FILL ALTAR
At CHURCH
Strong Interest Is Main.
tanned in the
Revival.

one or the best services OF the en-
tire series took place In the First NJ.
+. church last night. The altar was
filled at the close Of the sermon. Mr..
Moody and his loyal and efficient choir
sang as never before. The house was
filled with anxious people. Rev. Bas-
kerville spoke about the objectionable
sin.
There are so many who cannot see
this matter clearly and they have SO
many difficulties, but If we take the
Bible for our guide we cannot go
wrong said he. THE man who argues
with another about the location Of a
city goes with him to the geography
and that settles it. The man who dis
putes With another about the class a
certain flower should occupy goes with
him to book on botany and that set
ties it. The man who argues with ano-
Their about certain point in law agrees
that they shall leave it to the law book
and that settles it. If we will be fair
and as reasonable about matters of re-
ligion and the future and will go to
the Bible we shall have no difficulties.
I'VE imagine that all sorts of gross
sins are the objectionable sin. Peter
swore and was forgiven; therefore pro-
family is not the objectionable sin.
Thomas doubted and had his doubts
cleared up: therefore intidelity is not
the objectionable sin, and so we can go
through the entire catalogue with BIZ
BILE characters who repented and We're
forgiven, and there is an unpardona-
bic sin spoken of in all four of the
gospel writer's.
Matthew Mark, Luke and John all
speak of it and the writer of this epis-
tie to the Hebrews does the same, but
a man can commit this and be a very
moral man. man whose influence
against Christ and the Holy Ghost may
be thousand times more efficient than
if he We're an immoral man.
'These good men who stand out
against Gods kingdom and against
Christ are the ones who ruin and who
blast others. They give an example
fatal and wrong. The tippler wins re-
cruits for the saloon. The old drunk
ard with clothes covered with mud
and flies crawling out Of his nose on
the sidewalk after having been thrown
out of the saloon is not wanted be-
cause his money was all gone. The
saloon man does not want him around
advertising the kind of goods he turns
out.
Sin Of Hardened Heart.
"To harden your heart until the spirit
of God leaves you for the last time is
the sin against the Holy Ghost and
countless men and women have COM
mtted it, In every community you will
find those who confess that their hearts
are cold and dead and the spirit no
more strives with them. They have
driven Him away for the last time.
Paul was a unitarian before Christ met
Him on the way TO Damascus and then
by the light of the spirit he became a
true follower of Christ but he did not
resist the Holy Ghost. He takes the
things of Christ and reveals them to
the soul and Christ is the only name
given among men whereby we are to be
saved and this agent must reveal Him,
and when He has passed from us for
ever we cannot believe unto salvation"
Rev custer opened the doors Of the
church after the altar service. He
said I'VE do not ask you to come
into the church in order to be saved.
Come in order to show your colors.
work for God and build IN His king
dom here in Lewiston. If you have
ever belonged elsewhere. or have ever
taken letter from another place. or
have ever belongd on probation else
where or have ever been baptised
come and we will help you and arrange
FIR your full membership now; then
If you have never been baptised come
and unite with the church and when
baptised and ready to answer the ques-
lions come in fully.
"You want your influence to be for
Christ and His cause. Get into the
visible church which He established
and do not try to be a Christian out
side bushwhacking about and wander
ing from place to place, for the man
who has influence and who creates con :
fdence both in himself and in the
church is the man who unites with the
church. and by always being found in
his place at services and standing firm
helps others while the man who wan
ders about and drifts about from place
to place gives an impression that he is
satisfied nowhere and he does no good
for God at all.
1T is thus in every calling of life
and doubly thus in the church. Come
show YOUR colors. get ready for great
work for God in Lewiston for this is
only the beginning of great things in
this town and You should all have a
part in the greater victories yet to
come"
