The nightly evnngelistic services at
the First M. q. church we're continued
last evening with the usual good crowd
in attendance. Now, how many
brought your books?" was the first
question asked as the congregation
settled themselves for an enjoyable
half hour. The cnoir occupied part Of
the available seats on the platform but
there was room for number more and
Prof. Heaton asks that all these seats
be filled each night. The platform
was enlarged Monday night to hold 16
additional seats. Last evening not
one Of these 16 seats was occupied. A
number in the audience promised to
help out in the choir after this.
The first singing surprise on the
program came when all the preachers
present were asked to sing alone
standing. These men we're too shy to
stand and their voices came forth
rather weak, but the attempt made by
them was thoroughly appreciated. Aft
er number Of other songs, one OF
them rendered all together as fast as
possible, relieving wrought nerves, the
scripture lesson was read by Rev.
Meyers, Of the Lutheran church.
Rev. Goodwin announced that he
was delighted to see the same large
number present each evening that
the attendance all week had been ex.
cellent and that all the preachers had
remarked, What q fine company and
what q beautiful spirit!" Rev. Good
win said he believed this meant that
God was willing to pour out His spirit
on His people. He asked that every
one go to his own Sunday school and
church Sunday and help out all posi-
BILE. He announced again the services
to be held Sunday afternoon at three
O'Clock in the First Methodist church
and also in the same place in the even
ing and said that special things had
been planned which would be both
helpful and inspiring. He said "Come
early II you want q seat. We may
have to put a tent outside besides" :"
Twas requested that II anyone missed
church at his own on Sunday morning
for that person to bring his envelope
in the afternoon or evening and IL
would he sorted out and given to the
proper individual. A special offering
is to be taken Sunday evening for the
Armenian and Syrian fund.
Prof. Heaton sang solo, enjoyed by
all as usual, and Rev. Stoetzer followed
with the sermon for last night. He
said that the one certain thing in
Christianity was Jesus Christ and that
He was q fact-the greatest OF all per-
sonalities. bold as lion and as gentle
and tender as q. woman. Nothing that
concerns man is foreign to God and II
is natural for mistakes to be made very
often or we've never gone this way be-
fore but God can lead and He can save
even though we are prodigals, every
one Of us. II have only been near a
few people In my life who claimed nev.
er to have sinned and think they
lied" said Rev. Stoetzer. The worst
punishment which came to the sinner
was that he missed the chief thing in
life the good and worthy blessings.
II We keep busy getting the sins out
OF our own lives we won't have time to
criticisc others. Rev. Stoetzer TOLD
the story about a little child who pray
ed for a revival and asked that such q
revival come right away and first to
her because she needed It most. Rev.
Stoetzer said It wes natural for people
to prefer jumping on somebody else
and that Il was easy to get crowd II
that was going to be done.
Make Jesus Christ the Lord Of your
bodies in your eating and drinking and
the Lord of your minds so that you
will have beautiful kingdom. Put a
sign up above yourself that there is no
admission for anything the spirit OBJ
jects to. tNo admission without the
spirits permission" will be a. great
help. Make your heart fit for Christi
