zone of the most outrageous sins is
the trap laid for girls by unprincipled
men. The men are exposed to shame,
and yet they are received into the best
of society,"" said DR.. Torrey last night
in bitter denunciation of present day
evils and the law of sin.
Something Absolutely Sure" was his
topic and he said in part:
You may escape the laws of men,
but you cannot escape the laws of God
A man may seem to escape the law, put
he is weaving a net that catches MN
at last. Every sin man commits Is
registered within himself. SIN means
sickness, as holiness means health.
Every time you lose your temper
your blood is disarranged. Sin VIII
md you out in your own character An
liberated character is worse than an
liberated body. Reading obscene
stories, gazing on bad pictures, attend
ing immoral plays, will be shown IN
your character. You can't hide sin
from yourself.
IAN accusing conscience is hell on
earth. No earthly prosperity can as
suage it's grief or scatter its clouds
Much as many do not like the BLDG,
because it speaks of the visitation OF
the sins of the father on his children,
if every Bible was burned the facts
would remain the same. moderate
drinker is one who may show no et-
fects of liquor, but his children De
come drunkards. l never knew man
who INDUCED in liquor but his children
had to suffer for it.
sabbath breaking is another sin.
Some go to church in the morning and
then go out and have a gay auto rlde
later. The children will go farther
than that
Under the law there is no hope, but
the gospel of Jesus Christ comes in for
the redemption of all sim
How to Make Converts
There were 10000 people here last
Sunday. 1t is the other 100000 people
in Los Angeles that we are after. There
are some who would come here if they
could, but there are thousands who
could come if they would" said Dr.
Torrey yesterday afternoon in his ser
mon on How to Win the People OF
Los Angeles.
Following the song service DR.. Tor
rey read a letter which he had re-
ceived asking prayer for very wicked
man who had much wealth and who
was in an influential position Follow
speaking of personal work as the only
way to win souls to Christ. He said:
1T is the hand to hand work-brother
to brother, sister to sister and friend
to friend-that wins souls to Christ.
Dwight L. Moody would not have been
won to Christ if it had not been for
the personal work of his Sunday school
teacher.
1--WE can all do it, but we can't all
preach. What an institution the church
would be if we were all preachers! l
believe one of the great mistakes in
our Sunday schools today is the plac-
ing of good people in charge of the
classes who haven't any fitness for the
work. But we can all tell about Christ.
You housewives can talk to the store
keeper about Christ. You can do it
anywhere and everywhere. You can
only preach in a few places. Moody
decided that he wouldn't let twenty
four hours pass without speaking 20
someone about Christ.
1T is a great deal better to have A
great deal of zeal and little knowledge |
than much knowledge and little zeal.
you can't get all classes to the
church, but you can go to Them The
outcasts won't come. 1 wish to God |
they would. But there isn't place in |
Los Angeles which you cannot reach. |

Personal work hits the mark In
preaching we have to be general. even
if we are personal, people think it hits |
somebody else. One person passes it |
back to another until they pass it out |
of the back door without its hitting |
anyone. But when it comes to per- |
sonal work there is no lodging
I'VE aim at nothing in our preaching |
and we hit it every time. Personal |
work succeeds where everything else |
fails. Preaching is all right, but the |
results come from personal work.
"Our preaching is a good deal like !
an old doctors jug. He took a little |
of every kind of medicine he had |
turned 1t into this jug and stirred it |
up. When he had a case he didn'1 |
exactly know what to do with he gave |
them little from the jug, feeling that |
something in it would hit their case |
That's what we do with our preaching, |
but preaching isn't in it with personal
work.
IF right here a thousand people
| should become converted and each one
! bring only one soul to Christ in a year
and each one of those only bring one
soul year in eight years there would
| be 512, 900 souls saved-all Los Angeles'l
saved for Christ. The way to learn
| how is to do it."
AS usual after the service DR.. TorreY
! fingered to talk with those who had
sgnified their wish to become Chris
tians. The personal workers also stay
after each service to assist in the work.
| Beginning next Monday there will be
| four services daily. The first will be
held from 1916 to $3.50 in the opera
house for the noon crowds. The usual
service at 3:4O o'clock at the tabernacle
and the evening service will be con-
tinued, while DR.. Jacoby will address
the workers meeting at 693 South Les
Angeles street, preceding the evening
| service.
The topic this evening will be "How
to Pray so as to Get What You Ask"
