Men are not lost because they do
not believe Jesus is divine. Men are
not lost because they do not believe

they do not believe in the Bible.
Men are not lost because they be-

Men listen TO that suggestion till

RECEIVED INTO CHURCH

Sixteen converts were received in
70 the Lowell Heights NJ. r. church
Sunday where the Rev. r. I. Chap
pion, an evangelist, is conducting
the revival. "Polit and Others" was
the preachers subject last evening,
during which he made a strong ap-
peal to all who have not yet reached
Christ There will be no services
Monday evening but on Tuesday aft
ernoOn at $3.50 o'clock there will be
a special meeting for women only.
the subject being The Woman of
Today"
'As governor of Judea, Polit had
power of life and death over his
subjects" said the evangelist "He
was held responsible by Caesar for
the wise government of the Jews.
and upon his management depended
his continuance in that position.
But each of you has greater respon-
sibilities than Pilot had as govern
or, for you are responsible for the
salvation OF your soul.
Before Pilot consented to let the
Jews cruelty Chr st he presented to
them Barabas and asked. Will you
have Jesus or will you have Bara-
bas?' AS the Jews had TO choose
between these two persons, so you
must choose between them. q is
one or the other; will YOU have
Christ or the devil?
There is no excuse for anyone
for not becoming a Christian. You
can find no excuse for trying TO
evade the responsibility of saving
your soul If you reject Christ in
order TO hold something YOU do not
wish 10 give up. as in the case of
Pilot you will in the end lose both
Christ and the thing which kept you
from accepting Christ"

EVANGELIST PRAYS FOR
0L0-FASHI0NED REVIVAL
Rev. l.. &. Elliott Declares His
Preaching Success Depends ON
Praying Ability.

God. give US an old fashioned re-
vival." pleaded Rev l. c. Elliott,
the evangelist conducting the revival
services at Epworth NJ f. church.
in his sermon last night. Taking as
his text, BE not afraid nor dismay-
ed by reason OF this great multitude,
for the battle is not yours. but
Gods" he claimed that people today
lack the faith OF the ancient Jews
and that unless they were born
again OF the Holy Spirit. as Of old,
they could not be saved.
Il can't have a revival with a
bunch Of empty benches" proclaim
ed the evangelist. 1T isn't up TO the
evangelist. but it is up to you, and
my preaching ability depends largely
upon our praying ability. 1t is a
happy time in the life of an indi-
vidual, in the life of a church. in the
life of a nation, when they begin to
plead the promises Of God. A
church TO have a revival must have
faith that God has the power to
bless and promote that revival and if
you do your shouting a little ahead
OF time we will have an old-fashion-
ed revival in this church"
Speaking Of the part which the
preacher plays. Rev. Elliott said:
There is no preacher able 10 bring
a message till he is right with God
himself. 1t will be a happy day in
the life Of ministers when they quit
trying to please the crowd. and it
will be happy day when all Of us
cast a few conventions aside and try
to please the Lord instead of the
people"
Rev. Elliott will be assisted dur
ing the revival by another evange-
list. Rev. s. p. McAlpin. who will
have charge OF the music Although
the revival throughout the city is
intended to come to a close at the
end Of two more weeks, the evange-
list said that he would not quit till
he was fully satisfied with the re-
suits he had obtained

TOO MANY PEOPLE
FOLLOW PLEASURE
Rev. Arthur v. BabbS Relates
Story of Elijah on
Mt. Carmel.

-Twixt Two Fires" was the sub
1ect discussed by Pew. Arthur V.
Bab5s before his congregation at
stull Memorial church last evening.
Ret Babbs described how the
power OF God vas subjected 10 the
test Of fire on sit. Carmel when Eli
JAN alone defended the true God be-
fore $50 priests of Baal. The priests.
he said had built alta,s upon the
mount. where they bad offered sac
rifices I'm honor OF their heather god.
There was one altar upon the mount
which had for many years been ded-
icated to the worship of the true
God, though II had now fallen to the
ground through lack Of repair
Up to this altar OF the true God,
said the speaker. Elijah came to
prove before an unbelieving people,
the true faith Of Cod. Four hundred
and fifty priests Of Bael were at
their affairs calling upon their god
TO send down his fires when the vic
TINS were offered. Failing in their
first efforts, they called louder and
louder upon Baal 10 send forth the
fires.
True God Is INDICATED.
Now. said Rev. Babb. was the
time when the true God in heaven
was to make His great vindication
before the people He described the
frenzy OF the priests OF BaaI as they
screamed, "Oh, Baal hear us. oh,
Baal. hear us" AS noOntime passed
and still Baal did not respond with
the sacred fires, the passion of the
priests wac irapocsible to describe.
But the pos. of God had overtaken
the heather whose purpose il had
been to deceive the people by kind
ling a fire beneath the altar and
10 fires were forthcoming.
The speaker then told of Eliiahs
coming. Though ? venerab bic proph-
ct, he presented 2 very commonplace
appearance amcag the elegantly
robed priests. His words, what
could the image of stone answer 90
in addressing the priests are con-
sidered by Rev. Babbs as the best
example OF sarcasm in literature.
The preacher then narrated the ap-
preach of Elijah 10 the fallen down
altar. dedicated 10 the true God.
Elijah. he said. took - stones from
the altar and commanded the vic
tim to be brought forward. Then,
lifting up the hand Of a holy man.
he offered prayers to the true God.
Immediately there came down a d.
vine fire from God which not only
destroyed the victims, but burned
even the waters in the trench sur
rounding the altar THE people
who had been disIoya1 to jehovah
continued the speaker, seeing the
great power OF Gods all-consuming
fire. shouted, The Lord is God. The
Lord is Cod"
Many Today Prefer Baal.
Rev. Babbs declared that there
are many people in the world to-
day who prefer 10 follow Baal and
worldly things instead OF the true
God and a spiritual life Neverthe-
less, he said. fires have been fall
ing down from God which have
opened the eyes Of the people to
MANY of our existing evils. In clos
ing. The pastor prayed that the all
consuming fire Of God would fall
down upon sin and folly
