''He That Winneth Souls
 Is Wise"- J. R. Hobbs

Before a large congregation at the First Baptist church Dr. J. R. Hobbs preached a forceful sermon at the morn ing service yesterday, having for his text "He That Winneth Souls Is Wise Dr. Hobbs said in part:
 ' He that winneth souls is wise, a reading from King James version. but is changed by the revised version to He that is wise winneth souls In thls former reading,H said Dr. Hobbs. it would seem that winning souls is the thing that makes one wise, but the latter expression carries the meaning that those who are wise win souls, and there is no wisdom in man un- less he wins souls and if man real izes the importance of winning souls it is absolute proof that he is wise.
 What is wisdom? It is not knowl- edge alone. Knowing is not wisdom and common sense is not always an accompaniment of knowledge. Wisdom is knowledge in action and turned to good account. and herein is man mani fested Words are nothing by them selves. A preacher cannot preach moral ity effectively without living it. X wise lawyer knows great deal about law, but to be worth anything to him it must be put into practice The worlds wisest man chose wisdom that he might govern wisely. He knew the ups and downs of life and wrote to win souls. Whatever we may be we must win souls to Christ. He that is wise winneth souls
 The word win appeals to people; cer- tain words are beautiful as are certain names. because of association. It Is a pity the word win is associated with the practice of gambling. in this re- spect the word is stilified by it's use
 The word is beautiful in case of the lover who goes out to Win the creature most dear to him. He presents

lasting 45 minutes, going over the events of Passion week and terminating in the Easter morning service, which this year promises to be most interesting and in spring
 A special service just before the regu lar morning worship is to be held in which Mrs Leonard Beecher is to be read, and a part of the Sunday school will present programme of music ap- proprate to the Easter season. The choir will render some especially fine numbers.
 A very excellent musical programme preceded the regular service at the Lyric last night. Dr. Edmonds' topic was the Kings Decision, in which he portrayed the man Jesus, human tempted even as we are,'' yet without sin. The recorded temptations were gone into in detail, from the human side of his nature, and how gradually He arose over and be- yond all personal equation. He did lot sacrifice the far for the near; He would not take short cut 70 satify His am bition, by giving an overt sign, to dem onstrate His power, as turning stones into bread, flinging Himself from the temple would have done, His was a spiritual kingdom and it was difficult to show the people just what that was.
 Jesus followed duty, though that led Him to Calvary, ana It is because of His wonderful character, His nearness to God, His beauty, life and death that we acclaim Him King

Vesper Services By
 Dr. H. M. EdmOnds

Palm Sunday, the day upon which Jesus, entering Jerusalem, was hailed as King, was the topic of Dr. H. M. Ed monds discourse at the Temple yester- day morning. |
 "The entrance of the King, not into the city on that day alone, but into the hearts of men and women in all walks of life, in the alleys and on the boule- wards. What was if that made Him king?" asked pr. Ednonds.
 His real power over men was, in in- innate contrast with them, a sympa- thetic touch not condoning their mis- deeds, but understanding and desiring to help, called forth a response in the hearts of men, who saw in Him, the perfection the achievement of that goal which they themselves possessed only in germ.
 "He had attained to holiness the chief desire of man, and His followers saw the flower of desire attained, complete His was a voluntary kingdom. founded on personal love. All of the difficulties of individuals, families and nations can be solved by allegiance to the King. only as men submit themselves to Him entire ly can the wrongs be- made right l Dr. Edmonds will conduct vesper ser vice every afternoon, except Saturday at the temple, beginning at o'clock ant

Gods Favor and Mans Folly"-Dr. Ross Baker.

At the Woodlawn Baptist church yes terday morning Dr. c. Ross Baker used as his sermon topic, Gods Favor and forcefu sermon to large congregation.
 pr. Baker said in part
 If ever a people received favor from God it was the Jews. Using the figure of a vinyard, God inquiries what more He could have done in it? Everything possible, in planting, watering and dressing had been done. Why should not the husbandman look for and expect eweet luscious grapes? A vineyard which has received every possible care. yield ing nothing but wild. sour grapes.
 Let the church stand for the vine- yard and we may expect the Master to look for something more than the wild grapes. God has blessed the Christian church even more abundantly than the Jews He expects fruit Woe unto the church that does not produce it. Now the church is made up of individuals, and cannot be phenomenally successful unless each member in the church is bearing fruit God looks for fruit and each individual is responsible to great CT or less degree for what God shall find.
 Are we bearing the kind of fruit God wishes? Yes, and no. We are bearing 1t but in too small quantities. Where IS the trouble? The bitterest pan$ earth holds for you and ue springs from in gratitude One of the sweetest fruits which should greet the coming of the Lord of the vineyard is gratitude. Christ has given Himself for us: We must Keep our heatrs full of gratitude. if we want to perform a service which shall be cheerful and effectual.
 ''The trouble with many is, they forget that they were sinners; forget they were lost; forget the awful agony of Calvary. They indulge the hope, nay cherish the belief that they are saved: but do not care to keep the cost of their salvation before their eyes. However, this spirit is not only one of the noblest traits Of man, but one of the surest prophecies oi success in Christian labor.

"Oh. the dubious American pubic, the Stones Cake Princess remarked lhls morning in a most dejected sort or way. Saving which she stuffed couple or dollar bills back into the over-croWoed bag, giving them perhaps. an unusually severe push. And the Stones Cake Prih- cess has reason to be angry as you VIII see. This little enchanting person IS distributing dollar bills. as has been eH- plained in the papers for four weeks, to thousand of housewives all over the , city who are using stones Cakes or has a Stones Cake or a part or stone s Cake at the time the Stones Cake Prin- cess calls But this in itself is a most delightful task as the young lady mas found it is the greatest pleasure in the world, she says. to give money away to people who'll take it. Sometimes though, they won't take it, thinking you are trying to fool them, and sometimes they don't take it because they neglect opportunities.
 Wherefore the young lady's anger. Wherefore that becoming frown For Saturday while on her travels in the Highland avenue territory the stones Cake Princess came across woman who compiled with all the rules of this unique advertising contest, and smiled upon her very sweetly the Stone's Cake Princess bestowed in the most graceful fashion one of those crisp new dollar bills The woman looked first at the new dollar bill. and then at the honest face of the Stones Cake Princess, say ing: "Oh, can't use that; we don't want any counterfeit money around here" Thereupon the Stones Cake Princess collapsed. Of course. she did this speak ing figuratively. but as she explained it herself after while: You could have knocked me over with a feather.
 Of course. the Stone Cakes Princess don't distribute anything but good and clean American money among the housewives, but the little lady, after explaining why the Stones Cake Prin- cess preferred to handle new bills in

 himself in his best altitude and employs his choicest language, and in all ways makes himself most attractive. So, in winning souls to Christ we should lead worthy life and make Christianity beautiful and attractive.
 "A correlative passage to the text IS found in the book of Daniel: And they that be wise shall shine as the bright ness of the Armament God rewards his children, God pays us for our work for His Kingdom, There is no lam guage to describe the Armament. What Is more beautiful than the Heavens? What is more interesting than astron omy solar systems and infinity? The wise man shines like so many stars Men are material and will pass away with material things. There are in- dividual and stationary stars; the North star, the Evening star and the Morning star. The heart is thrilled by a vision of these beauties.
 When the material universe shall pass away, at the end of the world; when the Heavens are rolled back like scroll the spiritual universe shah be established, it will be the sons and daughters of God that will make up the spiritual universe and they shall shine as the Armament"
