Jesus Christ and you have committed
the objectionable sin.
THE holy spirit never acts directly
on the hearts of men. The spirit must
have something like a sermon, song.
or aword to reach and convict the sim
ner. God can not forgive you unless
you accept Jesus Christ.
How do you know YOU have COM
mitted this sin? 1t usually shows 1T
self in one of two ways. One is bitter
malignity toward religious things. You
take a sinful man, and nothing disturbs
him so much as thousands attending a
revival like this. u If you know men
who are bitter against religion, you
may know that they have said no to
God and he has left them. Another
manner of showing 1t is utter indiffer-
ence to the word or authority Of God"
'Derides Death Bed Repentanoes.
Branching from this subject, MT.
Sunday derided death bed repentances.
81 do not go much on the so-called
death bed repentance. have not much
use for the fellow whom you have tried
to save and who has refused, while he
had his strength to work for God. and
who, when he comes to his death bed,
repents and hands to God the useless
dregs Of his life. When your friends or
relatives die in sin, do not expect the
preacher to come and preach him into
heaven, when you know what he lived
to go to hell.
Ordinarily, man dies as he lives.
If you know how a man lived, you
know how he died.
Confession Means Forgiveness.
ST say to you God can not forgive
any man Of his sins unless that man
will receive Jesus Christ. II he does
that book is not worth the paper 1t is
written on. He can not do 1t unless
you repent.
"He tells you that he is willing to
forgive you for any sin IL you will re-
pent. do mot care how big or how
great your sins are he will fogive them
If you repent. But do not care how
small they are he will not forgive you
unless you repent. So If you persist in
taking your sins and going to hell with
them you will have to CO.
you might as well try to reason a
boil off the back of your neck as rea-
SON yourself into religion. God APP
peals to the sensibilities and not to the
heart. The way into the Kingdom is
heart first and not head first"
Has Christians Stand Up.
To demonstrate his argument that a
vast majority of those who Were con-
verified were brought to Christ before
they were 80 years Of age, he asked
the christians to stand up. Then by
classes, according to age, he had them
sit down. OF the hundreds who stood
up only twentyfour had been convert

LOVERS PROPOSALS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

E New York. Dec. se.--Preparations were in progress, last week to meet the heavy obligations incident to the January disbursements. the total of which in New York Is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $225.000,oVO. The banking week included also the nearly 25,00O,0o0 on account of Penn sylyania New York subscriptions and on Monday sf2.6oo.000 for New York. New Haven and Hartford stock.
 There were heavy remittances to foreign markets to meet payments of dividends and interest to holders Of American securities. go that it was a question until the middle of, the week whether gold, shipments to London would not have to be made.
 A sharp relapse. In exchange rates occurred after the sailing of the last steamer which would make deliveries In London in time for New Years.
 There was thus revealed specula tive position in the exchange market itself, where the demand incident to the year-end remittances had been over-estinsted.
 It was believed that advances from the Bank of France to the London market helped to obviate the call on New York for gold.
 The future problems of the money market include London'g obligation to reimburse Paris for these advances, maturities of foreign loans to Amer. lean borrowers, which may require gold exports from New York in Jam uary and some further corporation financing demanding large subscrip- ton payments in January.
 Volatile rises occurred in individual stocks. mostly from vaguely rumored causes, but there were enough divi- dend increases to keep up a hopeful spirit among stockholders and to serve as a reliable index of the progress of prosperity in enterprise and business.
 Shading in the prospect was furnish ed by some factors. The census bu- reau's cotton ginning estimate was re- garded as confirmatory of the agri- cultural departments, in view of the cotton crop shortage, and tho rise in the price of cotton to above Is cents pointed to the causes responsible for the high cost of living and the disad- vantAges thus involved.
 This question was given added in- terest by the steps taken by railroad employees to formulate demands for an increase In wages early in the coming year. Sentiment is not free from ap- prehension that labor troubles may have to be reckoned with in the pro- gress of reaching settlements.
 The same is true Of the subject of legislative and executive activity in the direction of corporation reguia ton, which promses to be brought forward early in the coming year by means of special messages from the President.
 The speculative outlook Is regarded as sufficiently mixed. after balancing these conflicting factors. to prompt caution in commitments and to leave the stock market in its present dull and inert state.

County work of road building was con- fined almost exclusively to limited radius about Montgomery city proper and in no case extending to greater
