"SEARCH ME" IS
 SUBJECT TREATED
 BY REV STEPHENS
Crowd of 1900 Heard Heart Searching and Appeal
 ing Sermon.

the Stephens tabernacle last night, and they enjoyed a most interesting sermon by the revivalist, Rev. Geo. Stephens, supplemented with de- lightful song program.
 His subject for the night was, Search Mel" His text was taken from Ps. cxxxix 23, ,24,viz:
 Search me, o God, and know my heart: try me. and know my thoughts.
 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
 He adhered rigidly to his text throughout his sermon, interspersing it with numerous similes apropos to the text, and bringing it nearer to the heart of every nearer.
 He said it was impossible to i'm prove or to change thar personal pronoun, for it meant me" ill the case of every man and woman, and every true Christian will as in his or heart, See me, o God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts"
 Every Christian should search his heart to see if he or she is right; to see that there is no wicked way in him or her, and allow God to lead the way into everlasting life.
 No man can lift another higher than himself If his heart is not clean, he will not be able to lift any one. If one prays from his heart there will be no harm in him, for he will live up to the teachings of the Lords prayer. Many are hypocrites, but they don't know it, for they will not search their heart. He made an earnest appeal for all men and women to get right with God.
 Mrs. Powell sang a solo, Bird With the Pinions Broken" before the ser mon, and at the close sang "Help Me to Be Holy" MT. James played a cornet solo.
