"Hell-If We Got Our Desserts"
The sermon on Repentance" was
one of the most earnest and sincere
yet made by the evangelist. There
are days when men try to minimize
their sin, but remember, every one of
you is headed for heaven or hell at
this very moment, and no man ever
blasphemed, or stole, or murdered. or
was impure in mind or body but he
was first sinful in his heart The root
of all lies within and the only cure
is a reconstruction of heart, a regener-
alton, a new birth that comes only
through Christ. Away with all miser-
able pretension and mere Church
anity' if you have not been truly born
again. You are not a candidate for
repentance If you are trying to hide
behind someone else. If we all had
our just desserts we would all be in hell
long ago." AS the trailhitters were
coming in he gave short, sharp mes
sages of cheer through his mega
phone and Professor Spooner lead a
group of choristers in hand -clapping
as each one took a seat at the front.
Some Trailhitters
Men were more numerous than on
any other previous night; one party of
hVe strapping young fellows came in
together; another man was lead up
by a boy in short trousers. A young
man who had hit the trail the night
before came with his wife and both
thanked DR.. Slough with happy mod
esty. Another man said, by the help
OF God l have taken my last drink"
He was separated from his wife but
declared he would find her.
One woman said she had hit the
trail in the hope that her family of
seven daughters, two sons and her
husband would follow her example.
One of the trailhitters of Saturday
night was Major Il. w. Pearce, of
Scranton, and a member OF the office
force of Auditor General Powelrs de-
partment on Capitol Hill.
Boys and girls from the high
schools promised to do their best to
tabernacle. A grocer's boy said he
would talk to the people to whom he
delivers groceries. Several boys gave
up pipes and packs of cigarets to
DR.. Slough and promised never to
smoke again; one man just recovering
from a drunk said he had had enough
of booze for lifetime.
Captain of His Own Destiny
The sermon Saturday night was on
the text. What shall I do with Je-
sus?" DR.. Slough said that God never
damns anyone but that everyone must
answer for himself what he will do
with Christ. The world" he said' is
seeking peace, but does not know how
to find what it wants until it bows its
knees at the feet of Christ"
DR.. Slough preached in a pouring
rain yesterday morning to a compara-
lively small audience of church mem-
bers on the subject, THE two-fold
Resurrection He gave a new angle
for looking at the seeming evils of
sickness and death and said that God
often sends these affections to be pro-
moters and creators of faith.
Stough's attractiveness as a lecturer
of the first class was proved again at
the afternoon mass meeting for men
when the tabernacle was jammed and
the entire choir loft filled in spite of
a heavy and steady downpour of rain.
DR.. Slough held the intense interest
of 5000 men for an hour and a half
in a forcefully personal talk that in
cluded scathing denunciations of some
of the double standard of morality and
blamed men with their unbridled lusts
as being the cause of untold misery in
the world.
A Tip to the Colonel
His subject, "Redlights and Search

.he ancient practices of the Aztecs of
sacrificing a number of their finest

md comparing this with the slaught-

statutes to prove this. He said that

The indifference of fathers in pro-
