Large Congregation Hears Revivalist
at the First Methodist Church.
Separate Meetings for Men
and Women Sunday.

The revival services conducted by the
Rev. Dr. L. w. Munhall, assisted by the
local preachers, at the First Methodist
church, are daily increasing in interest.
Fully $500 people were in attendance last
night. DIR. Munhall delivered one Of the
most eloquent and logical sermons OF the
meetings. and many accepted the invita-
ton of the preacher to turn from errors
of their way and seek Christ while yet he
may be found.
The text was from Corinthians b:2-"For
we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ, that everyone may re-
ceive the things in his body according to
the things which he hath done. whether
it be good or bad
Things are not going right IN this
world" said DR.. Munhall. There are
many crooked places that should be
made straight, and many rough places
that should be made smooth. There are
aching hearts and hearts that are break
ing in Birmingham tonight all on account
of sin.
Worst Suffer Least.
'There are those who will tell you that
all the hell a man suffers, he suffers here
On earth in his conscience. II that Is true,
the man most deserving of hell suffers the
least, for his conscience is so scared that
no sin or crime ever causes him any
worry, and the man least deserving Of
hell suffers the most, because his con-
science suffers the most for any wrong
doing
'There is absolutely no escape from the
judgment of Christ. A man may commit
a murder, and the evidence against him
may not be sufficient to convict him, or
witnesses may be procured who would
swear falsely for him, or the jury may be
biased in their opinion, or the judge may
put such a construction on the law that
it would be impossible to convict him. but
in the 81 eat final judgment there will be
no false Witnesses there will be no
biased juries, and there will be no wrong
construction of the law. For the all-see-
ing eye of God sees everything and
every secret thought and action of our
lives Is written in the book OF His remem-

Doctrine of universalism.
DIR. Munhall briefly discussed the doc
trines of Universalism. He stated that
| everyone believed in heaven, but there
were some who were continually trying
to explain away the idea of hell He said
he could not understand why it was If a
man was firmly convinced that there was
no such thing as hell that they would
be always trying to do away with it.
1.-THE fact is" he continued there is a
doubt in their minds about this matter,
and that is the reason they discuss it with
you at every opportunity
The preacher eloquently described the
last Judgment stating that all the world S
greatest poets, scientists, philosophers,
and soldiers would be there to give an
account of things committed in the flesh.
"Will you be of those" he said, Ito
whom He will say, Come, We blessed,
enter into the joys prepared for you from
the foundation of the world or of those
to whom He will say. Depart ye' cursed
into everlasting FIRE, prepared for the
devil and his angels. y
