BAPTIST MEETINGS
COME TO A CLOSE
MANY ARE BAPTIZED AT CON.
GLIDING SESSION AT THE
FIRST CHURCH.

At the conclusion Of the service
last night when the pastor, Jno. +
Christian, baptized many converts, the
revival at the First Baptist Church
which has been in progress since
May. came to close For the large
congregation which was present in
spite of the inclement evening, the
service was a good one and the bap-
usmai service especially an impress
sive occasion. Or. Lee X. Scarbor-
ough, the evangelist, and Mr.. and Mrs.
left for their homes in Fort Worth,
Texas.
AS through the entire meeting, DR..
ScarbOroughs last sermon here. was
on the way to salvation for the lost
He selected his text in Revelation,
1920, Behold, | stand at the door and
knock: if any man hear my voice and
open the door, | will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with
me-" These words" he said, mot on
ly contain the process of salvation,
or the way of life but some matchless
revelation of truth.
THE first truth revealed is that
Jesus Christ stands at the door and
knocks. 1t is a spiritual fact that the
worlds redeemer cOndescends to come
to your soul and knock. BY actual ex-
perence in my sorrows and tempta-
tions I've found that God does stand
at the door and knock.
"A second revelation is, that Jesus
Christ dwells in the souls of men. IN
side experimental religion, with Christ
in the soul is the sweetest blessing
that God has sent us here. His spirit
witnesses with my spirit that am the
child of God.
Another truth revealed is the pro
cess of salvation. Here is Christ stand
ing at the door and knocking, where
he stands sometimes for years and
even decades. | know a miner who
went into Mexico and never attended
church for 40 years, and yet he said
that Christ stood at his door all those
years and continued to knock. This
knocking Of Christ is the very first
process in salvation, the next being
the hearing of Gods voice The next /
step is the opening of the door of the /
heart, the indication of the scripture J
being that the opening takes place |,
from the inside. 1t is clearly shown |
that human volitiOn plays great part
in salvation. Christ never forces his !
way in as a burglar. The key that |
unlocks the human heart hangs on the /
inside The final process revealed, is
the entrance of God. A great many
people want to have great feeling. but
feeling is a result of, and not the cause |
of salvation Let Christ in and the |
feeling will come.
you must let Christ go down into /
the very subsoil of your soul. You can /
no more get into heaven by reforma-
ton than you can lift yourself by |
your own boot-straps. Salvation is
Jesus Christ on the inside of the be-
lieving. repentant soul. After this
because you love Christ-comes bap-
tism, church membership, contribution |.
TO his cause, JOY and peace. The great
task tonight is to let Christ come into
your heart by faith.

SCHOOL OF MINES
WORK BROADENED
Nsw Contract Signed With Govern

ance to Mining Men Of the West.

The announcement OF Dean Joseph
T. Merrill OF the school Of mines IN
the University OF Utah that q new
contract has been signed with officials
Of the United States bureau Of mines.
10 Of more importance than appears
on the surface. 1t means that the
metallurgical work in the university
can be carried on more extensively
than ever before
And what Is this "metallurgicar
work? Just this. Utah contains vast
quantities OF low grade Elnc and lead
ores which have not been developed
because no commercial processes
have been found for extracting the
minerals. The whole purpose OF the
bureau OF mines here at the present
time is the discovering of such pro
cesses.
Research work OF an intensive char
acter Is being carried on in the uni.
versity laboratories with this objec.
tive aim. Four big companies are
maintaining men there. Besides these
there are number OF graduate stu.
dents doing special work in metal
lurgy. Any student graduated from
the mining or chemical courses can
enter this department for his masters
degree, and there are various fellow.
ships to aid such students.
Nothing which is discovered or de-
veloped in these laboratories can be
patented by individuals. 1t belongs to
the public, having been done at pub
lie expense.
The University OF Utah Is now one
OF the best places in the United States
for such research work Salt Lake
City Is the greatest smelling center
in the country, so the nearness Of
mines and smelters offers fine oppor
tunity for actual contact The bureau
Of mines here receives an annual ap
preparation from the national govern
ment Of about $4,000 while the uni
versity department with which II viii
work in the closest cooperation re
ceives from the state about $500 pei

GREEKS IN CLASH

TWO MORE NATIONS DRAGGED
INTO MAELsTRoM OF THE
EUROPEAN WAR.
Greek Troops Engage euloarIans In
Bloody Battle In Greek Mace
donia.--Roumania Has MebH-
lied immense Army.

London.-Events in the Balkans,
following each other with dazzling
rapidity. threaten to drag two more
nations, Roumania and Greece, into
the maelstrom of the European war.
The crisis has admittedly been
reached in Bucharest. while Greek
troops, by engaging the Bulgarians In
a bloody battle in Greek Macedonia.
may lead the Athens government 10
enter the arena, even against its own
desire.
A startling new phase Of the situa-
ton reached the public eye for the
first time on Tuesday with the news
that Roumania has completely mobil-
lied her army OF 100000 and that
Russia has landed more troops at
Saloniki to cooperate with the Brit
ish, French, Italians and Serbians.
Both these important developments,
now weeks old, have been religiously
withheld from public knowledge by
the entente censors. The news was
allowed to leak out without comment
by officials.
The first Russian detachment land
ed at Saloniki on July 81. Since that
time additional Russian corps have
arrived, a dispatch from Saloniki rel
porting the arrival Of new forces MP
later than Tuesday.
The majority of the Russians al
ready have been sent to the 'front.'
where they are fighting side by side
with the Serbians in the Fiorina dis.
trict on the allied left. They are uIl-
der command of General Friederictsz
and the first groups came from France
and Mesopotamia, where they had
joined the French and British, re-
spectively, during the winter. Later
arrivals are said to have travelled all
the way from Archangel.
Berlin admittedly views the situa
ton in Roumania in the grayest light
but the unexpected development oI
Greek troops. acting on their owT
initiative, engaging the BuIgarians IN
battle makes the position Of Greece
even more important.
