Rev. Walter V0m Bruch Makes
Strong Plea in Second Sermon
Of Revival,

Geneseo. Jan. 4.-The union
eVangelistic services which were
inaugurated at the Armory last
Sunday evening were resumed last
evening with a large attendance
present. The large choir was in
creased in numbers and sang we'll
under the direction of Rev. Walter
Vom Bruch, who also contributed
pleasing cornet solo. During Of
fertory Mrs. Walter Vom BTuch
played piano solo which stamps her
as one of the most capable pi1nists
who has ever appeared in this city.
breaches Strong Sermon.
The evangelist made a strong
plea for return to gospel sermons
and songs, a revival of bible study
and prayer and allegiance to Christ
and His cause. He said in part,
taking his text from Habakkuk 80,
20 Lord, revive Thy work"
When Habakkuk carried this
prayer to God a condition OF con-
tention and strife existed in Israel.
Everyone was doing that which was
right in their own eyes. That's the
condition that exists today. with
all our churches, with all our
bibles, with all our Sunday schools,
sermons and songs. Isn't it true
folks are living to suit themselves?
Is God pleased? That never entersi
their mind. l should worry, is the
attitude that is damning and blight,
ing the lives of church members
today. We need a revival of prac-
teal Goodness, or Americas DOOM

You'll never reach hearts by
preaching soft sentimentalism.
You've got to aim right between
the eyes and ring the bell every
time you pull the trigger. l be-
lieve this book from cover to cover.
a bible full OF holes. The miracles
don't stagger. but Gods many prom
ises dove are SO unworthy.
We've done a great thing in our
schools. We've taken the bible out
and put it in the penitentiaries.
That's like removing a fence from
the precipice to build a hospital at
the foot of it. If there was ever
day in our Christian experience you
knew the Lord better than you do
today. you're a backslider. God
never intended Christianity to com
mence with a feast and end with
famine Uncle Sam has the right
10 take the life Of a traitor Give
Cod the same right in this town
and you won't have enough folks
eft to run a prayer meeting We

Meeting for Young People.
A special meeting for boys and

light poles were carried away by
the heavy wind that swept across
the sound.

Huguenot Park and carried all of
the railroad and Western Union

the railroad had TO chop the tree
away before a train could pass.
