MM* STRONG SERMON WM j PREACHED AT THE RQflVALLAST NIGHT "Biggest B twines* in the World** DiM-oiMd by Dr. AnderM Be fore Large Coogi^gatloik , "The biggest business In the world" was the subject of Dr. As demon's sermon at last night's re vival meeting st the Baptist church. The largest congregation -of the week waa present to hear the sermon. Dr. Anderson began his discussion by saying thai some people had, a a their chief business, the making of money. He said that there was no harm in making money or growing rich, as long as honest methods were pursued, but pointed out that moiiey was not every?hlng. He stated fur ther that other peopel had "a good !tlme" as their principal ambition In life. "1 l|ke a good time as well as any one/* he said, "and I believe that 1 am having* n goOd time. But sorne tlmesVa good time may *>e compared to the flowers that help to make this world a beautiful en* to-live in. I read an account of Ave young people ?carefree and happy ? who went out In atsmall boat to gather some water lillea. Some grew careless and the boat upset They were not a swim ming crowd and when they finally managed to clamber up on the over turned boat, they found that one of the party ? a beautiful young girl ? waa missing. One of the young men dove into the water at the point where they thought she had gone down, and found her entangled? en tangled ? in the stems of the beauti ful lilies that they had been admir ing. She waa drowned. And that may be used as a comparison of the offect that a good time has on some persons." Dr. Anderson went on to say that other people had Politics and honor from their fellow men as their chief business of lifo. "But while they are cheered and honored one* day, they are rldlcultfl and despised tho next," he said. He concluded hia sermon by showing In a powerfully vivid manner that "the biggest bus iness in the world" was the bringing of another soul In touch with God. There were nine additions to the church last night sb the result of the invitation that wan extended at the conclusion of the sermon. Tonight. Dr. Anderson will take as his sub ject: "Will one sin send a man to hell?" He also announced a motto for the Meetings: "Come to church, and bring a friend with you." 1 USE PHONOGRAPHS 10 RECRUIT ARMY (By United Press) Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 21. ?
