MAN NOT JUDGED
BY GOOD DEEDS
World Today Too Inclined to
Make Dollar the Standard.
Cemetery Full of Lies.

THE wages Of sin is death, but
the gift of God is eternal life" So
began ]. S. Brundige of the Indi-
ana Christian church in his sermon
last night. There has never been
time in history when the world was
so involved in pursuing the al
mighty dollar as today" he de-
clared. "A man is not judged by
his good acts but by his wealth"
ne asserted.
Continuing. he said: "Wheh a
man who has money meets with
misfortune and is thereby made
poor. his friends drop him like a
hot potato. / do not condemn our
newspapers of South Bend but L
have noticed one thing-let Q rich
man die and there will be headlines
and perhaps two columns. Now.
let a honest but poor man die and
you will find an obituary under the
stocks. Perhaps the rich man was
a good man, but his write-up did
not come through his good acts,
but his wealth. When / die | do
not care what the papers say about
me.
There are more lies told in the
cemetery than any other place.
Just read the tOmbstones: AT
home. Resting in peace L would
not care for the home that some of
them have reached You know we
must pay for whom we work. We
are serving God or the devil. Some
of us are on one side and some on
the other. The old book says, Many
are called but few are chosen
Hell is not a summer resort and
by no means is il a winter resort.
1t is a second death and a lake Of
fire. If you work for the devil he
will pay you well. 1t is odd how
men curse the preachers and the
church. Just take away the
churches from this fine old city of
ours and you would not want to
live here six months"

er, was the way Evangelist c. l.
Elliott summed up the existing re-
ligious conditions as a preliminary
introduction TO his sermon on The
Baptism of the Holy Ghost" last
night at the Epworth Nj. +. church.
Explaining the power of the
apostles as resulting from the de-
scent of the Holy Ghost on the
apostles on Pentecost day the
speaker drew a picture of the con
ditions of hypocrisy, pagan tyranny
and other evil forces that opposed
the early church, and told Of the
power and vigor of apostles in en-
listing mankind in the army of the
Lord
Men change but Christ is not
like man, untrue" the preacher af-
firmed, and deplored that today
churches are empty. and theaters
crowded, and that church members
ride around in limousines. and yet
their minister is compelled TO get
along with a meager salary because
of small contributions Today. If
ever the church needs power TO
combat the honey-cOmbing process

the Holy Ghost has come upon you.
Christ said to his apostles. accord
ing to Scripture. and the evangel-
ist enjoined his hearers to be born
again and receive the baptism of
the Holy Spirit so that they could
witness for Christ. He characterized
those who fell by the wayside as
soldiers who fell dead before enter
ius the castle of the king.
Preceding the services the con-
gregation sang several hymns. and

prayer. A call for converts resulted
in three individuals coming forward
TO accept Christ.

DIRECTION, NO 7

Not How Fast You Are Travel

What is the tendency in the life
Of those who attend some of the
amusemen today? Actors Of pro-
fessiOnal standing, playwrights,
stage managers say that the pres
ent drift in the stage is wholly bad.
II is as bad in some instances as the
saloon" said Rev Melvin G. Hunt,
pastor OF the Trinity NJ. +. church,
last evening.
Taking for his text Book of Gen
esis. 1873: Whence earnest thou.
and whittier will thou go?'' Rev.
Hunt said:
The Bible is the best diagnosti-
clan OF anything on earth. II asks
the most personal. searching, prov
ing questions. The physician asks
personal questions when he dag
noses a case. but his questions are
nothing compared TO the ones asked
by the Bible. Some people hate the
Bible just because of these personal
and unpleasant TO them, questions.
You are a steward OF Gods, but not
a subordinate owner.
The important question of the
day is the question of your destiny.
You came from God. The Bible
and reason proclaim that. The
greatest thing on this earth is the
mans personality and the wonder
full achievements. God. the SUI
preme. made the personality Of
man. Where are you going? The
important thing for progress is not
speed bet direction. 1t is vital
what your spiritual direction is.
What is the tendency of the life

Thomas Mott Osborne. former war
den of the Sing Sing penitentiary.
said that a large number Of hard
criminals in that reformatory en-
tered such a life by breaking Gods
Sabbath. Keeping Gods Sabbath
is as fundamental as the perserva-
ton of the human life. Breaking
Gods law is a greater sin than
commi ing murder or carrying
away property unlawfully.
The human mind has no con-
ceptiOn what eternity is. A Chris
tan is the only one who enjoys him.
self. A Christian is always sober.
If you have been leading a wrong
life. just ask yourself the question:
Where am / going? Turn away
from all bad tendencies and repent
for the kingdom OF God is at hand"

Hunt will deliver a special sermon

"Unbelief committed the foulest

Rev. Enterline took as his text:

subject used by Rev. r. l. Cham
pion at the Lowell Heights NJ. y.
church last night
salvation" the speaker said. "ac-
cording to webster means spiritual
deliverance from sin. salvation is
called so great because ii takes in
everything that has 10 do with our
spiritual life. Witnesses OF this
great salvation can be found every
where from the Bible down TO the
present time When il gets into a
person il is so. great that il causes
a stir in the community and Is
talked about by all"
The speaker declared that he con-
sidered salvation one of the greatest
miracles performed by God. 9th
ers may be great and wonderful. but
/ think the forgiveness of sin the
greatest II Is no simple or COM
monplace matter when salvation
comes TO man. but il is. however,

" God can save people under all
circumstances If we but call upon
His name. some people neglect sal

hinder their social activities and
spoil their pleasure in this world.
This is not true. because we know
that the religious man is the per-
son that gets the real JOY out OF

pie is that they depend upon a

the Lord is on the throne Of his
heart So many today are living for

1T appears that in the Calais Hos

question is as follows Does the fact
that one of the board of trustees or

A FINE QUALITY OF
PEAT FOUND IN MAINE

Maine has it's proportonate supply
Of peat and it is of fully as high quail
ity as that found elsewhere, accord :
ing to the annual report of Freeman
F. Burr Of Wayne the State geogolist.
which has been filed with the Governor
and Council
so far as is known" states Mr..
Burr in his report. little attempt has
oeen made to utilize the supply, and.
therefore, practically nothing is
known by direct experiment within
the State IN regard to the profit to be
expected from its exploitation.
The great majority Of the deposits
that are large enough to warrant ex-
nectations of commercial use are in
the less elevated portions Of the state,
and 1t Is probable that practically all
or the peat that will be considered for
commercial uses in the immediate fu-
ture lies between the coast and a line
drawn across the state from Houiton
to the Rangeley Lakes. Large peaty
areas exist north Of this line, but
most of those seen were heavily
wooded and very wet The great
northwestern area Of the state. north
ward from Moosehead lake and Mt.

practically without transportation IA
cilities and 1t was considered too in
accessible for practical exploration in
the limited time allowed for the re-
cent work. The country close to the
st. John river shows little that is
promising.
THE most valuable peat beds at
present available lie in Androscoggin.
Aroostook (southern part) Cumber-
land. Kennebec. Knox. Lincoln,
Penobscot and Washington counties.
with subordinate supplies in Oxford,
Piscataquis. Waldo and Knox.
The total peat area examined is es-
timated at about so square miles, with
an average depth of eight feet. This
gives approximately 100000 short
tons as the possible yield of air dried
