Water Alone Cannot Make
Men Christians Says Rev.
w. H. FreShIey.

Eight persons. five of them little

at the rail before him.
Baptism alone does not save peo-
pie" he remarked. Pouring water
over a mans head cannot make him
a Christian. 1t is merely a type that
points us to the blood of Jesus,
which will cleanse us from all our
sins"
Rev. Freshley took for the even

winneth souls is wise"
All Definitions Differ.
doctor, lawyer. or all the men of
the various occupations. for their
definition of a wise man, they will
undoubtedly all give different ones.
Each man will regard the most sue
cessful man in his own particular
profession as the wisest man. 1t is
not so with God, who pays no atten-
ton to the jobs that lead only to our
material comfort. but rather to the
biggest job in the universe-that of
bringing men back to Christ.
There are five good reasons why
we should make soul winning the
chief object Of our lives. First. it
Is the work that Jesus commanded
US TO do, Go we into all the world
and preach the gospel to every ma
ton Second. because il was the
business of our Lord, who laid aside
His heavenly majesty to be scoffed
at, spat upon and crucifed. all for
the sake of winning back those who
had been lost Third, it is only after
saving a soul that we can realize the
fullness of the Holy Spirit. If we
possess Him in all His fullness we
will need nothing else. The drunk
ard woh gets religion and is Jealous
for the saving of souls will find that
it is the best Keely cure on earth /:
and fifth, because of the great joy
that winning souls will bring into
our lives. They that win many to
righteousness shall shine as the
brightness OF the armament a."

PAINTING BASIS
USED IN SERMON
Speaker Draws a Picture of
Christ Knocking at the
Heart of Man.

Two conversions were made after
the sermon last. night at the River
Park NJ r. church by Rev. Schuyler
c. Rogers of Whiting. on THE
Waiting Christ" Before his ser
mon. Rev. Rogers sang a solo. en-
titled "Sweeter as the Years Go By
lone of the world greatest paint
ings represents man standing out
side a closed door. knocking" said
Rev. Rogers. The door is very
heavy and hung on massive hinges
1t is peculiar in that there is no
latch or knob on the outside En-
trance can be had only by unbarring
the door from within or battering it
down. over this door are vines
growing. showing that it has not
been opened for a long time.
He who stands knocking is
crowned with thorns. His forehead
is stained with blood. His face bears
the marks of grief and sorrow, yet
it is lighted by a look of intense
love and eager yearning. Ii is the
painters conception Of the waiting
Christ-Christ at the door of the
human heart The Christ who
stands there is the suffering Christ
suffers for Others.
by no stretch Of the imagination
can He be said to be suffering for
His sins Satan could find nothing
Of his own in Jesus. Jesus. him
self. said He has nothing in Me.
But this Christ is suffering from the
sins OF others. Many a one thinks
when he does wrong that it will in
jure only himself. But everyone
who sins lessons his own power of
righteousness and the world is that
much poorer
The Christ who stands there
knocking is the risen. alI-powerful,
kingly Christ. asking for admission
TO the hearts of men. 1t is also the
Christ Of the judgment before whom
all must appear TO answer for the
life lived here. He is the merciful.
pleading Christ. He will not force
admissions. He stands and knocks.
The door is closed by many bars.
One is that if ignorance. Men i'm
agine that when they let Christ into
their hearts they must say good
bye TO all the enjoyments of life.
As a matter of fact. Jesus seeks TO
remove from life only the things
that are evil.
Bar of Prejudice.
There is a second bar OF preju-
dice and another of unbelief. and
yet another OF selfishness and one of
secret sins. The door is well-barred.
Neglect, presumption and fear are
other bars.
IF the door is not opened. the
knocking will grow fainter and
fainter. 1t Will finally cease and a
peace Of death will steal over the
heart. But if the doors be I'M
barred this Christ will come in and
a royal feast will be spread. for
eye hath not seen. neither nath ear
heard, neither hath il entered into
the heart of man the things which
God hath prepared for those who
love Him"

HEAVEN AND HE'LL
MAY Be IN BLOCK
"LOSt" is SaddeSt Word
Imaginable Says Rev.
G. A. Decker.

