LIFE's GREATEST CRISIS.
Rev. Dr. Sloeun1 Says It's the Quiet Turning Point That Determines Our Career.

Life's Greatest Crisis was the topic upon which Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., spoke at the evening service in the Central Baptist church Sunday. A feature of the service was the special musical programme rendered by the Sunday school orchestra. The text of the sermon was taken from Matt 22: 42. What think ye of Christ?
 Rev Dr. Slocum said in part:
 A crisis is a turning point In a critical moment; a juncture on which depends Q transition to better or worse. IL comes from the Greek word Rpiva, which means to decide A crisis there fore involves decision.
 Every life has its great crisis but the
 great crisis of life is when the claims
 of Jesus Christ are presented and the soul is called upon to decide The danger Is that people do not always recognize the crisis when 1t comes. Lies greatest crisis is not necessarily quiet turning point that determines his whole subsequent career. There are thousands who do not see when the hour or life comes. They do
 not hear the stroke of the bell which announces the hour of their destiny. [ All through the Bible and all through | human history there are these crises | of souls. Some of them have met the | issue bravely and have registered their i decision in favor Of the eternal things. ! ! ages, What will you do with Jesus | No other question compares with it In | importance. The far-reaching conse- | Quences that will flow from this pres | ent carnage in Europe do not justify 1 calling even that the gravest crisis of | life. The great question will still re- f main after the last gun has been fired
 in this present war. What will you do
 with Jesus? We must do something l with Him. It Is not as though we | could do something or onthing. accord | ing to our preference. No, the great I question Is up before every individual ! conscience, and sooner or later we | will all come to the conclusion of
 Peter and say Lord. to whom shall we | go for thou hast the words of eternal | life
 The sermon closed with an appeal l to decide the great issue of life by per- | sonal acceptance of Jesus Christ. Mir | Turner then sang O What Will To Do | With Jesus2
 ! Next Sunday evening pr. l. s. Eirt- ley of Chicago will deliver one of his l famous lecture-sermons at the Central Baptist church, and large attendance
 is anticipated.

NECESSITY OF PENANcE
Emphasized by Christ Himself, Rev. P. J. cuny Says-How Lenten De- nials Discipline the Soul and Win.

At the high mass in St. Patrlcb's church Sunday Rev. Peter J. Cuny preached Lenten sermon on The Ne cessity of Penance. The Saviour said, Except ye do penance ye shall likewise perish. Each Lent furnishes a new opportunity for spiritual advancement and the preacher reminded his hearers that, even though man lives to the spiritual allotment of three score and ten years, for some men each Lent must, of necessity, be their last.
 By making denials of one sort or an other, the soul is disciplined and the will is trained, so as to be able to better resist temptations as they may arise. These denials, whatever they may be-fasting. giving up pleasures, or whatever form of penance the indi- vidual chooses-shOuld be made cheer fully, secretly, without any pharisacial assumption of piety.
 In addition to denials, prayer works Of charity, etc, the preacher recom- mended good reading, the giving up for the forty days of Lent of such light reading as magazines and periodicals, reading instead the Bible, perhaps several chapters of the New Testament daily. No better inspiration to right living can be afforded than that which would result from reading daily the scriptural narration of the events in the life of Christ.
