Bob Jones last night, ito paint "a pic

with the sweat like drops of blood on
mis- brow as He contemplated what
was to come lin that lonely hour Of
the Garden: then as he hung On the
cross on Calvary. with pierced hands,
those loving hands that performed SO
many deeds OF kindness, and pinioned
feet-those feet that never made a
selfish step, that cheerfully walked
twenty-five miles to heal the wound
ed heart OF a widow who had lost her
son, that Saviour whose heart was u
stranger to malice and strife, and
whose heart was broken on the cross
for you and me-" How can you help
but love Him?"
Every man. according to Mr.. Jones,
should hold up before Him the vision
of Christ on Calvary and the decision
to trust Christ. He who bore in one
short space of time the whole worlds

and a cheerful one.
Mr.. Jones took his text last night
from the Esd chapter Of st. Luke
where Christ tells the thief who be-
lieved In Him. after first being skep-
tlcal. This day thou shalt be with me
I'm Paradise" The evangelist then
went on TO show how I'm one moment

nave another dance in this town"
Sin bears a strong resemblance to
IRE In the way it destroys. If your
nome is on fire the flames will DESTROY
your own mothers picture, or any
other cherished object with ruthless
licking of its forked tongues. In fact.
Ike fire, sin seems to always get the
oest man In community, and leaves
the "runts Of society" And sin de-.
stroys all. You can't regulate sin. If
1t gets its grip on you, it will destroy,
honor, responsibility. the marriage
VOWS, everything, without respect to
person. Sin destroys quickly and.
doesn't take long to clean up a whole
family. There's a man in this town
i've tried hard TO save, you lust
watch; it won't take twelve months
for sin to destroy him." Sin is hard to
put out. You can't do it; you NAV as
we'll try TO put out hell with a buck
ct OF water" But, like fire again.
there is something that can put sin
out, and that something is the precious
water of life. Sin is a constitutional
disease, deep rooted and it takes the
power of Jesus to destroy it. He is the
one remedy. Accept his saving grace.
and sin will forever be banished from
the portals of your heart.

The Night Service.

Probably Sumter people heard Bob
Jones at his best last night. At any
rate the sermon which he delivered
seemed to make an unusually strong
impression and certainly it was one
of the best ever heard in this city. The
text came from the 29th chapter of
Proverbs, the first verse, 'He that be-
ing often reproved hardeneth his
neck, shall be suddenly destroyed,
and that without remedy" Mr.. Jones
said that whatever these words meant,
they were coming true here in Sumter
just as they had in other cities and
towns where he had been. God has
gelist said. The gospel is one meth
Cd, and by this is meant the spoken
or written gospel. Sometimes you
have thouhgt that the preacher was
preaching right at YOU" That was
Gods message to you to hold up on
some sin you were committing. ct
who have criticised me, and called me
commercial and CRATER, and the
reason is because they have had their
'consciences stricken because 1 have
spoken straight to them" Sensation
al? Well there's nothing more sensa-
tional than Gods warnings to men as
set forth in the Bible. He has posted
every road to ruin with q red nag by
day and a lantern by night. Read
your Bible, let it be your guide.
God reproves through the human
conscience. OF course, for your con-
science to be your guide, your creed
must be right. 1t is in every mans
soul to pine for the infinite. Your
soul can't be satisfied with the COM
monplace things like pleasure and
money. Your heart says: Give me
Cod" and you better not ignore that
yearning."
God reproves through special provi-
dences. God has to break the hearts
of some people before they. will hear
Him." Some men ask Gods help
when sick or when their loved ones
are ill and then, when strength is re-
stored, forget their promises to God.
God will warn you sometime for the
last time, with special providence in
your own home or your own life-"I
believe God is speaking for the last
time to precious souls in this city,
The work of the Holy Spirit, whis-
pering in your ears Get Right With
Cod is another way God has Of re-
proving. It's the Holy Spirit that
keeps you awake at night, thinking Of
the sins you have committed. You'd
better stop. You'll go too far some
day, and there are some things that
love won't bear, not even the love of
an infinite God" IL call you preach
ers to Witness" said Mr.. Jones that
this text will come true in Sumter.
In the pathway of these campaigns
men who have rebelled against God
have found sudden death awaiting
them. l see the red light of danger
across your path-stop tonight"
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1915-05-26

society man or to the bum. "He can
touch your life and make 1t as beauti-
ful as morning, as pure as a dew
drop, and as sweet as the flowers. ."
The Masters touch will put your life
in tune with heaven.
Mr.. Jones then extended the invita-
ton for converts, and many came to
the Mercy Seat.

lars more of a cash balance this year
than last year; that it has redeemed
$24 900 worth Of its bonds; set aside
more than $4,000 in its sinking
funds: $4,000 for the construction of
its share of the State road in South
Hanover township; nearly $1,000 for
the erection OF a new bridge at Mill
lersburg and more than $1,000 for a
concrete Viaduct across the Swatara
at Middletown.
Never in Better Shape Financially
Furthermore. all the usual running
expenses OF the county were kept up
and the usual repairs and improve
ments were made.
Il think" said Controller Cough in
commenting on the report to-day,
that it can safely be said that Dau-
phin county was never in better shape.
The condition speaks well for the
budget. the preparation of which we
will now get busy with This will be
ready within a week, we hope. With
the presentation of the budget, of
course. will be fixed the mill rate for
the ensuing year. That there will be
no increase is certain; whether or not
there will be a decrease it is impos-
sible to say just now
The present county tax rate is
4 mills.
Controller Coughs report covers
twenty-one typewriter pages and
deals in detail with every phase of
county finances. After showing the
exact status financially Mr.. Cough con-
cludes with q summary of resources
and liabilities that shows just how
Dauphin county stands at the begin
ming of the present year. incidentally
it required but five days work to get
up the report. The county auditors
worked on a similar statement for
something like nineteen weeks.
S253,022 in Sinking Funds
In summarizing his report Mr.
Cough shows the bonded Indebtedness
as follows: 1901 debt. s249.000; 1902,
s51 900; 1908, 1921, 900, a total gross
debt of s421 900. In the sinking funds,
however, there is a total of $3.50, ,022.52,
leaving a net bonded Indebtedness of
167,977.4S.
In setting forth the resources Mr.
Cough has taken the realty figures of
the previous years. which show that
the county is worth just 81. 1853. sol. .43
When the bonded debt of $421,000 is
subtracted from this the surplus of re-
sources over liabilities is shown to be
sS4S. S.501.43. The resources in detail
include the following:
Courthouse and grounds, $4,000;
