SUCCESS DUE To
PERSONAL WORK
Attendance at Hope Chapel
Past Two Weeks More
Than Expected.

Some day you will regret that
YOU have said not tonight once too
often when the appeal TO repent and
confess has been directed 10 you.
threatened Rev. H. Z. Dunlop in the
closing sermon Of the revival at the
Hope Chapel Presbyterian church
Sunday night on the theme Elk
causes" After the sermon % con-
fessiOns were added ~ the list
bringing the total up TO 81 for the
two weeks OF the special services.
The attendance at the revival
can not be praised too highly" de-
clared the revivalist after the last
night Never before has the church
seen so many people and We attri-
butte the success that has accom-
panied il 20 the fact that the people
prayed and TO their prayers they
added much personal work"
He ridiculed the man who offered
as an excuse for not joining the
church the fact that he feared that
he would not be able 10 hold out
until the end. He compared his &C
ton to that OF the engineer who re-
fused 10 start his train for a distant
point because he did not have
enough steam in his boiler 10 last
the whole journey.
The laugh and fear Of il has sent
many a young man to hell" esti-
mated the evangelist in speaking Of
the fear that holds many men away
from that which they know is the
right path. They are constrained 10
stay away from church because of
the fear that the boys will laugh
at them if they make earnest efforts
70 lead a 2ood life.
The call Of duty should forbid the
giving to God Of any such excuse
as I don't feel like it " a number
of other excuses were held up to
ridicule by the speaker who show
ed their inadequacy TO answer the
purpose for which they were invent
ed.

TIME is ONE OF GODS
MOST VALUABLE GIFTS

sRy a single act done In a mo-
ment a soul may be saved, but also
a soul may be lost within a moment
by a single thought or deed" de-
cIared Rev. George r. Enterline at
the Quincy Street Baptist church
Sunday evening in his sermon on
Reckoning the Time" Three con-
verts were received yesterday by the
pastor.
Reckoning. as used here. means
taking advantage OF an opportunity
before II passes by: and in order 70
redeem time by seizing every Oppor-
tunity we must act quickly. OppOr-
tuuity has been personified by a
Greek sculpturer in a statute stand
ing on its toes. having wings on its
heel. carrying a long lock of hair in
front. and being bald behind II is
standing on its toes 20 show that il
is ready 10 be OF in a moment; the
wings represent the swiftness with
which il travels: the lock OF hair in
front indicates that il may be seized
as IL approaches. but being bald be-
hind IL can not be grasped once il
has passed by. And so. in truth. il

NO matter by what standards you
measure time. Il IS one of the most
valuable things God has ever given

supply and demand. il is extremely
valuable"

EVERY MAN MUST
ANSWER TO GOD
Hiding Behind Others Will Get
You Nothing, Declares
Rev. B. R. Wiener.

Il sometimes think that if God
could find a place in heaven for
these hypocrites that He would take
them from this world for the bene-
fit Of the church." Numbered Rev.
b. r. Wiener. special speaker at the
First Evangelical church Sunday
night in his sermon on Personal
Responsibility" Rev Wiener also
delivered the regular sermon Sun
day morning ard a special address
TO the young people of the congre-
cation just preceding the evening
service.
He pictured the scene at the
great judgment of the last day.
when the sins of each would be re-
vealed in the books OF the omnis-
cient God: There we shall stand
before the judgment bar OF God and
face the record of the deeds done
in the flesh. recorded in Gods rec
ord. just as we in our memory know
that we have committed them" Fol
lowing his appeal one convert was
added TO the congregation in addi-
ton to the Is secured after the
mornings meeting.
The sermon was drawn oft into
three divisions; first, the response
bility of the individual toward his
fellOwmen and towards society; sec
ond. towards his family, and. third.
towards himself.
at has been said that every man
has his price but 1 do not believe
that this is true / firmly believe
that though there are men who can
he bought. men who will accept
graft and men who will barter away
their honor for money, that there
are honest men who have the true
concept OF their responsibility. In
proving his contention he cited a
number of cases OF men who had
refused fabulous sums offered in
bribe and chose 10 live straight He
went even further and showed that
even in this world such square deal
ings found reward
Everywhere we find people who
are hiding behind others. and shift
ing the responsibility that should
fall 10 them. But remember" the
speaker shouted at his audience. 'if
you are hiding behind some one else
then he is bigger than you are. II
he is n hypocrite. then you are a
hypOcrite. a hitler man. a bigger
hypocrite than he is.

