Mr.. Wells. Rev. Lawson's theme was
1.-THE Dying Soul. In opening he told
the story Of how during the Civil War
a young soldier strayed away from
his command in the Southern army
and he asked General Lee, Where
May get in. The general replied,
Anywhere" there fighting all along
the line. Rev. Lawson declared.

line. THE soul that sineth shall die
are solemn words It means that the
unrepented man goes down into eter-
nal night. Does that include you my
brother? Does that include you my
sister?

three parts. the soul. sin and death
The ancients believed that the soul
disappeared with the passing Of the
breath. He drew the distinction be-
tween man and beast by the means
of the soul. Man was created in the
likeness Of God The soul is the NOV
