old familiar hymns were sung and quo
tations Of scripture were recited by
many in the audience ut the request o.

taken up, following remarks Of the Rev
r. A. Poole, in which he urged that the

these offerings were the only remunera.
tion that the evangelist, DR.. Toy, gets
for his services.
The address Of DR.. Toy was an earnest
| plea for every man In the audience Ia
accept Christ as his personal savior He
said in substance; There are probably
many men in this audience who do not
believe in the word OF God, and can
sympathize with those men, as there was
once time when did not believe in
God; but now | thank God that l do
believe in His Word and have become
acquainted with the author of His Bible.
The Bible not only records the good
deeds that men have done, but also the
evil deeds, as is shown in the account
Of the life Of David. II tells of his sins
and his confession Of them and how he
mado right with God.
II men would only stop 10 think and
consider the consequences before they
commit sin, half OF the sins OF this
world would never be committed. II
Harry Thaw had stopped to think or
had known what he would have to go
through and suffer he would never have
fired the pistol shot that killed Stanford
White.
II has been rightfully said that man
by nature Is born with his back toward
God, and that he continues to walk
away from Him. believe that man
by nature Is started wrong, but there
is precious jewel in the heart OF every
man and that jewel Jesus Christ died 70
save that we might live, and no man
has the right to trife with that jewel,
for he may lose 1t. No man or woman
can have genuine peace and happiness
away from God, for the simple reason
that he is out OF his natural creation.
Many people think that all they want
in this world 10 make them happy is
money. But does money satisfyi
venture to say that If money satisfied,
Rockefeller would have stopped long ago.
A million dollars will not satisfy
starving soul on his deathbed The long
er you remain away from God, the nearer
you are getting all the time to he'll.
The train you are on leads away from
Ged and you cannot afford to stay on it.
Jesus said, follow men.
Some people say that they are Just
as good as the church members. l say,
God help you If you. are not better than
some of them but that is not the meas
ure; Jesus is the standard that you are
to follow. II you have not Jesus Christ
in your soul, you are not good enough
for thisl ife, though you may think you
are. Jesus Christ is the only passport
into heaven. You may drop all your
sins, but If you do not accept the sin
bearer you cannot be saved. There is
not man here tonight who cannot be
saved and no man has the right TO say
mo" TO God 1t is sad, sad thing
when a man says no to God. You owe
it to yourself, to your family and to
God. Every man should set his children
a godly example.
The speaker then asked all in the au-
dience who had accepted Christ to bow
their heads, and then for all who would
accept Him now for the first time to
raise their hands, and several hands were
raised.
The Audience room at the Hedding
Methodist church was well filed yes
terday afternoon, when union services
were held for the young people. The
service was opened with prayer by Rev,
Francis A. Poole and singing by q cheir
Of young people from the schools Of
the city Frank Dickson sang solo,
entitled, "Give Ne Thy Heart" Rev.
D. S. Toy delivered an address upon the
subject, 1.-THE Rich Young Ruler" Mr..
Toy read portion of the 10th chapter
Of Mark, beginning with the second
verse, and took his text from the fol-
owing words, found in the 2lst verse,
One tking thou lackest."
Or. Toy said in part, This man came
10 Jesus to obtain eternal life and asked |
Him what to do. Jesus told him that !
ne lacked one thing and told him that he
must sell his possessions and give to
he por It was not earnestness, rever-
once, position or morality that the young
nan lacked, and he teld Jesus that he /
rad kept the commandments from his
youth up, but the one thing in his case
was the whole, and it is The same in
yours.
What was this one thingl 1t was de.
,ision; he could not decide to give up
Ill and follow Christ. The trouble with !
people is that they will not give up sin.
Money was the one thing in the case Of
his young man who was a ruler among
his people. If you give up all, you
'eceive in return much more than you
rive pu; yeu receive in return for the
.hings that you have given up peace,
oy, and happiness here and hereafter.
1t is easier to become a Christian while
young, and the most beautiful characters
md those who became Christians when
7eung. Some people have little sin to
,e saved from, but they need to accept
he Lord eJsus Christ as tAeir Savior
ust the same. The body is not that
which God asks fer. Thc body and
intellect are a part Of our beings; the
piritual part is still another, and it is
his part that God wants to yield to
lin. II is folly 20 neglect the body
II intellect and equally 50 to neglect the
piritusl part.
When Or. Toy finished his address,
which was filled with personal expert
nces and "reminiscences, he asked all
n the room over l2 years of age who
would ask for prayers to raise their
ands, and several responded,
Most Of Cews Free Of Disease.