THE REVIVAL PASTORS IN THE SOUTH BEND CHURCHES
Sin of the World Yields More
Than it Sous Says Minister

The trouble with the world to-
day is that the people do not be-
lieve in judgment" said Rev. II. L.
Davis in a sermon on sin and
Judgment" at the First Methodist
Episcopal church last evening.
This judgment will be natural. &"
continued the speaker. What we
SOW we reap in kind. The sin OF the
world yields after its kind. II yields
more than IL sOws There are some
who will argue against this but il
is true. Ii is the inevitable law Of
the natural and spiritual world"
Rev. Davis then pointed out how
the small sin OF disObedience led to
an awful end by an example famil-
lar to many OF the people.
People have many notions Of the
judgment" said Rev. Davis. These
notions are the outgrowth OF the
middle ages. The people converted
from the pagan world carried much

Holds Religion
Is Worlds Most
Reasonable hing

Religion is the most reasonable
thing in the world" said Rev. Jesse
h. Bogue in a sermon on The Rea-
soma bleness Of Religion" at the Xiv
Ell Park VI. r church last night.
Rev BOgue addressed a meeting at
tended by 100 men at the church
yesterday afternoon, his talk being
on international Peace" in which
he pointed out that Christianity
must be the basis OF a lasting
peace.
We do not find the reasonable
ness Of an idea by sitting down and
day-dreaming. Rev Bogue said.
We find out what truth there is in
it by progressively developing the
idea. FRS we have faint idea OF

the laboratory and working on il or
by putting it 10 an actual test. II
the trial is successful, we have re-
sulting good feeling.
The same principle may be ap-
piled TO Christianity. There is a
three-fold test Of truth: II is con
sistent intellectually; IL works in
life; it produces emotional har-
mony."
Two conversions were made by
Rev. Bogue following his sermon

RATHER A PAGAN
THAN AN ATHEIST
Man What Has Never Heard
of Christ Better Than Those
Who Neglect Teachings.

Il would rather go up 10 the
judgment seat OF God from the
darkest corner Of the pagan world.
where there never was an open BIZ
bic and where the name OF Jesus
was never spoken. and say that I
had never heard the holy ord. than
TO 90 up from this enlightened
country where the story has been
told so often and admit that I he'd
heard the word and had not an
swered."
So asserted Evangelist Charles r.
Watkins OF Muncie in his sermon
last night at the First Baptist
church. Taking as his text the sec
ond chapter OF Joshua the speaker
showed that the same power which
converted Rahab. the wicked wom-
an OF Jericho. and saved her when
the city was destroyed was az hand
today 20 save people in the same
miraculous manner. Rahab was
condemned on two counts: one
through the general condemnation
OF the city, and one because OF her
personal sins. She could not have
been saved by the law but she was
saved by the grace OF Jesus Christ
This woman condemned the whole
city when she told the spies that
everyone had heard Of the deliver
ance OF the Israelites from Egypt
and yet had not listened 10 the voice
Of God.
The story OF Christ HIS been told
from every pulpit in this city time
and time again. and / wonder how
many OF us could go 10 the judy
ment seat tonight and say L have
not heard, questioned Rev. Wat
kins. There is not a man here who.
If he does not answer the call. can
blame il on God Almighty. You sas
Not tonight Suppose that God
should drop the curtain on your life
tonight. Remember that the deci-
sion is yours and not Gods.
The scarlet line which Rahab
hung from her window marked the
last Of her old life, and by Gods
mighty power and love she was
raised from the lowest place 20 the
very highest. When Christ died on
Calvary He hung a scarlet line from
heavens window for you and the
blood Of Jesus must mark the end
OF your old life"
A meeting OF the men. yesterday
afternoon vas well attended Rev.
Watkins made the address. his sub
iect being The Real Problem OF
Efficiency"

