The third week OF the Hart ana
Magann evangelistic campaign closed
IN Bellaire last night and the result
mas been satisfactory to the Bellaire
Evangelistic association. During the
campaign Rev. Hart has spoken 10
more than 1000 persons and S62 per
sons have professed Christianity. a
record attained by very few other
evangelists.
The meeting last night was enthus-
iastic and n large audience was in
attendance. The evening was devot-
ed TO young people and seats were

How Shall We Eseape7
Last night the evangelist spoke on
ON Is Neglect" When the invita-
uon was given last evening thirty-four
persons came to the front and gave
the evangelist their hand. His anneal
was on the text. How shall we escape
SO great salvation ?"-Hebrews ga.
The Apostle Paul argues from the
less TO the greater. Under the imper.
rect revelation OF Mosaic law every
transgression was punished: how
much more shall be the punishment of
we transgress when We have the ad-
vantage of living in an age OF light
ana truth How much more? For
some things there is more penalty
than for others There is greater
punishment for murder than for lar
ceny. So much more for neglectinR
our eternal welfare than for the ne
elect OF some temporal advantage.
The greatness OF your sin makes
your neglect greater. Its vileness ar
guest an immediate reception OF the
oner OF cleansing. David's sin was
great because David's opportunities
were so great. David knew better, he
he'd been under divine instruction and
favor. II any people have light on sin
and its peril, 1t is the great American
nation. and 10 neglect its great oppor-
tunity Is TO incur a fearful penalty.
This great salvation IS not OF man, but
of God. It's gertaness is seen in that
IL was born In the great loving heart
OF God. backed by his wisdom and his
power
Only One Way.
There is only one way 10 salvation.
There Is no other name under Heaven
by which man can be saved but by
the name OF Jesus The man who
says ] can be saved by my morality
refuses Gods way and therefore in
suits Gods son. The starting point
may be the same and the morality for
a way parallel to faith in Christ. but
like the trains which start at the
same point and run on parallel lines
seven miles out OF Chicago, one
reaches the Atlantic and one the Pa
cifc. destinies as far apart as the
width OF the continent.
The salvation through Jesus
Christ is great salvation. fathom-
less as the sea. glorious as the stars,
hrm as the mountains. wonderful as
the God who planned it, But /
have heard men say religion is for
women and children.
Women More Active.
a man once approached me and
said How Is il. Hart. that church
members are mostl women and chill
dren?" Well said. for the same
reason that so few of them are in the
penitentiary." But Il is not always so
that there are more women active and
influential. but large number OF men
as well.
SO true is Il that man Is blessed by
religion in the ordinary life and r.
the esteem OF his fellows. that no
great infidel has ever held Office in
Washington. II is great In the dis
play OF its power over men. II took
poor shoe clerk. Moody. and made
him one OF the most remarkable
men; II transformed Hadley and Nc
Cauley and Cough. and many others
from an evil life free from sin.
How shall we escape? Neglect
brings death. The Iroauois FIRE. the
JOhnstown flood were both disasters
due TO neglect. Why do you neglect
