MANY CONVERSIONS.
Adams Street Church Has a Big Re-
 vival in Progress.

Sunday was a day of good things at the Adams Street Baptist Church. About twenty persons professed faith in Christ. Rev. MT. Wicker spoke three times.
 Yesterday morning the Ministers Union met with the church in the 10 o'clock service. The evangelist spoke on the Life of Paul." -...----.
 Last night the theme was, 'The Wrath of Love-" the text being, Revelations vi, Is, 'arhe Wrath of the Lamb." MT. Wicker said in part:
 Revelation issa book of things yet to come. It deals with Gods final acts in His relation to man. It tells what will happen after this world has passed away. The picture given by this chapter Is an awful one. The lamb stands for all that is tender. kind. loving. pure and submis- sive. The lamb was the victim offered upon the altar in Old Testament days. Gods Lamb. that taketh away the sin of the world
 This Lamb is not the Creator, Pre- server, or Judge, but the atonement for sin that the Judge of all the earth may be able to do right. The Lamb Is God taking my sin in body prepared by Himself and bearing them in Himself on the tree. Think then of the love of the Lamb. He was in majesty co-equal with
 
 eternity. From Lord of the Heavens. he becomes the servant of the earth. From the throne of the Judge he becomes the victom of Calvary. He was the victim of His own love. He was not killed by man. His own hearts love dealt the fatal blow. No man took His life from Him. He laid it down of Himself. Cal vary was no tragedy but the end of in- finite love expressed by the mind of om- niscience.
 Consider his wrath. It is not of God, but the Lamb. It Is the atonement cry ing out against men who have rejected Christ. God has no right to be angry with me because I was conceived in sin. I cannot help having a sinful nature and the Almighty cannot condemn me for this Because of my sinful nature I am often overcome by its power and God cannot, and does not blame me for this. but He can, ought and does condemn men for refusing deliverance.
 Love has provided the means of es- cape. The Lamb says, I am the way If criminal refuses pardon he is without excuse for his bondage. Men compel Christ's wrath.
 "When the two sons of the elder Brutus entered into a conspiracy against the State, they expected the father to ex- ercise his power and extend clemency to tHeui, put lnSteaQ ne COInneHueu tHe sentence. The love of the father was lost in the justice of the judge. The day of wrath is sure to come. The revelation of that day Is a terrible one. We have seen the white horse of war with his hor- TOTS. We have seen the red horse of blood in his wake. We have beheld the black horse of grief and anguish and we have seen the pale horse of disease and death. Oh. what inexpressible experiences of suffering these have brought to the hu- man family! But In the midst of them all we have been able to pray. Alas! When the finale comes men will try to get away from God and will cry, Rocks fall on us and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth upon the throne and the wrath of the Lamb"
 "Thank God we are now in the dis pensation of Love. Tomorrow 1t may be wrath. Take warning"
 This morning at 10 o'clock MT. Wicker will speak on 'The Risen Life" and at 7:3o p. m. on Loves Power"
