PACKED HOUSE HEARS SERMON
Evangelist Walton breaches on the
Subject Of objectionable Sin.

1t was hard to tell what drew the
largest crowd of the meeting to the
First Methodist church last night,
whether it was desire to hear the
much discussed subject, The I'm
! pardonable SIM" or whether is was
curisity to hear If any more would
be said about civic righteousness.
! In speaking of the service after
wards the Evangelist said he didn't
see any need of speaking about the
| lawlessness at that time because the
! sermon Wednesday night had not
soaked in yet, but that more would
| be forthcoming
In his sermon he said, II have had
thousands of people ask me what
the objectionable sin is and | have
told them it is continued persistent
rejection of the Holy Spirit against
light and truth. 1t is not the scarlet
sin for literally thousands of men
and women who have been just as
low down in this sin as they could
get have been converted and are now
Christians of much usefulness. If
you have never visited the Door of
Hope in New York you have miss
ed something for there under the
leadership of Mrs. M. f. Whittemore
hundreds of fallen women are led
to Christ every year.
1t Is not stealing either for how
could Jerry McAuly have ever been
saved? He was a cut-throat, gambler
and river thief, and yet he was saved
and brought other men and women
of the same class as he to the Saw
| ior. No, 1t Is not any of these sins
| The bible says all sins shall be for
given except blasphemy of the Holy
| Spirit.
That is the one sin that God will
not forgive. What mystifies me is
that men and women will day after
| day reject Gods offer when they
know that if they persist God will
/ withdraw his spirit from them.
There are men in here tonight who
for twenty years or more have done
that very thing and yet tonight you
won't take advantage of what may
be your last opportunity. Did you
ever notice the numbers of sudden
deaths after revivals? have friend
| who has kept a record Of such in
stances In his experience. I never
| have kept a record, but l have re-
membered many cases right here
i in Texas. The bible says The blood
/ Of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us
[ from all sim Men, why will you die
| when God in mercy stands SO nigh?"
| The men were given a whole sec
! tion of pews and about 800 filled
these seats. The gallery out side the
auditorium was filled with people
throughout the service eager to
| catch every word of the speaker.
The mems meetings at the court
| house are drawing large numbers
of men each day. Yesterday a COM
mittee of ladies waited on the stores
that remained open from 10 to II
and succeeded in getting many to
close.
There will be no services Saturday