OUR MINDS TELL US
OF A FUTURE LIFE

All Of us want TO die a death Of
righteousness" declared Rev. A
Christy Brown, before his congrega-
ton at Westminster Presbyterian
church last evening. we cannot
control the time when We are to die
but we can control our lives so that
when death comes, il may be
thought Of as righteous" he added
There are various reasons why
we wish 10 live righteous lives TIE
first is that the right kind OF death
Will have a good effect upon the
world. An innate expectation Of the
life we are 10 live beyond this world
impels some Of US 20 wish for a
righteous death No matter where
We go. man IS longing for immortal
ity. Just as a seashell means for
the sea from which il has been sep
arated. so man is constantly moan
ing for the future life A third rea-
son for mans desiring a righteous
death is an innate expectation Of
judgment within us We see wick
edness go unpublished. we see good
go unrewarded Conscience tells us
of our sinfulness.
Men know that this is the time
when We are 20 prepare for the great
life beyond the grave. We are at
the vestibule Of the temple. We are
on our probation. God would not
have sent His only Son TO die on
the cross, If We were 70 have another
probation" continued the speaker.
The service last evening closed the
revival at the Westminster Presby-
terrain church. Regular wednesday
services will be held this week.

REVIVAL SERVICES ARE
BEGUN AT STULl CHURCH
Rev. \. V. Babbs breaches Opening
Sermon on "Destinies Os
Human Souls"

Revival services began at the Stull
NJ. f. church last evening and will
be conducted by the pastor, Rev. A.
V. Babbs, throughout the week. A
series of sermons will be given. the
first of which will be delivered to-
night. The sermon last night was
en- The Destinies Of Human Souls.
The speaker showed that the
destiny of a great many people de-
ponds upon the pastor as it is his
duty to speak and teach the word OF
God. Likewise he showed that the
greater amount OF responsibility
rests upon the people themselves be-
cause they must accept or reject the
word of God.
"A soul without God the speak
er said. lis moving hellward and
not heavenward. Some people do
not believe in hell and everlasting
punishment because they think God
loves them too much 10 condemn
them II may be easy TO follow
these beliefs but you cannot change
the facts of the Bible and the words
of Christ.
1T was Jesus who declared the
fact that spirit can go 10 hell and
be punished because he said A soul
without Christ is destined toward
hell Furthermore. in Luke 10, it
says: There is not only a lost world
but in that lost world a furnace OF
fire. From this we know that the
punishment in hell is fire and TO us
there is no more a conceivable
agency OF destruction than fire"

OF their beliefs They enlarged on
the descriptions given in the book
OF God. We have examples OF this
from the paintings OF that age. and
the books OF various authors.
God viii come in judgment OF
this world" concluded DR.. Davis. Il
will leave il 20 YOU just as Jesus
left it 20 you. I only ask you IL YOU
do not think il is time 10 come 10
Him. There is a fountain in which
YOU can be washed Of sin. Do you
want 20 continue in your sin2"
Plans are being made for the
closing week and big results are eN-
pected. There were eight converts
at the church this morning. Sunday

services. There Will be a joint meet
ing Of the church and sunday school

pated. Mr.. J. Hills, who has been

COMMENTED MAN

All the Worlds Present Prob
lens Are Due to Sin.
Says Minister.

