who desired the prayers OF the saved
about 100 hands were raised. How
ever. when DR.. Lyon issued the usual
invitation. not a person in the large
congregation moved.
II was one OF the stoniest services
held so far The evangelist was
keenly disappointed He left THE tab
ernacle with bowed head and tagging
feet
In touching some Of the stellar fea-
lures OF the sermon. the evangelist
said. "Banishment from God is hell,
and il is eternal. Salvation is not a
matter Of good or bad, but II is a
matter Of life and death, heaven or
hell"
Throughout the sermon, the evan
gelist made numerous references di'
rected at church members OF VIII
mington.
"You have about the deadest bunch
Of church members that ! have ever
struck in my sixteen years OF evan
gelistic work. You don't seem to
realize that part of the religious
work OF a Christian is TO bring others
to Jesus Christ
A saved man is saving man.
Many people may be children OF God,
but they are not servants OF Jesus
Christ
I'VE have too many infants in our
churches. A lot of people seem to
think that the church is nursery
and that the pastor is a wet nurse
II is a nursery. but not a place to cod
die the saints. Il os a place to save
the unsaved"
The infants were referred to as
church members who permit worldly
pleasure to come into their lives
which bar them from effective SER
vice in the Masters field. AS each
class was taken up, the evangelist
yelled with facial gestures: Baby,
baby. baby" following which a stern
command was given to get out Of
your infancy"

by deeper enthusiasm. The meeting
in the tabernacle was for men only. A
short musical program preceded the

ing the course of his sermon the evan
gelist made an earnest appeal for all
men to lead open. honest and clean
lives. He pictured Heaven in all its
glory and hell with it's eternal dam
nation. When the invitation was
given at this meeting thirty-one hit
the trail" About 1000, men attended
yesterday afternoons service. Dur
ing the concert cornet and violin
duet was given by Chares T. Edwards
and his son, Charles. both well-anown
