Rev. B. Fay Mills, the evangelist, had
another busy day yesterday. In the morn
ing. at 10 o'clock, he took charge of special
Thanksgiving service Mt the First Pre- sbyte-
rlan Church. After several hymns had been
sung he called for fve-second manifesto
tons Of thankfulness for special gifts and
blessings given by God. and quite number
responded to the invitation. He then read
portion of the fret chapter of ST. John.
In commenting on the verse read he said
that Johns testimony, behold the Lamb
OF God" led to train of circumstances In
which six disciples came to Christ. Ii the
work IN San francisco proved so successful
1t was because fathers and mothers were
interested enough to lead their children to
Christ. 1t was because some Philip was
hunting up some Nathaniel. He prayed
that the Spirit would come to every enc that
day with the impulse "Help me to touch
some soul that l may bring that soul to
Jesus Christ.
THE MIDDAY SERVICE.
At the midday service In the Y. NJ. C. A.
Hall. Mr.. Mills chose as his subject 1.-THE
Promise OF the Spirit" He spoke about
there being only one righteous way of 60
ing through life, and that was in allowing
ones self to be entirely guided by the Holy
Spirit. The 100 who were with their God
were IN sin were marching in the spirit OF
the Holy Ghost.
A large number responded to the invita-
ton to tell how they felt, and expressed
their intention to follow closely In the path
of righteousness.
In tie afternoon there was an immense
congregation at the First Presbyterian
Church. Mr.. Mills preached one of the
most powerful sermons of the series on the
text Lazarus Has Risen."
hmm
dreds were unable TO obtain seats, and at
the after-seryice all remained with the ex-
ception OF about dozen. Mr.. Mills
Ieesieq Rd iGr his text Thy Heart Is Not
briefly refer to the conditions bearing upon
heart made right before God Jesus was
another name for practical Righteousness,
and those who believed that believed also in
the character and the work of Christ. The
selfish heart was not right in the sight of
God.
UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.
There was no universal brotherhood I'M
less there was universal fatherhoOd. A
heart that was wrong in the sight of his
1eilow-men was not right in the sight of
God. LII man did not love his brother.
whom he had seen, how could he love God.
whom he had not seen? He believed that
bitterness OF heart was one of the greatest
obstacles in the way of mans salvation.
Neither proud, obstinate. self-willed heart,
the sight of God. He related how he
struggled with his little son to say please"
lie tried gentle means without success. and
then he tried Sterner measures, but he could
not break that little self-wlled spirit. At
last be succeeded, and the little fellow, after
seeing the error OF his ways. would hardly
stop saying please, please" 1t was the
last word he uttered before going to sleep
at night and the first word in the morning.
So it was with the proud, self-willed heart
OF man, but let the light of Gods truth get
into that mans heart and his joy would be
OVERLOOKING. An impenltent heart was not
right in the sight of God.
UNCoNCERNED ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS,
Nothing made man 'unconcerned about
righteousness but sin. Get rid OF sin and
the heart would soon turn TO God. Lastly,
there was the careless, thoughtless, pro-
crasiinatlng heart that was always saying
"Wait till tomorrow" There was once a
revival In n certain city. and Satan said to
his devils we must break it up. Two of
his satellites suggested certain WAYS but
the shrewdest devil of them all said Il will
tell them that it is all true, but that they
have plenty of time 10 decide the question:
they can wait" And Satan said to him,
Go" That was only fable, but IL Illus
trated the truth. He concluded by saying:
You have God on the one hand telling you
that now is the accepted time; now is the
day of salvation. and the devil on the other
hand telling you to wait till tomorrow.
Which will you listen to2 1t is for you to
decide now"
