A SERMON TO MEN
By DIR. II. +. CH1PPERFIELD.

There is constantly rising tide of
interest in the tabernacle meetings
which is evidenced by the attendance.
Yesterday brought out a record crowd
at each of the services. The afternoon
meeting was unique gathering for
"men only" at which there were over
three hundred present. There was a
capacity audience at the evening meet
ing. There will be no services in the
tabernacle tonight, as Monday is taken
by the team for rest each week.

will speak Tuesday evening.
Talk to Men.
Mr.. Harper's talk to men at the af-
tcrnoon hour yesterday was a straight
appeal to men to think. He stated
that thinking is the hardest task which
any man tackles. Men would rather do
most anything than to think. Manual
work with the sweat dripping is easier
done than hard thinking. That's one
reason why people would rather attend
a punch and judy show than to listen
to an address which makes them think.
Many a man follows an evil sug.
gcdjon which leads to wrong life
because he does not think. Whence
comes the wicked impulse? 1t does not
spring from the ground. There is never
n thought without spirit as the
father Of it. Whence comes the vicious
thought! 1t has source. That source
is the devil. Men follow wicked i'm
pluses to their own destruction because
they don't think. Why will any man
drink? We know the result in others
but men rush into drinking because
they don't think Of the result. II the
devil can keep control Of mans
thinker, that is all he wants. That is
the very thing God wants, too. What
soever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest. whatsoever things
are just. whatsoever things are pure.
whatsoever things are Of good report.
if there be any virtue, if there he any
praise, think on these things.
Evening Service.
Mr.. Harper spoke in the evening Oh
Keeping Step with God" He recalled
some who had walked with God.
Enoch, Abraham and others. No man
can keep step with God unless he walks
with God. If you walk with God you
will have to so Gods way. Many a
man is out Of step with God today bc.
cause he is walking in way Of his
own rather than the way God shows
him.