I'm one city block there may be
the same distance there is between
heaven and hell" said Rev G a.
Decker Of the First Baptist church.
in a sermon on The Ninety and
Nine" last night. The idea Of the
ninety and nine" was carried out
both in the preaching and in the
services Of which the members Of
the brotherhood were in charge.
Before the sermon, SO men stood
up and sang the song. The Ninety
and Nine" that was flashed on the
screen. Following the preliminary
services. Rev. Decker told the story
OF the shepherd. who counted his
flock and found only 90 sheep in
it. Leaving his flock, he went out to
find the Tooth sheep that was lost in
the wilderness.
Christ is a shepherd. said Rev.
Decker. Jesus seeks US; we are
not seeking him. 1t must certainly
be true that if a soul is seeking
Christ, it will find Him. If that soul
is wandering through the world,
looking for It's Redeemer, IT viii
certainly find Him, TOR Christ is out
seeking souls.
He is seeking souls eternally and
He will go anywhere to find them.
Do you realize how far God has gone
70 n 1nc 70 M
how far it is from heaven 20 earth,
then ! shall tell you how far Christ
has gone. Think where He has gone.
He has gone from His home in haven
in the holes of iniquity.
Christ came into this world not
TO be ministered unto but to minis
ter. There were times when He was
physically tired in His search for
souls but He never gave up and He
never will He carried the cross up
Mount Calvary until He fell under its
weight, so that another had TO bear
it for Him. He did this. seeking
souls-tO save the world. That's the
distance lie went to save the lost
soul.
He has been seeking to save man
ever since the fall of Adam. He has
lee nseeking some of us for a long
time and II is a fortunate thing that
God does not get weary OF His quest.
Men will lay down their lives TO re
alize an ambition or achieve a Ger
tain thing. Sometimes il is wealth;
sometimes fame. Christ did the same
thing TO save the lost soul.

happened. had the shepherd, in the
search for the Tooth sheep, found it
dead. He would have picked up
its broken body and buried it proba-
bly,. 1t is true that God will find us
some day. but maybe the soul will
be dead-so stepped in sin that any
solicitude on the. part of God is in
vain. Unless the sinner realizes that
he is lost, ne can not be redeemed
But when he comes TO this realiZa-
ton there is a chance. for then God
has a chance to do His work.
The saddest word in heaven or
on this earth is lost. a few years
ago when the Titanic was sunk and
hundreds of lives were lost. people
talked Of it for days They cared
nothing about the S1O,OOO.OOO ship
that went down. 1t was that the
people were lost. There are people
lost all around us and we do not
think much about IT,
But there is great JOY in heaven
when the sinner is found, for God
said that there is more rejoicing in
heaven for the pennance of one sin
,,c, tboD of 90 met There &c iov
in the church of God and there IS
satisfaction in every human heart
when a sinner is restored 10 heaven"

VISION NEEDED
IN DOING WORK
Christ Must be Known Before
Success Comes Says Rev.
F.F .ThOrnburg.

