Sin by Thoughts as Well as Acts
Repentance Defined.

The largest and best closing week
night meeting of the campaign thus
far was that at the tabernacle Satur-
day evening, when Mr.. Sunday adj
dressed an audience of $500. Mr.. Guest
and Mr.. Hudson, of Springfield, sang.
Mr.. Sundays text was the cry of
David, II have sinned against Thee,
Lord" He said God wrote history
straight and those who compiled the
bible told the story Of it's characters
as they were, the bad with the good.
If designing men had written this Won
derful history they would have left
out the bad men and the revelation of
their wicked lives.
David sinned, he said, but had the
courage and manliness to confess and
was forgiven. Therefore he was "a
man of Gods own heart.
You are not man after Gods own
heart, he declared, because you lack
the manliness to do as David lid.
Would Rather Be Heather.
Mr.. Sunday said he would rather be
the densest heather, worshipping
craven gods, than to live in Marshall
town and not be a believer in God. In
order to resist temptation" he said,
you must keep busy for God. Sin Is
thought out before the sinful act is
committed. Your acts may make you
a criminal before the law, but even
if you think an evil thing you sin,
whether you commit the act or not.
You are a sinner by your thoughts,
but criminal by your acts. 1t requires
grit for preacher to walk up to some
good paying libertine in the church
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1909-05-24

Mr.. Sunday, in calculating his sub
ject said there are too many church
members who never shine for God, that
the world and the church are full OF
HOLSTERS" You had better be a match
burning in the right place than a torch
| that has gone out" he said. Let the
world see your light shine, that Christ
| is In you, then the church will move.
Some people are so anxious to shine
for others that they forget all about the
oil in their own lamps.
Take away religion and nothing on
earth can ever save the world" Mr..
Sunday declared. Morality Is only
the polish on the candle stick. not the
| light. The world is in the dark about
| God, about Jesus and about the bible
Don't look as II your religion hurt you,
as tho your shoes were three sizes too
small. Mix your religion with your
business; let 1t dominate all you do"
Attic 1t was not generally known
! that Mr.. Sunday would conduct an
open-air meeting Saturday afternoon
In tho court house park, q big crowd
assembled there and listened with
rapt attention turnout the serv-
vices. A stage was irnprovised of
two large drays, upon which We're
| placed a row of chairs on which Mr.
Sunday and his party and numbers of
| the Springfield, H.. delegation were
seated. The evangelist led but did not
| preach. Familiar hymns were sung by
all. Mr.. Butler gave a solo thru a meg
aphone. Messrs. Guest and Hudson. Of
Springfield, sang duet, and several OF
| the Springfield men. in response to Mr.
| Sundays request spoke briefly upon
their conversion under his preaching
| the kind of lives they had previously
lived. and how much they were en-
| joying the new life" The service was
enthusiastic and inspiring. At its close
Mr.. Sunday announced that collec-
ton would be taken and the proceeds
turned over to the Salvation Army. He
asked the Springfield crowd to pass the
| hat. Every one of them responded
eagerly and a little over $50 was raised
in three minutes, which was turned
over to the army captain. who ex-
pressed his thanks feelingly.

COLLECTION FOR MRS. MulRHEAo
Offering at Tabernacle Tonight Goes to
the Speaker.

Mrs. Muirhead speaks at the taber-
nacle at 1880 tonight. The meeting is
for everybody, and the collection. which
will be taken will go to the speaker.
According to the agreement Mr.. Sun
day has with the committee the local
promoters of the revival guarantee
Mrs Muirheads salary. This means of
raising it is adopted by Mr. Sunday,
instead of letting the committee pay it
out of the tabernacle receipts. In case
it is not what Mr.. Sunday thinks Mrs.
Muirhead should receive for her work,
he makes up the difference Because of
the collection tonight no Offering was
taken at Sunday nights meeting.

ln-sermon Earnest Appeal.

