AN INTRUDER IN HELL.
yrv4s MADE FOR THE DEVIL AND
ms ANGELS And NOT ron MAN.
Mr.. James r.. schooifeld Preaching s"''h-
tion Through the Blood OF Shiis'"
Large Crowds at Trinity Church.

ncr OF twentieth and Broad streets Is
having such an awakening as It has
not experienced for a long time. Its seats
and altar arc being crowded twice a
dav under the influence Of meetings
conducted by MIR. James L. Scheduled a
citizen Of Danville.
Mr.. Scheduled is not preacher out
he is recognized as a power for good by
the Virginia Methodist Conference, and
he breaches az few preachers can.
He IS known as the Layman Evange-
list. and as such spends much of MS
time I'm revival meetings wherever 'heie
seems a need Of his services.
lie Is such a looking man as you wouid
find In business circles most anywhere
and might be taken for a merchant or
contractor. lie is "A good business man
ana stands as such IN Danvllc, where
he lives. , 90
He affects no preacher airs and ap-
parcntlv has none OF the dfamauc OF
sensational i'm his nature, nor does ne
resort 10 any Of the methods that chaiac-
rcrize 50 many cyanGelisis.
He is natural. simple, ana earnest.
no could hardly be called eloquent, and
vel last evening when Trinity was
filled from pulpit TO organ loft, ne heid
the tubroken attention of the large au-
dience for an hour.
Al Lynchburg. and at Norfolk. he has
inst done "A grand work m the churches
and is now arousing an unusual interest
here.
lie is tall. has a pleasant face and
Is very impressive in manner
lie has long arms and fingers ana
with them enforces q truth with gestures
10 a.
bic. and speaks with a conviction that
IS wclinish irresistible.
Come Unto Me.
LAST evening he took as his text the
hrs words. Come Unto Me- His
treatment of them was cmbcllished by
plain. but appropriate. illustrations rath-
.r than incidents. His power Is in his
oarnestness and his familiarity with the
HOLY Scriptures. along with gift OF
applying them effectively TO his sub
ject
He speaks measuredly. but not slowly.
and cnforces each fact stated with
Bible quotation. and therefore his ser
mons TO be appreciated, VIII nave 10
be heard. and can hardly be reported
conncctediy.
Ills sentences are short and strong. For
instance in opening he said: Jesus Christ
- the central figure Of the world. The
,,.e,inv of every man is linked with the
cross of calvary 10 is not creed or the
oloev that this world IS furnishing for to-
CAV. The great need Of the world is Jesus
Christ. Heart religion is what we need.
We can only get it by coming to the Lord
jesus Christ.
Coming TO Christ predsposcs three
things-a desire 10 come. an eHoIt TO
come. and a turning away from sim
as
with the promises OF God and the penal |
ties OF sin. and under such treatment they
were given indcscribablc force.
lie also impresses forcibly the truths |
he presents through questions, answering |
them with Scripture. For instance. he |
asked: MAY | come and said: Il VIII |
give four answers-two from God the |
Father. one from God the Son. and one
from God the Holy Ghost Then quoted
AS live. saith the Lord God, / have no
pleasure in the death Of the wicked but
hat the wicked turn from his way and
i've Then, again: lilo, every one that
come etc
Then. answering through Christ quoted
from John xxxvn. S: IF any man thirst
let him come unto me and drink" etc.
Then. from the Holy Ghost. Rev. xxi.
II. and the Spirit and the Bride say,
'ome. etc.
Enforced the Truth.
BY this means the layman evangelist
nforced the truth and step by step I'M
olded the plan of salvation until the end
1 his discourse, when, in the same way,
C answered the questions, How shall
ONE? When shall I come? and issued an
lvitatiOn TO penitcnts.
MANY Of his answers are interesting.
Ie asked. What is repentance? Answer:
To say TO God, | have slnned against
zee. and am sorry. and, 10y God help.
i'll do so no more? 1t means more than
nat. Go to the man you have wfonged
nd do your level best To right what you
ave done If IL sends YOU 10 the poor
ouse. DO that, and you are ON rock
ottom."
His own sentences do not lack weight
aid he: III God knew there was a soul
, hell who had not had chance TO be
aved he would wreck the whole world
ut that he gave him "a chance
"Why. some say, DO we not 80 10

I'LL "A Reality.
Mr.. Scheduled breaches strongly that
here Is he'll and punishment for the
licked In hell.
lie does not try to be scary or threat
ming. but he breaches It from the Scrip
ures. and cheers the theme with the sal
alton extended through the Lord Jesus
'hfist.
said he: "The soul Of the wicked, even,
, an Intruder I'm hell through all the
vcle OF time Hell was made for the
evil and his angels. Heaven is place
rapared for man. and you may prepare
onrself 10 20 there through the blood of
he Lord Jesus Christ"
AT the close of the sermon a number
Z persons came forward and knelt at
he altar.
After the regular services there was an
Interesting after-meeting, TO which only
hose who felt an interest in their souls
aviation and desired TO have the prayers
Z the church were invited.
Mr. Scheduled will hold services every
corning At n O'Clock and every evening
