finitely prolonged.
Mayor W. Hen Goodwin Friday
morning, speaking at the Instance
of a number of business and
professional men of the city, de
clared from the platform of the
Ham-Ramsay tabernacle at the
morning service Friday that It
was the Bentlment among those
men that It would mean a great
loss to this community were the
campaign to close next Sunday,
and that, though realizing the
^disruption that it would bring
plabout In the plans of the evange
listic party, they urged and would (
aupport the continuance of the
meeting here noxt week.
Mayor Goodwin first called
on the husinesa and professional
men to let it be known by rising;
and if there were any who kept
their seats they wero not seen by
the reporter for this newspaper.
A list of the business and profes
alonal men who are requesting a
continuance of the revival will bo

Responding to tlila expression
from the congregation, the evan
gelist set forth that ho had ex
pected to be at homo next week
and that there were particular
reasons why his family desired
him to be at home at this time;
but that he as ready to make the
sacrifice and to remain as long a*
might be necessary to complete
tlte work begun In this commun

newspapers to the effect that he
waa exported In that city Sunday

plained that his arrangements for
the future were alwaya made with
a proviso that would prevent him
from being taken away from any
field, of battle before the conflict
?ai 'won.
"I am going to be right here,
ho , declared." until the enemy
has been completely roulcd and
the Bmoke of the last gun fired
rhas been cleared."
The tabernacle was sold 1- Mdajr
morning to the higiiost bidder and
went to H. C. Forebee & Son of
Camden at $675. Mr. Ramsay
then announced that the cam
paign was over the top In the
matter of running eaponses and
that the plate would bo passed
no more for collections to defray
these expenses.
"Those of you who have boon
holding back and not coming lo
these services because you are
afraid of a collection." he said,
"can put your mind at ease and
come right along now. You won't
he bothered."
Several changes were made in
the published program at the Fri

for Instance, the topic in "The
Question that No man can An

way. the knockers, who stood by
to criticise and find fault, anil
the four workers who brought

URGE ATTENDANCE
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Pastors of all the Elizabeth Ci-?
ty chu relies are making the re
quest ? hut their members attend
the Sunday school bitvIcvs Sun
day morning.
There are two reason* for this.
First. Sunday school attend
ance and Interest have greatly In
creased Mince the beginning of the
Ham-Ramsay meeting here, and
th>* pastors hope to see this In
crease mount even higher.
Second, it would be selfish to
rush to the tabernacle and get a
good seat by staying away from
Sunduy school, letting the Sunday
school people take what Is left.
(Now. Sunday school will ad
journ in ample time for everybody
to get to the tabernacle for the'
morning service, so those who are
really interested In the good re
sults of the meeting here are
urged to attend the Sunday
schools and go from there to the
tabernacle.

school attendance, reports gath

was baaed upjn the following
text:
"Ye yourselves know, frrin die

21.
Five things are Implied in this
? text: The existence of God. man's
obligation to him. the existence of
s,n. man's fall and that man can
be rcntond.
World Cannot Katlnfy
Man Mas created In the Image
of God; but by ain lie lost much
of his resemblance and is no long
er a credit to his Maker. Hut no
matter bow low he may have
sunk, every man haa some like
n"?? to God In him. There 1h a
desire in every man to be better
than he in. The very fact that
there |m something in man too
bleb for thin old world to satisfy
proven that he wan not Intended
to grovel In It* evil.
I have never found a man so
mean yet that he enjoyed being
mean. No man wants to be a
liar; no man wants to be a thief
or a scoundrel, but there acem* to
be something In hii nature that
dragH him down despite that
nobler desire. Hence, on certain
occasions we find men making
new resolutions; the drunkard re
solves to drink no more; the pro
fane man resolve# to quit swear
inn ; the person of an evil temper
resolves to control that disposi
tion ; but every resolution man
makes only mocks him until he at
last comes to the conclusion that
there Is no use trying any more.
Well, this Is true, unless yon try
to overcome through repentance
toward God and faith toward Je
?US Christ
Let us discriminate between re
pentance toward sin and toward
God. A man may decide that bin
drinking is not good for him; It
is undermining his health, and
the best thing to do is to quit; but
that isn't repentance toward God.
but Just rep* ntlng of his drinking
A man may make up his mind
tbat it is the best thin* to Join
the church; It is a good place and
gives him respectability: but that
Isn't repentance toward God, The
only man who repents toward God
is the man who realties that he
has sinned acalnst God.
