 Southside INTEREST OVER DISTRICT Dr. c. A. Stewart Preached Last Night at First Baptist to Good congre- gation-Singng Was
 Notable Feature.

Another large congregation was pres ent last night to hear Evangelist w. W. Hamilton at the Southside Baptist church. The meetings continue to grow in in- terest and many strangers are attend ing the services pr. Hamilton spoke last night on What Jesus Thought About He'll The speaker began by quoting Browning's words: There may be heaven, there must be he'll"
 ''rhe Bible, reason and instinct" he. said ''all agree that there must be a time and place for fighting the wrongs of this life. If the Bible did not give Us one then some Dante or Milton would. Those terrible statements concerning hell were not made by one who hated men and wanted them to go to hell, but by Jesus, who wept over the impenitent and gave His life to save men from hell.
 Hell is a place; d place of conscious ness; place of memory. One thing that will make hell so terrible will be to re- member the past with it's opportunity. It is a place of suffering; a place of con tinual sin and rebellion against God. People here in this world rebel against God on account of suffering, so will they iR he'll It Is eternal, no hope for those who have entered it's dark portals. There will be no children in there; no music no churches, no gospel call, no Christ lifted up as savior. Those things will have passed away forever"
 The speaker closed by saying if he could not point out a way to escape it he would not speak of it again; better not to know about it at all, if there be no hope of escape, but Jesus came to save men He is the way. Through Him men may not only escape hell, but live eternal ly with God.
