His last two points were powers Of

both of which were dealt with in his

As on the previous nights, many
responded to his proposition, and it is
expected there will be a great gather

churches at the close OF tho meeting.
THE MORNING SER WOE.
The song service WAS a pleasir fea-
ture of the morning service, being es-
peoially full ami varied, ana closing
with the solo, Unanswered, feel
ingly sung by Nv seagle, whose
voice seemed peculiarly suited to the
beautiful words and music.
Mr.. Jones made no preliminary re-
marks and INDUCED in no pleasing fe-
licitations Of his audience this MOI n
ing but plunged at once into the body
of his sermon, announcing his text
from James ", 1920: Brethren, if
any of you do err from the truth and
one convert him, let him know, that
he which converteth the sinner from
the error of his ways shall save soul
from death and shall hide multitude
Of sins"
He said in substance that the church
had double work in the world. 1. to
get sinner converted, and then to
keep him converted. There is the
preacher who has studied theology and
deals with the world that way, and

the latter class. The most the preach.
ors can do today is to pitch in ami ev-
erlsstingly worry the people into the

, fools today, in fact there are more
Of this class than any other kind, and
they have to be dealt with as such.
He then referred 10 some Bible facts
in interine his text, making it more
impressive.

find, is to put a yoke on us. Note the
difference between the yoked and the

converted. He then asked the
preachers, If it had been their expert
ence that every one converted in the
town had staid so. 1t has been prov
on easier to get them converted than
to keep them so. DO. Moody's con-

stick? Did Pentecost's converts
stick? The church leaves too much

the mothers and fathers.
