FAITH IS UNNECESSARY
IF MEN ARE SAVED
Power OF God Helpless Without It
Best Thing i'm Life Is Chris
tian Character.

Taking as his text Mark 1924;
Therefore I say unto you. whatso-
ever things YOU desire when you
pray. believe that you receive them.
and you shall have them" Evanse-
list J. a. Groves at the Conference
Memorial church last evening con-
tinued the series Of sermons treat
Ing OF prayer "Hinderances and
Helps 20 Prayer was the topic.
Christ has told us that we can
move mountains by prayer" the
evangelist said But / say unto
YOU that if you believe you can do
mighty things. Christ promised TO
send the Holy Ghost, and He did il.
The people Of the church have a
great power which they do not use.
mainly because there are so many
hinderances 70 prayer. Among
them are sin. which keeps US away
from God. If we allow iniquity in
cur lives God will hear us. When
preachers talk about sin nine-tenths
Of the people turn their backs on
the world and go on with their
sins"
Willfulness. an unforgiving spir-
it, lack of faith and selfshness were
given as the other hinderances to a
proper relation between God and
man.
The preacher also enumerated six
things that would help in prayer:
Sincerity simplicity, earnestness.
persistence. dehniteness and faith.
Rev. Graves has introduced a new
idea in the form of a prayer card,
which is n pledge to pray for a
certain number of persons during
the course of the revival. 1t has
met with success in other places
where it has been tried.

LANGUAGE Of GOD
IS NEVER VAGUE
All His Promises Are Kept to
the Letter, Asserts Rev.
George {. EnterIine.

"Can a Man Know He is Saved %
was the theme of Rev. George T..
Entorline in the final service of the
week in the simultaneous revival
campaign at quincy street Baptist
church. corner Blaine and quincy
SITS. Friday night.
The speaker took two different
binds Of evidence to show that q
man was conscious when he was
saved. External evidence is the
conditions upon which salvation IS
promised. Internal evidence is that
CONVICTION in the man himself that
ne is saved" the pastor said.
Are these conditions vague? Are
these conditions indehuite?" Rev.
Enterline continued Men are
sometimes very indefinite in their
promises. but God is plain IL his
language From Isaiiac Look unto
me and be saved Is this vague and
indehnite2 Is it not plain?
Matthew 3:15: Except you be-
come converted and be like little
children you cannot enter the king
dom of heaven And what is meant
by conversion As a military man
expressed il. il is an about face. II
is a turning from our sins and
walking with God. Repentance is
rot the shedding of tears. Tears
may accompany any repentance. yet
there are people who can be truly
sorry for their sins and not weep.
"Au references are plain: Be
lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved Is there any
thing not clear about this promise.
All we must do is 10 fulfill condi-
tions. and we shall be saved. Are
the conditions impossible? They
are not only possible they are easy
Of accomplishment.
THE other evidence is internal
evidence. Can we know in our
hearts that we viii be saved ?" To
Illustrate this point the doctor took
the instance of a promise made by a
person IF friend Of mine
promises me something and states
"a condition, and then / satisfy the
stipulatiORs, I have a right to de
r1and that the promise be carried
out. in fact 7 firmly believe the
man will do as he said. If we can
believe mans word, how can we
doubt the word of God?"

panied by Mrs. Kuhns.
Mr. Kuhns had been troubled
with stomach trouble for a number
Of years. This fall and winter his
condition became worse and he was
confined to his room on several oc-
casions for few days. He had.
however, apparently improved TO
some extent about the first of the
year, and to effect a complete cure.
ne left about two weeks ago with
Mrs. Kuhns for New York, whence
he expected to go to Palm Beach,
Fla. Upon his arrival in New York,
his condition became more serious
and on the advice of prominent ply
sicians, he decided TO undergo an
operation. II was believed here that
he was recovering from the effects
of this operation when a short tele-
gram was received by friends Friday
announcing his death.
No information has been received
in South Bend as to when the body
will be brought to the city. Informa-
ton in this regard is expected to-

time of his marriage 10 Miss Ida
Studebaker. daughter of the late
Jacob +. Studebaker 80 years ago.
Since then Mr.. Kuhns has been a
resident of South Bend except for a
few years during which time he had
charge of the Studebaker branches
i'm Chicago and New York. While
i'm Chicago, Mr.. Kuhns was mem
Der of the board of public works

ton OF Commerce for several years.
Mr.. Kuhns was also for some
years sales manager of the Stude-
baker corporation and a director of
that concern. Since his return to
South Bend about five years ago he
has devoted himself TO his private
interests and civic work. He was one
of the founders of the Federation for
Social Service in this city and was
the first president of that organiZa-
ton. In 1914, he became a member
of the Chamber of Commerce and
shortly afterwards was elected a di-
rector. In 1915. he was elected pres
ident of the Chamber and recently
he was reelected TO serve another
year.
