Sunday school.
Yesterday morning DR.. Thacker
spoke on "The King and His
Three Mightiest Men, This story
was chosen from the Scripture which
tells of David expressing a desire
for a drink from the we'll which was
at the gate at Bethlehem, and where
three of his men broke through the
ranks of the enemy at the peril of
their own lives to bring him the wa
ter. This longing for water from
the home we'll is used as a basis for
the making of the home influence
count for God.
The home is the genesis not only
of the human being but of human
character, said DR.. Thacker. He
appealed very strongly for the re-es-
tablishing of the family altar in the
home and the training of the chill
dren for God. The evangelist en-
phasized the fact that we are no bet
ter than We are in our home; that
often there is a lack of positive
kindness, to often a real unkind-
ness in word and deed to the MEM
bers of the family.
The fast friendship existing be-
tween David and these friends mani
tested in the Scriptures read sound
ed as a call to his hearers to be
friends to mankind. Most beauti-
fully he illustrated how in apparent
wreckage there is often found those
things of greatest worth. Jesus
Christ mingled often with the
wrecks of humanity, but found the
jewels Of worth amidst the wreck
age. In most touching manner he
quoted the poem of Foss, the
thought for which was furnished
from a line from Homer, '"The House
by the Side of the Road 1t is a
shame for any man to live useless
life that counts for so little in the
community that he will not be miss
ed when he is dead, said DR.. Thack-
er.
Davids pouring out the water that
was bought at the peril of life as a
sacrifice to God, was used to urge
his hearers to give the best of their
talents and wealth and their all to
the Lord.
Last night the Baptist church,
it's Sunday school room, the stair
way leading to the upstairs Sunday
schools rooms, were packed to ca
pacity. More than a hundred peo-
pie were turned away from the
church. This is tribute to the gos-
pei as sung and preached by the
Thacker-Roddy meetings. The re-
suits of these meetings are shown
by the fact that yesterday alone
there were AZ professions of faith.
In all, there have been 100 profess
sions of faith and church letter re-
movals, most of them professions.
Something over 400 reconsecrations
have been made.
The subject last night was ''The
Insufficiency of Self and most
forceful and effective sermon was
delivered.
This morning the subject of DR..
Thacker's discourse was sThe Man
of Galilee." His text was taken
from Matthew 27:22, "What Shall I
do then with Jesus, called the
Christi
DR.. Thacker discussed his text un-
der the following points: the birth
of Jesus, his life and his death
Jesus was born that he might re-
deem the world from sin, 'sThou
shalt call his name Jesus for He will
save his people from their sins"
One thing all must bear in mind,
that all have sinned and come short

Why did Jesus live 33 years?
Why did he not come into the world

cross to pay the penalty for our sins
and justify us before God? He was

hood living life that he might
show us how to live. We should
take him therefore as our example.
Why did he die? The one and the
only one born into the world from
the DAYS Of Eden who did not have
