pected to arrive here last evening e
conduct the revival services at Til,
Calvary Baptist tent failed to get here
and the meeting was led by Rev. DR.
l.. d. Bass who preached an effective
sermon to large audience. He re
viewed the STORY OF the trial and con
i demnation Of Christ before PLATE
bringing out the striking incidents o.
\ the occasion in words that impressed
the audience deeply. Rev Bass spoke
in part as follows:
/ My mortal and immortal friends
there Is turning point In every one
OF your lives. There is time when
Jesus is brought before your judg.
jment seat to be acquitted or con,
! demned. II you acquit him you can
not but accept him. PLATE knew of
this Christ only short time before
he was called upon to judge him. You
live after nearly twenty centuries
have tested and proved his power and
his divinity, now what will you do
with this man that is called Christ,
You cannot shirk the responsibility Of
passing Judgment upon him. You sit
tonight as judge and Jesus stands be-
fore you. Not far hence he win sit
upon yon great white throne as
Judge aud you viii stand before him
to be accepted or rejected What
will he say to you then? Just what
you say to him tonight
