"but they are not any worse than their spouses at times, oh! how n"iueh meanne-s can be packed up in on man or woman. "A sharp tongue does not lio.vever mean that a man has a li'lit t s 11 his spiritual birthri-rht. There are no extenuating ireu Mi-ta m es in the matter of salvation. In the F.ibh we h-arn that F.-au sold his birthright to his-brother Jacob fr a mess of pottatce. Von cannot aflord to do as th foolish Fsau lid. for he made a bad bargain. "If a man couhl think only of this life and forget there is nie beyond it nullit be pardonable for him to offer feasible excuses, as to why he should not stick to tin straight ami narrow path. Hut there is a life beyond the 'rave and no man can afford t sell his eternal life for any momentary gratification. He who does so is ettin a mighty poor bargain. Any man who figures on present gratification at the sacrifice of eternal life sells his chance with (loci. Wh should any one consbler the things that are contrary to the law of '.od, knowing that after life he must face th sentence. :Mepr:rt trom me ve cursed into everlasting damnation prepared for the devil and his angels?' " BASEBALL SERMON IS DELIVERED BY PASTOR W !.o-t Hall ami a Home ltun" I Suhjeet lsel hy Hrv. .1. A. (iru. "A Lo.-t L'.all and a Home-run" was the subject of Kev. J. A. drovesat the nf rente Memoiial church last evenini:. Two converts ami four accessions yesterday raised the total number for the revival to 17 converts and 41 accessions. "A ball lost on account of an error is the sadilest thim; in the baseball game and may cause the loss of the frame." said the evangelist. "And so the soul that is lost on account of an error in the jcanic of life is the most sorrowful incident in I elision. I'-ut also, as in baseball, an error may often he made notl by the help of another player. Never fail, therefore, to assist a fallen brother back t the rUht path. "The lost tall may be in the infield; in the home. M'hik'ren are lost to the home when they disregard their parents; when they are on the streets all the time except for meals and sleep. A -mother is lost to the home when -he "spends her time -at social meetings instead of at home with her children. A hither is lost t the home when he jives his time t business, to politics, and to lbs when he should be .vitli his fa... ly. When he is lost t the home, he is a dreadfully lost ball, for no Christian man could treat his family that way. Only the merciful (iol can save .such a lost ball. "If our child lias h.-t parental respect you must first as'. forgiveness tor yourself, because you were the lirst to sin in that j.anie when jnii failed to retain parental control over him. Then you must search f-r that lost ball, for he will never be hiouht hack by the natural i muse of events. The devil lias him, ami vou must take tie ball fluav from the demn." CHARACTER IS THING THAT IS WORTH WHILE "Men meet every obligation of human life without feeling, but when it comes t. religion, the greatest concern of the human soul. the put it off on the wishy-washy foundation of feeling." declared Kcv. Melvin C. Hunt f Trinity M. K. church last evening in speaking on "Character. ami Ho v It is Tried." Taking as his text the pliable f the two houses, one built upon the sand ami the other upon t r i r rook. on . pa n son ami It i'ii in haiac-ter-buihhim vva- given to the oversow congregation. He sahl in part: "Thc-e two men were neighbors and alik in many respects. Koth h id as a laudilde desire, a home of their own. one of the deepest hT.gihgs of the human heart. The one wh built on the sand son r.nishtd his dwelling. even before thv other was down t bed-rock. Pat every part f the house was te-ted bv the elements and the one that remained standing was the one with the tlrm foumtation. "The hiu-es in the parable represent character, whu h is of two types one sandy, which is built in haste ami carelessness; one rocky, whhh is put on a tirm and broad !'v.dathn. The important thing is how we meet the obligations of life. It chara ter tan be ruined, but not destroed it behooves us t put mo.-t f our time, ability ami power upon character and the things that build it. He who follows impulses and moods, who changes his religion with each morning paper, is preparing an cdhue that will nd with--taml even the lust breath f the outing storm that assails every man."

