GREAT DAY
AT REVIVAL

Christian church. The Sunday schoo
had a large attendance. At the tim,
the count was made the number wa
366. No doubt there were at least 40
at the close OF the school. Great en-
tnusiasm was manifested in every de
partment. Five persons responded TX
an invitation extended at the close ol
the Sunday school.
AT the morning service the house
was comfortably filled The evangel
list spoke on the Monumental lnstitu
tions of Christianity"
Il will mention but three" said the
speaker, The Lords Supper, baptism
and the Lords day These institu.
tions were especially designed to com
memorate, respectively, the death, bur
ial and resurrection of Christ.
The gospel is based on facts-things
that actually happened. Paul said that
these are facts Of the gospel For this
reason, these institutions were or
dained to perpetuate their memory
Christ himself, when he instituted
the Lords Supper, said, AS oft as yon
eat this loaf and drink this cup you
proclaim my death till come"
Concerning baptism, Paul said, We
were buried therefore with him
through baptism into death: that like
us Christ was raised from the dead by
the glory of the Father. so we also
might walk in newness of life.'
The Lords day. or Sunday, is not
a Sabbath day. The seventh day was
the Sabbath, or rest day of the Jews,
They observed 1t because God rested
on the seventh day. After the resur-
rction of Christ. his disciples met on
the first day of the week, not because
God rested, but because Christ rose
on that day."
The baptismal service in the after
noon was very beautiful and impress.
sive. Several persons, who had made
the confession during the meeting
we're baptized by the pastor.
The great service of the day, how
ever. was In the evening when seven
persons responded to the invitation,
and a profound impression was made
on the entire audience, which packed
the large auditorium.
The evangelist preached on Heart
felt Religion" He said in part:
IA religion that is not heartfelt Is
OF no value to the possessor. Christi
anity is supreme heartfelt religion.
The good book says Keep thine heart,
for out Of it are the issues of life
THE Bible tells us that the heart
thinks, understands, reasons. believes,
loves, purposes. etc. Science tells us
that these are the activities Of the
mind, the functions OF which are the
intellect. affections or sensibilities and
the will.
Now, religion that is truly heart
felt, must make an appeal to the in
tellect, for any action motived by the
emotions only is effervescent and Of
short life On the other hand, pure
ly intellectual religion is too cold and
formal to be OF much service to hu-
manity.
The will, which is the great drive
wheel OF our mental machinery, must
also be reached This is, by far. the
greatest task of ALL When. however,
the will has been reached, and the
person has taken a definite stand for
God and right. the conscience is set
at ease and the whole man is made to
rejoice.
"Thus we see that religion to be
truly heartfelt must appeal to. and
reach the entire inner man, including
the intellect, affections, will and con-
seriousness.
The sermon was a masterpiece and
was given the closest attention Pre-
