I'm part, Rev. Freshley said:
There are many people in this
world who are anxious TO ascer-
tain the secret that makes the
church attractive as a soul-saving
institution. The secret is not found
in good preaching on the minister 5

The fundamental thing-the real
ton is the prayers" he declared
To fulfill Christ's mission is 10

OF a true Christian.
'As food and exercise are essen

necessary for the soul We cannot

We pray every day. Women do not

WITH THE REVIVAL PASTORS IN THE SOUTH BEND CHURCH
Success Often ProUes Our Worst
and Greatest Enemy Says Pastor

Children numbering is made
their first confessions at the Hope
Chapel Presbyterian church last
evening. The music consisted of
solos and selections by an orchestra
of five pieces. Rev II. p. Dunlop
delivered the discourse, choosing as
his text, Create clean heart
within me, on Lord, and renew a
right spirit within me-"
The speaker gave a sketch Of the
life OF David showing his rise from
a shepherd boy to the kingship Of
Israel. He pointed out how sin
gained a firm hold upon him and
dragged him down only to be res
Cued by God He also showed how
sincere David was in his repentance
and how he asked the Lord for mer-
cy.
David found sin TO be his worst
enemy" said the preacher. and 1t
is our worst enemy today. All of
our worldly enemies are small COM
pared to that tempter that is within
us. The greatest battle in Europe
today can not compare with the
fight that goes on within US when
the tempter comes. Were not the
right man, Jesus, on our side we
would loose the battle but he has
promised us that He will help US
fight the tempter and He will ever
fulfill His promise.

SIN CANNOT Be
MET HALF WAY
Falling In With Worldly Things
Is Like Playing With
Snakes.

If there is a message for me,
keep me in thy will. This" said
Rev. J. A. Groves last night al the
Conference Memorial church. lis
the prayer that people should have
in their hearts when attending re-
vival meetings"
1T is a great encouragement TO
read the lives of the Evangels." de-
clared the speaker They were
men like us and yet they had ire
mendous power. 1t is written, AS
/ was with Moses so will I be with
you The Lord brought him out of
Egypt and across the sea and as he
helped him so will he help us We
have just as great a claim in prayer
upon God as any other man; we
have just as great a right as Moses
and Joshua TO demand help"
Rev. Groves then exhorted mis-
people TO become Christian fighters.
The devil has been conquered and
whipped and we have not half as
much reason to be afraid of him as
we have 10 be afraid of ourselves.
Jesus is with us and with His help
we will always have a winning night.
Rev Groves had no patience with
people who fall in with worldly
things. 1t is like playing with
snakes" he said. They are still
L. \
and tanned or whether they have
been leased 10 a maddened fury. We
cannot dOmesticate sin any more
than we can the snakes. We can
not go half way on the side of the
devil TO win the world for God. We
must fight all the way through.
1T is a dreadful thing to be lost
in the world, 10 lose our sense OF
direction, but that is nothing COM
pared to the matter of losing ones
way in religion. a man can so
wrong and think he is going the
right way. Who is going 10 tell this
man that he is on the wrong track ?
who Will tell him that he is not
leading the right life? 1t is up to
you and to see thu. he is lost and
tell him.
such a lost man is sin-sick and
does not know where TO 90 to find

is 10 bring him TO Jesus and the best
way to bring a man TO Jesus is To

They simply haven't seen the

Davis explained. They merely want

The reason for this is that when
man gets 10 be a success he thinks
he can leave God out OF his work.
but when he does this he is defeat
ed in his battle and hell is his pun
ishment
David turned against God when
he sinned but the great love Of God
for him caused him 10 change his
ways and repent" From this the
speaker drew an apt smile. show
ing how fond parents are likely to
countenance small faults in their
children which later grow into
tendencies for greater sin. After
these sins have once been implant-
ed the chastisement necessary to
remedy the faults is necessarily
much more severe. II was his adj
vice that parents should not permit
their love blind them to the neces-
sity of curbing the tiny faults and
sins OF their children.
Most people that are sincere try
TO be so polished that the outside
world will not take them for any
other but true Christians" he
charged in revealing sinners in their
true colors. This is true of near
ly all sinners today. They try TO
put on a new front or veneer to
hide their real selves. The hearts
of these people are rotten and they
are just like apples with rotten CEN

