friend in Abraham and il is a great
blessing for any Christian TO have
one i'm whom he may confide. Many
young men have made shipwrecks
OF their fate i'm Christ, because they
refused 10 cOnfide in a true friend.
Stany young men are making failures
I'm life. because they think their sun
day school teacher or their parents
at home are incapable of imparting
proper instruction.
And so Lot made a disastrous
failure when he parted company
with his tried and true friend. Abra-

TWO CONVERTS AT
FIRST EVANGELICAL

what Are You Waiting For, or
Why Are You Waiting?" was the
topic which Rev. w. II. Freshley of
the First Evangelical church used
for his sermon last evening. The
result of Rev Freshley's appeal was
answered by two conversions.
The text which Mr.. F'reshley dis
cussed was taken from the acts of
the Apostles, 22:16. Excuses" said
the minister, that men are making
now for not having made their de-
cision yet. are all false and can be
easily refuted. Many times a man
will say, l am waiting to be con-
WINGED. 1 am waiting until 1 have
enjoyed the world enough. then
will come. No man will die until he
has suffered and he will not leave
the world without an effort.
81 am waiting for my friends is
a bad type 0f excuse. for if waiting
for his friends for anything else
than to go to church he would glad
~ ask them to join him, but to
church. no, never would he ask them
TO accompany him TO the house of
God.
Gods plan concluded the pas
tor. els to fOrsake our sins, return
to God and live happy thereafter ="
The topic which Rev. Freshley
will discuss at the services this
evening is What Think Ye OF
Christi" or His Second Coming"

From the text. He hath quickened

men are one in the cause OF right

Quoting Matthew 1913. Upon this
rock | shall build my church. and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it," Rev. Castle defined the
church as the collective body OF

READY To
CURE BLINDNESS
Will Open the Spiritual Eyes
of Those Who Asks it
Says Minister.

so Jesus had compassion on them
and touched their eyes, and immedi-
ately their eyes received sight and
they followed Him"
This text formed the basis of the
sermon delivered at Stun Memorial
NJ. E. church last night by Rev.
Arthur v Babbs.
Beginning with a short historical
sketch OF Palestine at the time of
the coming of Christ, the speaker
gave statistics showing that blind
ness was a prevalent disease in that
age. and said that the condition was
nearly the same now.
The chief business Of Jesus is to
open the eyes of the spiritual blind
just as He opened the physical eyes
Of those beggars along the road to
Jericho" said Rev Rabbs. land He
is always willing and able to cure
this spiritual blindness. 1t is to be
noted that Jesus always performed
miracles for others, but we never
read of Him asking mercy or using
His divine power for Himself"
Then he told the story of Sam
sons capture by the Phillistines and
how the latter put out Samson's eyes
in order that his power would be
Iessened This incident was COM
pared to the capture of a strong
spirit by the devil and TO the latter
causing spiritual blindness so that
the captured spirit lost the sight Of
God.
He is passing among you to-
night" continued Rev. Rabbs, and
all that He asks is thar you ask Him
to heal you He has the willingness,
you must have the desire. He is
passing by with hands full Of mercy
and with eyes full of divine love and
tenderness. Your way is plain. The
moment has come VIII you choose
Him ,"
At the close of last nights services
all those who had been received into
the church during the revival lo-m-
ed semi circle in front of the alter
and the entire congregation stepped
forward 10 welcome them into their
organization.
II will be decided tonight whether
or not the services will continue an
other week.
Baptism Of converts will take place
on sunday morning. Feb. 3. The
musical program during the revival
was conducted by Raymond Bra

RELIGION KEEPS
WORLD CIVILIZED
Could Not Continue to Sur
ViVe Unless Men Are
Saved.

The condition OF fallen man is
the lowest because the height from
which he fell was the highest" was
the proposition out OF which Rev.
i. T. Crton built his sermon on The
Greatest Salvation" to the members
of Hope Presbyterian church last
night. One convert responded
The preacher viewed his subject
from various points. Merely from
the worldly viewpoint salvation is
necessary. The whole framework
of society is built on the two great
commandments of God, Thou shalt
love thy God with thy whole heart
with thy whole mind. with thy whole
soul. and thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself" He spoke of the
dire results that follow in the wake
Of the neglect of there all-embrac-
ing commands and maintained that
in order that civilization itself might
survive it is necessary that men
should be saved.
You are not redeemed by gold
nor by silver nor by sacrifice. but by
the blood of the GOd-r1ade man.
The very fact that it required the
death of the Son Of God S sufficient
evidence. He'll with all its cohorts
as we'll as all of the wicked men
Of earth. strove to prevent the re-
demption of the world and its ele-
walton to the lost heights
He spoke of the dormant church,
and showed how it agrees with the
plans Of the devil and is really a
concurrence in the work OF wicked
men.
The interest of heaven. the IN
terest of hell. the interest of all
intelligent men and women prove
that this is the greatest salvation"
exclaimed the preacher in summary
and then he went on 20 show that
the means offered were adequate to
the great task.
He pictured the in provements
that have been made in savages by
the introduction Of the word of God,
and then he turned to our own ex-
perience. I'VE have looked on our
fellow men," he said, $50 besotted.
so bestial and we exclaim. Can these
dead bones live?' Yes, they can
and they do. They are verified by
the words Of Jesus Christ, the Won
der-worker. We all know that in
His gospel there is the power to
turn the mind, hearts and wills Of
men,"

