all the people reborn in the Spirit of God in order to remove the seltish spirit from their hearts. "To be born acain is a complete change in our inner natures. It i the taking of a lower form of life and ingrafting upon it a higher form of life. It is the ingrafting Spirit of God in our hearts and it thus ruses us to a higher plane ot lite. do who is born again gives himself to Christ that he might mould his life according to Christ's ideas-, just as the clay is given to the potter in order that he can mould it into various forms of pottery. "It is neces.vu-v to be born again because the natural man is an alien to Christ: because he i- serving under the f.ag of an enemy of Christ: and because he has sworn loyaltv to a different king. The only way we can get into the kinsdoni of God I. to change our customs, our purposes and our loyalty. ' How do you expect that the seed of 5in sown in you heart will ever grow into something good ? This v.ould be just .s imposihlf as it Would be for the seed of the thit!e to grow into a wheat stalk.

T iSt. Paul Considered Them as; I I r : I I minor loss in uomparisun ! With God. ' St. Paul gave up social prestige, racial pr'de and political favor for the sake of Christ and considered J them not w orth w hile in comparison with what he had gained," Ilev. Jesse P. Hogue said in his sermon on "Religious Concentration" at the River Park M. K. church last night. During the past week eight conversions have been made and 10 men have pledged themselves never to usf tobacco again. "Consecration anl concentration have a very close connection." said Rev. Rogue. "We speak of concentration in education and in business und w know only too well how necessary it is to success. We speak of consecration to religion and we are equally warranted in stressing the fact that such an entire and complete giving of one's life is necessary to success. Christ is always drawing the line of comparison between the few scattered possessions of a man's holdings and the pearl of great price, the hidden treasure in the held. He tells us thr?t it is far better to give everything of .secondary valui for some one thing of first Value Saint Paul relates that he counts all things but a mere loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. Social prestige, racial pride, political favor, religious loyalty and conviction were all given for the sake of espousing a cause that was the sneer of the world. We delude ourselves by thinking too much of what we are giving up. such delusions will vanish, if we will only relied on what we are receiving in exchange. We give our poor, hroken lives and we get the rich inheritance of all that is good that has been creaed and preserved by all preceding generations. To give completely ami t entire ly consecrate ourselves simply means that we shall place the Kingdom of God and righteous living first. Such a consecration puts a man in a position where he is capable of receiving the Kingdom of (Jod." SIN IS LIKENED TO CRIMINAL BY MINISTER Hectares Wrong Doing .Must Sooner or Later IW Brought 1 Light. If committing sin had to be done in the open. Satan would be a desperate individual. Rev. R. I. Champion, evangelist at the Powell Heights church, believes. "There would be a great deal of restraining if men had to open their hearts." Rev. Champion declared at the revival services last night. "Could men s hearts be photographed. I tell vou there would be a mighty commotion in this community. "Rut. regardless of present conditions, take hee.i of the Rible warning. 'Your sins will find you out.' "Sin is a criminal and man is the victim who is plundered and spiritually ruined. God does not damn man to perdition because he hates man. but when man refuses to give up sin he falls victim to the divine v engea iu e. "Three things encourage man to -i-.- ti.mplv th f.nts that God will 1 forgive, that man is seemingly im mune from evil results and that no one will find out man's sin. Rut I say. beware; God will not be mocked. As to man's sin being found out that is a certainty. Men are what tlu-y are and character and fin in little mannerisms will come out in the long run. When the books open on the last day what a record smie of us will have! Are we willing to meet ours? Though our sins will f.nd us out we can thank God for forgiveness that will be ours if we only ask for it during this most propitious time of the rev i v al." Rev. Chapman will conduct a special children's meeting after school classes are dismissed this afternoon. A special men's service will be held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. DECEPTION HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE DEVIL I lirct Confoions Mark Services ' Jleltl at TirM Churc h of j t lie Urethren. I "Re not deceived for God is not mocked, for what ever a man soweth .so shall he reap," Gal. (:'. was the text used by the Rev. J. A. Robinson in his sermon at the Pirst Church of the Urethren last evening. Three t ont'essions w ere made, they being two ladies and one gentleman. "Deception." the speaker .said, 'means the appearance of that which is not right, or living what we do not live." He tcld of thej many times people are led astray! and deceived in th:s world and cited instances of the same in our present city life. "Deception." he said, "comes from the devil and had its oriuin with him and through this mean- brings about our ruin." The speak. r showed that if we live a life of hhame and sin we must reap the results in hell, for God has s.tld, "Whatsoever a man soweth o shall he reap " Tonight the sermon will be on "Drifting Away From God."

