Church Revival Services.
Rev. Thomas Harrison Delivers In

Interest in the revival services in prog
ress at Hamline NJ. T. Church has in
creased to such an extent that hundreds
of persons were unable 20 obtain admit
tance last night. when Rev. Thomas Har-
rison, the evangelist. delivered a sermon
on What Shall l Do to Be Saved?" The
pews were filled before the services be
gan, and chairs We're placed i'm the aisles.
Mr.. Harrison said that We do not go
far on our daily trail without meeting
trouble
Doubts arise on every hand. he
stated, and there are skeletons in every
closet. When fires are bright and busi-
ness is good, men do not think OF spiritual
things. Sin is the trouble of all troubles.
How many days are joyful against the
unhappy ones? Lord Byron wrote that
he had only twelve happy days in his
mature life. Although men strive for
social recognition, they seldom strive for
soul rest.
The mistake of many is that they make
miscalculations. The storm is coming.

is certain. There is no clock in heaven:

THE question is sometimes asked. Why
did God let sin in the world? You need
not worry about that, but you should
try to get the sin out of your hearts"
Rev, Dr. Guthrie, pastor Of Hamline
Church. stated that a question which has
held the attention of all the churches i'm
Washington had been settled before the
excise board Saturday. when a license
was granted for saloon on Ninth street
opposite the Business High School.
Notwithstanding the arguments of the
ministers and laymen protesting against
the saloon. said Dr. Guthrie; ''notwith-
standing the petition of the 625 students
protesting against its location. the board
has announced what unquestionably was
their predetermined intention TO license
the saloon. A righteous Indignation has
gone up throughout the city. and will
continue to manifest itself against the
action Of the excise board.
Definite action on the question of con

meeting.