The largest audience, which has ever
gathered under cover in this city for
any purpose greeted Rev. Mr.. Sunday
at the tabernacle on Sabbath morning.
1t was estimated that $500 were inside
the big wooden building, many hun
dreds Of whom stood packed in the
outside aisles and in the rear of the
building. Probably 1000 or 5000 were
turned away, many of whom came from
a distance.
The tabernacle was filled by 10
o'clock, and from that time on, those
who got in stood UP or, being unable
to get in, they turned away and re-
turned home or walked the streets.
Gives Doctrinal Discourse.
Rev. Mr.. Sundays sermon for the
morning was a doctrinal discourse on
the love the human being should have
for God, and if he had that love he
would keep the Lords commandments
Without that love the church and its
members were without power to do
Gods work. His text was the words of
Jesus as found in John 14:15-16, IF
ye love me, keep my commandments
And will pray the father, and he
shall give you another comforter, that
he may abide with you forever
The Errors Of Some.
His sermon was in part as follows:
IA great many people suppose that
accepting Jesus Christ and Joining the
church is all there is to christianity
believe that step is only the begin
ming, and simply puts YOU over the
threshold into Gods Kingdom.
my message this morning does not
touch on the question of being a
christian, but 1t does touch on the
question of how to be saved and what
you must do. We do not seem to be
impressed with the divinity of God
The Holy Ghost is not an impersonal
pronoun. It Is q real thing in power to-
day as In the time of the pentecost.
Love Christ; Keep Commandments.
IT ye love me- Jesus said, We Will
keep my commandments Jesus prays
only for us if we keep his command-
nicnts. If you will Jesus will petition
the throne Of God in your behalf"
Referring to the filling Of the 5000
Rentecost, the evangelist said: "There
is q deep hearted hungering for tbs
pentecostaf power today. Tell ME VII,
is 1t the church has not the power Of
the old church. 1t is because it is moi
filled with the holy spirit. The spirit,

If you are willing to pay the price.
sThe Holy Ghost came to the pente-
cost and brought the new spirit. Goo
was in the prophets Of old. He seems
to have spoken to the world at thyes
times Of disp snsation. The first Of these
was thru the Mosaic laws. The sec.
ond was when he gave his son Jesus
Christ. The third is now.

and say to him. YOU ARE the fellow
David sinned against his position. You
sin against yours, against your wife,
your mother, your home. David knew
better when he sinned. Every sinner
knows better.
Defines Repentance.
In defining repentance the evangelist
said sorrow for sin is not all. Full re-
pentance comes only thru change of
heart and life and attitude toward God
1t can come only thru being born again.
Criminals in the penitentiary are sor-
ry. not because they broke the law.
but because they got caught. A man
can be absolutely orthodox, he declared
and yet be unsaved. And he is not a
member of Gods church unless he has
been born again. Until you have a
change OF heart there Is no pardon for
you. Baptism. creeds, articles of faith.
nothing will save except the blood of
Christ.
Sins Will Find You Out.
"Re sure your sins will find you out
exclaimed the evangelist. He would
like to emblazon that verse of scripture
all over Marshalltown. and beside it
this: "If YOU confess your sins God will
cast them behind his back He will
never go back of the hour when you
gave your heart to Christ. The lowest

At the next general meeting Of the

probable that a motion will be offered
whereby the solution Of the conserve,
ton OF the county's natural resources
will be solved. at least partially. II
has been suggested by County Super
intendent c. w. Jordan that each trus-
tee plant trees along all turnpikes over
which he has Jurisdiction. or else see
that the property owners along the
roads do so. Mr.. Jordan's plan has
received favorable consideration by q
number Of prominent persons.
Mr.. Jordan's plan. while new to this
country. Is not original. 1t has been
tried with success in a number of
of Europe.
In discussing the subject this morn
ing. Mr.. Jordan stated that in Belgium
the government had ordered fruit trees
planted along the highways and that
last year the profit accruing was So
100000. The poor in that country,
when they can not find work. are tn

Brook Running Through It.
Who ever heard Of chimney two
miles high with brook running
through it? Yet such Il chimney exists
in connection with the copper works
at Cwmavon. near Aberavon. in Ola
morga ushirc south Wales. This Is how
1t came to be built:
About sixty years ago the copper
smoke frsm these works was the
plague OF the neighborins countryside
1t settled upon and destroyed the
grass for twenty miles round. while
the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes
affected the hoofs Of cattle. causing
gangrene. The owners Of the works
tried all sorts OF devices to remedy the
trouble. bu, in vain. Finally Robert
Brenton. who was afterward a sue
cessful railway engineer in lndin. solv-
ed the problem. -..--
The copper works are at the~foot Of
a steep hill. Mr. Rrenton constructed
fiue. or chimney. running continu-
ously from the base to about q hun
dred feet above the summit. following
the natural slope Of the ground. The
brick which lined it and OF which 1t
was largely constructed was burned
close by. A small spring gushing out
near the summit OF the hill was turned
into the chimney and allowed to dow
through almost its entire length to
condense the smoke. Once q year 1t Is
swept out and about ton OF precipi-
tated copper obtained. Its top can be
seen for between forty and City miles.
