is evidenced by the successful re-
vivals in progress in the city and sur
rounding country. Three revival
meetings are in progress in the city

First Methodist Episcopal.
Johns testimony OF Jesus" was
the theme from which DIR. H. G. How.
found sermon last evening at the
evangelistic meetings being held at
the First Methodist Episcopal church
on Fairmont avenue.
DR.. Howard was in his best last
night and his sermon was presented in

assembling in this series of meetings.
Evidences are strong that splendid
results will be achieved during the
series of services, now in the second
week.
The problems OF the personal work
ers' league are nobly assisting in the
work and many persons are under
deep conviction of sin and an out
pouring of the spirit is expected at
any time.
Inspiring music by the large chorus
choir added much to the service last
night.

Text: Luke 4:21. "a startled crowd
heard Christ in the Temple utter pro-
phetic gospel of the last era in the
merciful plan OF salvation. Our
trouble is that we do not take seri-
ously the lost condition of man. Try
ing to take all of the fire out of He'll
and make it only a pleasant winter
RESORT
THE trial. terror. conviction, and
sentence of Sam Palma-a fine illus
tration-also proves that our national
preservation depends upon the saliva
ton of men. If Christ were now in
our public affairs we might have less
politics and more prosperity.
1.-The duty we owe to men is to
help save them only, so we can be
saved. Nor can we escape the obliga-
ton to God which leads us to build
up His kingdom.
THE whole gospel has terrors as
well as love. II you enjoy the soft,
warm breeze OF morning in the sum-
mer you will be caught in the storm.
1.-The sermon, the music, the COM
Portable pew, may seem wild, but they
mean that the storm of sorrow, sick
ness and death will come, and. If you
do not find shelter under the shadows
of His love, you will be alone, even
down to the hopeless grave.
This prophecy has been fulfilled
in others. Your day will come. Now
is the acceptable year-the year Of
Jubilee-the time to receive liberty.
only the jury's mercy plea saved
Sam Palma's life.-only Christs plea
can save US, for we are guilty. too"
