STRONG APPEAL rs
MADE no SINNERS
By Evangelist Abberley at the
Special Services at the
Christian Church.

Evangelist Abberley at the Central
Christian church Is already arousing
great interest and enthusiasm, and
an excellent audience heard him last
night on the subject of Gospel
Dynamite. The hearers were deep
ly moved blythe stirring sentences OF
the speaker and in response to the in
vitat!on lady stepped to the front
in accord with the custom of the
church and confessed her faith in
the Son of God. Thus the good work
is already winning its way in tn.
hearts of the people.
Prof. Wood, of Bethany, is an ex-
ccllent performer on the cornet and
leads the song service. Last evening
he also played cornet- solo. Mr..
Wood is in fact an all-around mu-
stefan and plays violin and harp and
the people Of this City will have a
chance to hear him on these instru-
ments.
In the sermon last night Evangelist
Abberley said the Gospel contains
the spiritual dynamics of heaven
and is as able as of old to turn thu
world up-side-down and thus make II
right side up. The power of the
Gospel is in its message of the death
and resurrection of Christ for the
sins of the world.
Tonight the evangelist speakes on
the greatest theme of the Bible. the
Divinity of Jesus, and the sermon
will be illustrated by a chart. The
meetings continue each evening
The song service begins at 1880 and
the preaching at s o'clock, and the
services are growing In power night.

in the special meeting to be held
next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
when Evangelist Abberley will speak

ed the object of the meeting pointing
out the immense value to the
churches OF the community as we'll
as the heather for whom they are
responsible of this great undenom-
national movement to stimulate an
added missionary spirit in all the
churches.
II was decided to hold convene
ton here as the business men at the
meeting felt that West Virginia
would be better touched by a conven-
ton here than anywhere else ON ac-
county of the, central location. A
permanent organization was then ef-
fected. L. X. Richards was elected
chairman and B. Frank Hornor, sec
rotary. A later meeting is planned
at which three iaymen from each
church will be added ito the
committee. 1t is hoped that
delegates will attend from churches

us Of eighty miles. The convention
Will be financed by a small enroll
ment fee. which covers also the cost
Of the opening banquet.
The Laymen's Missionary Move
ment to eyangelize the world In this
generation has formulated plan
whereby the foreign missionary work
of all Protestant denominations may
be so co-ordinated as to cover the
world without overlapping in the
foreign fields.
Seventy-five conventions have been
planned for as many cities In all
parts Of the United States. Two of
the conventions have already met
and have done great things. In
Buffalo. the laymen determined to
increase their contributions to for
eign missions threefold. This was
not a burst Of enthusiasm but a
business-like proposition, for week
I'by week. giving commensurate with
the need. In Cleveland. similar re-
suits accrued. At the opening ban
quet of the convention. 1.4OO men OF
all denominations were seated. They
listened to a masterful presentation
of the ripe fields in foreign lands
and the present obligation God is lay
Ing upon the nation. Two of the
seyenty-five conventions are planned
in this state at Huntington and
Wheeling.

any, is not prompted by desire to
get at the truth in tte matter. else II
would not resort to misrepresenting
men not concerned.
IT says 1t has an authority on the
subject but the fact that 1t has not the
courage to disclose the mans name is
sufficient evidence that 1t does not
seek fair and open discussion of the
injustice 1t Is attempting.
