RESURRECTION IS
SERMON SUBJECT
Living Picture of ChriSt'S AS
CenSiOn Given Every
Year by Nature.

The glories of the resurrection
which God has prepared for His
faithful children were painted most
wildly by Rev. Charles f. Watkins.
special state evangelist for Indiana,
in "a masterful sermon last evening
before the congregation of First
Baptist church.
Rev. Watkins selected as his topic.
The Resurrection: or what of the
dead o." The human interest doctrine
Of the resurrection concerns us all"
said Rev. Watkins. Everyone Of us
has some personal interest in this
doctrine. Some dear one has slipped
off TO the other side leaving our
interests quickened. Every day finds
us nearer the grave. Every u
months gives us a living picture of
the resurrection. In the autumn, the
leaves die away. signs of life and
vegetation disappear, and the shrill
winter winds shrieks wildly through
the trees. Then God sends the warm
sun and rain. Immediately God calls
out a new order of things. but this
new order is likened TO the old or
der. The seeds spring up from the
earth. bringing new life. and the new
order

a Lost Ball and Home Run il
Subject Used by Rev.
y. \. Groves.

"A Lost Ball and a Home-run"
was the subject Of Rev J. A. Groves
at the Conference Memorial church
last evening. Two converts and
four accessions yesterday raised the
total number for the revival to AZ
converts and Al accessions.
"A ball lost on account of an err
ror is the saddest thing in the base
ball game and may cause the loss
of the game" said the evangelist.
And SO the soul that is lost on ac-
count OF an error in the game OF
life is the most sorrowful incident in
religion. But also, as in baseball,
an error may often be made good
by the help Of another player.
Never fail. therefore, TO assist fall

"A sharp tongue does not how

if there is a man who can say that

Those who accept Christ evidence It

who reject him.
Some mems spiritual optics are
becoming dim. and they are drifting
away from God and do not realize
their situation because Of the dim

REDEMPTION IS NOT
A MERE SENTIMENT
l. Real Fact and Touches Not Only
the Soul and Nature. But
Our Bodies.

Another conversion last night
marked the successful closing of the
revival at the Mizpah Evangelical
church. The result Of the meetings,
according to Pastor Daniel 4. Kaley.
has been four decisions and 81 con-
secratiOns. In making his last ser
mon of the revival Rev Haley spoke
on redemption and the fellowship
which should exist between people
and God
Christianity is pre- eminently the
religion of redemption. asserted the
speaker. "Our redemption. con
sumated through the person, death,
and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus
Christ. is more than an ideal. II is a
real experience. a real fact, and it
reaches, touches. and effects not
only the whole soul and nature of
men, but also their bodies. Ii is not
redemption by a code Of laws or
ethics. but by a person who died
for us upon Calvary. Redemption is
more than a mere sentiment. and il
brings US into a close. real. living
fellowship with God and Jesus
Christ.
This fellowship is one Of faith
and is typifed 10y the fellowship
which exists between man and his
wife united in the bonds Of holy
love. II makes us obey Him and call
upon Him as our benefactor and
Father. This Is a union into which
We are called. II is not natural for
man TO have this fellowship with
God but we are called out Of the
darkness by the Holy Spirit TO walk
and talk with God. But first the
believer who would have fellowship
with God must make remuneration Of
his sins. because darkness can have
no fellowship with light and God
walks always in the light
Rev. Haley then spoke Of the
great necessity of faith and the part
which it plays in the redemption and
he said that we walk with Christ
through faith only. Fellowship with
the Lord always produces results
for we become like those with whom
we associate. II produces a soul
cleanness such as you Will not get
any place else II gives spiritual
power. and as we compromise with
sin we perilize our spiritual influence
and weaken our powers in God.

PLEASURE MAD
AND BOASTS OF FACT
Second Coming of Christ i Proven
by Numerous Passages of
the Bible.

Some people cannot see any
thing in the second coming Of
Christ because they have not the
knowledge Of His first coming, was
the declaration of Rev. g. L. Elliott.
evangelist at the Epworth NJ. +.
church, Friday night in his sermon
on the subject, The Second Com
ing of Christ" which was taken
from The Acts of the Apostles.
I'LL.
Jesus came to earth in the form
Of man and died on the cross for
our sins, was buried and rose
again INTO heaven and is 10 come
again. We know He is TO come
again because numerous passages in
the Bible tell US of His second
coming"
The speaker then showed that the
second coming of Christ was the
hope OF this world for at that time
the resurrection Will take place.
Today people are denying God
and paying far too much attention
10 worldly things This world is
pleasure mad and is boastful of
this fact. If you want anything in
the world YOU have 10 buy il be-
cause we are as corrupt as the dew

The second coming Of Christ
will not be a process but viii be
real and an event the result of
which will be the resurrection of
the dead. Men throughout the
world deny the resurrection but il
is a promised fact and means the
completion of the Christians hope
Of redemption.
Men today think their powers Of
thought are superior 10 Christ and
reason as they like. consequently de-
nying God and rObbing the world Of
His word 1t is uncomfortable for

MA TER|AL LIFE
TOO ATTRACTIVE
Church Members Are Too In
CIined to Chase the Al
mighty Dollar.

There are some people within the
church who are gradually slipping.
The almighty dollar hos too much
claim on them. They are gradually
drawing away They have made a
wrong choice in life and they are
pursuing the material rather than
the spiritual" said Rev. II. L. Davis
at the First NJ. Z. church last even
ing.
Rev. Davis took as his theme, The
Perils of a Wrong Choice" He
pointed out how Lot suffered pun
ishment as the result of his choice
from a material standpoint only and
how in the end his posterity suffered
destruction. The modern man who
is too interested in his material al
fairs was then set up as the example
OF the Lot of today.
NO man has right 10 make "A
choice on a material basis only. Ma
terial things are not the only ones TO
claim our interest The kingdom of
God has a prior claim on all things
of the material world, whether they
be pleasure, wealth or business.
These things are standing in mans
way to merit the kingdom.
Results Are Certain.
The man of today who neslects
his spiritual life will suffer the same
as did Lot. lie cannot do otherwise
since he has maze the wrong choice.
The men of today are able TO talk on
business and banking but they can
not discuss the spiritual things. They
have no time for these. These mex
are not able 10 influence others.
How can men in this condition
have any effect on the lives of their
children? IT is impossible as they
live for material things only. The
Rible, prayer. or Blessing are never
used. Gods presence is not 10 be
found in the home. You may be sure
that God dwells in spiritual things
only.
Not Assailing Property.
II am not assailing property 1t
is rather the use 10 which we put II
when we let it stand in the way OF
the kingdom of God" concluded the
pastor. The whole thing is in the
choice. We do not need TO cast away
the material things and God does
not expect us to. He mas given them
TO US for our benefit He desires US
to seek His kingdom first and He
viii add these things latter We may
be sure that we will do better with
Him than without. Christ had TO
