large congregation at the First Baptist
church last night.
The speaker, who is tall, slender man,
talks like he felt the real meaning Of
every word he utters-in fact he con-
vinces his hearers that his heart and
hands both have hold of the work His
language is plain and practical as we'll as
beautiful, and his enunciation is plain
and pleasant.
The meeting opened at 80 last night
with the regular half hour prayer service,
after which Mr. White arose and read
the sixth chapter of Revelation, begin
ming at the eighth verse. After the read
ing and singing he prayed most earnestly
in behalf Of the meeting He then said:
What can we do without the spirit But
God has promised to give it to us and we
want it to night. You will find my text
in Hebrews, 9th chapter and 9th verse
"And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the Judgment"
Among all the uncertainties Of life
there is one thing certain-a fixed fact
that is, We must die. We need not stop
to discuss this question with infidels for
everything points this question to us
plainly.
If there is a man here who don't be-
lieye in the word of God I'm not preach
ing to him. | know and try to preach
nothing but Gods word. God says that
it is appointed unto every man to die,
and after that, judgment All must ap-
deeds done, whether good or bad. We
must all, too, answer to our name. In
courts there is great interest felt when a
man is being tried for his life-that is an
important hour. Well, there is life now
that is offered and il should be Of pecu-
liar interest to you. If people knew the
day they were going to die probably
they might make some preparation. But
| consider it more important to make
that preparation when We know we
must die and know not the hour thereof.
Like a giddy excursion party we are 60
ing through this world. 1t seems to me
that we ought to stop one hour TO night
and consider this all important question
of saving our souls. Judgment day is
going to be grand day, I have read to
you about it. In Peter we read that it
shall came as thief at night. 1t will be
a grand sight because of the great gath
ering. Oh, what mind can grasp it.
Some Of you older brethren were in the
,te war and marched on the battle field
where there was great throng of people,
but imagine ali the people now living in
the State, United States--the world
those who have lived in the past. These
will al stand before God. That will be
a great crowd Oh the last day. We read
in the scriptures that Christ will be the
great i,;tge on shat day. 1t is that Christ
whom We preach to you-whom you will
either receive or reject tonight. His de-
cisions are fair, impartial and infallable.
There will be no way to escape from the
presence of the Great God What God
says must be done. His judgment will
be unerring. The saved and unsaved
will.be present at the judgment, but l
Christians on that day-there will be no
crime to stare you in the face-fOr Christ
has already forgiven you. The blood Of
Jesus has washed away your sins and
/ 40 t.
day of JOY to Christians.
We go about saying that things are
mysterious-call the Bible a mystery.
Gods word is mystery. No man has
yet understood it thoroughly. God, how
ever, will reveal his word on the last
day | thank God for the judgment day
when a full explanation of the mysteri-
Gus word will be made Ii will be a
fearful day for the ungodly. If had a
| large black board here tonight and
could write history of your life il let
ters to this congregation would you like
to see it? Methinks not. Well, God
will unfold all these things on the last
day.
Ye people who think of patronizing
the low and degrading thing which is 10
appear at the opera house here to-mor-
row night, where will We be? Such evils
ought not to be tolerated. | fear it will
keep some of you away from this prayer
meeting.
There may be some gamblers in Win
ston. I expect there are. They are
| generally TO be found in every town
The poor gambler who shuffled his first
card in the parlor in the presence OF
some ladies is to be pitied.
Oh, ye moral people, reject not Jesus.
Read Matthew XIV, As, where 1t says:
depart frcm me, We cursed, into the
eternal fire which is prepared for tie
ideYil and his angels" Think OF that
