WHITE TALKS 1T OUT
Report Of Rev. Whites Sermon at
Winston.
He Talks Much Stuff in General
Way.
THE DURHAM PREACHER IS IN 1T
Inc Kew. Mr.. White Has Captured the
People of Winston, and Talks Much
Good Sense.

meeting at the First Baptist church con-
tinues to prove blessing to many. Last
night Mr.. White preached another strong
and pathetic sermon, and the result Of
the service was that several professed
faith in Christ and asked for the prayers
of the church.
Mr.. White chose the words of his text
from Acts Xxx, 81: "Testifying both to
the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repen-
tance toward God, and faith toward our
Lord Jesus Christ" He said: Repen
taEce and faith are old themes, but they
are always new. John the Baptist,
Christ and many others preached repen-
tance. Read I'd Timothy, ii, 25, 26, and
Acts v, "a. Repentance as grace is the
gift Of God. In the fifty-fifth chapter of
Isaiah and seventh verse we find these
words: Let the wicked forsake his way,
| and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
and lei him return unto the Lord, and
he will have mercy upon him; and to our
God, for he will abundantly pardon"
Turning from our ways and thoughts
unto Gods way and thoughts is repent
ance. This of course signifies that am
sinner in the eyes of the great God. 1t
is not enough to say that | am a sinner.
You cannot blame poor Adam or Eve,
you alone are responsible for your sins.
You ought to remember how kind God
has been to you in your business transac-
tions and everything. If there is crime
that is heinous it is to fail to believe in
Jesus Christ 1t is the one great sin that
will damn you. 1t is not enough for you
to come in here and pray the Lord to
make you better and then go out and
drink and curse. You must forsake your
sins and find God. If you want to be
saved you must remove that timidity,
stand up and ask the prayers Of Gods
people. Repentance is turning away
| from your sins to God. If man was TO
sit on the brink of hell close enough to
smell the birthstone and then only say
I'm afraid of it, that would make no diff
! ference Or aid in saving that man. That
is not repentance. Some people think God
must come along and strike them as he
did Peter at Damascus. That time is past
We must take repentance as we can get
it. Repentance is not sorrow. l never
saw man get Hrunk yet who was not
sorry for it afterward.
! Conviction is not repentance either.
That conviction which reveals to you
your sins is good SO far as it goes, but
unless you accept Christ it availeth
nothing for you. Repentance in full is
the leaving off, forsaking of every Gin.
| When God bews he hews to the line.
| When be cuts a tree down it falls where
it may.
The trouble with many a man is that
he is holding Oh 10 some pet sin. The
right kind Of a determination for you to
make is that sink or swim, live or die, l
will turn unto God When a man els
willing TO give up all he has; when he
says God save Or | perish, that man is
saved. Friends, leave your sins behind,
bat don't stop until you have been
blessed.
VIII you listen to me for just two
minutes: l want to talk plain, practi-
Cal truths to you tonight. Have you
resolved by the help of God TO give up
all your sins and 60 to Christ? The mis-
take you have made is that you stopped
before you got to Jesus. Start again tC-
night. The bc s. thirg G you can d ), young
man, is to burn up those cards in your
pocket, the books Of infdelity you have
been reading, turn your backs on the
dance and stop visiting the houses of i'm
morality at the midnight hour. What
you want to do is to ask God to show
you the way. Some people want for
giveness, but they are not willing to for
give. If you have an enmity against
any one you must have that removed
before God will accept you. Some way
or some how we must confess Jesus pub
licly. Young man, you have got an in
f1uence over some one Mother, father,
confess Christ anew. 1t may have its
effect upon your children.
My message to you has now been de-
livered. Religion is a sensible thing.
What are you going to do with it to-
night: Every one in this house who is
willing TO say, Il will accept Jesus" /
want them to come forward and give me
their hand. Don't wait for feeling but
come with determined mind and God 5
word for 1t, you shall be saved.
