Iliately behind the seat was q
trunk rack, consisting OF several
highly polished nickle bars. Tan
upholstery. an extra wire wheel
and tire, a nickle radiator and
nickle drum head lights were fea-
lures of the Buick. Mr.. Beatty,

Warrington was kept busy for
some time after he parked the car

lions OF people interested in 1t.

WHERE Will YOU
. SPENDETERN|TY?
James Asked the High
School Pupils at
N. E. Church

MANNlNGTON, March ia
delegation that filled the center
section Of the auditorium In the
NJ. E. Church last night heard the
sermon on Eternity" preached by
Rev. H. A. James.
81 want to ask you one cues
tion," said Rev. James at the be-
ginning of his talk, land It is the
most important thought In all the
world. want all of you, and es-
pecially the high school students,
to think about It tonight. Where
will you spend eterinlty?"
You know that time will soon
be no more, he said, and you
know that eternity Is before you.
Then. why not consider It in an
intelligent manner7
Some people might say, how
do you know there is life after
this one? How do you know there
is an eternity?' said Rev. James.
I'm tell you how. Jesus died,
and was dead three days, and He
rose again. He came back with
proofs that He was the same
Jesus who died. He rose from the
grave with the Roman soldiers
guarding the stone that had been
sealed. They couldn't keep Him
there when the angel OF God
came. and rolled the stone away.
Where you spend eternity is
more important then where you
spend this unimportant lIfe," he
declared, yet think Of the time
and money and sacrifice that you
make to educate and develop this
earthly body, and how little We
think Of eternity and preparation
for It." He added, you are born
to live somewhere through eter-
While speaking OF some of the
selfishness Of life, the speaker
said: Some OF you rich fellows
will never get any Joy out of life
until you loosen up and help some
OF the needy ones. What does It
matter II you live in a howell or
a mansion: whether you are rich
or poor; so long as you live with
God through eternity?
1.-THE devil offers YOU lot OF
fun and pleasure now, but how
about the end? What are you go
ing. to do theu?" he asked. It Is
possible for you to know where
you1a going to spend eternity
and to know It right now, he de-
clared.
AS an illustration proving that
men know where they are going
when they come TO die, Rev.
James told OF a certain railroad
man, known by himself and ono
OF Mannington's citizens. This
man had both legs crushed in an
accident, and he bled SO much
that the doctor said he would die
before the operation. The injured
man, after they got him to the
hospital, raised himself, up on his
elbow and asked the nurse to get
him some water: Tie nurse was
gone a little longer than he
thought she ought to be, and he
cried, my God, nurse, hurry with
that water! I'm going where there
Is no water"
II can't understand the man
who believes IN heaven and does
not believe in hell" he declared.
Mature is made up Of extremes
and, contrasts. There is leo and
there is fire: there is up and there
Is down; there is black and there

Where you will spend eternity

said. There, isn't one verse In
the Bible that gives me the slight
est hope Of another chance. 1t is
appointed unto man once to de-

ment.
Where you will spend eternity
depends entirely upon what you

TO be right and reasonable and
proper to do today"
Addressing the high school
students directly, he said, Death
IS knocking on the trail Of every
one Of US. and sooner or later we
will go. High school, II you are
not right, Get right"
