WAGES OF SIN
is THE TOPIC
Evangelist tufts Sermon Is Profound
and Great Crowd 10 Held
SpeiIbound.

The sermon preached by Evangelist
Huff at Trinity church last night was
so profound and yet SO simple that
the hearers hung on every word.
Taking the words, THE Wages of
Sin is Death and ITO be carnally
minded is DEATH" as his text, he
pointed out the two aspects of sin.
'tOut OF the heart are the issues of
life" If we do sin, we are sinful.
He said, "Sin is not rightly under
stood. We are excusing sin away.
We do not believe that sin brings
death. Sin Is no respecter OF per
sons. 1t goes into the homes of the
refined and brilliant. Many Of the
poor sots in the city slums are from
the colleges and universities. But
none of these ever intended to land
in the slum. They trifled with sin.
II you go to the prisons where men
are on account OF crime, or II you go
to the underworld of the cities where
men and women have drffted on &C
count of sin, yol must say they were
not born there, and they did not in
tend to go there, but their sin put
them there"
Rev Huff pointed out the reason so
many christians are powerless. He
Sd" tIlt IccoOh al thC Ctii hoi ioIoA c
TO be carnaIIy minded is death"
When a christian is first converted he
enjoys a great peace in his heart, but
many lose it after days or months go
by. Many have new found joy a
conversion, but they often lose it
Many have warm, tender sympathy
for others at conversion, but they
soon forget and become critical Every
christian begins to pray when he
finds his Savior, but many forget IL
after time. With the coming Of
Christ into a life there comes new
love for Gods truth, but thousands
soon forget 1t. Every young christian
is anxious to tell of his salvation and
try to win others to his Savior, but
rrost folks soon forget 1t, all because
Of the carnal mind.
