And Repenance By All Daily
In Revival At Baptist Church
Revival services with Evangelist
Carl Bassett preaching will contin
ue at Murphy First Baptist Church
through Sunday evening. There
will he no service Saturday even
ing. Large crowds have been hear
ing the messages of the evangelist,
who each evening at 7:49 opens
the service with a period of hymn
singing, when he accompanies
with the trombone. Miss Sally Mor
ris Is organist and Misses Shirley
Bates and Rosalind Staktap pian
ists.
The beautiful chalk painting Il
lustrating his message which Mr
Basset* does each evening is giv
er away to the person who has
brought the most new people to
the service.
During his sermon the church is
In semi-darkness, and masterpieces
of Christ and His sacrifice flashed
on the screen help' portray the
message.
Preaching the crucified Christ,
calling upon church members to
get right with God and sinners to
repent Mr. Baasett has made such
emphatic statements as the fol
lowing:
"K you break man's laws, you
are a criminal; if you break God's
laws, you are a worse criminal, for
God is greater than man.
"I charge you with the erhnaon
crime of letting ttmnearwii go from
your dtjr into eternity lost through
your criminal nyglect So
we could cany on past
Its Ooi-L
"We have
aim ? Sgaw
and never attend a prayer meeting;
church members who are thrilled
by movies and bored by sermons;
members who are more familiar
with a deck of cards than the Bi
ble; church homes with bridge
whist but no family altar. We call
them Christians and bush and
cover up their sins. How are we
going to get power until the
church repents and quits sinning,
so the city will say to us, 'Now we
believe in you. for you remind us
of Jesus.' You must either forsake
sin or your Sihrlour. You cannot
have both."
i "Jesus died of a broken heart?
literally of a broken heart; so de
clared by the Scripture and proven
beyond a doubt by medical
science. It was not the thorns or
scourge or nails or spear that
broke Jesus's heart. It was the sins
of church members.
"There are lust two roads
through life; one began at Calvary
and leads to Heaven; it is the way*
of the cross; the other road leads
to Hall, and It is the way of self.
"Laughingly they nailed Jesus
to the cross. Instead of giving Him
a magnificent throne, they gave
Him a cross of shame. But that
croas of ahame, soon became an
emblem of victory. Once a thing
of horror, now a thing of honor.
Tonight there la a man in glory
with the sign of the crocs all over
Him. And Ha wants
to fallow Him. In avory heart I
is a cross and a throne. If self Is
on the throne, then Joans taaa tba
than m If is an tba
ston means two deaths. It meant
one death at Calvary. It means
another death to yourself every
day you live.
"I will tell you one fact that
ought to silence and shame every
unbeliever in town. No man was
ever known to rppent of Christi
anity on his deathbed and turn to
infidelity but thousands of infidels,
when they stared into their coffins,
have renounced infidelity and turn
ed to Jesus.
"Would you treat a dog better
than you would treat Jesus? If a
dog dragged you unconscious from
a burning building or from a river,
when you recovered consciousness,
wouldn't you pat him on the head
and try to thank him? Say, did
you ever look up and say, "Thank
you," to Jesus?
"I plead with ^rou, for Jesus,
