INCREASING
IN METHODIST REVIVAL

Each night the meetings at the
Methodist Episcopal church show in
creased interest and power. The
Tuesday night meeting was charac-
terized by several renewing their
vows and some beginning the Chris
tian life for the first time. The at
tendance was good and a deep inter-
est pervaded the whole meeting.
Mrs. H. D. Martin sang a beautiful
solo and the whole congregation join
ed in the chorus. Mr.. Harold Len
hard gave the minute mans address.
He said that to him the only rounded
character was the Christian charac-
ter. He was a Christian because it
was life that brought the best
things and the best time. Life to him
was joyful and offered so many good
things and opportunities that he
would like to see every one a Christ
ian.
The program of the Christian life
did not leave idle moments in which
young man had nothing to do but
gave something for every spare mo-
ment. 1t also offered to every young
man mans job Something worthy
of the best steel in him.
Mr.. Lenhard is Moscow boy and
the congregation listened to him with
great interest.
DR.. Perry preached from Matthew
25:10 "...... and the door was shut"
His sermon follows in part.
Tuesday of the Passion Week was
the busiest day which Jesus had.
The Scribes and Pharisees tried in
the first place to trip Him with many
hair-splitting questions. They fol-
lowed the course of many modern
teachers of religion. Jesus parried
their onslaught and then himself
took the aggressive. He gave several
parallels and incidents that got them
right down to practical considerations
both for this life and the life to come.
He talked about folks who say they
will do things and do them not. About
others who kill Gods prophets and
cruelty the Son of God. About those
who reject the greatest invitation
ever given by the King of Heaven.
He said that the widow who gave her
all in two mites really contributed
more than they all. He pronounced
woe upon the Scribes and Pharisees
for their hypocracy. He pronounced
judgment upon them for their wicked
lives closing with that marvellous
judgment scene. In the parable of
the talents he called attention to the
fact that every man would be held re-
sponsible for every talent that God
had given to him. And then con-
cluded with the parable of the ten
wherein He emphasized the
necessity of being ready for all the
of life, even that of
death.
A maxium of the agriculturist is
that Everything must be done in sea-
son., that nothing must be done too
late."> 1t may be well to look for the
coming of Jesus Christ but the main
thing is to be ready for Him when
He does come. There seemed to be
no difference between the wise and
the foolish virgins until the bride
groom came. Then it was only those
who were ready who went in. The
question for every man is 'Will | be
ready when the emergencies of life
Gomez" Death, financial loss, sick
ness, loss of friends or position
These things and others are always |
trying to take men off their feet. |
Upon you they come suddenly-as
suddenly as the midnight cry "Be-
hold the bridegroom cometh!" One
IF the saddest clauses in the whole
English language is the text "and the |
1oor was shut" The door of mercy
s now open. Certain opportunities
not taken advantage of are lost
forever.

The leader is anxious that there be
| full attendance tonight as there will

hight but we want it overflowing to-
light.
