As may be-i.seen front the program
above, Mr. Ham has announced three
sermons of exceptional J interest, ' all
of which carry a special appeal to
those who are interested in their
spiritual welfare The tent undoubted
ly 'will be crowded at all three of the
services. . ; . A ' C ' 'r--
'A ' sermon on the allegiance which
Chriat accepts from his followers was
delivered to a good-sized congrega
tion at the th' tabernacle this morn
ing.; y
The evangelist gave, his -audience
aJhear-to-heart talk from the follow
ing passage of scripture: "Let not sin
therefore reign -in your mortal body,
that" we should obey, it in the lusts
thereof. Neither yield your members
as. instruments Of unrighteousness un
to sin; but yield yourselves unto God
as those that are alive from the dead,
and ; youf members i as- instruments of
righteousness unto God. For sin shall
not have dominion over you."
'''God ''does not accept any service
or offering that does' not come freely
from a prepared person; He rejected
Cain's .offering, because by it Cain
sought' to glorify himself. It was the
fruit of his own skill arid not the type
of Christ's.; redeeming blood. So long
as you church members seek to please
yourselves '.-rather.' than to honor
Christ, all your bridge parti es, danc
ing, theatre-going and other stunts by
whiclr you show your allegianpe to the
world are an abomination' - in His
. sight ' -.' , ,: ' 1 x , ' . ." '.
; "God would not accep.t the worship
of Israel in Egypt; because there they
were under bondage to the Egyptians.
God never had another; thing to do
with Lot after he pitched his tent to-'
wards Bodom. -
,"And you can't blame God for exact
ing just- what you yourself exact. You
are Christ's servant, purchased by His
bipod and you . have surrendered
; yourself to Him and are subject to His
orders. Now suppose you have bought
.'-a- cook's service, hired her to cook for
you only when nobody, else 'wanted
her service? Would you stand for it?
Or take another view; Tour tiie and
tajents belong to Christ, and when He
is calling. for them, yon have no more
right to use them for your own amuse-
mfnt than you have to us the auto
mobile or. the teams of your- neighbor. I

"
Or take still another view: You are
Christ's -bride then how can you
consort with His enemies? For the
Bible says, 'Know ye not that friend
ship, for this world is enmity to God?'
And the apostle calls all such adulter-ersr-r-epiritual
adulterers.. As Christ's
bride we should keep ourselves just as
pure, and chaste-' spiritually as every
wife should keep herself physically.
"Christ never compromises one iota;
and as His ambassador I cannot do so
either. He says if you love father or
mother, or houses or lands better than
you love 'Him, you cannot be His dis- L
ciple. If you want to know how to
treat your rebellious,-- pouting,'' stub
born old church officials,' just consider
how, Christ treated Peter. Jesus just
let him pout till he manifested contri
tion by weeping, bitterly. -
''From the ' time ;. they crossed the
Red Sea the Israelites were a con
tinuous tral to God ; but . He , never
Idid compromise -with them. They
! ---..mea atl(, v-omolained. at .the bit-
jter waters, they growled about, the
manna, they growled at the protracted
absence of Moses at Horeb, they mur
mured at the.-order : to leave Horeb,
they rebelled at Kadesh Barnea, on
the border of the promised land; but
in no' case did God compromise with
them. Every time they rebelled He
slew them; by the thousand, in 'one
way , or another till every last oen of
them sooner, or' later died and rot'ted
in.;the wilderness,, except Joshua and
Caleb, who , never did join in any of
the rebellions or murmurings.
"Now I am sure that "every church
member , who is at fault ' has had the
fault pointed out by the Holy Spirit;
and the only reason every one. of you
have not confessed and come clean is
because you are defying the rebukes
of the Holy Spirit, and you can't make
that go. If your sin is publicly known
and therefore is hindering the salva
tion of others, it must be publicly con
fessed and publicly , abandoned. No
secret confession in such cases will not
have any .merit whatever. God says
"He ihat covereth his sin shall not
prosper." . " ' : j
"No, we cannot afford-to compro
mise with either iin or the sinner. The
only defeat I evet suffered in my pro
hibition campaign in Kentucky was
when I kept silent and winked at
wrong-doing by our side. It was in the
second cmpaign in by home town.
Some of the church members had pur
chased certificates the year before. I
knew of it, but rather than expose
my own following and create division,
I kept my mouth shut, and God sent
defeat on us as He ought to, and I
am glad He did; for I have never for
gotten that lesson.
"When you surrendered yourself to
Christ and accepted in return His sal
vation, , you dedicated all your time,
your talent, your. ability, your powers,
your service to Him; and thereafter
you have no right to barter any of
these to the world, the flesh or the
devil; for they no longer belong to
you. 'You are bought with a prive.'
v "And don't you fool yourself one
minute with the belief that you can
do such things and get away with it
God warns ycu not to think that be
cause judgment is not executed speed
ily you shall escape it altogether. Very
few, like Ananias and Sapphira, have
had judgment swiftly visited upon
them. But though it be slow, it is in
evitable. We are the bondservants of Jesus

Harry Poulin Is Freed
,Of Charge Against Him
r ' ; ' , . (By Associated Press)
(; SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 30. Harry Poulin,
local haberdasher, charged by Mrs. Augusta Tiernan
with being the father of her third child, was found
not guilty in city court here today.
Judge' Ducomb made it plain in his comment that he
found the defendant "not guilty" in the strict sense of the
word. He said he believed there had been intimate relations!
between Mrs. Tiernan and Poulin. The fact, however, that
Professor Tiernan had lived with his wife throughout the
entire affair, created the reasonable doubt that made it
legally compulsory to find for the defendant.
The score, at the end of the first quarter,
between University of North Carolina and
Wake Forest was 21 to 0, in favor of University.
A large crowd was in attendance. Carolina
demonstrated her superiority from the very
start of play and made long gains against her
opponents.