WANTS STREETS
MADE PASSABLE
Lincoln Civic Club Seeks I'm
proVement of Leer and
Calvert.

Members Of the Lincoln Civic CLUB
are centering their efforts now on
the work Of securing an improve
ment Of Leer and Calvert SITS. 1t is
hoped to have the streets paved, but
If paving cannot be secured then
the city will be asked TO lat least
make the streets passable."
The matter was taken up at the
meeting of the club Thursday night.
Pres't William A. SnOor appointed
committee. comprised Of Messrs.
Snyder. Walmer, Heideman and
Hawbitzel. to confer with council
men on the question 1t was the
sentiment at the meeting that the
two streets were in such bad condi-
ton as to place the residents in that
section Of the city in unusual jeop-
ardy in case of fire. In proof of this
it was pointed out that several
months ago one of the pieces of fire
apparatus became stuck in the mud
on one Of those streets.
Aside from the matter of protec-
ton from fire, the members of the
club hold that a better approach to
the Lincoln school should be had.
The question will be brought up
again at the next regular meeting,
Feb "a.
The Lincoln club has approved Of
the purchase Of Rum Village aid a

ment in regard to the purchase Of

the Lincoln club are Messrs. Stout,
HawbitZel and Luther.
on the subject of Politics and
Government" Lem ]. Dare, speak
ing before the club Thursday night
upheld the idea of a single standard
Of morals. He made the application
to politics and government by show
ing that if parents would raise their
sons along the same moral lines as
they raise their daughters there
would be less corruption among
office-seeking men and among voters.
IN addition TO the business meet
ing and the talk by Mr. Dare, there
was an interesting musical program.

JAILER MISSED
HE'LL BY AN INCH
Belief in Jesus Christ Only
True Way to Salvation
Says Minister.

The jailer who attempted suicide
when he found that mis- prisoners at
Phillip had escaped when the earth
quake opened the cell doors. was
revealed by the Rev. Joseph G. Lud-
gate last night at the Grace VI. r.
church as the man who escaped hell
10y an inch. The evangelist said in
part:
The setting for the sermon was the
Jail al Phillip the characters Paul
and Silas ana the Jaiier. who awak-
ened out OF his steep by the earth
quake that shOOE the prison. and
seeing his prisoners all free. drew
out his sword and was about 10
commit suicide BY running the sword
through his heart Thus only one
inch being between him and hell,
for II he had committed suicide he
would nave been lost eternally.
The theme Of the sermon was the
answer Paul made 10 the jailer when
in penitence he fell upon his knees
and cried. "Sirs, what must I do 20
be saved >" The answer was, BE
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ" Not
believe with an historical belief, the
same as one believes in Washington.
Napoleon. Lincoln, or any other his
torical character, for that will not
save the soul.
But believe on Him. he said,
as your personal Saviour. who died
for your sins. and rose again for
your Justification. and will come
fication at the end Of the present dis
pensatiOn.
Belief on Jesus implies the fol
lowing, for without these there can
be no experimental knowledge Of
epentance. restitution, faith,
conservation. confession obedience to
Ills viii, and earnest study of His
word.
Then the soul knows Jesus ex-
perimentally. cOmmunes with Him in
prayer. testihes for Him in the fac
tory. school, store. street. home and
on all occasions, works for Him in
winning others to Himself; thus the
jailer showed his sincere conversion
when he brought water and washed
the stripes on the backs of Paul and
Silds. stripes which he had made
with the lash. Now he tries 10 un-
do his former cruel work and makes
his prisoners comfortable and is
baptized; not only he. but all his
Family.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved"
In the afternoon the evangelist
will deliver the 18th talk on The
Sermon on the Mount" The theme
OF the evening service, when moth
ers' and daughters night will be OBJ
served. is The Inqufsitive Man"
Mothers and daughters will sit to-
gether and viii have the place of
honor in the center section Of the
church. while the men will take the
side sections.
