Gospel Subject of Rev.
\. W. LittreII.

Rev. A. W. Littrell. the evangelist
from Warsaw. spoke at the Quincy
81. Baptist church TO a crowd that
was large despite the inclement
weather.
"PauTs Vision and Estimate of
the Gospel was the subject Of his
sermon and he began by showing
how Paul loved the Bible TO such
an extent that he went out into the
streets of Rome and, unafraid,
preached the gospel"
Speaking of the conversion Of
Faul, the speaker pointed out that
eV eryone would not hear the voice
of God in the same manner in
which He called the apostle, but
that God has no single method of
converting men. Rev. Littrell men
toned his own conversion and said
that it occurred at $3.50 o'clock in
the morning in a little town in Vir-
ginia. He said that in all probable
ity no one else was converted at
that time in that place.
Rev. Littrell will speak every
night this week. The subjects of
his sermons are as follows:

SAME DESERTERS
As IN OLD DAYS
Many Men Like DemaS in.
World Declares Rev.
James L. Gardiner.

The Men Who Desert the Lord"
was the topic of Rev James L. Card
iner's sermon at the St. PauTs Me
mortal NJ E. church last night. The
pastor explained the reasons for
men deserving their Lord, ami fol-
lowing the service one man offered
himself TO the service of the church
and Christ.
In an after meeting of the
Brotherhood of the church AZ men
asked TO be made members of the
organization as a result of the cam
paign which has been put on by the
Brotherhood during the past few
days.
Rev. Gardiner took as his text
Second Timothy 4:1O. "Demas hath
forsaken me, having loved this pres
ent world"
What do we mean by the world ?"
asked the pastor. The world means
anything that draws men from
Christ. The world means anything
that makes man less a Christian.
The world means anything that
man takes that ought to be given
TO God. The world is that which
lowers the tone of a mans religious
experience In a word. ii is any
thing that turns him away from
Christ
"Men desert Christ today the
same as they did in the days of
Demas. Men forsake Christ for love
of evil associates. Others forsake
Him because of moral cowardice."
DR.. Gardiner will talk tonight up
on the topic, AT the Fork in the
Road" This will be a message TO
the undecided and is expected to be
one of the most interesting OF the
revival.

There are folks who tonight will
have their last opportunity OF seek
ing Jesus.
Because Zaccheus was a little
man. as he stood in the crowd he
could not see Jesus over the heads
OF the people, so he climbed into a
sycamore tree TO see Him. He was
rewarded for his effort. He saw his
Saviour If the unsaved Will seek
Jesus as earnestly as Zaccheus tried

But Jesus saw Zaceheus. Jesus
always sees the one who seeks to

'Zaccheus was saved as a result
OF seeing Jesus. The Saviour made
Himself a self-appOinted guest at

purpose was TO bless the man. The
Saviour is ready TO enter the heart

bless all who seek Him.
"Zaccheus showed his penitence
by declaring the conservation Of his
wealth and by making restitution

unsaved repent and bring forth
fruits Of repentance they may know

PARABLE USED TO
SHOW GODS LOVE
Rev. William Lampin Speaks on the
Parable OF the ProdigaI

God revealed His great love for
us in the wonderful gift 10 us Of
His Son, who redeemed YOU and re-
deemed me" was the keynote OF the
sermon Of Rev. William Lampin.
who spoke TO the congregation Of
the First Church OF the Brethren
on the sublime !cve OF God for man
as exemplifed in the parable of the
prodigal son.
Il believe that the specific reason
why Christ gave Us the parable OF
the prOdigal son was not that We
might shun and abhor the evil WAYS
OF the son; nor yet that we might
draw lesson from the uncharitable
actions OF the elder brother. but
shst We might fix our eyes on the
fs..ier OF the prodsgal son and learn
from him Of the sublime love that
God has FOR al OF His erring chill
dren."

extended at the end OF the sermon

MANY WILL HAVE
To PAY UP BILLS
Rev. R. |. Champion Says
EVaderS of Just Debts Can
not Get Salvation.

