FIVE hens four years ago, when with
her husband she moved to their farm
near Talleyville. Mrs. Wolf has stud

poultry husbandry Today she has a
flock of 100 old hens and about zoo
youngsters.

COMES TO DEFENSE OF
MODERN EVANGELISM
Rev. Thomas Says Christ's Work is
Necessary To Bring People
TO Church.

Rev. A. c. Thomas came TO the
defense of modern evangelism dur
ing his sermon last night at the First
Brethren church. He declared that
it was the evangelism of Christ
which is necessary to bring people
10 the church.
Most Of US want TO be saved and
We are so eager 10 be saved that we
forget the manned, the sick and the
blind" said Rev. Thomas
I'VE are talking a great deal about
modern evangelism. Modern evan
gelism is the evangelism of Jesus.
Some one has got to show the way.
I can't believe that when Jesus Christ
left this old world He left His armor
behind. Evangelism, in this age.
must do the work. II must lead
the world to Jesus. Before you be-
came a Christian I'll bet that you
came into personal contact with
someone who showed you the way
to Jesus Christ.
There's great gap between the
man of the world and God, and that
man of the world is not going to see
Him unless somebody fills the gap.
Are you willing to fill that gap and
lead that man 10 Jesus? You and
must take His place in the world.

Folks. the test comes here. Are
you willing TO lead others to Jesus
You can say what you please: it's
New Testament evangelism. Oh. YOU
folks. don't say 10 me that modern
evangelism is not scriptural Too
many OF us think il is up 10 the
preacher, to the evangelist. I would
rather 60 into the home in the work
OF evangelism.
How sad it is TO see a man out
side the kingdom and have them
say. Nobody cared, nobody cared
beg you, I plead with you, give up
your prejudice against personal
evangelism and go out and work"
Rev. Thomas declared that the
support and cooperation Of the mem
bers of the church is necessary 70
bring new ones TO Christianity. and
he urged his people 10 aid in the
work by their personal efforts.
Praise for the work being done by
The News-Times in aiding the city
wide revival campaign was voiced by
Rev. Thomas previous to his sermon
Il certainly appreciate the work that
is being done by The News-Times
and I urge the congregation TO take
the paper" said Rev Thomas.

Hand" was the theme Of the sermon
delivered last night az the Trinity
Presbyterian church By Rev. John
+. Hale.
The kingdom OF heaven said
Rev. Mr. Hale. expressed the pro-
gram OF Jesus for this world It
was His purpose TO clean up the
world unt.l an men should De pure.
honest, loving and revcrent- The
world was far enough from that in
Jesus day and IL still is. Men cam
not yet trust another. even those who
profess 10 be religious are not always
pure In heart But Jesus looked for
ward and planned for that time when
all the worlds life. its politics and
its social life should be clean. when
men should believe i'm one another
as brothers and treat one another IS
brothrs
Jesus proposed 90 do this in two
ways. First. by bringing men one 10y
one 10 God. Second. by organizing
those who are thus converted This
little organization is the church. We
do not join the church first OF an
TO win heaven but that we may build
up the kingdom of purity and fair
dealing on the earth. under the lead
ership OF Jesus. Let as make the
world as Christ would have IT, We
are here to bless our neighbor. be he
jew, Gentle. Catholic or Protestap.
When we do this we shall have ac-
complished the ends Of Christ"

Rev. \. W. LittreII Attacks New
Tangled Ideas i'm Relig-
iOus Efforts.

God won't stand for the movies

gymnasium, or for the special lunch

w. Littrell as he exhorted the con-
gregation OF the quincy Street Bap-
fist church 10 give God the true
place in their hearts.
we have made religion cheap,
We are giving it only our second
hand attention" asserted the speak
er, and ne illustrated by numerous
examples. I'VE don't believe in God
and we do not trust Him. We are
just fooling with God"
He contrasted the amount Of at
tentiOn the average churchgOer
gives 10 the material and 10 the
spiritual things in life. and said the
spiritual things had suffered at the
expense Of transitory pleasure.
Some Of us today think that the
word Of God Is too holy, and It is
for some OF our black hearts" ne
asserted. Some OF us are too gen.
teel, too well educated as We vainly
imagine; someone or something else
is taking the place OF God in our
hearts"
The evangelist then proceeded to
explain away all these difficulties as
sorting that in the word Of God they
could be found.
You can find history, you can
find fiction, you can find drama, you
can find poetry, you can find every
thing in the book of God when you
learn TO know the author, Jesus
Christ"
The clubs have dubbed the
churches TO death; the lodge has
taken the place of God in our lives, -
Numbered Rev. Littrell as he scored
the various material things that are
detracting from the enthusiasm and
the attention that he said should
belong 10 the church.
IF you have a position that is
making you forget God, it is time
that you are leaving that position
and accepting Gods teachings" he
declared.

