number were present at the revival SER
vices at the Methodist Episcopal church
last night. The song service was up
lifting and very helpful. The sermon
preached by Evangelist McClurkan, on
Why l Am Not Ashamed of the Cos
pel,' from Romans I:16-'For am
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,
for it is the power of God unto Saliva
tion to every one that believeth,' was
one of the greatest, if not the greatest,
delivered by the evangelist during the
present series of meetings. / am only
a poor Methodist preacher, but after
hearing this sermon last night / said /
would be willing to give $25 if the
business and professional men of Win
nemucca could have heard that sermon.
Mr.. McClurkan said in part:
The Gospel of Christ is powerful be-
cause it is able to transform the lives
of men and women. Because it is able
to save us from SIM
He cited its transforming power upon
the lives of such men as Jacob, David,
Peter, the Galean fisherman, Saul of
Tarsus, who became Paul the great
apostle, John Bunyon, who wrote "Pil-
grims' Progress the book that stands
next to the Bible, d. L.. Moody, who
won over 100000 souls to Christ, Sam
Jones, the great southern evangelist,
and VIM. Sunday, the converted base
ball player, who in the last six years
has won over 100000 souls to Christ.
He said 81 am not ashamed of the
church, / am glad am a member of
the church. The best people in the
haln % al,
ashamed of what the church is accom-
plishing. You say, too many hypo
critics in the church. Yes, but where
you show me one hypocrite in the church
IN show one hundred outside of the
church. Our nation is a powerful ma
tion because it is a Christian nation.
Our laws are founded ON the Bible.
All the great civilized nations are
Christian nations. There are no power
full nations that are not Christian.
Nearly all the great universities
have been founded by the church. The
great missions have been founded by
the church. Nearly all the great chari-
table institutions have been founded
by the church. The Crittenden and
other Rescue Homes have been found
ed by the men and women Of the
church.
81 IN not ashamed of the men the
gospel produces. The great statesmen,
the leading college presidents and pro-
fessors, many of the greatest business
men of the world have been and are
products of the power of the gospel.
| I'm not ashamed of Christ. I'm not
ashamed Of my mother Christianity"
