ASKED To
FOLLOW PEOPLE
People These Days Want to Do
the Leading, Says Rev. c.
E. Shiery.

There are four distinct turns in
life OF St John, which emphasize
the true characteristics Of real
Christian today" so said the Rev. G..
+. Shiery. evangelist from Fort
Wayne at the Trinity Presbyterian
church Monday evening on s. Colfax
av and ST. Peter St. where the Rev.
J. s Burns is pastor OF the congre-
cation. The services were we'll at
tended.
Depicting the life OF ST. John. Mr.
Shiery said in part: st John re-
ceived a call from heaven. He fol-
lowed the voice and upon meeting
st. John Baptist. ne was baptized
and after that he realized the i'm
pOrtance of leading a good Christian
life.
The second step in real Christian
life is something more than TO be
leading an honest life. A true Chris
tian must endeavor to find Jesus
Christ In the new testament days,
the Hebrews always led a good life.
q ITO NeA~s iAON NoAt04htAFh " Dt a
Christian. and today we can only
consider a man to be 4 Christian
when Jesus becomes known TO US.
AN additional step in the life OF
ST. John commences from the time
when Jesus persuaded him 10 join
the other apostles and disciples in
order 10 teach the multitudes John
began TO follow Jesus. but today the
Christians instead of following Jesus,
ask Jesus to follow them.
st. John received real joy after
he became one Of the chosen apostles
To be with Jesus constitutes the in
ner circle and this is the kind OF
Joy the Christians should strive for.
Only those who are with Jesus are
happy and are enjoying heavenly
blessings
1T is a blessing worth while If the
Christians are always in the inner
circle and are always with Jesus"
The Evangelist deplored the fact
that many persons appear in court
each requesting that the marriage be
dissolved. such persons did not ask
Jesus whether such life would be
the best thing for them"
Services will continue at the Trim
ity church each evening.

QUESTION MARK
DEVIL SEMbLEM
All Doubt in the World Today
Is Result of Satan'S
First Lie.

"All the doubt that exists in the
world today is the result of the
Devils first lie," asserted the Rev.
Walter Morris at the revival serv-
ices of the Wesleyan Methodist
church, 1922 Z. Broadway, last
night.
The devil began his career in
this world with a question and the
question mark is a fit emblem of the
devil. IL is the form of a serpent
cOiled and ready to strike. When
the serpent struck he left the poison
of doubt in the mind of man. He
suggested to man that he no longer
walk by faith but by right and rea-
son.
For one thousand years man
has reasoned and learned some
things and in a sense he appears as
God But he is a one-sided god;
he knows good and evil, but he fails
to do good. With all his culture,
with all his education. with all his
wealth, man can not attain any
thing worth while if that poison in
jected into the human race by the
devils first lie still remains.
What a wonderful world we
would have If Adam and Eve had
not doubted! There would be no
sin, no sorrow, and no need for
revival, with all it's attendant sac
rifces, had Adam refused to enter
tain the first doubt occasioned by
that first lie. Faith and not doubt
is what the world needs. With faith
we are going to make these services
a great success"

LOW IDEALS OF WORLD
MANS GREAT ADVERSARY
Places Comfort. Gold, Ease Above
Character, Self Respect and
Duty.

Taking for his subject The Van
ity Of the World of Life" Rev. w.
H Freshley of the First Evangel-
zeal church Monday evening used
for his text Love not the world
neither the things that are Of the
world. If a man love the world the
love of the Father is not with him."
I'VE have many adversaries." said
Rev Freshley, but there is one
that is relentless, that offers con-
slant defiance and siege 20 the soul.
In the New Testament II is called
the world. This enemy comes down
upon us like the pressure of the at
mosphere and we cannot resist il
unless we are aided by the spirit of
God.
AS we are to live in this world
while we prepare for the next. there
is danger OF becoming worldly
minded instead Of heavenly minded.
The world has low ideals. 1t values
gold more than character, comfort
more than self-respect, ease more
than duty. the opinions OF men
above consciousness, and liberty
above Righteousness.
The Christian life does not con-
sist in merely making profession, or
going 10 church, or observing the
ceremonies and rites Of the church.
but it consists in following Christ,
in overcoming the world, and in liv-
ing a Christian life. The ease. sat
isfaction and indifference OF this
world are the greatest obstacles that
must be overcome by the church
today We wonder sometimes why
the power of the church has weak
ened. II is because the world has
shut out the spirit OF God from en-
tering the soul OF the faithful Nine
out Of ten are satisfied with staying
al home instead Of attending prayer
meeting. although all agree that
prayer meeting Is one Of the essen
tial parts of living church body"

NEED LAYMEN' 8
HELP IN REVIVAL
Cannot Be Successful Unless
They Cooperate, Says Rev.
A. ChriSty Brown.