HIS T

All Fools Not In the Asylum Asserts Minister

"Playing the Pool", wa the subject that Rev. George K. Rnterline spokö upon last night at the tjuincy Street Baptlet church. He took his text from Samuel, 2f 21. "All fools are not in the Insane .csylum." declared Rev. Knterline. Continuing he said in part, "From this text of Samuel. we have a great king who played the fool, because of jealousy and prejudice. These two faults so blinded him in nis self interest that he found himself lighting against God." "There are host of men at large w ho just as really play the fool today as did King Saul long; ago. All men who perish In doing what their best judgment tell them not to do and who go against the advice of their friend are playing the fool. Men who stubbornly persist in presuming that God has curst them, can only end in their own destruction are very evidently playing the fool. The man who tries to ignore God, whether as to His existence .and power, or His real interest in man, is playing the fool. The Rible says. 'The fool hath said in his heart, there Is no God. Only a fool will say that in the face of all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary." GOD S LOVE IS FELT EVERYWHERE We Cannot Hide Any Secrets From Our Maker, Declares Rev. J. A. Mclntuff. "The devil chases us everywhere with the purpose of destroying our souls, but the unchangeable bAve of God protects us wherever we go," said the Rev. J. A. Mclntuff, evangelist from Johnstown, Va... before a large congregation at the First Urethren church on S. Michigan st.. on Thursday evening. Taking for his text, "The Rove of God," St. John, 1-4:16. the preacher said In part: "God's love is everywhere. We feel at times that we can find a place to hide, but God finds us everywhere. You can hide your secrets from your wife, husband or family, but you absolutely cannot hide anything away from God. Kvery thought, act. deed in our life is recorded by the angels. "God loves you all, but will not save you unless you comply with the laws and commandments given by Him. (iod is love. This term implies that God has knowledge of ii.-. He knows us and desires our love. There is something in us for God to love us. All Need God's Help. "God loves us all because we need God's help at all times. We think we need many things because we have imaginary things in our minds. What we need is the love of God. "When Adam and Rve sinned in the Garden of Kden. the human race has met with a calamity, and that is why we need God's love. We arc suffering a calamity on account of the sin." Speaking of true love in the human race caused through God's mercy. Rev. Mclntuff spoke of the great amount of relief work done for the Relgians through the American relief commission and through the generosity of the American public. Other examples of love in the community, as cited by the preacher, were the assistance rendered the victims of the San Francisco disaster a number of years ago and during the Ohio floods. "There is nothing on this earth," declared the preacher, "that can exactly express God's unchangeable love. God's love is a searching love. K is an endurable love. Rven if you have sinned, blasphemed, turned away from God, He still loves you. "Have you ever realized that it was through God's love that you have a happy home, an occupation, happy moments and pleasures in this life? God's love is a redeeming love. Man has sinned, but God sent His son Jesus Christ. Who suffered, died and redeemed man." The preacher expressed words of appreciation toward The NewsTimes '.?r rendering fair and accurate reports of the revival meetings'. The evangelist also asserted that The News-Times contributed its fare to make such successful meetings possible. It was announced that the planned meeting for the women of the congregation on Sunday afternoon was cancelled. FIFTH WARD DEMOCRATS BOOST FOR ROSTISER Ry a unanimous decision, the democrats of the fifth ward declared themselves in favor of Harvey Rostiser as candidate for mayor, at a meeting Thursday night. The principal address of the evening wa made by Mr. Rostiser, who told what his policy would be If elected and outlined his campaign methods. "lery and farm laborers have the lowest death rate.

