cod" In beginning his address he said
that he stood before the congregation with
peculiar feelings. He had expected to pay
Texas a visit but he had looked forward
to meeting one who was very dear 20 him.
Yet when the news of his fathers sudden
death was brought TO him he sent word to
the members of the Cumberland church
here that he would Ill their pulpit on this
occasion
Mr.. Hslsell stated that he did this be
cause of the grent interest and natural

THE SINNER, MAN, WOULD HAVE
DIED

When man sinned he should have died
but through the messureless love OF GOD
Jesus was sent to work out his redemption.
Mr. Halsell said that the love of the d.
vine Father for His children was most
oxempllhed In this. that He sent His only
Son to save a world lost in sin, which
turned away His messengers with scorn
and rcvillng. For the sin of an ungrateful
people Jesus suffered the agonies OF the
cross, and the Savior. as He hung expiring
on the tree. breathed the spirit OF COD S
lcve. Thus 1t is through mans redemp'
ton that the wonderful love of God IS
made plain.
Mr.. Hasell said that we could hardly
nave expected God TO take us back into
full sonshtp again, bus that is just what
He has done. aud taking the parable or
the Prodigal Son he illustrated the willing
forgiveness OF the Heavenly Father. GOD
took us back not as hhed servants but as
sons and heirs Of the Kingdom OF Heaven.
/ Thank God" he said earnestly, that the
Father docs not take us back as adopted
sons / am not an adopted son IN the
kingdom of my Father. | thank tod that
we are sons OF God brothers OF Jesus
Christ and Joint heir with Jesus Christ
Continuing Mr. Hallsel spoke OF the
wealth and splendors 81 the future worid,
contrasting them with the poverty, the
pain and distress of our present lot. we
suffer SO much now that we can scarcely
think what we shall he, but when CHRIST
comes we shall be Ike him All NJ US
sh,.n have the image of His blessed sou
upon us.

HE MARVELED GREATLY
KANsAN VISITS HOUSTON AFTER AN
ABSENCE OF EIGHT YEARS.
Was Amazed at the Development and
Enthusiastic Over the Future Posi-
bilites OF the City.

Mr. George f. sharitt, clerk OF the United
States circuit court at Topeka, Kan. who
has been staying at Mr.. w. Jack Bryan's
for several days, left last night on the
Santa Fc for home.
Mr. sharitt Is enthusiastic over Houston
and South Texas, and In conversation with
a reporter Just before starting for the
train, said; II made a trip through this
section ON a special car with my family
and a few others eight years ago. we
remained here a couple Of days and saw
something OF Houston; every one thought
IL a very nice town. just about what we
expected TO see from what we had heard
of IT, no more or less, and Of course we
all liked the country the train passed
through and what we saw from the win
dows II the sleeper.
That there was a grand future for this
city and section any observer of cause and
effect could and can easily see: so, when
my only son finished college and served his
apprenticeship in one of our largest busi-
ness houses, my mind turned at once to
this place, of all others in the country. as
having the largest possibilities and being
the best for any one to commence bust
ness in: so / came down with him to look
over the ground and situation and start
hin. aud that's what brought me here.
"0f course | know that Houston and
the surrounding country had improved in
eight years, but, really, l can not prop
erly express my surprise at the wonderful
improvement that has been made aud that
is now going on, and ] do wish that my

read a few copies of The Post. and did
