BAPTIST REVIVAL GROWS.
Interest Deep and Widespread at south
 side Church

The interest in the Southside Baptist Church revival Is spreading and is be- coming the topic of conversation in that part of the city.
 Evangelist T. T. Martin took his text last night from Titus ii.12. 13: Our Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself peculiar people. zealous of good works" He said in part:
 Tt is pitiabie and heart-tc hing to see so many people carelessly. heart lessly going on down to hell, but 1t Is even more ptiable to see many earn est people. who yearn to be saved, making fatal mistakes about the way to be saved. So many think that they must keep the commandments to be saved. If that is true, then no one will be saved. for Jesus the Savior Is the only one who ever kept the ten commandments. Then many seeing that no one has ever kept the com. mandments, flee to as fatal hope. that Is that we must try to keep them or do the best we can to keep the ten com mandments or we will not be saved,
 Friends, let one speak plainly who has given large part of his life 10 a close study of this Bible. If a person has to try to keep the ten command ments or do the best he can to keep them in order to be saved. then this Bible is as silent as the grave on that point
 'The trouble Is that we nave mixed and confused Gods two separate, dis tinct ways of getting to Heaven. Two ways of getting to Heaven? Yes. two entirely different ways of getting to Heaven. Here Is one, The man that doeth them (the ten commandments) shall live by them. not by Christ; he doesn't need any Christ. Do you ask If man will get to Heaven if he keeps the ten commandments? Certainly; what could God send him to hell for? But remember it means to keep them and never. from birth to death, break one of them. Do you say that no one has ever or will ever do that? Exact ly; hence Gods other way. Of that way the text tells us. Our Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us. Would God agree to let the Savior give himself for us, and then send us to hell? Surely, God is an honest God, But notice. that He might redeem us. Redeem means to actually pay for. Would a man take my money to redeem another's note and then make the oth- CT pay it, too? Would a judge take your money to redeem or pay the fine of another and then make the other pay eRat fine, too?
 ''BuENfurther. that ne mlBnl FeoeeHl us from all iniquity.' But some one says. I don't think we will get to Heaven unless we join the church. Grant that 1t is iniquity not to join the church, as it is, yet the Savior re- deems us from all iniquity.' But an- other says even if we do trust Jesus to save us, we will be lost if we are hot baptized Grant that 1t Is iniquity not to be baptized. as it is. yet the sa- vior redeems us from all iniquity.' But says another, If we do wrong after we accept Jesus as Savier. we will be lost. Grant that 1t is iniquity to do wrong after we are saved. us 1t Is, yet the Sa- vior redeems us from all iniquity'
 DO you ask why be zealous of good works? Glory to God, not from fear of hell, for God wants no one's he'll scared service; but from love to the Savior for redeeming us from all in- iquity He said, If ye love me keep my commandments not if ye are afraid of hell. You would love a dog that would save your life and dog would love you for saving It's life. Would you trust the Savior who died for your sins worse than you would treat dog, or would you put yourself lower than a dog by saying you would not serve him from love after you were saved by Him?"
