EVERY PERSON
MAKES RECORD
Thoughts and Deeds Can
Never be Forgotten Says
Rev. Smith.

Rev. A. W smith or the River
Park NJ r. church talked on The
Record OF IAfe" ia his sermon last
night His text was taken from Rev.
2O.I2, And i saw the dead. the
great and the small. stand before
the throne and books were opened. g"
The books that were seen opened
were records Of human lives said
Rev. Smith Every person is max
ing a record. At first the record
book is one Of blank pages, each
white and clean AS each one lives
ne makes his record on the pages
OF the book Every day each one OF
US Is making a record. our thoughts.
motives. words, ard deeds make the
record. which IS either good or bad.
Good pages are written with good
thoughts. motives. words and deeds;
bad pages with wrong thoughts, mo-
tives and deeds. Sins blot and stain
the pages.
Some pages OF the record are
better than others Some records
have but few bad pages; others are
very checkered. There are but few
bad pages in some records; but some
records would sstonish their authors.
There are many who would not want
their records exposed TO the gaze of
others. There are many folks who
find fault with church members. but
how would they like To- have their
own records held mp 90 public view
God knows the record each one is
making NOTHING Is hidden from His
eyes
Much Of the record may be hid
den from man. but not from God,
VINO will hold each one accountable
for everything i'm the record. for
every evil thought. motive. word o.
deed. Only divine forgiveness will
remove the guilt and condemnation
for an evil record
Although God no longer holds us
accountable when forgiven. the
record each one has made is a part
Of his Hfe's history The things said
and done are facts i'm the life of each
one from which he can never get
away. What one has done is "a part
of the past OF his Hfe-there is a
real part Of his unwritten history
unwritten by human pen or print
but written IN the invisible history
OF his past.
'According TO the scriptures each
man shall give an account of AIS
life before the judgment throne oil
Christ He shall be judged accord
ing to his deeds What will the
sinner do with his blotted pages OF
the record pages blotted with sin
Ills only hope is 10 rely upon the
mercy OF God. who promises for
giveness to the penitent through
Jesus. our Saviour"

FIRST DRINK DOES
NOT MAKE ORUNKARD
Rev. Bell Emphasizes Person and
Work OF Holy Ghost in
His Sermon.

Rev. W. S. Bell, the Pacific coast
evangelist. will continue the revival
at the First Brethren church for the
first three days Of the week. He
spoke last night on The Unpardon-
able Sim" taking his text from Mat
thew 12:31-32. The speaker empha-
sized the person and work of the
Holy Ghost and His relationship TO
the world
Jesus gave His work, saying when
He is come He will convict the world
of sin, righteousness and judgment
TO come" said the speaker Mans
only medium Of salvation is through
the Holy Ghost. Unless a nan is
born of the spirit he cannot enter
the kingdom of heaven. To sever
relationship with the spirit of God
is 10 sever relationship with Christ
and the Father.
1T is not the first drink that
makes the drunkard Neither is il
the first sin that makes the sinner.
No one takes his first drink with the
intention OF becoming a Grunkard.
lie takes il for less evil motives, yet
in the end he finds that he is lost.
and so IL is with the acceptance
of Jesus Christ The first rejection
Of Him does not mean that YOU are
lost, but it is the ultimate rejection.
Procrastination is the word which
seems TO tell us most perfectly the
real cause Of our souls being lost.

LINC0LN'S CREED WAS
THE FIRST COMMANDMENT

Abraham Lincoin's Creed" was
the subject Of the sermon by Rev.
G. = Decker at the First Baptist
church Sunday evening. His text
was taken from Matthew 22:37-39.
Jesus said unto him. thou shalt love
the Lord. thy God. with all thy
heart, with all thy soul and with all
thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment and the second is like
unto the first. thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself"
In spite Of the fact that Lincoln
did not belong TO any church. his
creed was this commandment" said
Rev. Decker. He stated that had he
heard Of any church whose creed
consisted Of this creed or one sim
liar he would join il.
In the first place this is an under
standable creed. II needs no ex-
planning and can easily be applied
90 ones life, If he is but willing. In
the second place, il is comprehensive.
II includes everything that is re-
quired OF a man by God and the
people around him No man has
ever oeen IN close fellowship with
God that he did not love his neigh
bors. Those things that are making
for the uplift OF humanity are identi
fed with God. We must love God
and then we cannot help loving our
neighbor. In the third place. il is
a workable creed. There are move
ments 10 unite all church So as 10
have them work in unity BUT if
this comes ii has TO come through a
fundamental basis such as this
creed which brings in the best. the
oroadest, the most comprehensive
and understandable that their is in
the Christian life.
In the last place. il is effective.
Lincoln belonged 10 no church. but
ne accepted this as his creed. which
proved effective in his life.

