REVIVAL MEETINGS
GETTING WELL ALONG
Rev. Toy Has a Splendid Com
mand of Scriptures.
Sunday Meeting for Men at Rink and
Women'S Meeting at Congregations
al Church Well Attended.

The meetings at the rink have now
been in progress one week. Every
afternoon, except Monday and Satur-
day, ard every evening have seen
large crowds assembling to hear Dr..
Toy preach. IN the evening the choir
is a tremendous drawing card. New
er in the history of the city has such
a choir been assembled as this. Lam
caster has a right to be proud Oh the
work which this chorus is doing. IL
is simply wonderful.
DR.. Toys afternoon addresses are
exceedingly helpful to those VINO are
interested in Bible study. HIS COM
mand of the Bible is wonderful indeed,
his mind and heart being apparently
saturated with it.
Sunday was a red letter day-the be-
ginning of great things. The morning
hour was taken by the various church.
es. their respective pastors preaching
This plan will continue throughout
the meetings. Services being held in
all the churches at 1920. At these
services fine audiences are reported by
all the pastors. In the afternoon there
were three services at 2:3O. One IN
the rink for men only was addressed
bv DR.. Toy, who chose for his theme,
Full Grown Sins" Speaking from
the text. whatsoever a man sOweth
that shall he also reap, he SAID.
Sow whiskey, and reap drunkards;
SOW cards and reap gamblers; SOW
profanity, and reap blasphemers; SOW
adultery and reap adulterers. he
emphasized mans need OF Jesus
Christ to live the nOblest, purest lie.
The liquor traffic was denounced IN
no uncertain tones. The evangelist
congratulated our city on having dis
posed of the saloons and said that he
hoped we should never again be dis
graced by their presence. The social
card game at which the players play
for a prize was condemned with
scathing language 1t was asserted that
such playing is gambling and is
training school for the professional
gambler of later life The prOfane man
was labeled, 1.-The Devils Cheap
Fool" since he is purchased by Satan
without any expense. Nothing is OBJ
tanned by the use of prOfane language.
Hence. the man who curses his way
into hell" is a cheap bargain for the
ruler of the underworld. The white
slave traffic came in for its share at
the hands of DR.. Toy. He asserted
that 70 per cent of the victims of this
nefarious traffic are obtained from
the country and small towns like our
own. and it behooves us all to be
on our guard against this ubiquitous
business. About two hundred men
heard the address. 1t was great
meeting.
At the Congregational church
which was packed to the doors, meet
ing for women was held. Rev. Potts
spoke there. 1t was spirit filled
meeting and at the close twenty wo-
men publicly announced their deter
mination TO accept Christ as their
Savior. As it was a service for Wo-
men only the Herald correspondent is
unable TO give details of the address,
but all those who know Mr.. Potts VIII
be certain that he gave an interesting
and compelling message.
The young people under the leader
ship of Miss Goble, is winning her way
into the hearts of the young people,
and they are coming to recognize IN
her not only a cOnsecrated christian
young lady, but a friend OF every one
of them. Already she has endeared
herself to all of US.
The browning service of the day
was the even ng session. At $50 there
was young peoples service on the
choir platform. conducted by Rev.
Beayin. who spoke of the Rich Young
Ruler. at Ills. A rousing song ser
vice was led by Mr.. Balmond, after
which DR.. Toy delivered a well ar
ranged and thoroughly Biblical ser
mon on MANS Natural Relation to
God" The first man was created in
the image of God, but fell from that
high place and because of that fall
every human being is by nature at
enmity with God, born and shapen IN
sin. And as by one man sin entered
into the world, so by one man shall
we all be made alive. This latter man
is Jesus Christ and without Him 1t is
impossible to come to God. Unless
we confess Him we are lost. IL we
accept the atonement which He made
by His own blood we are freed from
sin and are heirs of eternal life.
powerful appeal to accept Christ
as Savior resulted in about twenty-five
confessions, some of which were re
newals of faith and others profession
of faith for the first time.
You will want to come to these meet
ings regularly if you come once. The
slogan is Lancaster for Christ"
