Tuesday evening. Doctor Lingle spoke on ''-What It Means to Be a Christian."- Last evening his subject was, The. First Step Toward the Christian Life", and the Scripture lesson the 15th chapter of Luke, 11 some one, said Doctor JUngie, wtre. to say he wanted to be a Chris tion could we even' tell him4he first step-f ... I hope there is such a person here and that I shall have the privil ege of telling him what the first step is. I have no text tor the evening, but shall take this topic, "The First Step Toward the Christian Life " and shall draw from Scriptures at various jPoints. : a Repeating t'lie question, What is the first, step toward the Christian lifet Doctor Lingle declared that, after searching the Scriptures, lie would say, repentance. Turning to the Bible he drew" from the 'sayings of the great Bible preachers showing how they enu phasized repentance first. John, he de clared, came forth, a forerunner of Jesus, crying "Repent ye, the king dom of heaven is at band." Jesus also preached repentance, it being the first step he urged people to take. " Paul( the great missionary, preached repent ance, and Peter; addressing the great multitude af Pentecost, beseeched them to repent and be baptised. Study the great'evangelical movements and min isters and repentance is the keynote. It marked the sermons of many ot the great preachers Whitfield, Wes ley, Spurgeon and Moody. Speaking of the. popular idea of re pentance as sorrow Doctor Lingle de nned the meaning or the word, going back to its derivities and explaining that from the Greek., and" Hebrew towns the meaning, of. a. change of mind is found. And a change of mind, change of attitude toward sin and change of heart are what, is meant bv repentance. When Paul said, "I preach repentance toward God," he was preaching a change of mind. Esau had a change of mind when he sought his father's blessing and so did Saul of Tarsus, who on his way to Damas cus, with a bitter hatred toward Cbri- ns'i'iiaheart.apA.L persecute inemr cnangea ms nuna. to ward, am.-. A change of mind, tne speaker further illustrated, caused the prodigal son to turn h-.s lace back home and seek the bouse of his father. Here Doctor Linzle asked his faear- ers-if they needed to repent, needed a change of mind, a change of attU tnde toward sin. f He spoke of manner of weighing life, illustrating by telling of Belshazzar's. being weighed i& the balances and found wanting. He then took up the ten commandments and presented them as balances by which lives might be weighed and adjusted; urging hia, hearers With unusual force to adjust their minds and hearts and attitudes to conform to the Chris tian life as presented and taught in the commandments. ' Repentance, Doctor Lingle said in conclusion, cannot be . attained ' by sheer force but must eome by meditat- injr upon the goodnes of God. He urg ed his congregation'' to seek repent ance in this manner and declared that if there was ji .mighty crying out" to God on the part, of the toeople they would find mercy and. repentance and other elements of tha Christian life. Doctor Grier announced that ser vices will be held daily at 10 a. m and? 8. p. m..: . '';' . . Mr. Barrtt. Fraacnss. Yesterdayj Rev. Geo. .V. TiHey re ceived a special i message from the phy sician of Rev. C. JLL Durham, stating that he was ill. and that it would be impossible for bim to -ome to con cord, as was expected.- The meeting being already;,nnderway the ; pastor phoned to ReV, WC. Barrett, pstor of the First Baptist Church in Gas- . . a 1.-1.- .--J-- tonia, ana receivea un imp,. ; Mr. Barrett It one of the strongest and most progressive ministers among the Baptists of tha State, and the First Baptist Church of. Concord is eongratulating itself in securing' him. lie arrived on No. 13 train yesterday, and preached taut night Mr. Barrett is a forceful, clear and practical preacher and gripped his au dience from the start. . AVith a good congregation, of hear ers, Mr. Barrett chose for a text llab. 3:2, "O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of years, in the midst of years make known in wrath remember mer cy." The theme of the discourse was a "Revival."' He said in part: . 