the belief expressed by Rev. w. A.

Christian church last night.

in exhorting the congregation to
get out larger attendance, that
South Bend might reap a wealth OF
real good from the revival. IF
people tended 10 their business as
they do 10 their religion there
would be a whole lot OF financial

OPINIONS OF PEOPLE
HELD TOO IMPORTANT
Not Enough Concerned I'm What
God Thinks of Us, Says
Rev. III. l.. Davis.

THE thing that is keeping many
more concerned with what people
think OF us than with what God
thinks OF u.s." were the words by
which Rev. Henry L. Davis at the
First NJ. r. church explained his
text taken from Daniels prophecy
5:27. Thou are weighed in the
balance and found wanting"
1T is laughable TO see how much
some men weigh in their own es-
timation." Rev. Davis said. They
are men who when weighed TO the
standards OF a social set are judged
good fellows and their record in
Bradstreet and Dunn reads 100 per-
cent. but the crucial test of these
men is how do they weigh I'm the
balances of the Almighty. He judges
every man and woman regardless of
standing. regardless of wealth. re-
gardless Of citizenship. The balances
OF God are the ten commandments
They tell us as clear as crystal what
He expects OF u.s.
Rev Davis then named and brief
iy discussed the ten commandments
laying special stress on the first one.
Thou shalt not have strange gods
before me" This, the speaker said.

ship. but also 10 devotion to such
worldly gods as pleasure. money and
even human persons.
Success attended the efforts Of the
speaker when as the closing hymns

declared his intention OF adopting

If you are 20 keep from making
mistake. A Christian is one who
adds strength % strength. our faith
should be so that good deeds which
were hard for us before are made
easy and sin once so alluring, is
made hard. Many people are not

they keep on there will be a time
when they can overcome the world.
Remember that Christ said. "love
not the world nor the things Of the
world or you shall be condemned"
Keeping OF the commandments
was declared by the speaker TO be
the last characteristic of the Chris
tian. Our conscience cannot always

VALUE OF PERSONAL
WORK SERMON SUBJECT
Congregation at Westminster Pres
byterian Shows willing
ness to Assist

sometimes" declared Rev. A
Christy Brown, pastor of the West
minister Presbyterian church in an
address to his congregation last
evening, 81 think il would be more
honorable TO go square into the pit
of darkness than to stand in the
way Of the progress of the king
dom"
The sermon dealt with the value
of personal work in the saving of
souls. DIT. Brown pointed out cases
where personal work had done
much in saving of souls of persons
whom ministers could not reach.
He showed how it was Gods inten-
ton that we, as his disciples, should
help the non-Christians.
There is an explanation for the
lack of work along this line" ne
continued. I'VE are timid by ma
ture. We feel the greatness Of the
task and our lack of power. The
reason for the most part is that we
do not love Christ enough and have
no passion for souls. Our hearts
do not beat in sympathy with that
of the Saviour who gave His life on
the cross.
I'VE do not understand our mis-
sion. The idea of many Christians
is TO get to heaven on bed of flow
ers. We must give Christianity to
those who do not have 1t. We know
that we are unworthy and il shears
us of our powers. God planned for
His disciples to do this work but
TO do il we must get right with God.
Most of us are living like parasites,
We sit occasionally in our pews and
do nothing more. We call for more
preaching and yet give none TO our
more unfortunate brother"
Dr. Brown then showed what a
truly great thing il was 10 save a
soul. how angels are denied this
work that Christians have a chance
TO do. That when we are doing this
work, we are doing the viii OF God.
A cali was issued for those who
wished to render personal services,
nearly the entire congregation re-
spending. The women of the church
have been holding prayer meetings
during the past week. and much
work has been accomplished, as the
splendid attendance last evening
showed. Special music by chorus
choir and a solo by Leslie Whit
comb of the Mccormick TheolOgi-
cal seminary of Chicago.

UESELFlSH PRAYER is
ONLY EFFECTIVE KIND
People Are Urged to Seek General
Good Rather Than Personal
Advantage.

