PASTOR SAYS SIN
CAUSES DISTRESS
Rev. J. u. league Continues
To Bring Fine Messages
at South End Revival

Continuing the revival services at
South Henderson Baptist church, Rev.
j. u. league spoke Wednesday even
ing on Returning to God.
The text was from Malachi, 81. IRE
turn unto me and 1 will return unto
you" The minister said that all the
trouble and distress is caused by de-
parture from God, and that there is
no right to expect to ask or expect
Him to give relief as long as one
maintains cold, distant and obstinate
attitude toward Him and His work.
In returning to God, the minister said,
there is ihut one route possible
confession. It is hard thing to admit
you are wrong, it is a hard thing to
say I have sinned,' but salvation
through Jesus is too big thing to be
easy.
The minister cited several instances
where confession failed because it
was made in the wrong way. PharOah
said 81 have sinned' but failed to
abide by his good resolve. Achan said
II have sinned" but because of the
fear of death and not from any peni-
tential feeling for his crime. Balaam
odIu nave SlIlIlCO, OOC do oOOll CD
the angel was gone, he went down
into the camp of those who had lined
themselves up with Satan.
In closing, Rev. Mr.. league brought
out beautiful story of the prodigal
son who embodics all the characterics
of an honest penitent. He realized his
condition and need and was sorry; he
was willing to put forth some effort
in order to go back to the Father, he
made an honest confession; and show
ed a willingness to do service for his
father out of appreciation for His
mercy, love and generosity.

Worst and Best Voices
Sought by Teacher
To Prove Theory

The worst natural voice without
previous vocal training and the
best natural unframed voice are
being sought by prominent New
York city vocal instructor for free
scholarships to prove an argu-
ment.
The vocal coach will try to
demonstrate once and for all
whether anyone with an indomi-
table will to become an opera
singer many overcome the obstacle
of the worst natural voice he can
find and attain his goal.
On the other hand the vocal
teacher wishes to use the posseSSor
of the best natural voice as a
measuring stick with which to
Judge the worst voice. Looks more
like an advertising stunt-that is
why the teachers name is not
mentioned here. To prove any
thing of value on this mooted sub
ject, a large number of such tests
should be made with the answer
deducihle from the average result.
The theme shown above is intro
duced by the strings in the third,
or Scherzo movement of Schubert's
Symphony No. T." This movement
is about as near as Schubert ever
approached the mood of humor.
It is the result of his strange
power of conjuring opposite
effects.
