REPENTANCE
HIS TOPIC
Evangelist Huff Preached on This
Vital Subject Last Evening
at Trinity Church.

The sermon preached by EyanSe-
list Huff at Trinity church last night
was a continuation of the one preach
ed the night before on repentance.
lie said,
Repentance means confession OF
our sins to God who is father.
The right conception Of God brings
a spirit of contrition which is cody
sorrow. This kind Of repentance is
deep as hell. for Dives would send
a missionary back to warn his broth
ers. I: Is high as hea-oa, Tor there
is rejoicing among the angels over
one sinner that repents. Confession
OF our sin. is necessary because IN
confessed sins never die. Four men
of the Bible confessed that they
were sinners, but three OF them
went to hell. because their confes-
sion was not genuine Pharoah,
Achan and Judas confessed, but did
not repent and died in their sins.
The prodigal son repented and con-
fessed, and his father restored him.
Repentance which brings confession
and contrition leads to another step.
Let the wicked forsake his way
You have to forsake your sin before
God will forgive. If your right hand
offend you cut 1t on, says jesus
We say put 1t in a sling If your
! right eye offend you pluck 1t out,
says Jesus. We say poultice 1t, and

Genuine repentance will cause me

hand. I have no right to set an
example before your boy which will

Less than this will take me to the
grave, but only Bible repentance will
take me to the skies. Restitution is
another mark Of repentance. IL

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

eve understand that Mr.. H. r. Cayton
stated in his last issue that young Attorney
Clarence R. Anderson may have cut off his
nose to spite his face when he had a bench
warrant issued for the arrest of Chief Beck
ingham We wonder if Mr.. H. R. Cayton
cut off his nose to spite his face when he
entered suit against the cafeteria for not
serving him. The suit ended very abruptly
for reasons best known to Mr.. H. R. Cay
ton. THE (Seattle) Searchlight.
The editor hereof remembers very dis
tinctly of the ending Of that trial, and
hundreds Of other co]ored men and women
also remember it, for, since that time, it
has been impossible for any one of them to
get meal in any of the uptown restaur-
ants and cafes, owing to prejudice to color.
Judge Ronald in that case practically ruled
that. colored man had no rights that the
restaurant keeper need respect. In other
words. the proprietors of such places of ac-
comodations could openly insult colored
customers just so they did not actually re-
fuse to serve them, and yet be in the bounds
Of the law, and the restaurant keepers TAX
ing advantage Of that ruling, have made it
so unpleasant for would-be colored custom
ers that none Of them ever ask to be ac-
commodated in them. Had that suit been
taken to the supreme court it would have
settled much mooted question and in all
probability the supreme court would have
reversed Judge Ronald, but the plaintiff

I'm SORRY; I WAS WRONG. "

There may be virtue in the man
Who's always sure he's right,
Who ii never hear another's plan
And seek no further light;
But I like more the chap who sings
A somewhat different song;
Who says, when he has messed upthings,
"Im sorry I was wrong"
It s hard for any one to say
That failures due to him
That he has lost the fight or way
Because his light burned dim.
It takes man aside to throw
The vanity that s strong,
Confessing: " Twas my fault, I know,
I'm sorry; [ was wrOng.'
And so, I figure, those who use
This honest, manly phrase,
Hate it too much their way to lose
On many future days.
They keep the path and make the fight,
Because they do not long
TO have to say'when they're not right
I'm sorry I was wrong.''

1t is rather remarkable that the two larg-

Company, are not guilty of giving single
coored person employment, though the col

extent Of thousands Of dollars each year
Each of these companies have recently lost
big strikes, which cost them not less than
million dollars, when they might have saved
much of that amount by employing coored

Of your losing many millions more if you
