THREE REASONS GIVEN
Why Jesus is Needed, at Service BY
Evangelist Smith.

| At last nights meeting, Evangelist
| II. s. Smith used the text, John l5:5-
without me YOU can do nothing Ito
enforce the statement that Jesus Christ
is the absolute need of every man, wom-
an and child He is necessary TO real
success. for success has to do with things
that endure Who succeeded, Hetty
Green or Fanny Crosby? A. T. Stewart
or D. l. .Hbody?
Because religion has TO do with all of
life, Jesus Christ is necessary to all in
all of life 4 business that cannot be
run so that a man can remain Christian
must be given up. Jesus Christ will help
man to be better husband, father,
friend business man and worker.
Therefore. Jesus Christ is needed
/. To eNalt the desires and to over
come the down pull of appetite and out
ward evil influences.
,. TO overcome temptations. Jesus
was tempted in all points like as we arc,
cor US.
1t is the most deadly. destructive, hide
Gus thing in Gods universe Jesus Christ
saves men from sin.
Mr.. Smith further contended that Jc-
sus is needed a the great comforter IN
the hour of sorrow and calamity. He
fortiiies the soul to meet death and pre-
pares the soul 10 meet Christ in tho day
of Judgment All are responsible for
righteous living and none can escape ac-
We must show the Christ
we have not wasted or neglected our
talent.
II was an impressive sermon. The 1
services are 10 be continued during the 1

Why Soldiers Are FataIlsts.

There is a strong feeling of fatalism
among the soldiers of all armies. There
is feeling that If the bullet is not
made for you, you will come through
all right. One Frenchman told me
that he knew he would come through
all right, for when he first went in a
shrapnel shell burst in front of him
at the Marine and large piece of 1t
came down at his feet. He picked 1t
up and found his initial on 1t. at was
my piece of shrapnel all right" he
said, "and If it didn't get me none
other can" And, in fact. he has been
through the thick of a number of bat
ties since then, but he has never been
wounded.
