method in his madness Of using the
expression of which 80 many COM
plain. He spoke as he did until he
got the crowd coming to the sermons,
then he gradually dropped his slang,
and now converts come forward at
each invitation in large numbers. His
sermons now have scarcely one word
but what any other minister of tho
gospel uses.
The objectionable Sin.
What is the objectionable sin?
This question that has worried
thousands ever since the Christian
religion was first taught was the
tleme of Rev. w. A. Sundays ser
mon last night. 1t does not, he said,
consist In theft, profanity, drunken.
ness, adultery, or murder, or If il
were any of these there would be
hundreds of Christians who would be
doomed to spend eternity in hell TO,
the sins they committed before they
were converted. The sin against the
Holy Spirit, commonly known as the
objectionable sin lies in refusing tc
accept Jesus Christ.
The evangelist said that there had
been three dispensations, the first
when God revealed himself through
the judges and prophets; the second
when through Jesus himself, and the
third or the one in which we are liv
ing, is through the Holy Spirit. ''J
takes the Trinity. the Father, Son an;
Holy Ghost, to keep you out of he'll
1t takes the Holy Spirit to convince
you Of sin; it takes Jesus to inter
cede for you; and it takes God to par
don YOU" He went on to show tina
the constant turning a deaf ear to tn,
pleadings of the Holy Spirit CONSTITUTE
ed sin against It,
His text was formed by Matthew
xii:31, 80, "Au manner of sin ami
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men
but the blasphemy against the Hol.
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men
And whosoever speaketh a wor,
against the son Of man. 1t shall be FOL

given him; but whatsoever speaketh

given him; but whatsoever speaketh
against the Holy Ghost, 1t shall not
be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come"
After a brief Introduction which re-
lated the incidents leading up to the
,lttering of the words by Jesus and
after telling what the sin was not,
as given above, Sunday said:
To my mind the answer to the ques-
tion what is this sin is simple and
plain and easy. 1t is the constant
and final rejection of Jesus as your
Savior. The time will come when God
will take away the last chance. I
don't know just at what period In
your life that will be, but do know
that you can refuse the last call.
at doesn't make any difference
what your sin Is, but God will ask
you to come to Jesus for the last time
and he won't try 1T again. The last
chance is coming. You may have re-
fused God for twenty years, maybe
80, so or 20 and still he may be call
ing, but Gods patience will end.
Many Called for Last Time.
These meetings are the bell of God
! tolling the fate of many. During the
course of these meetings, l verify be
lfeve, some have been called for the
last time and their faith is sealed.
believe there are men and women in
Fairfield just as truly damned as il
they were In hell already. They have
said no once too often.
II used to think only the profane
man or the libertine could commit the
unpardonable sin, but 1t was to the
Pharisees that Jesus personally spoke
these words, and the Pharisees will
rank with il not above the best mer
today in morals.
How does the objectionable sir
show itself? Usually in two ways, the
others are about all offshoots of these

81 have never said that all unbe-
levers are in agony, for do not be-
lieve it, but as rule men and women
die as they have lived. I'm one who
doesn't go much on deathbed repen-
tances, where people who think they
are going to die begin to whine and
cry for God. It seems to me that it
is one Of the most contemplate things
imaginable to use UP your life for
yourself and then cast the dregs to
God. That isn't your idea of fair
ness, is it? personally want to give
the manhood, the prime Of my life.

81 do not say that all deathbed re-
pentances are not genuine, but have
known people who have gotten up
| from what they have considered their
| deathbed after one of these repen-
| tances and then given God the ha-ha.
A physician told me that out of 300
| people who repented and accepted
| Christ on what they expected to be
their deathbed, only two of them lived
| it afterward.
How does 1t happen that SO few
aged men and women, people with
gray hairs, are among the converts?
1t is fact that ought to startle. But
1 1t is an argument for Christianity
rther than against it. But their hearts
are hardened and they have failed to
accept Gods last cali. Every minute
| you let go without taking Christ
makes it less likely that you ever will.

Medford, Mass, April 19.-Al- though nearly fifty years of age, Peter w. Foley of this city, will compete in the Marathon race to- day at Boston. Foley. who is a member of the B. A. X. is an all- round athlete. For the last three years he has started in the Mara thon race. and although he ncrer won. he always finished strongly. Ashland to Boston on these oeca- sions has always created as much interest and enthusiasm as that of the winner. All along the line he is greeted with cheers While the "old man." as he is commonly called in New England. is not sprinter, he is a plodder who has never been known to quit. Many times his stamina |; enabled him 10 beat out oppons its who were less than half his age. Last year he finished among the first thirty. and tWo years ago he came in thirty=seeond In that raee it took him 3 hours, 9 ainutes and l-5 seconds to travel the course. IT has always remained aA amateur, notwithstanding he has Lad many Offers to become professional.
