YOU ARE MISSING
A GREAT DEAL

ny MOI AttenO1nX the ReV1V0
Meotings-COnverts Coming
Forward AT Every
Meeting.
MEETINGS CLOSE SUNDAY
Of course you have been to
the revival meetings. What
You haven't? How surprising
There are a great many attend
ing regularly who went the frs,
time through mere curiosity
and some how or other they are
still attending. Yes, and better
still some of these have gone for.
Notwithstanding their desire
to become chris tians. How
much that means to them-how
much 1t means to everyone.
This is the last week of the
meetings-Su Sunday evenings
service closing the series. You
are missing q great deal by not
hearing Rev. Lowry's sermons.
Space does not permit giving a
detailed reproduction of them,
so a reporter has picked out a
few of his many striking "sen-
tencesermons, leach one of which
covers wide range of pitfalls to
which mankind is heir. They
may very appropriately be called
LOWRY EPIGRAMs.
The devil has no happy old men.
The fellow who says he don't be-
lieve there is devil has the devil in
him.
A great many people have more
church. ianity than they have chris.
tianity.
If the devil ism t bothecing you you
may be pretty sure that he has you
just where he wants you.
An idle man could no more be a
christian than the devil himself. Did
you ever see christian bum?
You say it makes one graceful to
dance-well l would rather my daugh-
ter would get grace in her heart than
in her heels.
God says there is hell for every
Christless soul. If he didn't mean
what Fl siid why didn't he say what
He meant!
If there isn't hell there would
have to be one made to order for
many God defying men and women on
earth today.
'There is time we know not when,
A place we know not where,
That seals the destiny of men,
For glory or despair
Jesus Christ came to save us from
our sins. and not in our sins. Many
would like to be saved. but they would
like to be saved sins and all.
St. James must have been from
Missouri. He said "Show me-
''Show me thy faith without thy
works. and l will show thee my faith
by my works.
When we face the teaching of
Gods word, many processing christ.
ians must do one of two things; either
give up worldly amusements or give
up the delusive hope that they were
ever born again.
From the conditions prevailing in
many places it would seem that heav
en- will be filled with women and
children, and hell with men. Isome-
times wonder if there will be enough
men in heaven to sing bass.
You say if God is all powerful,
"Why don't he kill the devil?" Well
there may be many reasons. but one
is: because that would leave too
many orphans-the devil has many
children you know
If you would do something in st.
Paul or Chicago that you would not
do here in Milbank, it shows that the
foundation of your character is rot
ten. You are not kept from sin be-
cause you love Christ. but for a sell
fish purpose-you love your reputa-
tiOn.
Many men in this town you have mt
seen at any of these services. Meth.
er will you see them at any other
church service until the hearse backs
up in front of their house and their
carcass is hauled there for their own
funeral service. They have stepped
over the dead line in their resistance
of Gods spirit.
Sunday evening Rev. Lowry
will preach his last sermon in
this city and everybody who can
should attend from this time.
If you havn't been up yet, go
once and hear the gospel preach
ed IN a way that will set you to
thinking-it has others.
Up to the present time there
have been 100 converts.
Services will be held Satur
day evening, and three Sunday.
