But come as he has bidden,
 And He will not say me nay. I know I am weak and sinful,
 It comes to me more and more, But when the dear Savior shall bid me
 come in,
 I'll enter the open door.
 My mistakes his free grace will cover,
 My sins He will wash away, And the feet that shrink and falter,
 Shall walk through the gates of day. I know I am weak and sinful,
 It comes to me more and more: But when the dear Seavior shall bid me
 cone in,
 I'll enter the open door"
 Concluding Prayer.
 Dr. Wharton then asked all the men who were church members to bow their heads, and all who were not church mem- bers, but who were trusting in Jesus Christ as their Savior, to rise and stand with him. A number of men got up, when Dr. Wharton told them to take their seats, while he led in prayer:
 "Oh God, our Father, we are here to- gether today; we will never be together again this side of eternity. Some who are here will be absent in our next meet ing. But we want to thank Thee for Thy grace dHu tldt OlIeT OI Thy loNe t1dl makes it possible for a man to be man; a man after Gods idea-a man after Gods heart. Oh, Lord, don't let this be the end as well as the beginning, but let this be the beginning of better lives for every one today, and may each passing day help, by the grace of God, to make the character stronger, better in every way, that we may be what God would have us be. God bless our homes, God bless our children-our boys and our girls, God save our loved ones-God bless every effort that is being made in this city for the salvation of people; bless these preachers their congregations, these Christian men who are trying to live right. Bless the Young Mems Christian association; fur ther we pray Thee our efforts. and may every one of us stand for something eacf day, as the days are passing; we ask it foi Jesus sake. Amen.'
 After giving a cordial invitation to all to attend the meetings. the Doxology was sung, after which the Benediction was given and the audience dismissed.

REV. OR. WHARTON
 ATTRACTS CROWDS
Continued from Fifth Page,


 to be, and of the kind of men he wants l find the United States government, and the governments of other countries, adver- tising for men, and they tell what kind of men they want. Let me say first of all l think God wants men of brains. If it so happens thai you should be man of extraordinary intellect, you haven't any too much sense. my brother, for God to use you. He wants you to think for him. he wants you to plan for him. Some of the greatest intelects that have ever blessed the earth have been consecrated to Gods service. Don't think 1t Is intellectual weakness for a man to give himself to God. All along the pages of history the men who have shone the brightest and done the greatest works have been christian men.
 Men of Heart.
 God wants men of heart. l mean men who can feel for each other, and there Is no audience of a great city, largely made up of men from all sections of the coun- try, who have come to this busy city to carve out their own living You are part of this city; you belong to it. and you need to exercise kindness, generosin and help for other men who need it; who need 1t far more than any words of mine can express. There is too much in this doctrine of every man for himself and the devil take the hindest one. What we need is men who can feel for each .--.ler. When fellow is down. help him up. When dispirited, say cheering word to him. When a man has failed in business. go to him. and see if you cannot bring new spirit and new hope into his life. We all run and help horse up when he falls down. We will all go to the relief of any animal of the lower creation, but when it comes to an animal that stands upon our common plain-when 1t comes to fellow man-we are too apt to say discreditable things of a man who is already discredit- able.
 Men Like Hogs.
 It is not very beautiful compliment, but men are very much like hogs. Hogs will go on roofing together, having a great time, but let one hog get caught under the fence, and every one of the others will pitch in and tear him to pieces. Look at a dog, for as soon as a dog gets on his back all the others go for him for all they are worth. The same custom obtains among wolves. What you and I need, what God wants, what God is calling for. is men who have heart in them. Some time ago up in New York.

They never failed him when he called. The old Stone wall brigade rallied to their leader.
