SAYS MISERY IS
SUMMED UP IN Sin
Gypsy Smith Warns Young
Women TO Beware of
the Dance
PYTHIANS TO HEAR
SERMON TOMORROW

The Rev. Gipsy Smith in Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church last evening,
preached his most eloquent sermon Of
the series.
Mr.. Smith read for the lesson the
twenty-seventh chapter OF Acts and
took for his text the ninth verse:
"Now when much time was spent and
when sailing was dangerous" Mr..
Smith said Paul was on his journey
to Rome to be tried before Caesar. He
pictured Paul in chains, sore and COW
cred with body marks. He said Paul
nor the captain of the boat did not un-
derstand navigation, but Paul had
strong faith in God.
Life requires two things of us:
Duty and Responsibility" said Mr..
Smith. Most of you start out on LIE
and do not know where the dangers
are, the hidden wrecks or the sand
bars, and tonight | want you TO ask
yourself three questions: Where did
you come from? Why are you here?
and Where are you going? Yesterday
you came out of the unknown; to-
day, you are a flight through time
and tomorrow you go into eternity.
have no use for you If you claim that
box put six feet under ground is
the end. If God can make "A beautiful
butterfly out of a worm, He can make
a smiling being out of you. God gave
you your full powers, he gave you the
power to stand up and say want to

your own way, but by so doing you
will so down. Listenl You need His
aid. You cannot so through life with
out God Almighty. If you do you will
lose out. l offer you tonight God Al
mighty.
"Listenl You girls who think you
know the young men you dance with
ought to hear them talk when they go
out to smoke. If you could hear
them talk you would not dance with
them. You think the dance is beauti-
full, but the Devil is only using il as
bait to reach you and cause you TO
sink in sin and go down and down
to the bitter end. When a girl
reaches this stage she loses heart
and says that nobody cares. You are
a fool to play or compromise with sin
because you are sure TO lose out.
Give me the three letters of SIN and
| will spell you all the misery and
heartaches of the world. If sin could
get to Heaven God would have tC
serve spades to angels. but sin mol
the Devil do not exist there"
The prayer meeting for women will
be held this afternoon at the home OF
Mrs. J. c. Green. No. 1920 Washington
street. and prayer meeting for all will
be held i'm the church tonight.
Mr. Smith will preach every even
ing this week at 7.45 O'Clock, with tho
exception of Saturday. On Saturday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock Miss Hen
