glorious service on Sunday. which
marks the closing of the revival.
THE pastor announced that on sun

portunity for any who desired to
unite with that church He told the
new converts that il was wise
thing to do TO line up with the
church from the very start He al
so said that there were some fifty
persons perhaps in Waxahachie who
were of the same faith as his church,
yet who had not brought their let
tiers with them. lie suggested that
when one moves To a place II is al

F.! by Mr.. Haven on the piano For
his evening solo he sang by a re-

Obtained My Redemption. !" This
was a very striking song and was
well rendered.
Restoreth Sight To Blind.
Evangelist Hendrick took his text
from Luke 1895, which tells the
story of restoring the sight of the
blind beggar He said the passover,
the annual feast of the Jews, was at
hand and thousands of Jews were
enroute to Jerusalem for the event.
Christ was going that way-passing
under the shadow of the cross as IL
were. His disciples thought he was
| going to Jerusalem TO set up a
throne 1t was hard to get this
| idea out of their minds The speaker
| touched upon the significance OF
Jesus stopping over with Zachaeus,
| because he was rich and chief OF
| the ring of sinners. The evangelist
said he liked to get hold of a ring
| leader because of the good he could
| do when he gave his heart TO Christ.
Il like fellow who serves the Lord
| with all his might, likewise the fell
| low who serves the devil" Notice
the humbleness of the beggar and
his condition. Blindness is the worst
misfortune that may befall man. He
trusted God and his sight was re-
stored, and he went out singing
praises. So it is with us today. We
ought to sing praises to God when
our sin blinded eyes are opened.
Friends, let us pray tonight that
we might have our eyes opened. 1t
is a sad picture to have your eyes
shut against heaven-turn 10 God
and open your eyes. These meetings
are here only for a little while un-
YOU may seize. 1t has always been
my regret that we are SO slow TO
act upan an impulse. ! think some
times we ought TO consider that we
are her only for little while I'M
der a flag of truce and ought TO
grasp the opportunity now presented.
The meeting is passing. and with It
an opportunity. viii you ask God
to help you--the Bible teaches us
God hears prayers. II you are seek
ing Christ with a whole heart you
will find him The one thing you
need is to get your sin-blinded eyes
open.
MY friends, l would ask you to
throw away that vicious mind and
carnal thought and come TO Jesus.
II may be we viii have TO throw off
some ballast. but it is certain that
if we will seek Christ we will find
him. And when our sin blinded
ewes are open we should give Jesus
the glory. Don't try 10 come 10
Christ by way Of the experiences of
other christians. He will make
way if you will trust him."
A very joyful after service was
held. These after services are be-
