Final Sermon; Large

The Army leader chose as his text
"Found Out" and he developed il

The speaker related that every
thing, particularly sin, pertained to
his subject.
1t has always been the habit of sin
ners to hide their sins, the speaker
continued, in fact, men are much
more anxious not to be found out
than they are not to do wrong. Hid
den sin is an awful evil, the speak
er said, all sin is really coming to
light There is nothing hid that shall
not be known, God says so, Adjutant
Willett related. 1t shall come out
at the bar of God. Every sinner shall
hear the Indictment against him
Every man shall have to answer
guilty or not guilty. Which?
The congregations have been large
each evening, and pastors of church
es in Henderson and vicinity have
