WUI Preach Tonight on "The
M mm Who Repented Too le^N
" Disappointed at heaven's gates"
was The subject of Dr. Anderson's
sermon tut night at the Baptist
church. A* splendid audience greet
ed him when he arose to speak. Dr.
Anderson read as the Scripture lesson
the parable of the wise and foolish
of various kMW
of disappointment but said the great
est disappointment that can come to
a human soul Is to think they are
saved and then to. be lost. There
are many who will stop at the gates
of heaven and aak for admittance,
but the answer will come from with
in, "I know yqd not." Then they will
reply. "But Lord, down on earth we
were church members; we ^attended
services; we paid our money to the
church."
Dr. Anderson mentioned three
classes of people who will be disap
pointed at heaven's gates. The first
class are thosl who say. "We will
risk It." "We are a race of gamblers
and will take chanoes. Ever since
Eve took a chance In the Garden of
Eden men have been taking chances. I
The gambling lnsttact Is In the hu- 1
man heart and men will gamble on
their soul's salvation.
The second class of people who
will be disappointed at heaven's
gates, said Dr. Anderson, are thotfe
who believe that everybody is going I
to be sayed. There are many peo
ple In the world who have an idea
fthal Ood is not going to save some i
*t>low. others to be" lost. Then |
Mtotod ont the contrast between
and righteousness showing that
two eould not be in heaven at the I
same tfme. - I
The next class of people mention
ed by the speaker was the class of i
people who call themselves moralists
thoee who are depending upon
their morality to take them to heav
en. t>r. Anderson pointed out the
differeneo between Christianity and
morality. '^Morality makes a man
care for hlfraelf; Christianity makes
a man ear# Mr Christ. Morality tak**
a man to h?H* ohrtstianlty takes him

sertion from the Greek army Is re
ported in, Athens dispatches and hint
that a declaration of war may be
expected at any time. Practically
every garrison in old Greece has
joined the revolutionary movement.
The soldiers have also left. Rumors
that tho entire cabinet will resign
followed the long conference on the
situation which was created by the
abrupt departure of Venlieloe for
Crete.
The entire nation Is In a 'muddle.'
Critical action Is expected at any day
and it is believed that the only step
that wil? again unite the country
will be the taking up of arms on the
side of the allies.
A wireless from Rome reports that
cabinet haa decided to re

report, although confirmed, is ac
cepted as further Indication of an
early declaration of war.