Salvation makes a mans face
move east and west once in a while
instead Of north and south all the
while he is in sim" declared Rev
Daniel A. Haley at the reviva. serv-
ices in the Mizpah Evangelical
church last night. II is much
easier for man 20 smile and 10 en-
JOY life when he is sure he is saved
than it is for him to attempt an
"honest-to- goodness laugh when
he is in sin, the preacher explained.
/ Behold Salvation Now was the
subject of the sermon in which Rev.
Mr.. Haley pointed out the impor-
lance and the necessity OF getting
right with God" during the revival
campaign.
The Holy Spirit has brought to-
gether and put together the words
Behold Salvation Now-that right

ton 10 salvation which in spite of
the crying sociological needs and the
housing problems of our times. is
of far greater importance. Indeed,
if man needed salvation first there
would be no housing problems-for

"Sin has brought guilt, power and
punishment TO mankind. The ulti-
mate end of sin is the lake of eter-
nal burning-that place of weeping.
wailing and gnashing Of teeth. 1t is
the destination of the man who neg

When are you TO give attention
to salvation? Now Not tomor-

on salvation as an antidote to death,
but Jesus Christ provided salvation.
not 70 get man ready 10 die. but
TO live Now is the time you need
the sustaining grace of Jesus Christ
now is the time you need a new
heart. a new victory over sin"
Previous to the regular revival

conservation before their pastor.

he was addre ssing. the qualities that
made this time Of life most danger
Gus. he spoke OF curiosity when
many have ventured too far into
the city. the bar and other places OF
evil. He showed that the customs
OF this time and the companiOnships
also have a great influence on the
whole life OF the individual. Com
Partnerships formed during this pc
riod are very often broken only by
death"
The speaker next told that these
days are the determining days of
the formation OF character. OF repu-
tation and Of usefulness.
They are also days OF decision.
when the individual must choose his
occupation for life. Not only in the
commercial world. but also in the
moral world is this the time cC the
formation Of habits. Above all ISIS

CHURCHES MUST
Be IN HARMONY
ChriSt'S Prayer to Apostles
Was That They Remain
in Accord.

A large congregation at Epworth
Memorial NJ. r. church listened TO
rock bottom Christianity as preach
ed by Rev. l.. c. Elliott in his ser
mon on Unity" Sunday evening in
the revival service. At the close
of the service one convert declared
himself for God.
The church must be in accord, -
declared the evangelist The
prayer of Jesus for His apostles was
that they remain as one; that they
remain in harmony If the church
is divided against itself il cannot ac-
complish the purpose for which il
was established.
The church is in a pitable and
devilish condition" asserted the
evangelist. IF we could look at n
theater tonight, we would find it
crowded. but in many of our
churches we would find many empty
benches.
The trend Of the times is to-
ward modernism. Even in religio n
the people want the things of the
world III their salvation. What We
need is the old fashioned religion;
the gospel as it was preached in the
first century. The professed follow
ers of Christ are continually back
sliding.
The world hates a man who is
following in the footsteps of Jesus.
However. the man who is on the
road TO salvation knows a JOY that
can in no way he hurt by the Opin-
ion of the world"
Through the efforts of Rev. s. p.
McAlpin, a special service was held
in the afternoon. IL consisted of a
sacred concert by the members of
the congregation. Solos were rem
dered by Roy Young. Claude Young.
Miss Katherine Fields, Miss Vivian

walton OF the evenings music This

The Church as II Is and as II
Ought TO Be" was the title OF the
sermon which treated 70 some
length on the ideal church. such as
il was the intention OF Christ 20 es-
tablish and the realization OF Il as
IL worked out by the incompetent
hands OF men. The sermon was a
cutting criticism OF some Of the
practices Of church members and OF
those who prefer 10 be and who
should be most deeply interested IN
the success OF the church.
"A practical and simple message
is. he declared. the ideal sermon as
he pointed 10 the beautiful SIMPLE
ity and grace Of the language en-
ployed in the Bible. The langu-
age OF the Scripture should be the
text OF the pulpit he declared.
Continuing, he spoke Of the neces-
sity that religion should be placed
first in the life OF every man. This
position IS demanded. he maintained.
by the great Importance OF religion
in the eternal scheme Of things.
