EVANGELIST SPEAKS
 AT CHURCH MEETING

Evangelist Hawkins spoke last night at the Central Methodist church on What it Costs Not to Be a Christian" He said a great many people, especial ly young people, refrained from becom- ing Christians because they imagined that they would have too much to give up to be a follower of Christ. The evangelist declared that it costs vastly more not to be Christian than to be- come a devoted follower of Christ. He showed how those wbo refrained from being Christians gave up hope both Cor the best in this life and in the life beyond; how they sacrificed real joy and peace of conscience and efficient service when they refused Christ as their master.
 At the conclusion of the services an appeal was made for all who desired to make Christ real and personal in their lives to come forward, aN- snany came to the altar for prayer and in struction.
 The meetings will continue daily un- til Easter Sunday. Every day at l0 o'clock meetings ere being held in the homes and every afternoon at 2:30 and every evening at 7:20 meetings are held at the church. Friday night will be high school night" at which the evangelist will bring a special message to students of the high school
