Evangelist Declares

"ReViVals must commence first in
our own hearts before they are able
10 do any real work in other ways, 3"
said Rev a V. Babbs. at the StuIl
Methodist church last evening. NO
one can succeed in revival unless
he has prayed much. We must re-
ceive the JUNCTION from the Lord
just as did the kings of old before
they were crowned and the best way
to do that is to call down the power
of God by prayer"
Taking as his theme the CONVEX
sion of Cornelius, the Roman CEN
turiOn, the pastor showed how the
revival must develop if we are TO fol-
low the Biblical style. He said in
part. Cornelius was man of
prayer long before the angel of God
appeared to him, and because he was
a man of prayer, he was a man Of
power. When the Lord is getting
ready TO do any work He gets His
workers together, laying the spirit of
service and devotion upon their
hearts. God rarely reveals himself

to show the people by direct means
that there was new dispensatiOn,

that man is led by faith and not by

Politics and state will take care

are no hinderances put in the way of
our lawmakers. When there is more
religion carried into the cesspoOls of
politics we will have more and better
laws. UNCONVENTIONAL prejudice is
one of the greatest hinderances to
the revival of religion. but we are
getting away from that. The spirit

Holds a Sin Man
Fails TO Repent
is objectionable

ANY sin a man fails 10 repent
OF is the objectionable sin" sum-
med up Rev. J. a. Robinson. speak
ing at the First Church OF the
Brethren last night The only thing
that makes US want TO be good is
the Holy Spirit and if He pleads for
you 10 become a Christian and you
refuse you have committed the un-
pardonable sin. If you are not saved
in this world you will not be saved
at all"
Rev. Robinson began his sermon
with the definitions given by most
men TO the objectionable sin. II was
variOusly defined as TO attribute the
work OF the Holy Spirit 10 the un-
clean spirit in the face of better
knowledge. to reject the story OF the
gospel as it has been preached, TO
be indifferent 10 the invitation Of the
gospel or 20 wilfully and knowingly
deny and resist the truth.
The objectionable sin cannot be
a sin committed without knowing
it; it cannot be a sin against Jesus
Christ because ne said he would
forgive all sins; il is not any one of
the common sins of backsliding.
lying. stealing, murder nor even the
scarlet sin in themselves though
they may lead to it. declared the
speaker
The objectionable sin is a sin
against the Holy Spirit whom we
can offend in three ways; by griev-
the Spirit. by resisting Him
or by quenching His influence
i'm our hearts. This sin is unpardon-
able because the Holy Spirit is the
only revealing power in the world, it
is the only way we may know we
have the truth Of Gods word. He is
Gods only and last means Of sal
vation The spirit is the only sancti-
flying power in all the world that
keeps us from sin. II seals man 10
God and the penalty for breaking

ETERNITY Is BEYOND
CONCEPTION OF MAN
Special Music Will Feature Gervices
at Quincy Street Baptist
Church Tonight.

Though we speak of millions, we
can have no conception OF a mil
lion. Who can conceive of a mil
lion years? Yet eternity is not a
million years, nor a million million
years; it is simply time without end.
And the magnitude of eternity is
beyond the conception of any hu-
man mind. God alone can compre-
bend what is meant by eternity"
So said Rev. George E. Enterline
last evening at the Quincy Street
BAPTIST church in his sermon on
Eternity" This evening his sub
ject Will be a Serious Disease" and
Prof. Lloyd of the First NJ. Z.
church VIII furnish some special
music.
Because we cannot conceive of
eternity many people do not believe
in 1t, but nevertheless it is an incon-
trovertable fact. Because a blind
man doubts there is a sun is no con
tradiction of the fact 1t is also a
fact that we shall live for eternity
somewhere in the next world But
according to the Bible, there are
only two places to which the soul
may go after the end of the world
they are heaven and hell.
God permits US to choose while
We are in tbs life where we desire
to spend our eternity. The two
places are alike in one respect only:
that is in their duration. But in all
other respects they are different.
One is filled with JOY, SINGING and
glory; the other with torment, wall
ing and remorse. II is impossible
after our death TO pass from one of
these places to the other. They are
separated from each other by an
impossible chasm. Where we go we
must stay. 1t is now that we must
determine where we shall remain
in eternity"

and then go out to reap a harvest

said Rev. L. c. Elliott. evangelist at
the Epworth Memorial NJ. +. church,
Tuesday evening. The preacher TOOK
for his topic Jonah and the Whale. 90
In part. Rev. Elliott said: We
never heard about Jonah and the
whale until the Bible was written.
IL was such a noteworthy fact in
the history of the old testament that
it was recorded through Gods grace.
When God places His hand upon
you, do not hesitate for a moment,
but go out and fulfill your mission.
Otherwise you will regret it. Jonah
was told by God TO go out and
preach TO the Levitians, but he dis
obeyed God and entered a boat I'M
til the storm came and Jonah was
cast into the sea and the storm ceas-
ed. Some people are sidestepping
God. but that Will only last for a
short time You cannot fool with
God.
Jonah began TO realize that he
disobeyed the Almighty God when
he found himself in the whale. He
prayed and God gave him another
chance 70 repent for his sin. Some
people are fast asleep in this world
and seem not TO be conscious OF the
great storm I'm this world Some peo-
L.
because they have entered the
church years ago and now they can
refrain from attending church SER
vices.
Jesus Christ is the captain of
the ship in the storm OF the world.
The Lord loves His people so well
that no opportunity will be denied
them for the salvation of their souls.
God will never send a man TO he'll
before he is given a chance TO re-
pent for his sin. Some people viii
stick 10 the saying that they are
Christians even if you point out
their wicked deeds.
Tobacco is the most filthy thing
a professed Christian can use. A
true Christian should never indulge
in the practice of either chewing
or smoking Such a practise impairs
the intellect of the future genera
ton. DID you ever stop 10 realize the
missions? The figures and sums eX-
pended are simply appalling. Mil
lions of dollars go TO waste for such
hlthy things as chewing and smok-
ing.
Worldly pleasures and personal
far surpass the gospel to-
day. The gospel is of a secondary
consideration with us today. The
personal appetite for things, wealth
and honors claims our attention be
fore the gospel. We are living in a
world of pleasure. We are sidetrack-

God will send a calamity on us and
we will awake like Jonah did and
