ON "SIN"'
BY bob" JONES
ONE OF STRONGEST TALKS OF
CAMPAIGN DELIVERED IN
MARTINS FERRY.
Rain interfered to Some Extent With
Crowd. but at That Meetings
Were Largely Attended.

The third week OF the Bob" Jones
revival meetings being held in Mar
tins Ferry came to a close last even
Ing with total of fourteen hundred
and six converts, a record which Is
very gratifying to the evangelist and
mis- party. This number does not In
clude the twelve hundred who came
forward at the conservation services
held at the tabernacle. II does not
include the several hundred OF the
younger children who came forward in
meeting recently The most inter-
esting fact in regard to the converts
Is the large number OF men that have
accepted God since the meetings were
opened. There have been more men
than women that have accepted Jesus
Christ. as Rev. Jones sermons appeal
more to the men than to the women.
A remarkable fact about the number
Of conversions Is the large number 81
adults that have taken the hand of the
evangelist
ried out. the expenses of the cam
paign will be cleared up at the after
noon meetings to be held tomorrow
Last evening there remained only s64
20 be raised to reach the goal set for
the week by Rev. Jones
The inclement weather OF yesterday
had the effect OF keeping down the
attendance. In the afternoon Rev.
Jones completed his sermon on the
Holy Spirit started Monuay after
noon. and In the evening another
strong sermon was delivered. No ser
vices will be held at the tabernacle
this afternoon or evening. as Saturday
is observed as day of rest by the
evangelist and his party. They will
rest to-day so that they may be in
good shape for the big work tnat is to
be done Sunday.
Meeting for Men.
Sunday will be a great day for the
evangelist and his party. No services
will be held at the tabernacle in the
morning as services will be conducted
in the various churches in charge OF
the regular pastors. In the afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock the first of the special
meetings for men will be held at the
tabernacle and IL is expected that the
tabernacle. which will seat $500 peo-
pie. will be crowded to its capacity
Rev. Jones will talk on the "Sins OF
Men" a sermon which he has deliv-
cred in over 100 cities in the different
states in the union. AT the same time
that the evangelist is talking to the
men. Mrs. Allison, who has charge of
the woman's work OF the campaign.
will talk to the women in the First
Presbyterian church. and that meet
ing Is also expected to be largely at
tended.
II is expected that a large meeting
will be held at the tabernacle Sunday
evening. as all of the city officials
and city employees of Martins Ferry
will attend the services and march in
body TO the tabernacle. They will
be joined by the Bridgeport city Off
Gals and city employees.
The members OF the Martins Ferry
fire department will also attend the
meeting Sunday evening. and will
march to the tabernacle. where special
seats will be reserved for them. The
auto trucks will be taken to the street
in front Of the tabernacle to be ready
for use in case an alarm is turned in
Last evening the Foresters OF America
attended the services in a body and a
large number OF the Bridgeport court
were also In attendance.
Evening Service.
The evangelist took for his subject
last evening, Sin" Rev. Jones said
there is no subject in the Bible mis-
understood as much as sin. Few peo-
pie who have Bible know the con-
ception OF sin. In the first place. sal
walton depends on certain things. Be I
lieve a lie and be damned. Our con
science is regulated by what we be- ]
lieve. Some can do things without be-
ing disturbed. Some can steal and !
not be disturbed. Men don't 20 to |
hell because they are murderers: they |
don't go to hell because they are adui- |
terers. Don't believe In the Lord |
Jesus Christ. and you are a sinner |
