DIR. George W. Kcmpcr breaches
ForoefuI Sermon To Third Chris
tian Congregation.

Making an earnest appeal for lost
souls, DR.. George w. kemper preach
ed a forccful sermon last night In
Third Christian Church, starting on
tho second week of the special evan
gelistic services in the East End
Church. He told of the sacrifices that
must be made and the price that will
have to be paid by those who refuse
TO acknowledge Christ DR.. Kemper
said in part:
THE great trouble with the people
of this age is that they do not take
time to think This is especially true
of young people who go into things
blindfolded and come out with blight
ed hopes, broken hearts and blasted
lives Many a young life has been
ruined because of reconsideration,
which has meant the downfall OF both
happiness and success. Nowhere Is
this thoughtless spirit more fatal than
In the matter OF the souls eternal
destiny. The great majority of the
unconverted in the world today do not
seem to realize what II means to live
without Jesus Christ in this life. A
failure to confess Him means not
only an empty life in this world, but
lost soul in the next.
Essential to Happiness
There are some things which are
really essential to happiness in this
life which must be sacrificed when we
refuse to accept Jesus Christ rs our
Saviour. Hope and Joy and peace
In this life, as we'll as tho acknowl-
edgment of Christ in the world to
come, will result from this refusal.
Strange that 80 many people are will
ing TO pay the price, Judas Iscariot
paid II: the rich young ruler paid IT.
and hundreds of others in the CEN
turtles that have come and gone have
made the same sacrifice"
Dr. Kemper closed with an earnest
appeal to the unconverted to turn from
sin to Him alone who has the power
to forgive.
Hts sermon was followed by the
singing of the old hymn. There Is n
Fountain Filled With Blood" by the
entire congre cation.
a feature of the services was a duet
by Mr.. and Mrs j. r. Hooper and a
solo by y. y. Riehwine. The congre-
Eational singing was under the direc-
ton of Alderman w, II. Adams, as
sisted by a chorus choir.
Much interest is being manifested
in Or. Kemper's forceful sermons. and
from present indications the revival

get the undivided attention of his

DR.. ASbURY CHRISTIAN
ASSUMES NEW DUTIES
Starts Work for Emory College by
Getting More Than Thousand
Dollars In Union Station

DR.. Ashury Christian who closed
his four years at Union Station Meth
odist Church at the late conference,
and who was assigned by Bishop Xii
80 commissioner OF Emory University.
began his work at that church yester-
day. DR. Christian preached to a
largo aggregation from the text: Il
must work the works of Him Who
sent mo while II is called today; the
night cometh when no man can work. ''
After the sermon DR. Christian spoke
OF his work for the endowment of
the chair OF missions in the theologt-
cal school OF Emory University. and
said 1t was very fitting that ne should
begin the worl, at his old church.
He then asked the congregation to
give him Ave hundred dollars They
responded literally and when the sub
ecriptions were added up they totnled
over one thousand dollars. The
preacher and congregation were great
~ affeoted and there was general re-
joicing.
DR., Christian said that the generous
gift from Union Station. which had
not rich man. and where no one
gave over twenty-five dollars, proved
the loyalty OF this great church to
Methodlsm and It's affection for him.
very touching incident occurred
when the collection was about to be
taken. A lady arose and said that
she was not able to give much money
TO the cause Of missions, but that she
had given tho Jewel OF home to the
work in China. her only daughter.
and that she and her class would give
$40 for the chair OF missonA
Or. Christian was much encouraged
by this generous response the first
day OF his new work
DR.. NJ s Coionna has been as
signed to Union Station Church and
expects to arrive Friday. The people
are preparing to give him warm
and hearty welcome.
