Holy Spirit, His
 Person and His Work

reason why you should come to Christ just as quickly as you can. There isn't man or woman on earth good enough to come to Christ on their own merits. Christ saved Saul of Tarsus, the chief of sinners. and he has been saving sinners ever since. There Is not a man or woman in Montgomery who Is so bad but what Christ can save them.
 some persoEs say. am waiting until I feel sure that will be able to stick to It. It isn't a question of whether you can hold out or not; 1t is q. question of Jesus Christ keeping hold of you. He can hold man or woman mat gives themselves absolutely to Him forever. There isn't a .man or woman capable. of holding out through twenty-four hours of Christianity alone.
 Some people say, T am waiting for something that l would not do if l were a Christian. After I do that one thing, I will become a Christian It Is some social engagement, some ques : tionable business proposition, or per haps, some political plan. But if you put anything first before Jesus Christ, you will lose your soul. Jesus said, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God God will not take second place to eith- CT social engagements, business deals or political plans. To put Him in that place means the loss of your spul. You cannot trife with God
 Then there are good many people right here in Montgomery who say, I am waiting until I die. I am going to live just as long as l can, and then when the time comes for this life to end, will become Christian. I will ask those persons who make that an- swer. three questions: First. Have you any guarantee that you will not die tonight? Secondly, Have you any guarantee that when you do come to die you will not die suddenly? And in the third place. have you Any guaran- tee that should you by chance die slowly you will feel like repentance l? From all of my experience with dying persons. l saw that the death bed Is the poorest place for repentance on earth. There lis one chance out of a hundred that a man er woman will repent and take Christ on the dea tn bed. The time to repent is now. Death. in the majority, of cases. comes quickly and gives you no time to save your soul, and if it does come slowly the chances are that yon will not have the desire to accept Christ"

CAUGHT IN THEATRE
DUDLEY ENSON ACCUSED OF EN-
 BEZZLEMENT.
Tn montgomery for First Time Tn Year, fs Arrested on Warrant Almost Twelve Months
 Old

Tn Montgomery for the first time af- ter yearss time spent in the employ Of the Unsed States Government in the Panama Canal Zone, Dudley Enson was last night arrested by Police Cap tain Miles Smith, assisted by officers Canty Cloud and Constable Tunstall Crossland. The charge upon which the young man was arrested Is embezzle- ment. He was taken to the county jail. where he was placed under of a bond of $1,500, which. at late hour last night. had not been made
 The circumstances surrounding the arrest of Enson were most peculiar Having received word that Enson would stop by Montgomery on his way north from the Panama Canal. Consta- ble Crossland laid in wait for his man. He tracked his game all over Dexter Avenue and Commerce Street during the afternoon. finally locating him at one of the hotels.
 At the hotel 1t was learned that the young man had gone to ,he theatre Ohcers immediately went to the theatre. and during one of the scenes. when the lights were dim Captain smith quietly informed Enson that he was under arrest, and must leave the theatre after the act.
 Enson left the theatre without call ing attention to himself, but remarked to the officer that he would make someone pay for the outrage"
 The warrant upon which the young man was arrested was sworn out by w. T. Chandler, Jr., of this city, and charges specifically the emb excitement or $S,000. u was stated by an author ity that Enson had so manipula ted bills of lading in a packing house of Montgomery that $3.000 had been SC cured before suspicion had been aroused.
 Enson, in the meanwhile, had accent ed a government position In the Pan anna Canal Zone. and had left Mont gomery. The matter was therefore dropped until more convenient time.
 Enson's preliminary hearing will be before Justice of the Peace Nat Wal Ter, within ten days.

