THE EARTH's TRAGEDY
Rev. Potter Made the Address Last
Evening and Said That Sin Was
The One Tragedy Of This
World Of ours.

The revival continues to grow in in
terest and attendance. Last night at
The close Of the service, several hands
were raised for prayers. The true
spirit of the revival is taking hold of
the congregation and each one is
preparing to do his of her part to win
victory for the savior of mankind.
Dr. Potter occupies the pulpit Sun.
day and Monday nights. The pulpit
had been occupied by Mr.. Fleming and
Dr. Nc Clellan, and although these
men won tle hearts of the people by
their masterful talks and sermon, the
audience was glad to have their pas

to see men and women saved, once

Earth's Tragedy"
DR.. Potters subject was "Earth's
Tragedy" DIR. Potter said that at one
time God existed alone His wonder

work OF the creation and Gods uni
verse, which he created, is SO great
that our minds cannot comprehend it's
boundries. But God was not salts
fed with this material world. Minds
of high ideals can never be satisfied
with material things. There is only
one thing that will satisfy the soul
and That is love. So God said Let us.

Because He wanted some one to love
Him. ITO love and be loved is the
sum total of earth's pleasures.
God put man in the Garden of Eden
but man disobeyed and at once recog-
nized ais guilt and hid. After we sin
our eyes are always opened to the
fact of our guilt. Because of the sin
God cursed man and for his sake the
ground was cursed.
He and tais wife were pushed out
of the gate nds-the gate guarded that
he might not return.
This constitute the ending OF the
greatest tragedy Of life, the beginning
Of sin.
Sin is the crooked, tne twisted, the
distorted life Any little deviation is
sin and it is these little sins which
are hardest to overcome and which
are most fatal to tle Christian
life.
Sin is also a trangression, or tramp
ling under foot the laws of God. Sin
is rebellion. 1t would even destroy
the throne of God and unseat him.
God is our loving affectionate Heaven
ly Father and sin is a crime against
him.
Sin is failure and man is a fail
nre no matter how high he may rise
In life, if he still is in his sins.
The minister compared sin in it's
attractiveness to the beautiful Sodom
apples which are SO tempting but
crumble to ashes at the touch. He
said there was one universal law,
Sin always brings sorrow" A vivid
picture was drawn Of the ruin sin
,had caused in happy homes and fam
lily circles, of the murders, suicides
and blasted homes with which our
papers are filled all caused by this
little word sin. That's Earti's Trag-
edy What besides sin could cause
such ruin. such heartaches and such
misery. Yet men hug it and resist
every effort Of their closest friends to
separate it from them. 1t is enough
to make angels weep
The minister said that as all had
sinned the only difference between tae
christian and the sinner was the diff
erence made by repentance. If any
