WHO IS A WICKED MAN /?
Mr.. Mills Says ALI NOn-Chris
tians Are Wicked.
Fe atures of the Meeting Held Last
Night.
A Large Audience-Mr. Mills Address
The Mon Who Are Wicked-A
Number Who Confess
Christ.

There were fully $500 people at the
Mills meeting last night, and the same
deep interest was manifested as in the
previous meetings.
Mr.. Greenwood sang several solos and
then Mr.. Mills made one of his charac
teristic addresses. He told number o1
stories of conversion and then said:
Who is a wicked man? The term
applies to all who are not good, grand,
noble, Christian men. / would not ask
sinners to forsake their ways if Chris
tians were not ready to have all sin cast
out of their hearts. There are no happy
backsliders; they have left the house OF
God, and fill themselves with husks like
the swine. want to talk to moralists.
l have no sneer to make against the
moralist; believe that good morals are
next to righteousness, but the moral
man is not always righteous man. He
may live an upright life, but he is still o
wicked man. He is not living up to
what he ought to be. He does not fol-
low his convictions, and he is wicked
man because he is not member of the
church of Christ.
The moral man knows he is wrong. Ii
he declared for Christ he knows his
wife or children would follow him, for
there is no man without influence for
good if he will only exert it, and the
moral man should be righteous man.
Jesus Christ came into the world and
died and rose again in order that he
might be made righteous.
A self righteous man is one who tells
how good he is and keeps all his right
eousness to himself.
1t is terrible thing to criticise a
church member. consider that high
stand, but some men want God to judge
them by higher standard. If a man
criticise the church of Jesus Christ he
might just as we'll criticise his mother
The man who does 80 is what Christ
said, he is whited sepulchre-a beau
tiful tomb, but full of fostering bones
There is no use in saying peace, peace
there is no peace until you get rid oi
your sin.
Woe to the man who is sinner who
is not concerned about his sin. When
man is out in winter cold, and pres
emily he does not feel pain from the
winter blasts do you know what tina,
means? Death! Get out and exercise
bring back the circulation, feel the pain
again, and get rid of it before you die
The only way to get rid of sin is to stor
SHINING. Nothing will help you give up
sin. Let the wicked foysske his way
One of the most delightful ways with
some people to forsake sin is to forsake
other peoples sins. 1t is not hard for 6
one-legged man to give up dancing. We
want to get rid of our sins. Many peo
pie call on God when in trouble and per
plexity, but when they have passed
there are no more appeals to God.
He that covereth his sin shall no
prosper, but he that forsaketh his sir
shall have mercy. Wonderful mystery
| of love! Miraculous alchemy of love
Though your sins be as scarlet, He viii
make you whittier than snow. Brins
your sins tonight, my friends, and lay
them on Gods altar, and they will MOI
be remembered against you, praise God
Who is willing to say tonight, want
God to give me clean heart? No mat
ter what your past life has been, just
come to Christ. Will you please rist
up?
While the choir softly sang Sweet
Hour OF Prayer, at least 100 persons, o.
both sexes, rose to their feet and con-
fessed Christ. After the singing of q
hymn part of the congregation retired
and an experience meeting was held, the
converts participating.