REPllSEjHfilST jPeople of Today, Like the I Ruler of the Jews. Seek to I Shirk Responsibility. "There is no Herod now", declared Kev. ;. A. Kobinson, last nitrht at the First hutc h of the Urethren. "I'ilate trie.! tt shift the responsihilitv on Heio.l. hut that you can not ijn. Fefore jam leave this house tonisrht vou must deal with Christ. The condition that confronted I'ilate confronts you toniirht. Vou would like t shirk perhaps but you must deal with the Son of Cod and dea'. tonight. "Io ci remember," continued the speaker, "the asony of Jesus In tli- j;arlen. His cruel capture and His trial, which all leal up to the luestioti 'What shall I do with Jesus that is called Christ? and the nioli answered 'crucify Him.' That question is up to each one of us. I'ilate wanted to be on the side of the majority. Many people today, 'with Christ or acainst Him. just as the nia.ssts run. Men tonight can lind no fault, hut unless you accept Jesus tonight you are finding1 fault. "Pilate was a moral coward, afraid of his convictions. Tlvat is why .vou do not accept Christ you are cowards. You are afraid of your companions, associates, afraid of the linger of scorn. People in this community have turned Christ over to the howling- mob of their passions. Many among- us have tried to wash their hands of blood of Jesus. Tonight I see Pilate in hell, wringing his hamls and crying 'I am innocent', hut all eternity will not remove the stain from Pilate's hands. "Two thousand years ago is too far away to t.tlk about but that same Christ is on your .hands tonight. All the a es have not erased Him. Are you afraid to own Hi.n. If you are ashamed of Him now lie will be ashamed of you in heaven. What will you do with Him? There arc only three things you can do. Vou can cast llim out entirely, eternally. Vou can postpone coming tt Him. Hat the most gracious, the most glorious thing is to accept Him. Vou give your heart to Jesus. Now is the opportunity of your life. Vou must he for or against Jesus. "Tonight. Jesus is on your hands. Fhit tomorrow you may he on the hands of Jesus. May you deal grently, honestly, truthfully with Jesus, that He may so deal with you." RESUR oil is SERMON SUBJECT :g ricTure oi unrisrs As ri f i i. cension Given Every Year by Nature. i nie gioues oi mo i esuirection j w hich (ld has prepared for His i faithful children were painted most .'vividly by Kev. Charles F. Watkins. ; special state evangelist for Indiana, i ii a masterful sermon las,t evening before the congregation of First I Faptist church. j Kev. Watkins selected as his topic. "The Resurrection: or what of the I. . . I..:- t t dead?" "The human interest doctrine of t.ie resurrection concerns us all," said Rev. Watkins. "Kveryonc of us has some personal interest in this doctrine. Some dear one has slipped off to the other side, leaving our 1 interests uickenel. Fvcry day finds us nearer the grave. Kvery' 12 months gives us a living picture of the i e.-'ii rection. In the autumn, the i leaves die away, signs of life and : v rgctation disappear, ami the shrill j winter winds shrieks wildly through j the trees. Then Cod sends the warm Jsun and rain. Immediately Clod calls lout a new order of things, hut this J new order is likenetl to the old ori der. The r-ectls spring up from the I earth, bringing new life, and the new j order. I "Fvery great doctrine in the Filde j may be referred t a thousand times. I Put we :ind somewhere a place i '.v here C.od has set it forth very careI fully for us." declared Rev. Watkins. Fe then describe'- the passion ( of Jesus n the cross. On the one sbh was an impenitent thief, on the (other a sinner who delivered himself i t Christ, begging for mercy. Christ repliel to the repenting thief "Verily, verily. I say unto thee, today you shall be with Me in Paratlise." 'When Jesus said Paradise, he meant exactly what he saii". declared the speaker. "because? lie didn't say heaven and because the way to heaven had not then been j opened. N'o one before" this had ever entere! heaven. The Paradise f. J'-vhieh Jesus referred was the wait1 in? place of the faithful, where they had been waiting since Adam's sin." The minister then pave three ver sions of heaven, the first heinpr that immediately .urroundinij the earth. I second, the .tars of the heaven be1 yo'.ul the earth and lastly, tho heaven w h-re clod reigns, j "The cross of Jesus stands at the '.ipe of the world's history." was the emphatic declaration of Rev. Watkins. "Abraham and Jacoh sawit anil were taved. When Jesus went to His death on the cross, all sin from the beginning of the world until the Saviour's death lay upon Iii- v'iouj.irus. Th same sacrifice tht ave u.s from :dn 5aved Abra-

Iham u.n4 Jacob."

