Haudenschield Delivers a
Strong Sermon on
Welfare


at the NJ E. church. There were
quite number OF visiting ministers
present.
Rev. J. Naugle, who is well known
in Lewiston. having held a meeting
here some eight years ago, and who
has just closed one of the very best
services ever held in Kendrick in
which large number were led to ac-
cept the better way. was present, as
were also Rev. Hess, pastor at Ken
drick. and Rev. r. A. Galley. pastor at
Cotton.
Rev. Mr.. Haudenschield took for his
subject: 'Ts 1t Well with Thy soul?"
saying in part:
I'VE are all very anxious about our
neighbors' welfare in relation to busi-
ness. politics and the transient things
of this life. We meet man in busi-
ness, and the first thing we ask of
him, II we are his friend IL, rs 1t well
| with your business?' If we meet a
| teacher, we ask: Is It we'll with thy
school" II we meet a politician we
inquire about his party prospects, and
SO on all through life. But when 1t
comes to the one thing needful and the
one thing lasting. our lips are frozen
and our souls are dead.
interest in LASTING Things.
passing things which interest our
brother, but why not be interested in
the lasting things and the true riches?
Why neglect the real life, the eternal
life? II all who profess the name Of
Christ in this town would at once be-
come as interested in the lasting well
fare of the people about them as they
are in the transient things. you would
have a revival Of great power at once.
DO you think as a believing Chris
tian that anyone who Is not q be-
lever will really have faith in your
profession when It IL known that you
are more interested in his earthly in
terests than you are in his eternal
destiny?
NO wonder that the church and the
kingdom lis at a low ebb here in this
place. The only way to ever resur-
rect 1t IL to begin taking an interest
in the eternal welfare Of the people.
Get Right with God.
Get man right with God and he
will be right with man. Get man
right with eternity and he will be right
with time. He who comes to Won
interested in your transient affairs
shows some regard for you, but the
man who has his eyes filled with tears
because you are making shipwreck
with your eternal life, is the man who
Is really your friend"
The evangelist then took up the
things which keep a man blind in re-
lation to the real condition of his soul
life. and he enumerated quite a num-
Der Of interesting truths. Then he
took up the things which made for the
welfare of our soul life, and these
have to do with every believing child
of God IN all the churches.
These are things we all believe but
not all practice" he said. 1.-THE ther-
mometer of the soul life is the real in
dication Of the life of society and OF
the world for good. A mans soul ia
the center Of his being. There is
nothing great upon earth but man and
there is nothing great in man but soul.