Faith Wonderful
For Through it
LoUe is Possible

In the sermon on The Lever
That Moves the World" delivered
by Rev w. A. Brundige at the In
diana Avenue Christian church
Monday evening. the value and ne
cessity Of faith was shown; how il is
acquired. how IL works in the hu-
man heart. and how IL is the found
alton Of all cur life Faith is the
lever that moves the world Rev.
Brunidge exclaimed. 1T was the
first thing in the world. for by faith
God made the world. and occupies a
place in holding the world together.
Just as it is the foundation Of all
life. so il will be the last thing on
earth, for Christ declared that he
would come to reward the just and
punish the wicked. 1t is wonderful
because of what il does. for it pro-
duces love in the heart
Faith produces great effects in
our family life, for it is the corner
stone upon which marriage is
based. Without mutual faith and
confidence the foundation of the
home would be destroyed, and loss
of these essentials often means a
divorce. Faith prepares the soul by
making it ready for the dwelling
place Of Christ, and is the onfy
thing that will make the impure
soul pleasing in the sight Of God"
There will be a special lecture
this evening. the subject being
Your Child and Mine" The pas
tor has made a careful study of the
needs of the child during his min
istry of 20 years, and is well quail
fed to speak on their problems.

ALL SALVATION
COMESFROM GOD

There is only one way 20 be saw
ed and that is through Cod. declar-
ed Rev. NJ. c. Hunt al the Trinity
NJ. f. church last evening I'm his
sermon on salvation from God
Next Sunday services viii oe Tor
women only.
There are two facts that are
rather widely denied. but which ale
clear 10 all who read the Bible They
are the existence Of sin and the act
of salvation" according 20 the pas
tor. However. il is only those who
do not read the Bible that have
trouble In Deneving il. Those who
read the Bible regularly and prayer
fully are not troubled by its con-
tents.
When some one denies the fact
of sin it is because ne has some rea-
son for doing so. A man that is
honest will acknowledge that there
is sin in human life and that he has
az some time been in the state or
sin. The fact OF sin hardly needs
proof. for even those who deny b.
have felt the effects OF sin. Sin
means merely the separation OF the
soul from Christ. A person may
never have broken "A commandment
and still be in sin. We are born iu
sin. an alien 10 Christ. and unles-
we swear loyalty TO Him by a posi-
tive act we remain an enemy 20 God
and are in sin.
salvation is also often denied
Some believe that they can save
themselves without the aid Of Chris
But this is a grave error for it
one man can save himself then
everyone could do likewise. and
Christ would not have had 10 die
The Tragedy of Calvary would have
been a farce.
The other error is that per
son believes himself 10 deep I'm sin
for God 20 save him. There is no
impossible case for God. however. if
the person is only willing 10 give
himself 10 Christ. All sins can Zee
forgiven by God"

THREE CHANGES IN
REAL REPENTANCE
Mind. Heart. and Conduct Are AZ
fectcd by the Real Con-
version

Turn We from idols 10 God" be-
gan Rev. Charles r. Watkins. state
evangelist at the First Baptist
church last night. i'm his sermon on
Repentance" He stated that i'm the
word OF God. we find many out
standing doctrines and repentance is
one OF the most important. Continu-
ing he said that repentance means
a change of mind followed by q
change Of aCtionA genuine repentance
requires that you change your mind
about Coo MANY people OF South
Bend have "a wrong attitude toward
the word OF Cod There must be first
change of mind. then a change of
heart. and then change OF con-
duct"
lie said that people should not
regard God as a Tar of Diety, they
should remember that lie has
welcome from all highways and by
ways. He told of two men who had
not spoken for eight years one
man sat on one side Of the church
with his friends and the other one
occupied the remaining side with
his associates. During a revival they
became friends Rev Watkins gave
this a. an illustration 10 show the
steps 20 repentance. There was first
a change OF mind. change OF heart
and then a change OF conduct.
The curse OF today is that men
DO not see sin as God see ia he
asserted.
