ance this afternoon at the meeting OF
the Crittenton evangelists at the Au-
ditorium. The blizzard seemed to have
passed unnoticed by those in attend
ance, and nearly every seat was occu-
pied. Mr. Crittenton spoke to the young
people and was listened to with the
deepest interest. His text was Eccle-
siastics, 121: Remember now thy Gre

Der of Christians were converted in
youth. The chances of conversion in
old age are relatively very small
In the evening the Auditorium was

and bitter wind. Mr. Crittenton read
from the sermon on the Mount COM

Crittenton talks to his hearers instead
or at them, and his words go straight
from his heart to theirs. His earnest
ness is something remarkable and
greatly increases the effect of his SER

come Christians.
After Mr.. Wallace sang Where Will
You Spend Eternity?" Mr. Crittenton
delivered the sermon from the text.
Mattnew o:S3; Seek We first the King

all these things shall be added unto"
Some people, he said sought ,Jesus In
lis Gay Tor everything but the right
thing, and so IL is to-day. Seek Christ
Tor the right thing and you will get
something worth more than all that IS
IN butte. Men seek everything else |

have settled other things. Christ said |
TO those following: What seek ye?' |
W nat are you seeking at this meeting.
to-nlghtE Is 1t the Lord, Jesus or is AZ /
something else? Is there any power
that will reach down and lift mon and |
women from degradation. but the now
er or Jesus? He has reached down into
the siums and lifted men out for hon
orable lives. The speaker told OF sev-
erai very striking instances I'm his own
experience. Many people wonder why /
they don't get along better. whv they
don't make money faster. I wonder
that God let's us get together so much
as lie does, when we will not do as He
tells us and seek the Kingdom of God
nrst. But what heaven il would make
on earth II all men would do as God en-
treats them to do. And now. II Gods
children would suffer for the things of
TINS world the cattle on a thousand hills
are HIS, not mems, and He will do as
He chooses with them
