life brought about by Christ is made
unmistakably evident by a desire to
forsake old sins: an impulse to please
God and to become like Christ: a love
Tor Gods people and the church; a
concern for others who are unsaved
and finally by deep faith in God.
shown by new spirit of prayer and a
study of the Bible
To begin with declared the evan
gelist, when You are truly converted
YOU will straighten up any old grudges
you may have, You will square up your
honest debts and return all stolen
goods. If YOU ever had a fight with
your mother-in-law, wou will forgive
her and ask her pardon. and hence,
forth live in peace with her. You will
also quit scrapping with the neighbors
over the back fence.
Gods Law Versus the States
You will pay every dollar You owe
If YOU are a Christian-if YOU don't.
YOU are hyp0crite. You know YOU
can go into bankruptcy under the state
law and release your debts, but you
can't do that under Gods law: YOU
can't wipe Your slate clean by any
such trickery. There are too many
people running around with other peo-
pies clothes on their backs nowadays
and with groceries in their stomachs
that they haven't paid for.
ou know restitution is a part of
the Bibles teaching and if you have
anything you have obtained dishonesty
YOU will return it when you become
Christian. That is the great squeeze
in Harrisburg right now; some people
are afraid to come to this tabernacle
because they know God will get such
a grip on them that they will have to
come forward, and they are too cow
ardly to face the question.
Some of the men and women on
Capitol Hill could not honestly hit the
trail without giving up their jobs. and
that is the reason they are not en-
thusiastic about this campaign and my
methods. Slough is very great con-
Venience to many people who want to
work off their grouches Sy knocking
something"
Another evidence of conversion
pointed out was winnowing out of inn
proper friends and dropping of some
or the quetfonable clubs and lodges
where the old crowd hangs out"
1t VIII be shown by renovation OF
your home life; I mean literally and
metap phorically. You will start clean
ing in the cellar and go to the attick,
throwing out the cases of beer and
bottles on the sideboard, the card
decks, the suggestive pictures and bad
books that pose as art and literature.
ou will replace them with the family
altar, prayers and the Bible.
Trail Hitters Most Ardent
In speaking of the Christians con-
cern for the unsaved, DR.. Slough said
that most of the recruiting of sinners
IN the campaign has been done by trail
hitters.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE IS QUIET.

and krOnen Rise.

Dealings in foreign exchange yesterday
were light and the tone OF the market was
quiet The feature OF the trading was
the continued rise of marks and kronen
and the considerable easing in the price
of sterling. Foreign exchange brokers en-
planned the ease in sterling by the fact
that there we're no steamers sailing until
Saturday and that as a result considerable
demand sterling was accommodating.
The rise in kronen and marks is eX-
planned by foreign exchange men on the
grounds that there is some liquidation
OF German and Austrian holdings of Amer
lean securities.
Demand closed last night at 4SSa, and
cables at 4.S99s, as compared with 4.S9is
