WAL Continue Every Night During the
EIonth-Sevem New Members Admitted
Yesterday.
The evangelistic services began yes
terday at the Grace NJ. E. church and
they will continue to be held every
night during the month. Seven new
members We're received at the morn
ing service. The sacrament was adj
ministered to a large number of COM
municants. The evening revival service
was led by the pastor, Rev. A. J.
Smith, multitude being present to
hear the word. The preacher in a force
full and impressive way represented
Jesus Christ as the worlds greatest
preacher In referring to his ministry
while upon earth he asked what was
g the Lords object as a preached? To
save men. ITO save that which was
lost" What was Jesus Christ's meth
cd in accomplishing His object? He
awaited Himself of every method. He
taught as when He went into the little
synagogue at Nazareth on the Sabbath
day and stood up to read.
And there was delivered unto Him
the book of the prophet Esaias And
when He opened the book and found
the place where it was written, the
spirit OF the Lord is upon Me, because
He hath anointed Me to preach the Cos
pei of the poor; He hath sent me to
heal the brokenhearted, to preach de-
liverance to the captives, and recover
ing of sight to the blind, to set at liber-
ty them that are bruised; to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord; and He
closed the book. and He gave 1t again
to the minister, and sat down. And the
eyes Of all them that were in the syna-
gogue were fastened on Him. And He
began to say unto them, This day is this
Scripture fulfilled in your ears
Jesus Christ was also an evangelist.
He spake as never man spake 1e not
only solemnly, quietly taught the peo-
pie in a conversational tone, but He
lifted up His voice and cried, like John
Baptist crying in the wilderness.
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any
man thirst let him come unto Me, and
drink
Jesus Christ also entreated standing
on olives brow in full view of the Holy
City. Christ weepingly exclaimed, o
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest
the prophets, and stonest them which
are sent unto thee, how often would
have gathered thy children together,
even as the hen gathereth her chickens
under her wings, and yet would not!

Laodicean church exclaiming, Behold, l
stand at the door. and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with Me.
Jesus Christ also threatened. How
fearful His warnings. And these shall
go away into everlasting punishment;
but the righteousness into life eternal.
1.-THE wicked shall be turned into hell,
end all the nations that forget God"
"Cast We the improbable servant into
outer darkness: there shall be wailing
and gnashing Of teeth"
Thus Christ endeavored by all means
To save some. Jesus taught, appealed,
entreated, invited. warned. threatened.
He gave His life to purchase our re-
demption. "How shall we escape if we
neglect so great salvation"
A large part Of the congregation re-
manned to the after service which was
one of great interest. The evangelistic
service will be continued tonight and
he held in the auditorium Of the church.
