JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING
Rev Dr. Torrsy Tells His Auditors There
isNo Evadinr the Issue,
NEITHER WILL THERE BE ANY APPEAL
Preparations BeinR Made for the
General Observance of Wednes-
day as "A Day of Fasting
and Prayer.

Repent. repent, repent" were the words
which Rev DR. Torrey sent echoing and re-
echoing time and time again through the
Auditorium last evening. The audience
filled the main floor Of the building and
large part of the gallery. Or. Torrey spoke
on THE judgment Day taking his text
from Acts II: Good now commandeth
all men everywhere to repent"
Two things are absolutely certain" said
the speaker They are, that Jesus Christ
will come again and that there will be
judgment day. Men may laugh at 1t ana
dssertate upon the impossibility or at
least the improbability of its ever coming
to pass. But that does not take one bit
from the certainty of It. In the time Of
Noah the people laughed at him while ne
was building the ark. But when the floods
came they did not laugh In the time OF
Lot the people laughed but today their
city is buried deep beneath the waters OF
the Dead sea. In the time of jeremiah
the people laughed at his prophesies con-
corning their city, but in few years the
Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar came and
laid the city waste and carried the in
habitants captive to Babylon. In the days
OF Jesus the people laughed when he
prophesied that there should be not one
other but within seventy years the proph-
esy had been literally fulfilled.
THE judgment will be UNIVERSAL 1t will
not be judgment Of only the poor only
the educated or only the rich. All must
appear before the judgment bar Of God.
All Must Render Account
The basis of the judgment day will be
the deeds done in the body. You women
60, ,,d th.
things of this world; you hypocrites who
have gone to the communion table regu-
larry when you knew that you were not tit;
you men VINO have made gold your god,
you who have known the truth but have
refused to accept it, you libertnes who
have gone up and down in the world
spreading devastation and sorrow wherever
you have trodden; all Of you will have
to appear there and give an account of
the deeds done in the body And not of
the deeds only will you have to give ac-
count, but of every idle thought and word
and every Imagination of your mind.
THE administrator Of the judgment will
be Jesus Christ. That will be a dark day
for Plate for Judas Iscariot and for many
OF the people of the present day, and some
who are in this building tonight.
THE Issues of the judgment will be
eternal. There will be no appeal from
them. The decision there will mean eternal
damnation and death or eternal salvation
and life"
Seventeen parsons arose in response to
the invitation and signiied their desire to
lead a Christian life.
Day of Fasting and Prayer.
Preparations are being made for the OBJ
servation of Wednesday as a day of spe-
cial fasting and prayer for the outpouring
of the Holy Ghost on the people OF Omaha
and for regenerating and retaining of

possible, retaining from eating one or
more meals and devote much time 10
prayer. A special meeting will be held
Wednesday at 1880 a. m in the First Pres

The Ministerial association. at it's meet
ing yesterday, adopted the following reso-
buttons:
Inasmuch as we are in the midst Of q
gracious work of God in and by the church
of Omaha, under the leadership of DR. Tor
rey and his helpers, guided and empowered
by the Holy Spirit which has brought forth
many evidences OF Gods presence and His
workings with His people; and believing
we nave HIS promise Of greater things
in answer to the humble, united, trustfuI
and persistent prayer Of His people;
Therefore, we, the Ministerial union Of
Omaha, unanimously join DR.. Torrey in
an appeal to the Christian people of the
city and surrounding country to set aside,
so far as possible, their usual avocation on
wednesday, December g. and give them
selves to prayer to God for such an OUT
pouring Of His holy spirit upon all classes
and conditions Of people as that the whole
city may be moved toward God; and,
That IN addition TO prayer In our homes
and churches in the early hours OF the day,
we assemble in the First Presbyterian
church at 1890 a, m for a season of prayer
together, where DR.. Torrey will speak and
Mr.. Butler will sing.
