"SIRS. WHAT MUST DOTOBE SAVED?"
Evangelist Martin on the Great Question of
Salvation

others being similar. Mark lis, Repent
and believe the gospel But they did
not tell the jailer, Repent Then he
must have already repented. He had
gotten where he said what must l do
to be saved. 1 am ready to do any
thing God wants me to do. That Is
repentance. Here is the definition OF
repentance, given by one of the great
est men in the world: We may there
fore give as the one invariable defini-
ton of New Testament repentance that
it is a change of mind The Jailer
had entirely changed his mind
Third. They did not say Believe on
the Lord Jesus and join the church and
thou shalt be saved, but simply, Be
lieve on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt
be saved If one has to join the
church to be saved, then Paul and
Silas did not give the jailer an honest
answer. Yet how often when called to
the bedside of the dying have 1 been
assured by loved ones, He's member
of the church.
Friends, churches are not insurance
companies for Heaven; If they were,
they would long since have been bank
rupted by the bad, risky policies they've
been writing.
Fourth. They did not say Believe
on the Lord Jesus and be baptized and
thou shalt be saved but simply, Be
lieve on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt
pc saved If one has to be baptized
to be saved, then they did not give
the jailer an honest answer.
Fifth. They did not say, Believe
on the Lord Jesus and eat the Lord S
Supper or the mass and thou shalt be
saved, but simply Believe on the Lord
Jesus and thou shalt be saved If
one has to eat the Lords Supper or the
mass to be saved, then Paul and Silas
did not give the poor lost jailer an
honest answer.
sixth. They did not say Believe on
the Lord Jesus and live a good life and
thou shalt be saved hut simply, Be
Ieve on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt
be saved If one has to live good life
| in addition to believing on the Lord
Jesus in order to be saved, then they
did not give that jailer an honest an
sWer.
ooh, friends, all these things are
traditions and superstitions that have,
during the centuries, gathered around
| the text. Face the question and an
swer of the text squarely; let them
stand out in all their simplicity. bold
ness and grandeur. A human being is
| honestly facing destiny, yearning to
| know what to do to be saved, 'Sirs,
| what must 1 do to be saved?' Listen to
the simple, clean-cut, positive answer
Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou
| shalt be saved
But doesn't God want US to join the
church, be baptized, take the Lord 8
Supper, live a good life? Surely, he
! does. They are plain teachings of His
word. Why do otherwise when Jesus
tells you IF We love me keep my COM
mandments.
"Oh, friends, it is not from fear of
| hell that God wants your service, but
/ from love; and that it may be from
| love, He says, Believe on the Lord
! Jesus and thou shalt be saved viii
you believe on Him, accept Him as your
| Savior, or will you turn away and be
| lost?

E~SO!CIETY.~
CHILDREN'S RECITAL,

A charming little entertainment of
music and song was given yesterday
afternoon at st. Vincent's Academy by
the pupils of the preparatory class.
The music room of the school was
prettily decorated with flowers. and
just above that portion of it reserved
for the young performers were stretch
ed ropes of smilax, forming a sort of
canopy. Many people were present,
the audience being composed chiefly
OF the parents and other relatives of
the children, and the programme was
listened to with much enjoyment.
The guest of honor was Bishop
Kelley, who, with Rev. DR.. Goggins,
was seated at the front of the room
directly facing the little musicians.
The children, many of whom were
quite young; were almost all begin
ners in the study of the pianoforte,
some of them having taken lessons
for only few months, and their COM
mand of the instrument, in view of
this fact, was remarkable. All the
pieces were well rendered, in notice.

In the Park Tabernacle last night
Evangelist Martin spoke of the great
question, What Shall Do to Be
Saved?" and from various sources
showed that the answer of Paul and
Silas to the poor jailer was simply
the word, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and Thou shalt be saved" The
text was taken from Acts 16: 80, 81.
The eternal destiny of the human
SOUL" said the evangelist, lis a mat
ter of tremendous moment, and to tell
it what to depend on is an awful re-
sponsibility. To the question, What
must 1 do to be saved?' we need to
know absolutely that we have an an
swer from God. There were many
copies of the Bible made before the in
vention of printing. Can we be sure
that the answer of the text comes
from God? This is the translation Of
the King James translators. Is 1t
certainly correct? For mistake here is
fatal.
I'm 1881 the revised translation of the
Bible was begun by the greatest schol-
Protestant denominations. They had
hundreds and hundreds of copies Of the
Bible made at different times to COM
pare and study, two of them very old
copies, made away back near the time
of the apostle, and those whom the
apostles taught. Listen to this re-
vised translation agreed to by the
scholarship of the world, 'Sirs, what
must 1 do to be saved? And they said,
shalt be saved
But there is yet another translation,
the Catholic Bible. May it not change
the translation? Here is the Catholic
Bible, Masters, what must l do that
l may be saved?' And they said, Be
lieve in the Lord Jesus; and thou shalt
be saved

it sure that the text is Gods message

and thou shalt be saved Don't we
have to be born again? Jesus said,

Closing Performance of the Enter

Closing Performance of the Enter.
tninment for Guards.
The second celebration of the Tom
Thumb wedding passed off at the the
ater last evening with even greater
success than the first. In the pretty
retinue of attendants there were sew
eral new and enchanting little figures,
and the children, though quite as I'M
conscious and natural as on the first
occasion, knew their places better and
went through their roles more ac-
curately, all of which added consider
ably to the pleasure of the audience.
Credit for the entire entertainment is
wholly due to Mrs. Claudia Hazen
White, who planned the costumes,
drilled the little folks, as we'll as the
older ones, and managed the produc-
ton in addition to her own active
part in it by her recitations.
Mrs. White was heard last night
in Wild Zingarella, a dramatic story
of gypsy passion, and also in the
kissing Cup Race, as told by an Eng
lish jockey. The audience was most
enthusiastic, and applauded her very
warmly. One of her happiest num-
bers was given in response to repeated
demands for an encore-a humorous