Rev. D. M. Conn Says Church
0ftimeS Built to Keep
People Away.

That the very best thing in the
world is the religion Of Jesus Christ
was the keynote Of the sermon by
Rev. David McKeein Conn at the
Westminster Presbyterian church
last night.
Religion is not only an idea in
the head, IL is a force in the heart, "
said Rev. Conn. I'm spite OF all the
criticism brought against Christ
church it is the best thing in the
world today. Our cities would be
like hell let loose without the
church"
The modern church is oftentimes
built TO keep people away" he de-
clared. I'VE have our fine music,
and our splendid buildings. and our
thousand other inducements to
bring people TO church, but ! won

CHURCH F0RMALITY
PLACED UNDER FIRE
Church Member and Christian Are
Altogether Different Says
MCkenna.

IF Il person be a true Christian
he is member of the church, but
because he be d member of the
church does not necessarily mean
he is a true Christian" declared Rev.
A. II. McKenna at the EpwOrth Me-
mortal church last night in his SER
mon, "Churchality VS.. Christianity. ="
The sermons purpose was to drive
home the fact that church member
ship and Christianity are altogether
two different things.
Christianity means the living of
Christ's life. rather than observing
the laws laid down by man." as
serted Rev McKenna. land to be a
Christian the principles and rules of
Christ must be followed out in heart
as we'll as in action"
The pastor emphasized the love of
christ for the people of the world,
and Their told how the Pharisees had
been criticized by Christ for their
formality.
There are more churches at this
time than there were at the time of
Christ" continued the pastor. land
the people are on higher level of
intelligence. yet we have an increase
in crime OF all kinds and in divorce.
This is evidence that there is more
formality in the church than true
Christianity. More than one-fourth
of the population OF the country be-
longs TO Protestant or Catholic
churches. yet formality is the basis
for the greater number of church
members"
There was an increase in the at
tendance last night. An afternoon
meeting has been arranged for to-

any more acceptable to Jesus Christ
than human souls"
Newspapers i'm Church.
Rev. Conn then told OF a certain
congregation in an Ohio city which
has its splendid church and it's $40
600 choir. but the people read the
newspaper during services.
Some churches do scarcely any
more good than training a whole lot
OF fool women for the stage" de-
clared Mr.. Conn.
Just as you test anything else by
what 1t produces. so must you test
the church by what It purduces," he
continued He then went on 10 say
that many of the new tangled ideas
that have crept into the church do
not amount TO anything but that one
must not criticise the church as a
whole.
you can't improve on the old
way of getting to heaven. You can't
have a religion for the boulevard
and a religion for the Sums" he
declared.
Rev. Conn then took up some OF
the other evils that are attacking
the life of modern America. He
wildly described the conditions in
Europe and declared that continent
was brought to it's present state Of
woe by the fact that the nations had
forgotten God.
The calamities that have over
taken Europe will surely visit Amer
lea if we do not heed the warning
God has given us in EurCpe's mis-
fortunes" he asserted.
America has the gOld-lust just as
bad as Europe has the blood-lust.
We can't get our eyes off the dollar

mark long enough TO see Cod Mr..
Conn declared. He then went on to
enumerate some OF the besetting
evils OF America. explaining how di-
vorce, crime, immortality and drunk
enness were increasing and quoting
statistics TO back up his assertions.
Sin is Costly.
''Sin is the most costly thing in the
world and the church is the only
antiseptic for crime" he asserted.
I'VE need more dignity in our
courts; fewer laws, but the better
enforcement of those we have. The
only science that has made any adj
vancement in the last generation is
medicine. The legal and even the
preaching professions are still living
in the dark ages"
In conclusion he declared that
after religion and the church, the
home was the greatest factor for re-
form in the modern world. He
touched upon the child problem and
declared that many parents have
time for anything else but 70 teach
their children the principles of right
and wrong. Rev. Conn was partic-
ularly harsh with the clubs He
read a list OF rs wOmen's clubs in
one city. ranging all the way from
a women's Rabbit Foot club TO the
Women's Shakespearian club, and
declared that all the time that was
given TO the club could be much
better spent at home.
