SEES PROGRESS MADE IN
WORLD DURING YEAR
Rev. c. \. Decker Holds Faith and
Hope Have Taken Place of
Doubt snd Despair.

The question Of the worlds moral
progress during the past year was
discussed by Rev Charles A Decker
pastor of the First Baptist church,
Sunday morning. in his sermon on
the subject, The Signs Of the
Times"
The question can not be proved,
but must only be believed and
hoped" he said. That does not
prevent us from specializing on the
subject, nor from placing the best
Interpretation possible on the facts
investigated
AT first sight it would seem that
the past year has been a bad one
for the Optimists. But a close inves-
tigation shows that faith and hope
has taken the place of doubt and
despair. With few exceptions there
is a general agreement that progress
is being made in the world spiritual
~. / say this is a striking fact in
view of the present world situation -

Mrs. Haley present. The church his
tory was given by +. l. Award and

RI. Kenna. pastor of the church, on

thing for men to associate together
whether il be in religious work or

POINTS TO NATURE AS
REAL PROOF OF GOD
Rev. j. l.. Gardiner Declares Won
ders of Niagara Enough to
Convince Skcptic.

God in Nature was the subject
Of the sermon last night in the st.
PauTs Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal church before large audience
by the pastor, Rev. James L. Gard
liner. ID. ID.
God has revealed Himself 10
mankind by two books" said DR..
Gardiner, 1.-The Bible and the Book
of Nature.
''The Bible is Gods highest and
best revelation to the children of
men. There have been other books
written on the subject Of religion.
such as the Koran, the Talmud and
the Moran Bible; but none of these
can compare with the book of books
the Bible.
Turn to the Bible and you will
find from the beginning to the end
Of it revelations Of God. God is re-
vealed to us not only as Creator and
governor but as our Father. The
Bible is an inspired book. Holy men
spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost
But God has revealed Himself to
men also through the Book of Ma
ture. The Psalmist in our text says.
The heavens declare the glory Of
God and the armament showeth
forth His handiwork. Day unto day
uttereth speech. There is no speech
nor language where their voice is
not heard
THE objects of nature are uni
tinually. They declare that the hand
that made them is divine. The athe-
list says there is no God. No man
has a right 10 make such a state
ment until he has examined every
nook and Granny in GODS great uni
verse and found that Re was not
there. No man should make such
an assertion until he Is able TO prove
that there is no God back of the
mighty forces OF this universe.
How can any man stand. as many
of US have stood on the heights of
the Niagara and listen in awe and in
silence to that bold and eloquent
oracle OF nature without at once be-
ing struck with the presence Of the
Divine and without believing that
that mighty cataract is none other
than the voice OF God speaking 10
us?"
At the close Of the sermon a pic
ture Of the Niagara Falls-In Win
ter and in Summer was presented.
TO emphasize the message. A pic
ture was also shown of Jerusalem
and the Holy Land" presenting we'll
known scenes from Palestine.

REPENTANCE PATH

Rev. w. H. FreShIey Says All
Soul Winning Pastors Are
Preaching 1t Today.

Many people want the preacher
70 be like a photographer. If pho
tographers showed people exactly
as they are they would have TO go
out OF business. He must retouch
them and take out the wrinkles on
the faces, the squint OF the eyes.
that wart off the nose and make
them look 20 years younger than
they really are. II he can do that
he can get the business. These
were the words of Rev. w. II. Fresh
ley. pastor of the First Evangelical
church Sunday morning in his ser
mon on the subject, Repentance. J"
Many people want a you tickle
me and I'll tickle you brand Of
preaching John the Baptist and
the apostles were not that kind,
neither are the soul winning preach
ers of that kind. All the great soul
winning preachers of today are
preaching repentance without fear
or favor, and are uncOvering sin in
both high and low places in and out
OF the church.
There is only one way into the
kingdom of heaven and that is by
the way of the new birth as CONVEX
sion. There is only one path that
leads to genuine conversion and that
is genuine repentance. The Bible
and especially the new testament is
the guide book of repentance. 1t
urges, it teaches, it enfOrces, ii re-
peats. It drives and commands every
where.
The epistes we're written TO show
bow to repent and live a Christian
life. God commandeth all men every
where TO repent 1t is God that COM
mands 1t, not 1 nor the church, not
the law, but God who made the
heaven and earth. He did not say
much about Joining the church. TAX
ing communion, being confirmed or
being baptized. or attending church,
or prayer meeting or having family
worship. There will be no trouble
in getting a genuinely converted per-
son to keep all the other command
ments.
Repentance is the cure for all
carelessness and indifference to re-
ligious service and duty. Jesus told
his apostles TO preach it. Peter did
on Pentecost with great results. 1t
is not popular but we must preach

URGES MEN TO GO TO
CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY
Rev. G.. w. Allison Says Public WOr-
ship Not Only Privilege
But a Duty.

Rev. George William Allison. pas
tor OF Hope Presbyterian church.
used as his subject Sunday morning
the theme. THE Church and Wor-
ship" The church observed Go TO
church" Sunday, and the sermon
was appropriate to the occasion. In
speaking of worship. he said:
Worship is the highest function of
the human soul. The soul that is
unworshipful of it's Maker is near
to deafness and devoid of all spirit
ual desire. The highest function Of
the church is not so much to offer a
social program Of redemption as il
is TO create a wOrshipful society.
The main service for the church is
for the purpose OF worship.
And while every Christian ought
TO engage in personal worship and
every family ought to worship in its
own home, there is still a vital neces-
sity for public worship as offered in
the services of the church of today.
1t is feared that without this public
worship. influences would fail to
stimulate home worship TO so large
a degree as desirable and fewer non
worshippers should be reached.
There is no more patent truth
than that a worshipping congrega-
ton is a standing invitation to the
general public to become worship
full. II is exceedingly encouraging
to the individual worshipper to
gather with those who forsake not
the assembling of themselves to-
gether and find that his desire for
communion with God is a social de-
sired shared by others.
1T also enables him TO use the
great institution which fosters wor-
ship both publicly and privately as a
missionary base and agency for the
reaching OF others souls who ought
but do not engage habitually in
worship. Public worship, then. is
not only individual privilege. but
also public duty. And all of the
favorable receptivity granted the
annual GO to church Sunday idea
is but a frank recognition Of this
fact. Go TO church then, not only
today, but every Sunday for the sake
of your soul. and your neighbor."
