IN SHIRT SLEEVES,
He INVITES SINNERS
EVANGELIST THROWS OFF HIS
COAT AND ASKS THEM TO
COME TO CHRIST.

Reaching the greatest depth of feel
ing during the whole meeting, the Rev
l.. r. Scarborough, the preacher at the
First Baptist Church last night jerked
off his coat. threw it behind him, and
extended the invitation to sinners IN
his shirt sleeves. Upon the appeal OF
great sermon and the fervent calls
of the minister many came forward
10 give him their hands.
The sermon was upon a part Of
Acts 24:25 as text, the words Of Felix
10 Paul, "at a more convenient season
will call for thee THE trouble
with Felix" he said, was that he sim
ply put Off a grave matter. Sinners
if life are taking extremely great
risks. In the first place they presume
upon the mercy of God. You have
no claim upon Gods mercy, and some
day you will feel the sword of mis-
wrath.
Another great risk you are taking
Is tIldl vi lie. Ou say III lltc tiibN
! shall have ri give my best for
Christ But some men die suddenly
and there are a thousand traps for
your life. The future is not yours,
neither is the past. The only time
that yOu have any claim on is now.
Still another risk is the call OF
God. My spirit shall not always strive
with men You do not know when
God will cease his knock at the door
of your SOUL" this statement being |
emphasized by several actual observa- !
tions in the evangelst's own expert |
ence.
THE final risk is that of feeling. !
Felix for this reason delayed. Feel |
ings are treacherous and it is a dan
gerous thing to depend on them when
God is calling. 1t is not by feelings
that God saves men; it is by faith.
Every saved man is saved because of
some choice; every lost man is lost
because of some choice. | pray that !
you make the right choice tonight"
The subject of the sermon yester-
day morning was The COnquering
Faith" THE elements of this faith,
DR.. Scarborough said, are: Looking
straight in the face of God who is
greater than all the difficulties of life;
counting on the hidden resources OF l
God; counting on the promises of God &
at their full value. If we could take {
Gods promises and cash them at the I
bank for their full value the world 4
could not hold our riches. i
1.-THE results that follow upon a t
faith were emphasized as:
q blessed peace, victory in life, and a
the giving of time, talents and money,
for the sake of Jesus Christ. There
was never a real hero but lived an
nnselfish life. The difference between
one christian and another in the re-
suits of their lives is not difference r
in education, but a difference in faith.
Ny earnest prayer for this church is
hat il may have the conQuering faith.
At the conclusion of the service, DR.. +,
