Baptist church. The crowds a
the morning and night service
were immense, and Evangelist An
drews got right down to straight
old fashioned gospel preaching
and warmed things up nightly
80 that at the night service sia
conversions were recorded and a
solid foundation laid for some fine
work this week.
For the frat morning lesson the
evangelist read from the sixth
chapter Of Deuteronomy, from the
fifth to the ninth verses, wherein
is emphatically set forth the COM
mandment to love God with all
the heart, soul and might, and to
teach this commandment to child
rem diligently in the home and in
the daily affairs and walks Of life,
"when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou Hest down, and
when thou risest up" The second
scripture lesson was from the sixth
chapter Of Ephesians, first four
verses, embracing the command
ment to children to obey and honor
their parents, and to fathers to
''provoke not your children TO
wrath: But bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the
Lord
The text Of the morning sermon
was the last clause Of the fifteenth
verse Of the twenty-fourth chapter
of Joshua: "But as for me and my
house, we will serve the Lord"
The preacher briefly outlined the
campaign of Gen.
Joshua with the raw recruits OF Is
rael against warlike enemy with
walled cities, aud showed that
Joshua commanded his household
In the fear Of God with the same
dominating influence that he COM
manded his army. Going directly
