People do Not Understand the Bible
Teaching Evangelist Fife Says.

From The Daily Item. June Z.
Before large audience last night
at the Christian church, Evangelist
Roger III. Fife. of Kansas City, Mo-,
who Is conducting revival services
there asked the audience how many
or them believed in "Sanctification 2"
Not one present would say that he did.
Then the Evangelist quoted Hebrews
1914: Follow after peace with all
men. and the sanctification, without
which. no man shall see the Lord"
Then he asked. What are you going
to do about that? That Scripture
plainly says that unless you are sane
titled yCu will never see the Lord In
peace. or be saved. Now, how do you
expect to get into heaven?" The aud
ience looked confused, not expecting
such scripture quotation. Then the
evangelist said. II am going to preach
on "Sanctifcation" on Tuesday night,
and want you to hear what the Bible
says on the subject This is one OF
the subjects In the scheme of redemp-
ton. like baptism and the Holy Spir-
It, that the people as a rule know
very little about. and these subjects
are very generally abused, and the
people are not sufficiently Informed on
them"
He will preach tonight on Raising
the Dead" Tomorrow night on Sane
tihcation." and Wednesday night on
the THE Holy Spirit" People are
especially invited to hear the sermons
this week.
Last night Evangelist Fife told his

and why he forsook the churches OF
his parents and kindred TO unite with

known by him and his people at the
first.
AT the close of the sermon the ordi.

The Sumter boys are playing in

rounded out the team into most az

Gamecocks has improved over one
hundred per cent. and their fielding
proportionately. while the team work
has been developed to a noticeable de-

down them.
1t certainly looks good for three
fine games. The visitors are guaran.

series, and it is up to the fans who
want ball here during the entire sum-

properly patronized. 1t is a big helm
to have bunch of rooters behind
any team, and all that the Gamecocks
need to win is a little encouragement.
and since the fans have seen what
kind of ball they can deliver, the
stands and sidelines should be full OF
encouragement of the kind that will
mean series for the following week.