w Possibility for Good in Every Man, Says Rev. C. E, Watkins Praises Sunday. "How would you enjoy a phonographic record of our thoughts reproduced before the congregation this evening:" queried Rev. Charles E. Watkhn of Muncie in a sermon last evening at the First Raptist church. "There isn't a single secret chamber in your heart that Jesus does not enter. Jesus keeps a record of our thoughts. Rev. Watkins took as his text John. 22:23, the subject of his sermon being, "Jesus Knows." The evangelist enumerated four things which Jesus knows: First. in in the heart; second, intents and purposes, and third, the possibility for good in a man: fourth, the possibility for evil in a man. In speaking of the second point, he said: "Christ not only knows the sin in a man's heart but also the intents and purposes. Christ will take into consideration in the last day the purpose of a man, no matter whether the end was accomplished. If a man tries and does not succeed, he will not be condemned by God. A man will succeed whose wife understands "lis purpose and places her faith in him, as sure ns God is in heaven If we can feel that Jesus knows, we surely have done our work well." "Christ knows the possibility for good in a man." he continued. "In every man there is a possibility lying dormant. It was this knowledge that produced Jerry McCauley, the great apostle of the drunkards: Sam Hadley, the great soul winner, and Gypsy Smith. the wonderful evangelist. Jesus kncT.s. He looks down into your heart and sees possibilities in you." Rev. Watkins. in speaking further on the question of good, characterized Billy Sunday as the greatest evangelist of the twentieth century. In conclusion, the speaker dwelt upon the possibilities for sin in every man. declaring that evil in a man may break out at any time like

Drifting With the Crowd Keeps Many From Joining the Church

"At the Cross Roads" wa the subject of Thursday evening's Fermon by the Rev. W. A. Rrundige in the revival service held at the Indiana Avenue Christianchurch. "The turning joint in men's lives conns with the awakening of conscience," the pastor declared. "When we are able to distinguish between right and wrong then do we choose our own paths. What road are you on tonight? Is it the narrow road, that leads to heaven, or is it the broad easy road to hell? "Lr?t us not forget to save our souls In the work of our lives. There are many who forget God in their hunt for the almighty dollar. There are many of us who have, become idolaters, worshipping money as our god. Of course we are obliged to earn money to permit our living the life God intended. However, we must be careful not to let money making have too prominent a place in our lives. "We choose our own road. Kvery man is born in the same way; every man has the same chance to save his soul, and it is no one's fault but the sinner if he is lost. God leaves a prairie fire. "Men." he paid, "depend too much upon environment and evil besets them in middle life. They should depend on Jesus. He knows the rewards of sin and He knows what it is to be brought back into fellowship with God." Announcement was made by the pastor previous to the sermon that a meeting of the Women's Missionary society would be held this afternoon at the home of Mrs. F. If. Spinney, Ö 1 3 K.

man to woric out hin own lvatioru CndouMedly God could force the etnner to revognize Jesus s Hi divine Son. but that is not the plan of the gospel. Man has fre will in th course laid out for him by the Father. "It Is easy to drift with the crowd. Have you ever noticed on a day when the htrets are crowded how easy it is to go the way the people are going, and what a dlflicult thing it is to go in opposition to them? It Ls the same way in the working out of our salvation. Noah preached the truth about the world being flooded, but the majority of the crowd laughed at him and the reft followed the leaders. You know what the result was. The crowd ha: a great amount of influence In the forming of men's opinions. "It takes courage and manhood to be a Christian today. We must tight a battle with ourselves even as Jesus did in the garden of Gethsemane. The battle is over when the man walks down the aisle and declares himself for Christ. The fight is waged with yourself in your seat as vou decide one way or another."

text was taken from the book of Hebrews, second chapter and third verse. "How- shall we escape !f we neglect salvation?" There is no escape from the penalties of the sinner if we neglect the salvation that has been provided for us by the God of all, who sent His only Son that the plan for our salvation might be proved to all mankind. The great plan for our salvation is to emancipate us from the tyrannical bondage of sin that we are more or less held by. and which dominates us even to the point of causing us to neglect rny measures for freedom from its hold that is offered to us daily. The plan of salvation is the greatest of all the Lord's favors for the sole benefits of His people, and It is great for the reason that God sent His only begotten Son to die on the tree of the cross for us. It Is plain to us that there is no other way for us to enter into His kingdom, that His salvation is the only one. and to escape from sin at all ever' attention must be given to the work of following out the salvation that he has prepared for our use.
