DR.. LOCKE SPEAKS OF

Central Methodist Episcopal Church
Thronged-Preparing for Two
Weeks Revival Meeting.

Central Methodist Episcopal Church
Mission street, near Sixth, was thonged
last night. Every seat was filled and
the stairways leading to the gallery were
used as points of vantage by late Corners
DR.. Locke's subject was THE Refuge OF
Lies" his text being taken from Isaiah
28:xvii: God shall sweep away the
refuge of lies" The large audience lis
tened with closest attention. Revival
two weeks. Services have been arranged
for each afternoon and evening. DR.
Locke said in part:
God never asks any unnecessary questions.
He came to Elijah with the question:
What dost thou here?' To Saul. Why
est thou me?" When Adam sinned God
came to him in the Garden of Eden with the
words, Where art thou?' And so does
our heavenly Father approach all people
who are not serving him. Many are the
hiding places behind which the sinful man
hopes to find refuge. Concerning these
hiding places my text says they are refugees
of lies and shall be swept swept away: ..o,,
many are endeavoring to shield themselves
in the refuge of worldly gain. For fame
and fortune they are selling their birth
right, There is not karat OF gold in
heaven.
There is the refuge of dissipation; Alas!
how many slaves there to habit and
appetite. Berry. the English hangman,
says of 500 persons he has executed:
II never hanged teetotaler.' What pages
of blood are being written in these hurry
ing days.
There is also the refuge of unbelief.
Many there are who are seeking shelter be-
hind this place of lies, which will also be
swept away when the great Judge asks
for account of our stewardship. Spen-
Ger says there is no moral power in sci
ence; Huxley recommended that the Bible
be read in the schools, and Emerson urged
continuation of prayers at Harvard. THE
fool hath said in his heart there is no
God.' Those who deny God deny the very
instincts OF their nature: Private Dalzeli,
very eccentric but perfectly reliable citi-
zen Of Caldwell, Ohio. says that Robert G..
Ingersoll once remarked in his presence re-
ferring to the lectures Ingersol was deiv
ering against Christianity: Il have made
more money out of my damned folly than
When many people hurry to find perfection
from a belief in God behind the evanescent
and dishonest arguments of 1ngersoll. 1t
will be we'll for them to remember that he
once termed his efforts against Christianity
as damned folly"
