devil goes to church more regularly than any of us, so to go to church means nothing so far as salvation being obtained is concerned. You can be a member of the church and not be saved It IS time for us 10 find ont where we stand before God. To believe all abou the things of God does not save anyone
 Don't put an ordinance before Christi yet many people do this.
 lt is Christ first in all things, not church ordinances.
 Doing the best we can in obedience to the moral laws, never saved any one.
 Men should be honest, tell the truth. and live decently because it's right.
 Many people have the outward side of life all polished and furnished but the inward life is full of filth and vileness. We do not need reform, but we need a new birth Environment does not save anyone. If the heart Is wrong, get it right by getting a new heart. We must be new creatures in Christ Jesus. If you arc in Christ and He is in you, people will know it by your dealings and your life in the home. To be borne again is to re- eeive a new nature.
 How obtain the ne wnaiure, you ask !? By fath in Christ as a personal Savior Whatever your sin Christ will se, you free if you trust him.

MISSlON 0F THE
 SPIRIT EMPHASIZED
EVANGELIST STEPHENS MAKES PROFOUND IMPRESSION UPON
 HIS HEARERS.

Mr s epheus was greeted by good audience of interested listeners at the tabernacle yesterday afternoon when he gave his second message, on "The Spirit Filled Life" He discussed very briefly six propositions, viz.
 That Jesus was born of the Spirit, and tba, this fac. emphasized the Yir- gin birth of our Lord
 That Jesus was baptized or filled with the Spirit, and this prepared Him for his life work
 That He was led or the Spirit Sc that not an ac. of His life ever grieyed or hindered His working through Him
 That lie was taught of the Spirit, SO that the great truths He uttered were taught Him.
 That Jesus wrought miracles by the power of the spirit
 That the Spiri. will equip us with power for tle service we are to rem der in the world
 He will come into the life of those who are Willins to pay the price of surrender 10 his leadership
 This service made a profound inn pression on the audience present.
 Evening Service.
 At the evening service the taber- nacle worshippers have not seen such an inspiring scene as that when the business girls marched in body from the luncheon held at the Cen tral Methodist church 10 the taber- nacle The grea, audience already present cheered as the long line of girls marched in two by two. headed by Miss Byrnes and Mrs Powell of the Stephens party The people Of Hot Springs never heard a more in spring song than the l75 business girls, who had marched in, sung to tho tune of Bringing In the Sheaves" Business Girls for Christ, Business Girls for Christ.
 Pass along he watchword, ] Business Girls for Christ" ] Evangelis. Stephens used John g. as a text.

 SUBMARINE FIGHTERS
NEW VESSELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE
 CHASERs NOW IN USE.

Washington, Jan. 31-New submar- inc fighters of a powerful type are about to be turned out in the United States in large numbers After tes-. tifyins today before the house naval committee on the naval appropriation bill, Secretary Daniels authorized the statement that contracts for several scores of the new craft have been placed with the Ford Motor com pany, of Detroit He described them as half way between a destroyer and submarine chaser, 200 feet long and equipped with the latest discov- cries for combating submarines. All parts of the ship except the engines are to be fabricated in Detroit and the parts shipped to seaboard, where they will be assembled.
 Changes in the Ford plant to per- init the handling of the work have progressed so swiftly, Mir Daniels said. that deliveries on the contracts during he coming summer are as- sured. The new vessels are expected to prove far superior to the chasers now in use, including those of the ll0-foot class. They will have steam power with a greater radius of action, will be more seaworthy and will be ! able 10 carry heavier armament It has developed that the latest Ger man submarines are equipped with guns that outranged those of small chasers and even some merchant i ships

DOUBLE TAX ALARMS sHUBERr
Will Result I'm Closing Many
Theatres, He Says.

Lee Shubert, president OF the shubert
Theatrical Enterprises, predicted yester-
day that the proposed double tax on
theatre admissions would yield smaller
returns than under the existing tax OF
10 per cent and that It would mean
the failure Of many productions and the
closing Of many theatres.
while theatrical entertainment has
been ofIiclally classed as essential" said
Mr.. Shubert. there Ia no doubt but that
It Is a luxury In the sense that persons
whose living expenses approximate their
income will cease going to the theatre
or seek cheaper forms Of entertainment
than they have been accustomed to be-
fore they will cut down on such neCessi-
ties as food. clothing and home
THE attitude of the managers In this
connection Is far from selfish. The pa
triotism OF Americas amusement pur-
veyors can hardly be questioned when
!. Is remembered how managers have
cooperated with the Government In
every possible way In the spreading Of
patriotic propaganda and In the fur
nishins Of entertainment for soldiers
and sailors"