There's a lot of people that will
have to clean up their grocery bills
b. fore they will be able to enter
into the JOY Of salvation" asserted
Rev. r. l. Champion at the Trinity
NJ. +. church last night In his ser
mon. Ways to Heaven, or Six Steps
to the Throne" The minister crit-
cized severely those people who pre-
tend TO be good church members
and Christians who will not pay
their just debts and play square"
with their fellow men. Portions of
his sermon were indictments of those
people who are anxious to appear
good but are not willing to undergo
what might be termed some sacri-
fees TO be really righteous.
There are six steps TO the throne
Of God" asserted Rev. Champion.
They are conviction, repentance,
sanctifcation. regeneration, justifica-
ton and translation.
Conviction means the proving Of
your guilt, and you cannot repent
until you have really broken from
sin. Regeneration comes when work
is done in Us. and publication is the
work done for US
"Sanctification. Some men are
more afraid OF this word than they
are of sin. Being sanctifed does
not mean being perfect, but means
having a good start toward being
perfect.
IF a man tells YOU that he could
not sin if he wanted to YOU had
better put Your hand on your wallet
or he may have it in about 10 min
utes. Justification warns the heart
and makes men want 10 help their
more unfortunate brethren.
Translation means that there is
no death, that YOU will not pass
through the dark valleys in your
journey To the throne. In transla-
ton there is no death. il is just the
changing from one room to an
other"
There were no conversions, al
though 40 members of the church
came forward and reconsecrated
themselves 10 the work Of Christ.
while others asked that prayers
might be offered for them.

Thank Papers For Their
Aid.

Rev. John 2. Hale OF Lafayette.
state superintendent Of Presbyterian
missions. who is conducting the re-
vival meetings at Trinity Presbyter-
ian church. spoke on "Our Business"
IN which he pointed ont the various
conceptions OF Christianity. at the
Ministerial association meeting at
the Y. NJ @. A. Monday morning.
A short talk was given by Miss
Florence Wattles, who is in the city
10 organize the equal suffrage move
ment.
"Christ's conception was that the
entire universe was kingdom"
said Rev. Hale He showed this
when he established the Lord s
prayer. Thy kingdom come on earth
as IL is in heaven. Pauls concep-
ton was an organized church with
its prophets and apostles. The con-
ceptiOn Of the medieval church was
the sacerdotal idea. in which all au-
thority was vested in the priests.
During the reformation Martin
1uther's conception was that au-
thority should be vested i'm the Bible
rather than the priest The Wes-
leyan movement brought out the
Idea OF individual salvation for
sternity.
Our business today is 10 save
men for time as well as eternity We
must save their bodies as well as
their souls We must help them in
their work and in their social life"
Miss Wattles' talk was for the
purpose OF learning through the
ministers If there were any church
organizations Interested in the suf-
frage movement. A resolution was
adopted instructing the secretary,

MISSIONARY SPEAKS
AT FIRST CHRISTIAN
Chinese Are Among the Most Lib
eral Contributors to the
Church.

r. A. Doan, the Ohio business
man who forsook his business to do
the work OF the church, spoke on
what ne considered the most import
ant thing in the world. at the First
Christian church last night. II was
on the relationship of money life
and God.
1T is the teaching Of Jesus that
we may give everything to the
church but il profits nothing if we
do not give our love-" said Mr.
DOan. who has been a missionary
for a period and who related of con-
diticns the world over. He has
spent many years in China and he
told OF many instances which show
that these people. who have been
Christians but a few years. are some
Of the most liberal people TO the
church today.
The speaker declared that he was
not used TO speaking on the money
subject TO the congregation for the
greater part OF his life However.
this subject is an important one and
is one that the congregation should
hear.
The persons who sacri sce 10 give
money TO the church are the ones
who deserve the credit. L have
known cases where the man and
wife OF a family deprived them
selves of pleasures simply so that
they might give money TO the
church. The sum they contributed
was $500 in five years. but / really
believe they got more good and en-
joyment out of IL than the rich man
who gave one million"

try to fear there would not be so
many hypocrites.
Parents are responsible for their
children not having the proper kind
of fear. God is displeased with sin
and therefore whatever is opposed
to righteousness should not be done.
Parents must teach their children

them keep Gods commandments.

Hughes Now--Pair of
Republican Senators!
Especial to The Times. J

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 26. -
Declaring that the eight-hour law
for railway trainmen has been
much misrepresented, Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin. republican who voted for the
law, prints in his magazine today
a signed editorial defending the
passage of the measure recon-
mended to congress by President
Wilson.
Although his editorial was
written before the presidents adj
dress last Saturday to business
men at Shadow Lawn 1t adopts
the same line of reasoning.
Senator La Toilette denies that
the eight-hour law was forced
BILL" as Charles Il. Hughes con-
tends. He says that the railroad
employees made their demands of
the railroads and not upon con-
gress. and 1t was only when a
strike became imminent that the
president and congress stepped in
to avert the disaster.
The Wisconsin senator charges
that millions of dollars were ex-
pended by the railroads in an eff
fort to influence public sentiment
against the eight-hour day.
These millions did not come
from the profits of the railroad
managers or the railroad owners"
says La Toilette; they came
from the funds of the railroads.
This campaign was conducted
with money that really belonged
to the people. The shippers and
passengers were made in the last
analysis to finance the publicity
campaign"
