A. V. Habbs, at the Stull Methodist church last evening. "No one can succeed in a revival unless he has prayed much. We must receive the unction from the Iord, just as did the kings of old before they were crowned and the best way to do that is to call down the power of God by prayer." Taking as his theme the conversion of Cornelius, the Homan centurion, the pastor showed how the revival must develop if we are to fol- ! low the Biblical style. He said in I part: "Cornelius was a man of j prayer long before the angel of God appeared to him, and because he was a man of prayer, he was a man of power. When the I,ord is getting ready to do any work He gets His workers together, laying the spirit of service and devotion upon their hearts. God rarely reveals himself to men in actual sight today.

It was variously defined as to attribute the be indifferent to the invitation of the gospel or to wilfully and knowingly ! deny and resist the truth. 1 "The unpardonable sin cannot be a sin committed without knowing it: It cannot re a sin againsi jona Christ because he said he would forgive an sins; 11 is noi any one m the common sins of backsliding. lying, stealing, murder nor even the scarlet sin in themselves though they may lead to it. declared the ; speaker.

Using as his text the Iliblical i-tory of the renversion of the rich young man w no avc 'jo ail nla worldly thing for Christ. Ilev. Henry L. Davis spoke to his congregation at the First M. L church last night. The sinuing was directed by J. C. HjlHs, who also sang several solos. The speaker read the story of the conversion of the rich young man and told of the requirements the Lord made of him when he wished to become a Christian. "Perhaps," the speaker said, "we may not be as rich as the rich man. btu our sins are the same. His sin was that of living for this world alone and ours is the same. He thought only of worldly things and niakr.e money and many of us are following in his path. Making money too fast is a very serious matter that confronts us today and we must watch ourselves for God has said: 'It will be as easy for a camel to go through t ho fve of a needle as it will b for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. "our whole trouble today is that we r-an't break away from our worldly pleasures. Some people gi to shows when thfy should be in (hurch and some even us the list dime available to satisfy their pleasure-seeking wants. "We find people today who say they are going to come ;o 'hrist, but they cannot accept Him at the present time en account of the excitement a!out them. The cau.-e of this is pride and if wC really wanted Chr.st. we would accept Him under any condtior.s and -aro naught what those about us say or think. "Christ wants us, but if we want Him we must hake heaven the principal end of our life. You may turn away from Christ and say you will accept Him later, but now is the time before it is too late."

No doubt this boy tired of his bonolife and we might question the father for giving the boy money to leave. In this far off land of sin away from the words of his father he sewed will oats. "How many of us are living that kind of sin'.' We may not be going the pace this young man went, but we may be going a slower pace. Thi young man had talent and a good mind and could of had made Iiis mark in the world. Many nu n are under the sod because they undermined their health by bad acts. It is not -the desire of Cod to shorten these kind of lives, it is the devils and he reaps his harvest. Lvery man or woman who goes the wrong way will see the time when they will want." ALMOST A CHRISTIAN IS MINISTER'S TOPIC Prime Moment in i:ery Man's Life Wlien He Mut Decide liitun Life. "There is a prime moment in every man's life. It comes and if he lets it pass it is gone for ever. You must avail yourself of that moment. You are then at the almost. Arc yen going to stop with almost? What is there in the way? If there is nothing you must settle it like a man. and settle it now." said Kev. It. I. Champion at the Lowell Heights M. ".. church last evening. "Almost A Christian" was the subject of the evangelist's sermon. He pointed out how Paul had almost persuaded King Acrippa but Coking refused to take advantage of that prime moment and his chance was gone forever. Examples from the present time were taken to prove the uncertainly of this life and howit would pay to repent in time. "You are willing to admit that you are not a Christian but you will deny that you are an Infidel. Pagan i or Mohammedan. You believe there is a heaven and a hell. You admit that you believe in Christ, and thnt He is the One who suffered and died and will bo waiting at the right hand of the Father. You are pretty near a Christian. You can almost see into the Kingdom. You must t.-iKC the stop to be s-aved." concluded Itev. Cham pion. There was a special meeting for women yesterday afternoon and it resulted m two conversions. The people are making very special efforts for a successful closing and many conversions have resulted to date. Itev. Champion will speak on "The Unpardonable Fin" at this; evenings services.
