Evangelist Walk Still Continues the Revival
Services
The services at the Church OF Christ
on East Eighth street, near Central ave-
nue., were of special interest yesterday
morning. The attendance was large, a
number of eastern tourists being pres
ent. David Walk, who has for several
week been conducting evangelistic SER
vices, signified his acceptance of the call
of the church to become its minister.
He read Romans XIV, 29, and said. in
part:
This is the language Of faith. An
earnest faith is the motive power of the
Christian. The world has never seen a
more illustrious example of faith than
the Apostle Paul. Let us make prac-
tical application of this lesson. First
L come to you in faith Second-I want
you to have faith in my coming These
postulates being accepted, we shall cer-
tainly enjoy the fullness of the blessing
of Christ We may expect the church
TO be edited, which means building it
up from within, the true development
of it's spiritual life. We may expect
large accessions to the church. This fol-
lows. as an effect It's cause"
AT the close of the sermon a number
of persons were received into the fell
lowship of the church, more than doub-
ling its membership since the special la
bors of Mr.. Walk began. The meetings
will be continued every evening during
the week except Saturday.

faculties. It Is worthy Of reflection that
sick persons that are not about to die
or that are not at deaths door, do not
see their departed friends coming for
them. The author of Hebrews claims
that Christ came to deliver them, who
through fear of death, were all their
lifetime subject. to bondage. A fear
of death is a great evil. Persons that
fear death all through life have no fear
of death when 1t comes to them. Those
who are rescued from drowning, or
from death by cold, assure us that death
is pleasant. The only thing to be dread
ed in death Is the remembrance Of sins
and crimes. Conscience asserts Itself
and condemns the dying sinner for his
wrongdoing, but not for his beliefs or
disbeliefs. 1.-The sting Of death is sin,"
according to Paul. Tne dying feel that
their works and not their speculations
or creeds, follow them. A good con-
science makes death calm and delight
full. The man who keeps Christ's word
and follows in his steps has nothing to
fear at death. Death has been repre-
sented as the greatest evil and the
blackest enemy of the human race.
When 1t comes in the regular course of
nature it Is a white angel of mercy,
a kindly deliverance from pain and mis-
cry, an open door into the sleeping
room Of the universe, a profound rest
before the awakening into the fuller life
We exchange our frail and sickly bod
les for the beautiful spiritual FORMS
We receive the glad welcomes of dear
friends. We enter the eternal man
sions. We see face to face and know
as We are known. We enter into the
world Of spiritual friendships. Doubts
and fears cannot follow us. Love is the
sun of that immortal land. We enter the
possessions which were prepared for
us before the foundation of the world.
These are the joys before us. So death
is not to be dreaded, when it comes at
the end of a Christian life.

AT SIMPSON TABERNACLE
Evangelist VarIey breaches on Salvation by
Grace

A large and interested audience was
present in Simpson Tabernacle Sunday
morning to listen to Rev. Henry VAR
ley preach. He chose for his theme,
"Salvation is by Grace" using as a
text, "Other foundation than this hath
no man laid"
THE theory that we may gradually
become saved by good works is false.
Directly man is a sinner he naturally
oontemns himself
IF salvation was not purely of grace
how could the thief on the cross have
been saved? Through grace Jesus
Christ said unto the man: This day
shalt thou be with me in paradise BY
this salvation, by grace, Jesus saved
Paul on his way to Damascus. and he
became the great apostle to the Gen
tiles, and he was able to say by the
grace of God: i am what am
Il may draw comparison between
the saved thief on the cross-in heaven
today-and the great apostle to the
Genties, who is doubtless, by his great
service to God, millionaire in heaven,
man. Let me call your attention to the
fact that the rewards of service are
clearly defined.
But let me first say that salvation is
by Jesus Christ. the lamb slain from
the foundation of the world. The sal
walton of man was not an afterthought
of the Almighty, but was in his mind
from the beginning. Conversion does
not save man; it is only the beginning
This may be bartered away for a mere
mess of pottage. Let me implore you to
allow nothing to come between you and
the saving of your soul. If thy right
eye or thy right hand offend thee cast
them off. / can understand missing
rewards, but 1 cannot understand the
missing of the Lord Jesus Christ, or
failing in the salvation of your soul
Let me call your attention to the first
reward mentioned: Blessed is the man
who endureth temptation, for he shall
receive crown of life.' If you receive
salvation in this house today your con-
denmation is gone, the sins of your pas t
life are blotted out and you become the
son of God. Man of forty, how can you
trihe with the question of laying up
treasures in heaven? You must in
herit eternal life in blessed or a con-
demned state. My brother, I implore
you by all the inspiration given you by
the glorious sunlight, the beautiful flow
ers of this golden climate, to not for
get this great salvation and the glorious
reward of eternal life.

Lecture to ren
A sturdy specimen of robust man.
hood, of well preserved vigor. and of
magnetic personality, is Henry Varley,
the English evangelist, whose meetings
in this city have for some weeks been at
tracing much attention. 1t is from
the force of his natural attributes as
we'll as from the truth that is in him
that Mr.. Varley invariably seems to gain
the close and earnest attention of his
male audiences.
Yesterday afternoon very large
gathering filled the auditorium of Simp-
son Tabernacle to listen to a straight
forward talk to men from Mr.. Varley.
He hit from the shoulder, and called a
spade spade, but nevertheless avoided
all suspicion of unchaste suggestions.
Mr.. Varley. among other subjects,
took occasion to denounce in vehement
terms the fearful frequency OF abor-
tion in this country. The murder of in
cipient life was not only CHASTITY crime,
but a menace to the health of the ma
ticn." He referred to the effects of the
policy Of the French people. AT the
beginning of this century the Anglo
Saxon race numbered 10000 .000 the
French 32,0O0,000 Today the former has
increased to 76,o00.00O and the latter is
but sc, 900. He declared such prac-
tice was an incubus on the life of this
great community, and warned his hear
ers that no nation could with impunity
traffic in system that must undermine
it's raw material. From such practices
the Latin races could trace their degen-
Grafton.
Cursorily he referred to the magnifi-
cent prospect which the alliance of two
such nations as the United States and
Gneat Britain might open. IF Eng
land, Germany and the United States
We're one, said Mr.. Varley, I'VE would
dominate the world, and say to Europe

with rapt attention, was given under the
