SECOND WEEK OPENS.
Continuation of Revival Services in
Epworth N. E. Church South.

The second week of the revival services
held in Epworth NJ. f. Church South
closed Saturday evening. Good work has
been done for the community and a num-
Der of souls have been converted to the
cause Of Christ.
The pastor, Rev. John Smith. selected
X:4S: And many charged him that he
should hold his peace; but he cried the
more a great deal, Thou son of David,
have mercy on me.
The burden of the discourse was a COM
parison between physical and spiritual
blindness.
One of the chief points of difference
he said, is that the man physically blind
realizes his condition, while the other Is
seif-deceiVed
In this connection may be cited GER
tain cultured men who attempt TO write
themes and commentaries on the Scrip
lures without having had the scales re-
moved from their own eyes. From the
historical standpoint such works may be
of value, but as affording instruction
spiritually for the young and unconverted
they exert little influence.
Faith is the source of salvation and
without it the eyes of no man can be
opened. And with faith must come COM
plete surrender of the life to God. Just
the blind Bartimeus cast off the long
cloak which enwra pped him. that he might
make his way unimpeded TO Christ. so
must the seeker after salvation throw
aside mantles of self-conceit, se.fshness,
inordnate love for pleasure Or material
things, or any desires having a tendency
to hinder his souls development.
The man who has made the sacrifices
invo.ved in this self-surrender whose
spiritual eyesight has been made perfect.
wieids 4 powerful influence for good. Just
as the blind man when given sight. feels
his HE blessed as he views the beauties
of nature revealed for the first time. SO
the man who comes to a realization of the
Savior's love has a glimpse of heaven on
earth. Indeed his heaven may be said
to have commenced.
Not only this. but ne has the desire to
make others see and from this desire
radiates power to touch the most hard
ened hearts

Jack, if he has money, is a welcome
and unquestioned guest. On the other
hand, and this is more frequently the
case, If he lack funds he is asked for
his book of discharge which is care
fully scrutinized and the contents of
his bag are examined to ascertain its
value. If satisfactory to the boarding
master, Jack is taken in on the con-
dition that he ship on the first oppor-
tunlty and that the money advanced
him be turned over to said boarding
master. When it is remembered that
a sailor rarely, if ever, stops month
at these places and that in most in
stances a months wages are advanced
him when he signs himself aboard a
ship, il will be seen that the boarding
master is taking little or no risk. Each
boarding house keeps runner whose
duty is to visit the wharfs every morn.
ing and take note of the newly arrived
ships. All of his information is OBJ
tanned from the deck hands, after
which he returns to his boarding house
and presents his report" The sailor
about due for shipping is then given
the list of ships requiring men and it is
up to Jack to secure berth.
