10 Eternity! How Long It Is "7 he Wages of Sin is Death, Eternal Death" Rev. Frank Siler Preach es a Clear-Cut Gospel Sermon. "I believe in eternal death because I believe in eternal life. The Eng lish language is a great language but neither it nor any other language can convey to the mind an adequate idea of the awfulness of the thought of eternity. Talk about insanity! There is no insanity in the world comparable to that insanity which rejects Jesus Christ as Savior of the soul!" These were a few sentences from a most impressive and powerful ser mon preached by Rev. Frank Siler at the Tryon Street Methodist Church last night. Monday night is a bad night for big audiences but the largest week-night audience of the revival so far had gathered; yet it developed when the preacher put his appeal that almost without exception the congregation was made up of Christian people. The speaker said that there should be more work on the part of Christians in bringing the unsaved out to the meetings. Mr. Siler's text was: "The wages of Sin is Death."' (Rom. C.:23) and he preached a clear-cut gosptd sermon, f.ich as is certain to probe down in to the dent'is of the human spirit, if 1,'IllV lilt" lllill nv n hear such preaching had been there. A wage-earner always asks certain questions before accepting a position: "For whom am I going to work?" The sneaker showed the beauty of serving Christ as Master rather than Satan, who pays off in the script of death. "What kind of work am I to do?" Narrating some striking instances of from his personal experience of liver, wrecked by sin. Mr. Siler pointed out the disreputableness of sin. The most disreputable thing in the world, said the speaker, "is to reject the Son of God. No, you would not kill the preacher tonight but as long as youi reject Christ you belong to the mob that crucified Him on Calvary. Ev-er- sinner is crucifying llim. Christ is just as much on trhil here in Char lotte as He was in Jerusalem over llnjo vears ago." "Is" it a hard work?" asks the wage-earner. "The way of the trans gressor is hard. It wrecks lives. Hut to take the yoke of Christ gives one the power of omnipotence at his right hand. We put the yoke on the ox to help him pull his load not. to hamper him. So with Christ's yoke. "How about the danger of the work?" What is the risk? The diver from the high ladder here in Char lotte last week probably had to pay big life insurance. It is a dangerous job lie has. Sinner, you are in a more dangerous place than that diver. If you are out of Christ you are ex posed to eternal death. It is danger ous to delay. It is dangerous to neglect so great salvation. I was preaching in Kansas and a man un der conviction said: "I can't decide tonight. I must go back to work in the plaster banks and tomorrow I will come back and decide about my soul. That night the plaster banks caved in on him and two days later they held his funeral. I am here to tonight to preach the righteousness of Christ. The wages of sin is death. Would you go to work for a firm who advertised: 'Our wages is death?' Yet you are doing just as foolishly in remaining in the slavery of sin." The speaker's picture of eternity was graphic. It would be as long as it would take a house fly with its foot to saw through a pane of glass. Yea, it would be as long and longer than it would take a fly in this way to cut the planet in two and then, go to work to do the same with the oth-j er planets in the whole universe. The bright side of the picture is this: "The gift of God is eternal life." If one has laid his sins on Christ, God sees that one through Jesus Christ. To as many as receiv ed Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God." There was a service this morning again at 10 o'clock and there will be preaching again tonight, the service of song, acceptably led by Mr. Butt, beginning at 7:45 o'clock. THIS MORNING'S SERVICE. The Morning Service Today Was Un usually Well Attended. Mr. Siler preached on "Ambassa dors for Christ." Plans were adopt ed at the close of the service by which it is proposed to hold brief noon hour meetings in a number of the mills and factories with the pur pose of arousing a ninterest among the unsaved. The desire for a great revival in the hearts of the Christ ians is growing. Services tonight and every night this week at 7:45 o'clock. All are cordially invited. ' CAPTURE OF MILLS. Secretary Corwith Threw the Rope Well When He Lassoed Him. Secretary Corwith of the Greater Charlotte Club, made a ten-strike when he got a line on Mr. Mills to make his great speech on forestry here. The following letter bears out this statement: "Chamber of Commerce, "Greensboro, N. C, April Cth, 1908 "Mr. W. T. Corwith, Charlotte, N. C "My Dear Sir: I want to thank you for putting us in touch with Mr. Enos A. Mills on forestry. His lec ture was a treat and I am indebted to you for same. "Whenever you have anything up your sleeve like this, I shall be only too glad to hear from you and will reciprocate in the same manner when ever I am so fortunate as to come in touch with a man of such national repute as Enos A.
