scription Limit Will Be
Reduced to 80.

WASHINGTON. May s. - Two
meetings today OF senate and house

Worldly Pleasures ConduciOe TO

would be false and deceptive; the
plan Of salvation would be thwart-
ed and defeated; our Bible would
be no more than Aesop's Fables;
our religion would be no more than
any other: our hope would vanish
as tho mist before the sun, and
Christ would have been the greatest
imposter that ever lived.
Being divine, he said. God has
opened the way into the Holy Of
Holes for all men: he has given
man a hope eternal in life and
death, and he has redeemed the
world from the curse OF sin"
He then showed that the divinity
of Christ has been proved by the
prophets. the angels, the devils, and
in his own life by his birth, by the
proclamations in his bapdsms. by
his own ministry. ard by his death

People of Today
Haze Gold Dust

why does God not convert men >"
OF the First NJ. r. church, last night.
The reason is that lie must have
the attention Of men. God stands at
the door OF mems hearts, knocking
and seeking TO be admitted. People
OF today are seekers Of wealth. They
have gold dust in their eyes" He
said that people today gave little or
no attention 20 the reading OF the
scripture. He asserted that the god
Of lust. pleasure and revelry was in
the hearts Of many.
lie then told Of mans dual nature
and how the word Of God was cast
aside like the heather who bathed
in the filthy Gauges river. when
shown by the aid Of a microscope
the germs contained in one drop of
water. broke the instrument and re-
turned 10 his bathing in the foul
river. Those who are not clean
and ignore the voice OF God are like
the heather who shattered the mi
croscope." Rev. Davis said.

Children Choir
of SO is Heard
at Westminster

Music by the regular choir and
a children's chorus OF so voices
marked the revival services at the
Westminster Presbyterian church
last evening The music was d.
rected by Leslie whitcomb, who
also sang a solo. The discourse was
given by the Rev. A. Christy Brown,
his text being Turn ye from your
evil ways for why will We die. -
Ezekiel. chapter 33. verse II.
God warns us 10 stay far from
sin and 10 change our evil ways If
we wish TO be saved. He forgives US
our sins because he told his apostles.
Repent and be baptized God
knows we are immortal and respon-
sible beings with a free will and
We can either be saved or doomed.
Knowing this, God appeals TO US to
change our ways and be saved.
ITO be saved we must repent.
Repentance is not conviction and
it is not sorrow, for some people
profess TO be sorry for their sins but
at heart are not. Neither is re-
Fentence a promise TO be good in
the future. These are but elements
CT repentance. To repent we must
come 10 God in true penitence and
lie will meet us and forgive US our
sins"

MANY FORCED To
PAY SIN s WAGES
Innocent Suffer While Wrong
dOer ImagineS He is Hav-
ing Good Time.

Consequences o. sin from the in
dividual and social standpoint we're
discussed by Rev. A. Hunter Kenna,
pastor OF the Epworth Memorial
NJ. f. church, in a sermon on Sow
ing and Reaping' last night The
text Of the sermon was taken from
the Biblical quotation. Whatsoever
a man soweth. that shall ne also
reap"
Three loses may he the individual
said. First. he will lose the fellow
ship of God. God is perfect holiness
and cannot look upon sin with much
allowance. The result is that the
individual alienates himself from
God. Secondly, the man who lives
q wicked life will cut his fellowship
with the highest. the truest men.
lie might be in company with them.
but there is not a warmness of feel
ing for him. Although the individual
may appear. to be associated with
the best of men, the true fellow
ship is cut.
Loss of fellowship with his bet
ter self is the third consequence o.
sin 10 the individual. This is just
as tragic as any of the others. A
man may live a hermit life, if he
has money and a house. He may
isolate himself as far as others are
concerned. but no man can main
tain his own self-respect and do the
things that are wrong.
The second great result Of sin
is the social aspect of it, No man
lIveth unto himself alone and the
man who lives a life of evil jeopar-
dies the lives OF his own people
and those with whom he Is assoCiat-
ed The young man who lives a wick
ed life may think he is having a
good time. but he breaks his moth
er's heart and makes her premature
" old ana gray.
Another result OF sin from the
social standpoint is that the tenden-
cies toward wrong-doing are in
creased. IL becomes easier 20 do
wrong and harder 20 do right. If he
persists he separates himself from
God. I do not know what becomes
of him. but 1 do know that ne loses
Gods love"

URGES THAT CHRIST BE

Rev. Melvin G. Hunt Declares He
VIII Return 10000 Per-
cent Returns.

Make Jesus Christ your business
partner" urged Rev. Melvin c. Hunt
at the Trinity NJ z. church last
night. IF YOU take Christ into
your business. success will surely he
yours. He will repay you a hun
dredfold. for He has promised II.
lie has promised you 10000 percent
returns Then why hold back?'
Quoting the story of the miracu
lous haul of fishes from the Bible,
eral instructive points from this
parable. People today lack Chris
ton daring. the holy heroism of
early days; they all want sure
things No big undertaking ever
succeeded without faith. The
willingness to dare. TO strive to risk
things Is missing in the makeup of
the modern Christian. Nowadays
we want not only a blazed trail, but
q paved trail.
IF l thought people did not hun
ser for Christ now as Of old, I
would quit the ministry, but the
heart o. he world still hungers for
the Lord. Men in these days are
familiar with everything but the
Bible God has promised 10 help
you understand His word. yet null
titudes pass it by. Were Christ to
enter the pulpit today, He would
pass by the alluring topics of the
hour He would speak in the TWEEN
ueth century as He spoke in the
first. the word OF God.
DO not open only the Sunday
room of your heart 10 God open
every room to Him. Give Him
every day OF the week. People are
afraid 10 consecrate themselves to
Jesus Christ. but He is an indulgent
master and we should not fear
Him Break away from selfishness.
from fear. from smallness of soul.

warning for a spiritual awakening
but unless you of modern times be

COMING Of CHRIST
WORLD s CRISIS
Things of Today Become
Things of Tomorrow in
Orderly Manner.

The coming of Christ was a
crisis, but God had been preparing
the way for that crisis from the
very first. Rev. Jesse Parker
Bogue said in a sermon on Pro
gressive Religion" the fifth of a Sc
ries Of u, at the River Park NJ. Z.
church last night. A special song
service by the choir. led by Russell
Hubbard. preceded the sermon.
There viii be no services at the
church this evening.
The things that are today grow
out into and become the things Of
tomorrow i'm an orderly manner
and not by accident or any happen
so manner" said Rev. Bogue. That
is the essential fact Of evolution and
that is Gods way of working in hui
man life. a revolution is but the
climax of long evolution. The
coming of Christ was a crisis. but
God had been preparing the way for
that crisis from the very first. He
even sent John as a "fore-runner''
for Jesus.
I'VE must approach the mark Of
the Christian life as exemplified by
Christ progressively.
The man who claims to be per-
feet has never seen the life Of
Christ, nor his own little life 1t is
a life-wOrk TO become a cody per-
son. II is also a very practical task
We must have a scientific sense to
realize for ourselves what we are
We must have an idealizing sense to
know what we ought to be. We
must have a manly sense to shout
der the responsibility for the con-
ditiOn Of ourselves rather than
weakly and cowardly shift that re-
sponsibility onto the devil or some
neighbor Then we must have the
spiritual power to constantly move
forward and upward from what we
are TO what we ought TO be. To
