YOUNG PEOPLE UNWISE
IN CHOOSING FRIENDS
Whatever is Lovely and SeIf-Sacri-
ficing Shines in Light
OF Christ.

Thy love to me is wonderful" was
the text used by Rev. J. ]. orion. in
his sermon last evening at the Hope
Presbyterian church.
Rev. orion compared the love Of
the Almighty TO that of some people
of today. saying. Modern fiction has
initiated but never surpassed the
matchless story OF David and Jona-
than, In David. Jonathan recognized
a kindred spirit impulsively stripped
o. his robe and apparel even TO
sword. bow and girdle. The soul of
Jonathan was knit under the soul Of
David. He loved him as his own soul.
He saw that David was all II was in
himself at his best.
Young people are less wise in
choosing their friends. 1t is often
done haphazardly instead Of being
the result Of wise and decisive judg-
ment.
Whatever is lovely and self sac
rificing shines in the light and beau
ty OF Jesus Christ. He becomes a
friend for the sake Of what He could
do for the world. What sorrow and
suffering He could bare and remove.
Because He loved everybody is the
reason that SO many love him"

Rev. Littrell told Of the deaths Of

EUen Dog viii
Notice Change in
Concerted Man

There must be such a change in
mans life after he is converted
that his dog will notice it declared
the Rev A. r. Babbs in his sermon
on the new birth TO the congrega-
ticn Of the StuH Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church The sermon was
based on the text: Except a man
be born again he shall not enter
the kingdom OF God"
simply belonging 20 a church
will never save a man." continued
the preacher. "Only a new birth
can give us the ticket Of admission
10 Gods kingdom" He then dwelt
at length on the wonderful change
that God brings about in the re-
formed man. When a man is born
anew, God creates a new nature and
indeed in a few cases I have been
led to believe that God has created
new faculties IN the mans soul"
"All sin is death. As in death the
thing that disgusts us most is the
filth and corruption, so il is in the
life Of the sinner: but the advancing
salvation resurrects the sinner and
gives new life and cleanliness and
purity" The speaker drew remark
able examples from his own personal
experiences demonstrating the con-
ditiOn OF the sinner in his sins and
after he had been born again into
grace.

MAN MUST TRY TO
SECURE SALVATION
Attendance at Services at First VI.
T.. Church Has Been
Large.

Man must make an effort to Sc
cure salvation" declared Rev. Henry
L. Davis at the First Methodist
church last night in his sermon bas-
ed upon the text How shall we es-
cape il we neglect so great saliva
tiOn?"
Rev. Davis asserted that men must
want salvation 10 the extent that
they will make an effort to secure it
before God will provide them with
escape from condemnation They
cannot be passive but must show
some activity in Gods name before
He will save them, according to the
pastor.
He illustrated his point by telling
the story Of the man who took poison
by mistake and then made no effort
to reach the antidOte which stood
on a table within reaching distance.
This man died said the minister and
there are men dying in the world to-
day because they do not make an
effort TO reach out and grasp the sal
Walton God offers them He declar-
ed there was no escape from con-
demnation unless men are converted
TO Gods religion and follow out his
commands. The pastor said that 1t
was easy TO neglect salvation as
men so often put this important fac
tor OF life off until another day and
then when that day came il was too
late.
There will be meetings at the First
Methodist church all next week. At
tendance there has been large during
the past two weeks and the pastor
believes that even better results can
be obtained during the coming Few

MAN BETTER WORKER
FOR KNOWING CHRIST
Rev. j. o. MOsier Uses Parable OF
the Good Shepherd for His

The parable Of the good shepherd
was used by Rev. ]. o. Mosier Of
the Mizpah Evangelical church last
night. The Sunday school was in
charge of the opening services. a
large number responded with a
Bible promise. s. G. Lehman is SUI
perintendent Of the school.
Mr.. Mosier told Of the sheep folds
on the western plains, how the sheep
were kept enclosed by walls of cactus
or sage. and how, despite these, some
Of them often left the fold.
He said it was the same with peo-
pie who are members Of Christs
fold. They often wander away from
the fold. although Christ throws all
manner Of projections about them.
The members of the fold, those who
are listed as members Of churches,
declared the pastor. have the numer-
Gus advantages of the Christian.
He makes a better worker for his
employer and enjoys the pleasures of
life which are denied the sinner. The
life Of the Christian, he held. is one
Of Joy He experiences a larger
vision Of a glorious inheritance and
more liberty than the man who is
stepped in sin.
The attendance at the NIizpah
church has been good during the
past two weeks and Friday nights
attendance set a mark for the present
revival The aim Of the pastor has
been principally to interest the mem
bers of the congregation in the work.
They must first get in harmony with
the church before much can be &C
complished. With their aid it will
he an easy matter for the church to
grow in men bership.

JESUS READY To
SAVE ALL SOULS
1.-The Need of Christianity" is
Subject of Sermon by
Rev. 6. F. Byrer.

you can put Him off, but tell
YOU that you will see the day in this
world, if you are in your right mind,
when you will cry for Jesus Christ.
declared Rev. G. F. Byrer at the
United Brethren church last evening.
Rev. Byrer chose as his subject, The
Need Of Christianity" taken from
Luke 6:17-19, And the whole null
titude sought TO touch Him: for there
went virtue out Of Him, and He
healed them all"
Rev. Byrer urged upon his listen
ers the absolute necessity of accept
ing Jesus Christ. You want to be
a Christian" continued the speaker,
you know you do. but you will not
make the effort. Jesus is willing TO
cure all the diseases Of our souls.
know we have been so Indifferent to
cur souls welfare that we do not
see our real condition until we are
brought face to face to 1t, by some
calamity. May We open our eyes now
and see. Perhaps you have been
sick-then you have called for Jesus.
Now Jesus is calling TO you. This
calling is so broad and universal that
lit reaches everyone. But in soul
sickness only one is able to cure sin
and make US clean.
If we would be able to conquer
sin or drive it out we would be in
different to some sins, for we would
keep some while others, we would
forget. But Jesus knows them all
and He drives them all out. You
know you are not satisfied as You
are. as you have tried every other
way.-why not try our Jesus? He is
ready at any time to stop and see to
your case Pat yourself unreserved-
~ into your Saviour's hands once and
for all. oh what power in that
touch. what a life giving thrill is sent
through our whole being"
Rev. Byrer announced from the
pulpit that the meetings would be
continued throughout the length of
the simultaneous revival campaign.
The speaker also announced that the
members of his congregation who
could possibly attend the services
under the direction of Dad" Elliott
were to assemble at the church at ,
o'clock Sunday afternoon where
they would march with the band to
the y. NJ. c. A. and there being join
ed by other church people would

His love for rs. His death on the
cross proves it and the words of
the Bible prove it. We do not ask
for the love of people we do not like.
There must be an affinity between
people before there can be anything
like love.
IF people would only realize the
great love of God. there would be
no need Of an invitation for them
to accept Him. God is a great loving
Father and He wants 10 be the
Father of every man and woman.
But in spite Of this there are peo-
pie who so on in their sinful ways
without a thought of God. What a
blessed condition it would be if
everyone would call Him Ny
Father
when you talk about giving your
heart to God you are getting down
to the very core Of life. If YOU give
your heart, YOU give your mind. your
brain. your hands and everything
God wants everything or nothing.
When there is any desire to break
down a mans will by any other pro-
cess than through himself il is a
great mistake. When a man accepts
God himself, he really gets some
thing out of conversion. There is
nothing in it for him if he does it to
please his neighbor or his friend
God wants everybody to make a low
ing surrender"