crime of the Blues. He made announce ment that because of a change in his duties he was forced to relinquish ms commission in the Blues, the service in which had been one of the most pleasant incidents In his life.
 Captain J. H. Paterson. recently ap.. pointed to the head of the Alabama Signal Corps, spoke briefly on that branch of the service. He took occa- sion to compliment the Blues on the fact that the officers at Camp William II. Taft unanimously agreed that the Montgomery True Blues was easily the most efficient company which had at tended the manouvers.
 Captain C. P Rogers. of Letohatchie, spoke on The Blues of '61." He re- viewed the happy associations as well as the arduous duties of those days. He. too, was astonished to learn that the ranks of his company had been re- dueed somewhat by the threats Of mer- chants to discharge men who belonged to military companies.
 If l knew of such man." he said, T would never buy yard of cloth or a pound of goods from him. said Cap tain Rodgers.
 Captain W. F. Lee,> of the Cover nor's Guard, delivered happy speech on the cavalry branch of the service. He spoke, too. of the delight that oth- CT members of the Montgomery mill tary felt In being present at the an- nuai dinner of the Blues.
 The Enlisted Man, the Backbone of the Service" was responded to by Ser geant Roy Brewer. He handled the subject admirably and his associate en- listed men greeted his remarks with enthusiasm.
 graceful speech was made by Judge John A. Elmore, a former lieutenant of the company. He was proud of the fact that since the company was or ganized in 1886 the company rolls had always borne the name of at least one Fillmore. He paid an eloquent tribute to the veterans who were assembled about the board. The company from It's beginning was one to be connected with which any man might be proud.
 This closed the speaking and 1t be- ing nearly midnight the crowd broke up, and all in leaving agreed that it was a most happy, occasion.

AFTERNOON SERVICE.

His talk yesterday afternoon on The Personality of the Holy Spirit" was. as he expressed it, in closing. his in troduction of the church members of Montgomery to "his friend, the Holy Ghost" He said that it makes all the difference in the world whether Chris tians conceive of the Holy Spirit as a theory or as reality, as an idea or as a person. He said, in part:
 The personality of the Holy Spirit is of the highest importance for three reasons; in the first place from the standpoint of worship. People can worship a person better than they can worship theory. It would not bother them very much to neglect an Idea, but 1t would hurt their conscieneesA If they thought that by neglecting worship, they were hurting the tenderest, truest most faithful and constant friend that they had. It is the same difference that is seen in the singing of mere words and in worship of song
 Tn the second place, the personality of the Holy Spirit is of the highest importance from practical standpoint. Instead of something for people to get hold of and use, it is Someone that gets hold of and uses you. The imperson- ality of the Holy Spirit is a purely pa gan idea; the Personality of the Holy Spirit is essentially and pre-eminently a Christian conception. So, man in- stead of thinking how much of the Holy Spirit he can get hold of and how much influence and power he can exercise over it, thinks. ~~'How much will He get hold of me, and how will He use me to suit His purposes?
 Tn the third place, the Personality of the Holy Spirit is of the highest im- portance from a mental standpoint, It causes a total transformation of the whole mental experience.
 The proofs of the personality of the Holy Spirit" concluded pr. Torrey "are found all through the Bible. A person must have three attributes; ne must have knowledge, he must feel and he must have will In the Bible we find that the Holy Spirit has ali three. Some people think that a per- son must have hands and feet That Is wrong. The Holy Spirit is Being which dwells within us and uses us for Ills benefcent purposes. And he is not merely person of beneticent influ ences. hut of the tenderest love. A Person just as loving as God. the Fath- CT, and just as tender Christ, the Son. And this holy One. this sensi- tive One. this loving One, who is all ways with us; if He sees a word fleeting thought, a single deed that Is not holy, he is more hurt by 1t than the most loving mother ever could be by the monstrous sins of her son. He dwells In your heart and in mine and he is always with us.
 { That Is one of the sweetest thoughts in the Bible, that I have, as a com panion, the HolX Spirit, just as divine, just as loving. 1nst as mighty. just as helpful and willing to help as Jesus. If He gets into your hearts and stays there you will never have another lone ly moment in your lives. He Is a cure for heartache, and a cure for fear He is the greatest help in Christian work.