LINCOLN ONE Of
GREAT ORATORS
1.-The Perfect Tribute" is Sub
jeCt of Dr.. James L.
GARDENERS Talk.

Lincoln patriotic service was
held last evening at st. Paurs Me-
mortal Methodist Episcopal church.
The congregation Joined in singing
America" and The Battle Hymn Of
the Republic" An appropriate duet
was rendered by Arthur Shank and
Mrs. w II. Swintz. The pastor Of
the church, Rev. James l.. Gardiner.
ID, spoke on The Perfect Tribute"
"a little book written by Mary Ray
mond Shipman Andrews.
DR.. Gardiner. in speaking of the
effects Of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress, as set forth in The Perfect
Tribute" said: There are at least
two requisites Of a great orator.
First. he must be a man Of deep
conviction. Lincoln was such a man.
No man can study the life OF this
great president without feeling that
he was a man OF mighty convic-
tions In early life he was con-
WINGED that slavery was wrong. and
said at New Orleans TO some com
panions. Boys. if ever l get a chance
20 hit slavery 1 will hit it hard This
conviction grew until he signed the
proclamation that set 100000 of
black men free.
Another requisite is that Of soul
The orator is a man that feels what
he says. There is a vast difference
between an elocutionist and an
orator. The elocutionist repeats in
a r-r-a no h.
taught TO say; the orator is a man
that feels every word he speaks. He
is man not only with an intellect
but with a heart. Lincoln felt and
appreciated the truths he uttered
This is especially true of his Gettys-
I burg address.
His words uttered at Gettysburg
will never be forgotten. They
breathe the spirit of his great soul
Mrs. Andrews says that when Lin
coin had finished this great speech
his words had so gone home TO the
hearts Of the audience that every
man held his breath. Not one hand
was lifted to applaud. One might
as well applaud the Lords Prayer
it would have been sacrilege. And
they all felt it-down to the lowest
There was a long minute OF reverent
! silence, no sound from that great
throng - the most perfect tribute
that has ever been paid TO any peO-
pie by any orator"
At the close Of the sermon Lin
coins Gettysburg Address" and
The National Soldiers Home, Vir-
ginia," were presented to the large
audience in motion pictures.

SAYS INF |DELS
ARE ALL FOOLS
DiSbeIiever Has "SCreW Loose
Somewhere" Asserts Rev.
w. H. FreShIey.

IF a man says there is no God.
you can be sure that he has a screw
loose somewhere" said Rev. w. II.
F'reshley last night at the FIRST
Evangelical church in his sermon on
God" Many wicked people would
like to do away with God" he as
serted. His presence is a constant
reproach to their wickedness. 1t
shows up their wickedness before
the whole world.
Il believe in God because the
Bible says so. Many people deny
the Bible, so 1 shall prove the exist
ence Of God without the Bible. Are
there any signs in nature? Look
about you in the heavens. See the
planets moving through space. each
i'm it's own orbit, rushing at a terrific
pace among the maze of other plan
cts that beset its path. All is ac-
cording to law. order and symmetry
Look again into the microscope and
see things far too small for the I'M
aided eye to view. There again all
is harmony, order symmetry and
law. / don't care where you go,
from the most distant star to the
smallest molecule, you will see law
and symmetry.
Let us turn to the body of man.
Consider the purpose of the heart.
of the lungs, and Of the muscles.
Yet there are some who deny that
God made the body OF man. They
say that millions and millions of
years ago there was a little proto-
plasm in a pond. and that proto-
plasm grew into a tadpOle. then into
frog, and finally into a monkey,

MURPHY ROLLS 'EM
 OVER IN MR. HARRIS

Tipped off that roll 'em over" was the pass word, Deputy Sheriff J. T. Murphy approached hot dog stand at the fair grounds yesterday and asked the man behind the counter to roll 'em over twice.
 Instead of receiving the two vest pocket flasks of whiskey he learned that J. B. Harris had done such d land office business that he had exhausted his supply
 Sorry pard," he said. I'm just out. I'm going down town myself to see if l can't roll 'em over-
 Well, if you can't do anything for me. I can for you.
 I'll roll you over" replied Murphy as he took the man into custody.
 Harris operated d hamburger stand at the fair for several days and on the side is alleged to have done re- markedly well selling individual" flasks of whiskey which were easily handled. The price in wet" countries is ten cents. but Harris was so sue cessful in procuring twenty five that he is said to have advanced the price nickel a bottle before he was ar rested on information filed by the county attorney. Clyde NJ. Candy.
 The county attorneys office has been diligent in its efforts to put an end to bootlegging in Phoenix. The fair has been watched closely and consid- ering the vast throngs has been par ticularly free from crime. Besides the arrest of Harris yesterday, there was but one other made by the sheriffs office. C. K. Burg, charged with con- ducting percentage game, was book cd at the county jail last night
