'5 c-"N to NEED Or EEVTVAL. Subject of ir. Abernethy's 8ennen .. Last Ertsing. - - "The Need of 'a Revival" was tie subject of Mr. Abernethy's sermon at Central Methodist Church last even ing. Preceding the sermon there was the usual 13 minute song nr. lie. Mr. Abernethy read a Scripture ' 'csson from the second chapter of Acta tnd' lue text waa irom tno iwtn ram, oti verse, "Wilt thou not revive us again: that the people may rejoice in theet" Primarily, Mr. Abernethy declared, it was not God's purpose to need a revival. Primarily all children were to be brought up in the' church and be part of the ehuroVa activities. But that' plan was not carried out. Few children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the church. There are many- earnest parents who attempt to onng ineir cmidren up sucn a manner but the children come in con tact with the life of the streets and the public gathering places. And so the church falls short. It is not a spirit-filled church and we need a re vival to brjig these children back into it ' ' Gladstone, jthi speaker declared, when asked what was the world's greatest need, said there waa only one great need and that was "to bring the truth of God's word into vital contact with the lives of all men." And there should be but one greai purpose in this world and that pur pose of a great revival. 1 Declaring that the secular world has long recognized the revival spirit, Mr. Abernethy reviewed the activities of certain secular agencies. The poli tician is a revivalist and the political parties every election year put forth strentnous efforts to arouse interest, act upon the revival principle. Doe tors, lawyers and men of'' other branches of work meet together an nually for study and for the purpose of 'stimulating new thought The man who does not sympathize with the re-. vival.idea is a back nunfber. He is a century behind and is a.consumate idiot, v "' . :' ' ' A need of a revival which the speak er Pa remounted was that to bring to the church pure, and undented relig ion and make the clinrch the' most, powerf uli ihe' et';interesting . and the" moat attractive agency in . the State. ' 3he' time has come, he said, whew we must learn that there Is no new way to he saved. .There has been mifch. written and 'spoken about evolu tion and certain little narrow brained ooings nave maae mucn oi it. dm no one who has given careful study to conditions ever thought -.it ' more than' S mere hypothesis. The funda mentals of life are not and never will be changed. ' The laws of mathematics and chdmistry and logic are what they have always been. ' There ean be no different religion for China, for Ja pan,' for Germany and other nations. There may be many religions but there is "only one that saves. "I am the way, the truth, and. the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but oy me." Manaved ,1,000 years ago was saved in the same way he is saved now, his spirit comes In touch with the Son of God and the resultant meeting is spiritual life. v 1 Another need of a revival, Mr. Ab ernethy said, was to make each church member do his part. There are- al ways a. few in the church Who bear the burdens of the- church and do about 90 per cent of the work. A revival is needed to make every man do his part as if the whole work de pended upon him. He likened the church workers'io ttie veterans of an army and declared that it was neces sary to have;-a revival in order to br ng into the ranks and- train others. -After emphasizing, the need of a religion to, live with, a religion that would Jhelp in every sphere of life, a religion that would translate the Ser mon on the Mount into ' an individ ual's Hfe, a religion that twonld make the en commandments a rule of life, Mr. Abernethy spoke for a co-operat ed. organized church, which, he., said was necessary if C revival' is to be. a success. Other essentials for a suc cessful revival he enumerated as the recognition of a need - f qr one, the desire for "one anil the wUlingness on the part ' pf the church members to pay the priceay the ie4 by per sonal Irorfc.-'-,.' it.it:'v::i'fi,'!

Sir Roger Casement, the leader of the Separatist faction in Ireland, who was captured on the Irish coast while making an attempt te land arms, may be tried for high treason.
