Unusually Forceful
Sermons Last Sunday
First Baptist Church
Rev. S. p. White, of Shelbyville, Tenn,
Delivers Two Splendid Discourses
Large Congregations.

Audiences that taxed the capacity
of the First Baptist Church of Column
bus, last Sunday morning and night,
enjoyed two of the strongest and most
forceful sermons ever heard in this
city. The Rev. S. P..White, d. d., of
Shelbyville, Tenn, who came to CO.
lumbus upon the invitation Of the
Pulpit Committee of the church, occu-
pied the pulpit and delivered two dis
courses that were at once profound,
scholarly, earnest and edifying.
In the forenoon, Doctor White used
as his theme "The Lost Keys" At
night the subject was "The Survival
of the Spiritual"
In "The Lost Keys" the minister
referred to the fact that unto the
church had been given the keys to the
kingdom of Heaven and these keys
must not be lost, but must to used to
unlock the doors to the throne Of
grace and spiritual growth. 1t is our
privilege to use these keys and use
them every day and every hour. If
they are lost, said the minister, then
we suffer spiritual death and are lost
and undone. "Guard carefully the
keys to the kingdom Of Heaven said
the minister, "for their proper use
will lead us through the gates Of life
into the celestial city,"
The night sermon was even more
profound that the forenoon discourse.
Three members Of the church were
heard to say as they left the cdifice
after the night service that it was
the most forceful sermon they had
ever heard. The subject was 1.-THE
Survival of the Spiritual" and in this
discourse Doctor White referred to
the fact that the only life that will
survive 'the wreck Of matter and the
crash Of worlds" is the spiritual life.
Wealth becomes scattered, fortunes
fade, even the mighty pyramids that
have withstood the rayages Of many
centuries will some day be as dust and
level with the plains. but the spirits
of the just will Flourish in eternal
youth" when time as we know it shall

WAR CLOUD

Teutons' Failure To Keep Faith
With Allies Responsible
For Warlike Moves of

Berlin, March THE first con-
tingent of French troops assigned to
participate in the occupation of
Dusseldorf is reported to have ar
rived at Benrath, six miles southeast
of Dusseldorf.
London, March THE negotiations
over the German indemnity were
broken today; action comes tomor-
row with the march of French, Brit
ish and Belgian forces into Germany
and the occupation of large section
of her richest manufacturing coun-
try. Even now the allied troops are
on the move, for late Berlin dispatch
says that French troops who will oet
cupy Dusseldorf have advanced to
within six miles Of that city.

Mr.. Lloyd George, delivering judg-

deplored the necessity of the decision,
while DR.. Simons chung to the last to
the contention that the Paris demands
were imposed for Germany to full

course as strategy for delay, and the

Germany might hold more favorable

DR.. Simons finally asked for further

LOCAL CHURCH
CALLS A PASTOR
Rev. Arthur GrOwden, of Tulla-
homa, Tenn, Will Preach for
Disciples of Christ.

Rev. Arthur GroWden, OF Iulianoma,
Tenn, occupied the pulpit of the Co
lumbus Christian Church, last Sun
day, preaching at eleven o'clock in the
forenoon and at 1880 p. m.
Attentive and appreciative con-
gregations heard the Rev. Mr.. Grow
den, who delivered thoughtful, able,
logical and edifying discourses.
In the forenoon the sermon was up
on the subject of "Neighborliness'
based upon the query propounded by a
certain lawyer to the Savior, "Who
Is My Neighbour" The discourse
was especial interesting in view of
the fact that the Rev. Mr. Growden
visited the country described some
years ago and made the trip from
Jerusalem down to Jericho.
"The thieves are still there" said
the minister, and it is not safe even to
this day for men to journey that way
alone. Accompanying the party of
which was member was an Assyr-
ian guard, armed to the teeth
"Who Is Your Neighbour" inquired
- the minister. ut may be the man
living next door to you, or it may be
a man in the next county or the next
state. Just now, it seems to- me, our
neighbors are the men, women and
children in Europe and in China who
are perishing for lack Of the bare
necessities of life"
The minister's idea was that a
neighbor was any person who needed
help, any person to whom we could
render service, without reference
to geographical location.
At night the sermon was founded
upon the Apostle Paul's comforting
words to the Athenians who had been
worshiping ''Thc Unknown Cod Here
again the minister spoke with know
ledge of the location, for ne also
visited the beautiful city of Athens on
one of his trips abroad, and actually
stood with barred head and in revcren7
tiai awe on the very spot where Paul
stood when he preached his sermon
on Mars Hill at Athens.
At the conclusion of the night SER
vice. a congregational meeting was
called by Mr.. Davis, and call was
extended the Rev. Mr.. Growden to the
pastorate OF the church. He accept
ed the call and will begin work as
pastor on Sunday, March GOTH
. The Rev. Mr.. Growden was most
favorably impressed with Columbus.
He stated from the pulpit that this
is one of the most beautiful cities ne
had ever visited, and likened Column
bus to Santa Barbara, Cal, in point
of natural attractiveness. That he
will receive hearty and cordial well
come to Columbus goes without say
ing. Our people will soon make him
feel perfectly at home and will CO.
operate with him in everything he
undertakes for the good of our city
and its people.