How 10 make the revival ser
vices worth while" was the subject
of a sermon delivered last evening
at the Westminster Presbyterian
church by Rev. A. Christy Brown.
in which he delineated four vital
things for the laymen to do in order
to accomplish results.
If We are 10 achieve results, -
said Rev Brown. Eve must have the
right conception of sin. To do that,
we must have a vision similar to
that OF Christ. Fools make mock
of sin. We should know what it is
TO break Gods law"
Prayer was cited as another road
TO evangelistic success, the early
Christians who spent most of their
time in prayer being held examples.
There is no more power" continu-
ed the speaker, lin the minister.
than there is in the layman. A min
lister should have the power of
prayer. but petitions ought TO be
specific"
Following an urgent appeal for
the bond of sympathy between the
pastor and congregation, Rev.
Brown asked that Christians might
testify at revival services. He show
ed that the early Christians were
akin TO the people Of this age. in
that they had duties as we'll as re-
liglous privileges.
Duties did not fall upon the
apostles alone, but on the people al
so. After the Pentecost, one can find
the names of only three of the old
apostles. Others had taken their
places. The early Christian thought
IL his duty to bear testimony TO his
fellow. In a history of that people.
Gibbons says, IT was the sacred duty
OF the convert to diffuse among his
friends. the inestimable blessing
bestowed upon him
Evangelistic singing preceding the
sermon, was lead by l.. c. Whitcomb.
Miss Jessie ellis rendered a pleas
ing vocal solo. Following the bene-
diction. the church trustees held
meeting in the pastors study.
AT this evenings services at 1880
o'clock. the pastor will speak upon
the theme. Passion for Souls" A
call for converts is 70 be issued at
this time

NEGLECT COD IN
THEIR PROSPERITY
Too Many Men Today Are
Asleep So Far as Religion
Is Concerned.

Awake thou that sleepest!
Awake TO the awfulness Of sin!
Awake to the fact that there is a
Judgment? Awake to the fact that
there is a hell" So urged the Rev.
II. p. Dunlop. the evangelist. last
night, who is conducting the re-
vivaI services at the Hope Chapel
Presbyterian church.
Rev. Dunlop read the story Of
Lot and the destruction of the an
cient cities of Sodom and GomOrrah
by fire and birthstone. That is
what God thinks of SIM" he ex-
planned. Those ancient people were
like some men of today who must
be down and out before they will
look up to God. They were asleep
and men must be awakened out OF
their sleep, for there is danger for
those that sleepeth.'
Again the evangelist emphasized
the Importance of prayer, preach
the last being the work of the men,
bers of the congregation. More
things have been wrought by prayer
than this old world can dream. II
you are a Christian, someone has
prayed for you, and we have the
sweet privilege of praying for 9TH
ers. 1t is more important to talk
TO about people than to talk to
people about God"
1T means something 10 be a
Christian" asserted the preacher
1T means that you and 1 are re-
sponsible In the sight of God for
ether men, for he said. Every
branch in me that doth not bring
forth fruit taketh away The es-
sential thing to GO is TO get one or
more truths tonight which you can
take out and discuss with others.
You people are getting charged and
surcharged with the truth OF God.
and you must give it out TO 9TH
ers."
BE kind, and sweet and gentle,
even as our Lord" he advised, for
remember that you represent Jesus
by what you do. more than by what
you are. Go out and talk to your
brethren. for we must carry the
gospel to them If they will not come
TO US"
Besides the regular singing of the
congregation the musical program
Of the evening was composed of a
solo by the pastor. George William
Allison. r. D., and a piano duet by
Miss Lucille SnoOr and Miss Mildred
Turner.
In addition TO the regular even
ing services tonight there will be a
special meeting OF the women with
Mrs. Dunlop at the church at $3.50
this afternoon. 10 which everyone is
asked 10 bring a friend. preferably
one outside OF the congregation.

BIG
PART OF REVIVAL
Rev. ]. A. Groves Declares
Nothing Has Ever Been AC-
CompliShed by Lethargy.

Declaring that we enjoy the shows
and tolerate the church and expect
to enter heaven, Rev. J. A. Groves,
superintendent of the evangelistic
work in the st. Joseph conference
of United Brethren, continued the
revival services at the Conference
Memorial church last night

and not men," said Rev. Groves;
the revival is not among sinners,
but among the church people. We
vival. The revival comes before
conversion and conversion is a re-
suit
There are many people who do
not believe IN a revival, but a re-
vival is what we need. They brand
il as a time of excitement and of
no avail"
Then the speaker queried the
audience. asking them If there were
ever a more exciting time than that
during the establishment of the
church by Christ Nothing. he said.
can be accomplished without excite
ment, proving his statement by IL
Illustrations from every day life.
Brings People Together.
Excitement brings people to-
gether." Rev. Groves continued,
"and the revival results in remov-
ing fire from heart TO heart"
Enumerating the benefits from a
revival the speaker declared that
they heal up the wounds among
those who are members of the
church and brings them closer to-
gether. that with the coming of the
spirit Of God the people are made
humble. II brings those into the
fold who are lazy. who are afflicted
with a spiritual illness, and makes
them more willing TO do their part
in The work Of the church. Ii brings
new life TO the organization OF the
church and instills a real interest in
the laborers in the vineyard of God.
Rev. c. r. Boyer. pastor OF the
church. led i'm the congregational
singing. He announced that Tues
day night Rev. Groves would meet
the Sunday school teachers at the
close Of the services and that on
Wednesday evening the evangelist
would address the Christian En-
deavor members following the reg
ular revival services.
