The evangelist announced that he
would speak tonight on the subject
.of sin. Its Effect and Cure"
Evangelist HaudensehieId spoke
last nieht on the subject OF "I.ife's
Sunset at Midday" The sermon
was graphic word painting Of the
betrayal and crucifixion Of the sa-
Vior. In presenting this theme the
evangelist called into play all the
descriptive power at his command.
aud so faithfully did he adhere 10
details that one could almost see
with the physical eve the scenes in
cident to the greatest tragedy the
world has ever known.
The evangelist used as text the
third verse of the fifteenth chapter
of First Corinthians. For deliv-
cred unto you first of all that which
l also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the
scriptures.
The evangelist went Immediately
into the meat of the subject without
any preliminary details. He told
how that he had read that verse
time after time before he thorough
ly understood its meaning. He said
that he could see in hts magma
ton Christ hanging on the cross.
and declared that If he were to ask
the audience if they believed Christ
died for them he believed all would
answer that they did. He said he
was sure that If he could just get
men TO grip the truth that Christ
died for them all would be drawn
TO him in love.
The evangelist then described the
scenes of the last supper where
Christ told his disciples that he was
TO be betrayed He told how each
disciple in turn asked the Lord If
he was to betray him, and said that
even this question was asked by the
traitor Judas He declared that just
as really and truly as Judas sold his
Lord for a few pieces of money peo-
pie today were selling him for the
pleasures of the world He said the
darkest night the world ever knew
was when Judas betrayed the Son of
God into the hands of sinful men.
He said that there were multitudes
of people in Jerusalem who could
have gone out that night to see the
Savior pass by had they not been off
somewhere engaged in reyelry. He
declared that just as really as
Christ passed that way that night
"he is passing by tonight in a very
strange way" He declared that in
stead of all the prayers, sermons
and pleadings some hearts are go
ing to slip on until he passes by the
last time.
In describing the scenes of the
actual betraying of Christ by Judas
when the Savior was pointed out to
the Roman soldiers by kiss, he
said he believed that up and down
the land the Son of God was being
betrayed by men who profess to love
him. Il am sure" he said, that
the dagger which comes from a sup
posed friend strikes the deepest in
the heart of the Son of God"
He described the mock trials OF
the Savior and told how that he was
finally brought before PLATE for the
second time. and it was up to Plate
to do something with him. Christ
IS on your hands tonight" he said,
land you have got to do something
with him. With all your accom-
plishments unless you stand up and
say you are for the Son of God you
must say you are against him"
The services will begin this eve
ming at 1880.
