and
"Prepare to Meet Thy God."
Reported fot The Sentinel.
Yesterday was another good day in
tho services nt the Star warehouse.
lu the morning Mr. Yeuell gave a talk
to ihe Sunday school, and at 11 a. m.
preached a powerfti sermon on "Th"
Kind of Church Winston Needs." He
showed from a crart the organization,
and character and names worn by the
church in the beginning and made an
appeal for a return to the ancient
standard.
In the afternoon another large
chart showed the five kingdoms; the
kingdom of nnture. that of sin, of
grace, of henven and of woe. He
ihowed forcibly how the evil things
which are made popular affect society.
He said that the saloon, the question
able theatre, the midnight dance, and
iocial gambling degrade, people. But
to remedy these evils the heart must
be gotten right. He then showed how
to get Into the kingdom of grace. A
goodly .number of the ladies present
:ame forward, signifying their Inten
tion of shunning all questionable
things of society.
At night a great audience gathered
and the sermon was on the subject.
"Prepare to 'Meet Thy God." Exam
ples, were given of how the Russians
were prepared trt meet ordinary foes,
but they were not ready to meet the
wily Japs. The evangelist said: Par
ents prepare their children for school,
'heir daughters for marriage, but bet
ter prepare them to meet religious
conditions, to meet your God. I may
know that I urn prepared not by some
feeling, bat as John says, J know that
I have passed from death unto life be
cause I love the brethren. I don't
eare how much religion a man may
have if It does not make him a better
husband, and father, and son. It is
not unreasonable to ask you to pre
pare to meet your God here and: now.
It is no assurance that a man is saved
because he has- a peaceful counten
ance after the undertaker has pre
paid him for burial. He must be
scripturally converted. Come now and
step out for Christ.
At the close of the service Mr. Sax-
ton sang "There is a Green Hill Far
Away." Mrs.. Saxton delighted the
people with her violin solos, repeating
at night "Nearer My God to Thee,

Then Misa lehman and the bevy of

about it the soil, which was to make
it strong and vigorous.
After the song, "Where, oh Where,"
the seniors, all gathered about the
tree and gave the class yell, . ;
"Are we all right? yes you be.t:
Can any one touch us?
Not just yet.
Boom Rah! Boom Rah!

Naught six, naught, all."
The class, followed by the "vast
throng of people, then marched to the
front of the nwiin hall, where iu front
of the beautiful memorial gate the re
mainder of the exercises took place.
Hero Misses Eipanor Fries and Jose
phine Parris, of Hlllsboro, in most ap