Without the great vision OF
Christ very little will be accomplish
ed by the church" asserted Rev.
Fred F. Thornburg in his sermon.
The Power OF Vision" at the First
Methodist church last night. There
are men and women in the church
who lack the vision and consequently
they are standing still in the work
OF God every day We must see
Christ and know Him before we can
carry on His work successfully"
Rev. Thornburg took his text frGal
the passage, 'Whereupon. oh King Of
Agrippa. ] was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision" and dwelt con
tinually on the fact that without the
vision OF Christ little real work could
be accomplished for the Savior by
the church workers. Many illustra-
tons Of his point were made by the
minister one Of the principal ones
relating TO the liquor question in
Indiana.
Because one man lacked the
great vision several years ago tenn
perance in Indiana was dealt a Sc
we're blow" declared Rev. Thorn
burg. This man was a church MEM
Der and he had the power to say
whether or not there should be
county or township local option. He
decided for the smaller unit and
voted against temperance. II was
because he did not have the vision
Of Christ when he was in a posi-
ton TO do great work for Him.
Checked Progress.
ct once knew a man who held
much power in a church. He was
a business man, but when il came
to his church he was unusually con-
sentative. He always urged that all
steps be taken slowly and that much
thought and study be given every
move. He stood in the way or prog
ress because he did not have eha
vision. and even today ne still stands
in the way OF that church. which has
not advanced a step i'm years.
There are many in this church
without the vision Of Christ They
think that the burden can be car
ried by others Get the vision and
be ready 10 fill in the thinned ranks
as the burden bearers drop out See
and know Christ.
There is a great difference be-
tween loving and knowing the
church and loving and knowing
Christ. When j was a young man
had for several years attended all
church services. really loved the
church, and did everything in my
power for il. Then there came a
time when I felt that / did not know
Christ, and then / began 10 pray.
prayed for days, and finally there
came into my heart the real spirit
OF Christ and / saw the vision. Then
/ was converted.
Vision Is Needed.
Men with the vision can over
come the difficulties that face the
church. With the spirit Of Christ
one can inspire and lead a whole
congregation to great things. The
man who sees Jesus Christ By his
side every day VIII remain true and
withstand the temptations that arc
thrown in his path"
At the close Of the sermon Rev.
ThOrnburg asked that all those who
felt that they were not truly imbued
with the spirit OF God 10 come TO
the altar. and there was a liberal
response.
Special afternoon meetings are be-
ing held at the church during this
week.

Receives Hearty Endorsement

The first installment of our serial editorial entitled, "Our Coastin g Party", which appeared in our col umns last week, brought forth an expression of hearty endorsement by most of the leading citizens of the town. A number went os far sa 70 assure us that abundant funds were available to back us in this good york, should any attempt be made to undermine our financial support in any way. The only criticism we have heard is that we failed to mention the names of the parties referred to.
 The News wishes to thank these friends for their encouragement and their support. We have suffered 10 financial loss thus far, as a re- suit of the publication of this arti- cle, and we do not anticipate that our firm stand for the best interest of the town will occasion any such loss. We firmly believe that all of our advertisers and all of our subscribers, collectively and indi- vidually, withstand firmly back of us in our effort to help make Will jams the. cleanest and the most pro- gressive town and the best place in which to live and to rear children, to be found on the Santa Fe. If we find that we have overesti- mated any of our advertisers or our readers-should any of them at tempt any form of boycott we will take our friends at their word and offer them tbe opportunity to make good any loss due to the op- position of such lawless element, by increasing their own patronage.
 In the meantime the News will continue its campaign for a better town, and incidentally its series of editorials upon Our Coasting Party.

 It is said of the American pe9rSe that they are slow to anger, but, once aroused, woe to him who shall stand against them. And so with the citizens of Williams. Their tol- erance has been phenomenal, but at last they are aroused Woe to those who have laughed at our laws and besmirched the fair name of our town. We have said that they are on the political tobsggan and that the speed of their descent is momentarily accelera ting. Already they are far down the decline and they are scheduled to reach the bottom.

OUR .COASTING PARTY
 (Part ID

Our first article under this brot a fattering amount of favorable comment from which it is plainly apparent that the people of Will jams stand firmly for law enforce, ment and the complete eradication of the influence of the family re- ferred to, as a force in politics or any other form of expression of community life. What is more, that article was the signal shot which has started a general assault upon those forces, living like para sites upon their fellow citizens by means of illegitimate practices, and fortified behind earthworks of official catspaw sandbags cemented together with the clay, boasted po- litical influence. Already the law abiding citizens are advancing in force, supported by mammoth can nons hurling one hundred centi- meter projectiles known as one hundred dollar rewards. They are starting campaign that will send the sandbags hurtling from their positions and reduce the boasted political influence to dust.
 If the offer of a hundred dollars reward, announced on the first page of this weeks News, fails to get re- suits, this body of men has many more hundreds offered for use in bringing "bootleggers" to justice. One conviction will not suffice. Others must follow until the band of illegitimate practitioners is re- duced to ragged remnant begging for mercy and willing to live by legitimate means.
 The man who buys whiskey from one of these criminals is in no way honor bound to shield them. IT the first place, a man is never hon or bound to shield a criminal. IT the second place, these particula individuals violated the trust of thu men they now ask to protect them by working for the 'dry" move ment before election.