Prayer is a spiritual approach to
God in the name of Jesus Christ
and by the power of the Holy
Ghost" declared Rev. ]. A. Groves
evangelist, in his sermon last night
at the Conference Memorial church
on S. st. Joseph st. THE outpOur-
ing OF the sentiment of the soul in
worship which is called prayer, re-
veals God to us as a person who can
see, feel, hear and sympathize with
us as a father, and also give us
vision OF ourselves" asserted the
speaker That some people lie in
their prayers" the preacher illus
trated by pointing out that often
people on being received into the
church declare L would not give my
faith for all the world. and then
they give il up for a nickel show"
Explaining the characteristics of
effective prayer. Rev. Groves showed
the necessity of being hopeful and
having confidence. He illustrated the
point by narrating the story of the
lady who prayed for the removal of
hill. and on finding the hill un-
changed the next morning, declared,
'There-as 1 expected" The evan
gelist urged the people 10 strive for
unselfsh prayer. and seek general
good rather than personal advant-
age.
when you come into church.
don't chit and chat and allow your
children TO make a playhouse out of
the house of God" Rev. Groves ad-
monished. and asked all 10 show a
spirit Of reverence while in the house
of worship. Whether we lie down
or stand up makes little difference
as long as we pray well was pointed
out by the speaker.
Somebody would pray all night
for Brother Jones If he Joined our
church. but l would not pray five
minutes if he Joined some other fell
lows church." the evangelist de-
clared to be a poor attitude for a
Christian.
Tonight the Rev. J. A. Groves will
conclude the subject Of prayer, tell
ing of the hindrances and helps to
prayer. and show what kind Of pray
er is most prevalent in the world to-
day.

FORMAL|TY MAY
PREVENT SUCCESS
Rev. r. |. Champion Declares
Conscience Will Tell Man
Whether He is Saved.

If there is anything that kills a
revival it's Formally. To you Ia
dies 1 say leave IL at home. Don't
look in the mirror before you leave
the house. Ask your husband how
you look. That is all right. hut do
not come TO church to see your
self" asserted Rev. r. /. Champion,
the evangelist at the Lowell Heights
NJ +. church last night before be-
ginning his sermon on Hypocrisy. ="
He declared that the people Of
God had all they could contend
with without paying any attention
to the hypocrite. The biggest by
pocrite is the man looking for hy-
pocrisy. the man who has no sym
Iathy, he said.
Can a man know he is saved ?"
asked Rev. Champion. II claim he
can. He may know by his five
senses. but what really tells him is
that sixth sense, his conscience.
Many people believe that revivals
accomplish nothing. claiming that
conversions are made as the result
of excitement. If this is true. then
excitement is Sweeter than the
honey OF the honeycomb. If relig-
ion is excitement, give us more of
it,"
Special music was provided for
the services. A duet was sung by
Miss Ethel Phelps and L. d. Reed.
A special choir. led by Miss Bernice
Bennett at the piano, sang several
numbers.
Rev. Champion will hold a meet
ing for men only at the church at
$3.50 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Each of the 100 men present at
last nights services was requested
TO bring two Ahers with him. Spe.
cial music will be furnished at the
Sunday evening meeting. which is
expected to be one OF the biggest
of the revival.

BROTHERLY LOVE
IS HARD TO IND
Five Binth Marks of a Chris.
tan is Topic of the Rev.
Charles E. Watkins.

IN his sermon at the First Bap-
list church last night. Rev. Charles
r. Watkins OF Muncie. Ind. preach
ed sermon delineating the Five
Birth Marks Of a Christian" He said
that there came 10 every one. a
time when they desired 20 take
stock in themselves and TO ascertain
their spiritual temperature. To do
that there are five characteristics
that the world looked 20 as the
marks OF a Christian.
Acceptance of Christ as the Saw
Jour" the speaker said. lis the first
birth mark The Christian may not
be able 20 prove things by cold Iogi-
cal reasoning but he has a guiding
star that he knows Is right, and has
things everlastingly settled. After
his conversion on the road 20 Da-
mascus. ID took Paul three years to
settle some questions in his own
mind When YOU find "A Christian
who spends half his time trying 10
find out il he has eternal life and
the other half trying TO retain what
ne has, you may be sure ne has not
located a point from which he can
work. IL is possible 10 have treasured
up in as. eternal life. a thing that
does not change but becomes more
precious as time goes on. When a
man has repented and accepted
Christ as his pole star. he does not
have 10 go back and revise his be-
liefs They are then fixed for all
time"
Way To- Express Love.
"IIe dOeth righteousness" con-
tinued Rev. Watkins, because he is
"A child Of God The man who is a
followed Of Christ does things for
God because he is a child of God.
not because by those works he may
merit some reward. II is possible for
every person 10 find a way 70 express
his life and there is something
wrong with the man who will not
do his share toward the work Of
God. The logical fruit of a Chris
tian life is to do things for God
which give inward joy 10 the righte-
Gus Sacrifice Is one OF the ways of
doing a thing pleasing in the sight