Christ to Come W hen All Power to Save is Gone

"The world will stand until there aren't cnouch Kc-od people on the earth to save the remaining souls. When the saving power of the world is cone it will come to an end." stated Rev. J. s. Prundlge at the Indiana Avenue Christian hurch. His text was taken from the Acts of the postlcs, 1:11. "Since the ascension men have been waiting for the -second coming of Christ." began the speaker. "Christ himself promised a second coming and it is mentioned ju times in the writings of the apostles, so we may well believe and expect the end of the world. Christ will come as a thief in the night: it will he when we leat expect him and alter His coming will he all eternity. He came with a crown of thorns the first time, hut on His second comiiiK He will wear a crown of glory. "The world will stand until there aren't enough good people on the earth to save the remaining souls. When the saving- power of the world is gone it will come to an end. In the time of Xoah the world was extremely wicked and. there being little saving power, the Lord destroyed the people but not without due warning. There is still saving power on the earth now so the time of judgment may still he far away. However, all the prophecies have been f ultilleil and we can not be sure of when to expect the Fecond coining. Fet us heed the warning of Christ and take our part in the great plan of the conquest of the world." MUST BE IN TUNE WITH LIFE WE LIVE .Man in Order to Succeed Must Ik in Aci-oVtl With His labors. "The nature of man is such that he gives himself more f'.illy when in tune with the life he lives." said Rev. J. A. Ford, pa-tor of the River Park -M. F. church in his sermon Fritlay night. Rev. Jesse P. Rogue, who has been conducting services at the church left Friday morning with Mrs. Rogue for their home at Finden, Ind. "To be sueeessfud in material matters'," Rev. Lord continued. "we must be ever watchful of our powers that they may he in full ac;ord with the task we have to accomplish. "Surely no one who knows in his own, or in the experience of others, the varying conditions of hf-alth and disease can seriously fjuestion the stupendous importance of impaired bodily conditions as an obstacle of life's fullest and freest purposes. Disease of the body arrests the hand of material progress, hut how true also it is that the soul's diseases retards the inner life. It darkens lhc's prospects, gives to the mind a wrong direction and a morbid outlook, tills the spiritual life with spectres of evil, and accounts for the gloomy creels ami pessimistic views of life that are so widespread in the world around us. "No one who sees life steadily, and sees it whole, can fail to he convinced that spiritual weakness and pain are life's unmitigated foes. Fife made whole is the only kind of life which we should revere, and to which we should aspire; and if there is any way-in w hich life can he made whole, hodily as well as spiritually, that the rational mind will welcome with gratitude and enthusiasm." (CHRIST CARRIED OUT ALL HIS PROPOSALS I'nlike Men Who Say "I Will Do This or That. .Tc-ai Always Sueeocclecl. "The J Wills' of Chi ist" was the subject that Ilev. W. IF Freshley took for his sermon last niprht at the First Fv angelical church. "Fvcry day you hear men say 'I will do' this or that. How often do they fail, sometimes t hrouch'indifference. forpetf ulness or carelessness. We often say 'I will' in regard to a matter thnt we know we cannot accomplish because of our inability. Men have said 'I will do this or that and before the task had been linishe! death had taken them. You cannot always depend upon human beings, but you can upon the word of Christ. His 'I wills' re jrood for their face value. You can depend upon them. His 'I wills are, just a good as He is. for when Christ says 'I will" to men He will never recant. " 'He who w ill come to Me I w ill not c;vst out.'" was Christ's promise, quoted by Rev. Freshley. "To one who was really sorry for his sin. Christ has never said no. He does not want us to improve ourselves before we gi to Him. It is His wish that we tzo to Him as we are. A man who cosscs, drinks, gossips may stop one of these bal habits, but the heart is still filthy. He must stop all the leaks. The only way you can clean your heart is to come to Christ."

