NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
•- REVIVAL INTEREST DEEPENS
Dr. Row Preaches Fine Sermon at For
est Hill Methodist Church.
Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, of Nashville,
Tenp., in the revival at Forest Hill
preached another sermon of great i>ower
1 Tuesday night. The congregation prac
tically filled the large auditorium of the
Church. A number of people from the
various churches of the city and Kan
napolis were rr ted in the congregation.
The attendance upon the morning ser
vice today was much larger than Tues
day, and great interest was plainly man
ifest. Pastor Armstrong announced that
Ifriday night would be “Young People's
Night.” All the Epworth Leaguers and
other young people will sit in a body.
The singing Tuesday night probably
surpassed that of any previous service.
The sermon Tuesday night was based
upon the beginning of the 27th verse of
the 25th chapter of Matthew, and was a
plea for moral and spiritual consistency.
The word “therefore”, which occurs so
frequently in “the Bible is a word of reas
oning and indicates a conclusion reached
or a line of action to be followed. There
are /three kinds of logic—mental or for-
physical or material, and moral or
spiritual logic. The .first is the process
by which mental conclusions are reach
ed ; the second is the kind used in the
practical affairs of life: and the third
is indicated by the words, “Thou ought
est therefore,” and is based upon respon
sibility to God.
While all kinds of logic are disre
garded, it is the violation of the moral
and spiritual that is so alarming and ap
palling. Men everywhere are violating
the principles of morality, sobriety and
spiritual wellbeing. And yet it is not
their judgment that is at fault, rather
men know the better and do the opposite,
jor neither. Many people do as they
please rather than as they ought, ignor
ing the demands of duty and following
their inclinations.
Every man has his convictions. The
man. who burieiUtbis one talent had his,
though they were uot true. He said he
knew that iris master was “au hard man.”

THE CONCORD* TIMES
bjut instead of acting in accordance with
that eoniiction by doing his best to
meet the demands upon him, he simply
buried his talent and did nothing. On
his own premises he ought to have used
the talent to the greatest possible ad
vantage. Some men think of God as
stern and exacting. For thirty-six years
John Wesley thought of God in that way,
and during that time he lived the life of
a slave, hoping that his toil would win
him a place in heaven at la#t. When he
learned that people are saved by faith,
he wortoed, just as hard us before, but his
|motive was gratitude and love instead of
fear. The aspects of the sternness of
Sinai and the gentleness of Calvary are
both presented in God's revelation of
Himself, and some see one atul some the
other, while some see both.
However much people may differ in
their convictions on many things, there
is a .general agreement upon the fact
that a great contest is going on botweeu
good and evil, and moral consistency de
mands that each man put himself upon
the side of good.
This is the only consistent thing to do,
and every man who fails to do it finds
himself tangled in inconsistencies, like
she one talented man. who attempted to
excuse himself, or speechless, like the
man who did not have on the wedding
garment. And the tragedy is that when
a man misses this moral anti spiritual
consistency he misses all, for the success
of life is made up on conscientious choice
and earnest action. How pitiful it is
thafj so many people simply dream and
drift, drift and dream, until they go over
the falls and down the cataract and on
out into eternity. Before men scarcely
realize it. life is over, the record is
made, and the books are closed and sent
on to the judgment. When there is no
sowing there can be no reaping. When
there isr no labor there can be no re
ward, where there is no cross, there is
no crown.
