INTEREST GROWING IN GREAT
UNION EVANGEL|STIC NEE |NGS

Sunday night the evangelist did not
preach on any definite text, his theme
bsing simply, Preparedness. He
argued that all people should prepare
Tor the inevitable, for DEATH by giving
their souls NOW into the keeping of
God.
Miss Marguerite Cooper, aecompa-
MED by Mrs. L. A. Cooper, readered
"a pretty violin solo while the collect
ION was being taken up. Whether the
music had any effect or not we don't
know but there was an unusually large
collection. The choral singing is still
improving. 1t seems pity that after
two more weeks the whole great choir
will break up, perhaps never to sing
again in body to Fitzgerald people.
It Is such fine choir that there ought
70 be some way to preserve it,
Bob Jones started out by sayiag
that we needed more "Hell-seared"

Titled as they are 1t was whole

Jones Christian.
1t is only the fool that is unafraid.
The wise man fears because he knows
But the fool, unafraid, du.ing times
of safety, proves the greatest coward
in the last hour. While the wise man
makes his preparation while he has
time and when the death angels chill
breath fans his face, he meets his fate
urafraid.
Life insurance is taken out by every
family man who has any love for his
family or respect for himself. There
is hardly a citizen who does not hold
policy to protect his family after
he dies. Bob Jones said he was a
strong believer in life insurance and
carried all he could afford. But that
lis not enough.
There is another kind of life in
sarance we need. 1t is.thc kind that
insures us for an eternal life beyond
the grave. Death is highly repulsive
matter to talk about or think about.
But death is the one inevitable thing.
In all the human race there have
been but two who did not die. Enoch
was translated and Elijah was carried
into heaven in a chariot of FIRE.
The preacher defended the telling
of "death-bed stories" as a method Of
bringing souls to repentance. Death is
the gateway into eternity When you