LUPE Church Members Arc Too In clined to Chase the Almighty Dollar. "There are some peplo within the church who are gradually slipping. The almighty lollar has too much claim on them. They are gradually drawing away. They have made a wrong choice in life and they a.e pursuing the material rather than the spiritual." said Rev. II. I,. Davis at the First M. K. church la.st evening. Rev. Davis took a.s his theme, "The Perils of a Wrong Choice." He pointed out hoV iot suffered punishment a.s the result of his choice Irom a material standpoint only and how in the end hi.s posterity suffered destruction. The modern man who is too interested in his material affairs was then set up as the example of the Fot of today. "Xo man has a right to make a choice on a material basis only. Material things are not the only ones to claim our interest. The kingdom of (Jod has a prior claim on all things of the material world, whether they be pleasure, wealth or business. These things are standing in man's vv.tv to merit the kirglom. Results Arc Certain. "The man of today who neglects his spiritual life will suffer the same as iiid Ijot. I e cannot di otherwise since he has made the wrong choice. The men of today are able to talk on business and hanking hut the cannot discuss the spiritual things. They have no time fur these. These men are not able to influence others. "How can men in this condition have any effect on the lives of their children? It is impossible a;-s they live for material things only. The p.ible, prayer, or belssing are never used. Cod's presence is not to be iouim in the home. Vou may be uro that Cod dwells in spiritual things only. Not .sailiiig ProHrty. "I am not assailing" property. It is lather the use to which we put it when we let it stand in the way of the kingdom of God," concluded the pastor. "The whole thinK is in the choice. We do not need to cast away the material things and God does not expect us to. He nas given them to us for our hendit. He desires us t seek His kingdom lirst and He will add these things latter. c may he sure that we will do better with Him than without. Christ had to work for His hread while on earth. Are we. His disciples, any better?" Rev. Davis is looking forward to Sunday as a great day in church work. Arrangements are being made for a very large attendance at all the services. The regular service on Sunday has been ehangel to lo o'clock. The revival will close on Sunday evening at 7::'0 o'clock. REDEMPTION IS NOT A MERE SENTIMENT I Kcal Tact and Touches t Only the Soul and Nature. Hut Our I todies. Another conversion last night marked the successful closing of the revival at the Mizpah Kvangelical church. The result of the meetings, according; to Pastor Daniel A. Kaley. has been four decisions ami :'.T consecrations. In making his last sermon of the revival Rev. Kaley spoke on redemption and the fellowship which should exist between people and Cod. "Christianity N pre-eminently thf religion of redemption." asserted the speaker. "Our redemption. consumatcd through the person, death, and reeurrection of our Ionl, Jesus Christ, is more than an ideal. It is a real experience, a real fact, and it reaches, touches, and effects not only the whole soul anl nature of men. but also their bodies. It is not a redemption by a code of laws or eithics. but by a person who died for us upon Calvary. Redemption is more than a mere sentiment, and it brings us into a close, real, living fellowship with "od and .Jc-iis Christ. "This fellowship is one of faith and is typified hy th fellowship which exists between a man and his wife united in the Ponds of holy love. It makes us obey Him and call upon Him as our benefactor and Father. This is a union into which we are called. It is not natural for man to have this fellowship with Cod hut we are calleil out of the darkness by the Holy Spirit to walk and talk with Cod. Rut first the believer who would have fellowship with God must make renunciation of his -sins, because darkness can have no fellowship with light and God walks always in the light." Rev. Kaley then spoke of the great necessity of faith anI the part which it plays in the redemption and he said that we walk with Christ through faith only. "Fellowship with the Lord always produces results for we hecome like those with whom we associate. It produces a soul cleanness such as you will not get any place else. It gives spiritual power, and ;is we compromise with sin we perilize our spiritual influence and weaker, our power in God." Noncr AT. W. of A.. Colfax Camp. .V,. regular meeting Monday nisht.

Never So Easy

"Perishable time anl imperishable responsibility" are the fundamental consi terations in the life of every man according tj lOvangc list IF I. Champion. Fsing the text "If you hear his voi.e. hanlen nt your heart" he firmly exhorted the congregation not to sacritice Cod for the d ?vil, heaven for hell, or eternity for time. "There is not a person in this congregation who has not he.ird the voice of God. He i speaking as directly and as clearly as ever before. 1 I tel. eve it is easier to become a Christian, but I am not so sure but what man can cross over the deadline in! be lost to salvati"n easier than ever before. Greater opportunity brings with it. greater responsibility. ' Fxplaining how God speaks to man. how his word is received, and the e:Tect of its rf-ception. the preacher depicted the career of the different types of men. pointing out bow - aluable and Meeting1 time is. and how insignificant as compared with eternity.

"Sot le people cannot see anything in the second coming of Christ because they huive not the knowledge of His lirst coming." was the declaration of Rev. C. L. Flliott, evangelist at the Kpworth M. K. church. Friday night in his sermon on the subject, "The Second Coming of 'hrist," which was taken from The Acts 'of t he Apostles. 1:11. "Jesus came to earth in the form of man and died on the cross for our sins, was buried and rose again into heaven and is to come again. We know He is to come auain because numerous passages in tlie Pi le tell us of His econd coming." The speaker then showed that the second coming of Christ was the hope or this world for at that time the resurrection will take place. "Today people are denying Cod and paying far too much attention to worldly things. This world is pleasure mad and is boastful of this fact. If you want anything in the world you have to buy it liecause we are as corrupt as the devil hinisdf. "The second coming of Christ will not be a process hut will he real ar d an ev ent, the result of which will he the resurrection of the dead. Men throughout the world ceny the resurrection but it is a promised fact and means the completion of the Christian's hope of redemption. "Men today think their powers of thought are superior to On ist and reason hs they like, consequently denying God and robbing' tho world of His vvoid.
