IS Conversions
At HIGHLAND AVE.
Pastor McNemar Preached
Powerful Sermon Last
Evening.

There were fifteen conversions at
the evangelistic service at Highland
avenue church yesterday. At the
morning services the pastor, L. A. Nc.
Nemar, preached an illustrated ser.
mon to the children. He used horse
shoe magnet, iron bolts, spikes, nails
and tacks. The magnet represented
Christ, the iron bolts old hardened
sinners, the spikes. middle aged peo-
pie, the ordinary size nail young peo-
pie and the tacks the children. The
sermon was very impressive to old
people as.well as to the children.
A social meeting was held in the
afternoon and was we'll attended. All
the adults present gave testimony con-
corning their conversion and what was
the greatest influence In bringing
them to Christ.
At the evening service the pastor
preached from the text, "He willing to
justify himself said unto Jesus, and
who Is my neighbor?'" His theme
was "Self Justification He first
showed how church members Justify
themselves for sins OF omission and
commission, and then how sinners JUS
tify themselves. The following. are
some Of the ideas particularly empha-
sized: 'sThe lawyer could not have
asked more sensible question. No
more capable one than Jesus could
have been found to answer the ques-
ton. One may profess q good creed
but not live good life. One may be
church member and not be saved"
One unfailing ruling in determining
whether one is christian is the
length Of this arm. How far can he
reach down into the gutter and help
the fallen man out? 1t takes an ener-
getic man to be q christian. When We
want good workers we must set peo-
PIE who are already. busy.
In discussing the means. that the
sinners take q justify themselves he
said you may be as good as some
church members and as mean as the
devil wants you to be-" To the ex.
cuse, that some give for not becoming
Christians that they fear they cannot
hold out. he said. "You have been
holding out well for the devil"
10 the excuse that they are hypo-
crits IN the church he replied, Il. there
are hypocrits In the church, they are
just some OF the devils goats that has
Jumped over into the Lords pasture.
They Belong 70 your own crowd"
The choir sang number Of good
selections during the evening. Par.
ticulariy impressive was its singing Of
.All Hail Emmanuel"
The house was crowded. Every bit
OF seating space was occupied. Many
OF the children sat on the floor inside
the alter railing. Many adults stood
up along the wallis.
A prayer service was held this aft
ernoon at $3.50 O'Clock at the church.
