YMGELbTICE!EnKG 1,'EARS CLOSING DATE A Number Have Allied Them selves With The Army Of Christ. ' The warehouse is gradually Bear ing the end. Much remains to be dune. Much work must be accom plished. Only two more day serv ices remain before the final Sabbath. The evangelist took as hi text I John 1:9: "If we confess our sins. He is just and willing to forgive us our sine and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' Men find that they are full of sir, and are planted deep in sin. The great Question that men face is how am I to get this sin out of me and how am I going to get out of siaf If yot wish to find the way you have only to read what the text say. We find in the verse two things: One is our confession to God and the other is God' clesnsing and forgive ness. And forgiveness depends on our confession. And if we care for a Biblical definition we can find it in these wbrds: "I am sorry that I ever sinned. I am sorry thst I have sin in my life. I am sorry that I am r. sinner. " The second thing implied may be stated thus: '.'I am so sorry that, I am going to give them up." The trouble with most men is that they reserve the right sin when they want to. You can't say: "I am going to do right most of the time, but 1 re aerve the right to sin at certain times," You simply can't sin and be child of God. Then the latter part of the text says J that wtten you are so aorry that you j are witling to forsake and forsake in earnest Be is just and willing to for give you your sins. If we only cut it out the great good God of Heaven will stoop down by our side and for give us our ains. He promises it. The evangelist then made an ap peal for all those who would take his stand for Christ. Quit a number answered the call. Only three more days of service remain. Let Fayetteville be busy. WEATHER.
