feitcd, and Christianity shows its reality by the fact that there are some who are counterfeiting it.
 Some say there are so many diff ferent ways aha4 Il ho not know lazy mans excuse. All the churches agree on the fundamentals. Christ died for sin and we are all agreed on this He died for your sin. You can accept this. Don't be lazy and stay away because of this. Some day God will unite us into one big fam fly and where will you be?
 Some think there are things in the Bible which they cannot under stand. Well that is alright. There are things that I do not understand. l do know enough of the Bible to realize my need of salvation, and to accept the Savior. You don't under stand how horse. a COW, a sheep and a goose can eat grass and yet be different creatures, and produce wool, feathers, etc., from the same food. Yet you believe this. You can not understand food yet you do not refuse to eat. Use the same sense in Christianity
 "Others say they don't believe in this kind of meeting. If you think there is too much excitement in this meeting and you want to be Chris tian in 9 quiet place go to the grave yard, for it is quiet
 Still others say there are too many things to give up. You would be willing to give up cancer if the physician would tell you that it had to De taken out. God just wants you to give up your sin. He wants to take the old cancer of sin out of your life. The Christian life is not hard, and not gloomy. God wants His peo- pie to be happy. Some man here will say he wants to be a Christian but he is afraid he cannot hold out You think you would disgrace God if you should in an unguarded moment make mistake if you were a Christian? No, you would not. God is faithful and just to forgive. If you accept Christ and make a mistake afterward, God is there to forgive.
 Another will say he has tried and failed. We'll, my man, many of the business men of any community fail and others make success. Be one of those to make a success. You can do it. All the great men of the Bible failed in some way, yet they were successful. If you surrender. and confess your sins, God will help you to live right. You are good at hold ing out. You have held out most strenuously against God mothers prayers, wife love and all that is good. You are good at holding out for the devil. Use that same strength in holding out for God.
 Still another will say, T want to have the right feeling.' Feeling is only mentioned twice in the Bible and neither time does it have anything to do with salvation. Feelings will not save you. Salvation is not emotion, but a surrendering of your will. Some day you will step over the dead line of God and because you did not feel like being a Christian you will be lost. Believe on Christ. Trust him with your sins and your soul"
 The evangelist made strong ap- peal for those who wanted to be Christians to come forward and take his hand. A large number of both men and women responded. The last two nights of the meeting have shown the great power that is being gen. erated by this campaign.
