SUNDAY SERVICES
FOR THE REVIVAL

DESPITE the inclement weather,
quite large number of people were
present at the First Methodist church
Friday night, to hear Evangelist
Arthur Moore.
Mr.. Moore used as his subject the
story of the "Rich Young Ruler In
a masterful way, Mr.. Moore portrayed
to his listeners the good qualities
which this young man had, and what
he lacked to inherit eternal life. You
will note" said the speaker, that TINS
Young ruler had kept the command
ments from his youth up, that morally
he was without blemish, and that he
had everything that the world at large
considers essential to being right with
God. But when Jesus said, sell ali
that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and follow me- the young ruler buck
ed. He was willing to do all that he
thought was essential to being a
Christian, but when it came to sur
rendering his will to the Lord, and
giving up that which he held dearest
to himself, there was where the
parting of the ways came for the
young ruler. The Bible says He
went to his friends; he had those be-
fore he met Jesus; others say, he
went back to his money and social
cares but he also had them before he
met Jesus. | tell you that If we are
to believe the Bible, that young ruler
went away from the presence of Jesus
that dav into eternal darkness, and
this picture is given US in the Bible
that we may take heed and not get
into the same fix as this young man
was"
Mr.. Moore closed his message by
exhorting his hearers to make up their
minds to surrender their wills to that
of God, and to be ready and willing
to do anything that the Spirit prompts
them to do, in order that they may be
brought to the state of grace intend
ed for them. Mir. Stapleton sung,
why Not Say Yes To The Saviour
Tonight" and this solo was greatly
enjoyed. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Staple
ton will not let service without
singing a gospel song.
! At 11:0O Sunday, there will be
preaching by Mr.. Moore in the audi
forum of the First Methodist Church,
in which both the Methodist churches
are united. The subject for the morn
ing sermon will be "The Past, Its
Contribution to Us, The Future, Our
Debt To It." AT $3.50 p. m. there will
be a mass meeting for everyone at
the First Methodist church, at which
time, the evangelist will preach on
the subject of Bible Repentance. This
is a sermon that no one should fail to
hear. At 7:45 D. M, again at the
preaching, at which time Mr. Moore
will preech from the subject "A NOBLE
Decision.
Monday night Mr.. Stapleton will
deliver his famous Candle Sermon"
for the young folks and children, but
at which service everyone is cordially
invited. This sermon is unique in
every way. Mr.. Stapleton uses candles
for the different types of Christians
ard Church Members, and everyone
can rest assured that they will find
their candle somewhere, before the
sermon comes to an end. No one
should fail to hear this lecture. Mr..
Stapleton is in every place requested
to repeat this sermon, but it is inn
possible to do so, on account of the
work and time consumed in getting
ready for it,
