you, for 1 have fought my way into
the foulest of dens that 1 might carry
out a minister's son who was bound
by the passion. 1t seems to me that
there is no passion which is so terrible
as the passion to get something for
nothing. You have an awful blot on
your city's name. You business men
have no right to allow the races at
Ascot park to exist. If your clerks
steal from you, it is your judgment
from God. Cease from this sin. God
pity you If you don't.
IF your sin is impurity, my heart
aches for you. Wherever today there
is a woman of cast fallen, there is
somewhere in the world a man who is
guilty.
"Oh, to be down in the depths of
sin and have no hope, no Savior. You
cannot grow away from God. You
are made for him and if you put him
out of your life, the consequences will
be serious. Man, your morality does
not reach high enough. 1t does not
stretch out enough unless you have
Jesus Christ
Some of you are coming to Christ
today. You are going to catch vision
Of my Savior today and you are going
to open your eyes and say: Where
have 1 been that L did not know be-
fore?'"
Auditorium Evening Service
Temple auditorium was as crowded
in the evening as it had been in the
afternoon and an overflow meeting
was held in the First Methodist church
at which all the seats were filed
DIR. Chapman was assisted by the
chorus and Mr.. Butler.
Personal Responsibility was the
topic of the sermon and the text was
taken from 142nd psalm: mo man
cared for my SOUL
This text ought always to be spoken
in a minor key. 1 verify believe that
when David sobbed it out in the cave
it must have been after this fashion,
There is probably no man in history
whose life is filled with real contrast
as that of the writer of this text.
1.-The coast of the Dead sea is very
cave of Engedi with darkness so dense
that little way from the mouth of
it you could not see your hand before
you. 1t is here that David says: 4
looked on my right hand and beheld,
but there was no man that would know
me. Refuge failed me; no man careth
for my SOUL
&c mot 11Orr fr
take even little of the time to speak
of David's cry, except as it is known
to be the real cry of the vast army of
the unsaved who are today without
God, and without hope in the world.
And. alas! it sometimes would seem
as if they have a right to say no one
seems to care.
Yet this needs word of explanation
on behalf of those of us who are Chris
tians, for in point of fact, the men,
bers of the church are not indifferent
to the unsaved about them, but there
are certain reasons why we have failed
to speak, and failing, have given them
a right to speak in the words of the
text: No one cares for my SOUL
'The feeling of unworthiness has Of
ten sealed our lips. We know how we
have failed at the bar of our own
judgment and realizing the critical
spirit that those who are unsaved have

ence and have been afraid to ask them

1--WE sometimes fail to speak because
we do not realize that those out of
Christ are lost, but according to the
Bible we certainly know that he that
hath not the Son of God hath not life,
but the wrath of God abideth on him..
Opportunities Neglected

college for almost two years; was

There are special times when we
may go to them.
If ever you find one whose heart is
aching, seek him out and tell him of
Christ, who alone can give him peace.