'We are. here to have a revival and it is. important to know what we want and what iwe expect What do we wantior ourselves and for otherut Do we expect anything definite t Joshua said 'As for me and my house twe will serve the Lord.' So important to know what we want. "We sometimes say that we are to have a revival, when it is nothing but service. ' A revival is for two purposes: First, to help Christians. This is tbe primary aim. Jesus said that he came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly. Christians like plant grow. We need refreshing showers from the presence of the Lord. "The backslider needs to be revived. There are those who are weaker and smaller than formerly, There are those who have gone down stream. Then we have the sleeping Chris tians. . It is a state of indifference to spiritual things. There is a great dif- erence in working and working en thusiastically. The second object of revival is the salvation of the lost. We want to get souls that have been torn up and taken out of the nature of God, and plant them in Christ." Mr. Barrett then discussed in a striking manner some things that op pose us in this work. He showed that many were so engrossed with the cares of this world that they could scarcely 'find time for church attend ance, and are so exhausted w hen they come that they sleep; and that some would sit and revolve business plans and cares in their minds during hour of worship. --. - : He told now our 'past sma will stare us in the" false- dutf jja t( meeMng; and that Satan makes us believe our sins are small committed, but they room large' when We undertake something for the Lord. . The minister said : " The devil will offer to make a compromise with our Savior during the temptation. He makes terns with us to expect but little.'.' Here he showed that we need faith to succeed. Faith in self, each other and God. We must learn how to pray for ourselves and others. He showed how we must work, "God honores our efforts. I do not know whyt" At 9 o'clock this morning a ser vice was held, attended by quite a number of earnest people. Tbe min ister discussecr the theme, "Witness ing for Jesus." it was instructive and inspiring. Services, it was announced, will be " held dally at, 9 a. m. and p. m. THE COLONEL. . WOULD SPEAK. Will Go to Chicago if Republican Convention Desires Him to A dress It. - . " (Br Tbe Associate Praa) Cyster Bay, June 8. Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt will go to Chicago if "the Republican convention desires him to address it." This he announc ed today in reply to an invitation re ceived last night from Senator Jack 8onr of Maryland, asking him to come to Chicago. .Oyster -Bay, June 8. The Colonel declared in his answer that he hoped both the Republicans and the Progres sives would nominate a "man who, if elected, placed this nation where it belonss by making it true to itself and therefore true to all mankind." President Wilson, he said had rendered to this-people the most evil Service that can be rendered to a treat democracy." He declared that the differences that have divided not merely Repub licans and Progressives, but good Americans of all shades of political behef sink into nothing when com pared with the issues now demanding decision. The issues unified Amen- canism and national preparedness. Colonel Roosevelt further declared that in the face of the awful world cataclysm this nation baa stood su pine and helpless and that "no ex cuse now is made. by those respond bla for. this inaction is entitled to se rious consideration. It is for yon and vonr associates to . show ; tbe people that they have a worthy alternative to which to turn." .- "Can we not," he asked, "forget ting tho past differences; now join for afety and honor of our, country to en force the policy or genuine1 American ism and genuine preparedness."

Try to Meet Progressive Sentiment The Aaeaelatet rreas) Chicago, June 8. As political lead ers gathered for the second day 's ses sion of Republican and . Progressive conventions it became more and more apparent today that there would be two tickets in the field. Victor Mur- dock, chairman of the Progressive National Committee, summed up the situation when he said today : "Well, we left the door open, and the Republicans don 't seem to be com ing in. " That was the Progressive leader's reply to inquiries as to whether there remained any prospect for harmony and whether there was likely to be appointed today conference commit tees, representatives of both parties, to reecive end pass upon peace sug gestions. Republican leaders, too, dis- counted the peace talk, saying that action had been delayed for so long that a majority of the Republican delegates already have decided to pro- , ceed without regard for any third par ty and nominate Justice Hughes, to whom the most support has.been gath ered There are some among the Pro gressive and among Roosevelt Repub-" . licans who still believe' that the Col-' one! himself could , save the day if . he would come" to Chicago. " : Word ?f ' came from- Oyster Bay, ' however, that Cofe'Roosevetf had reeeivedt t, telegram Jrom the Republican Nation-' r' al Committeeman Jackson, ef Mary land, sent yesterday, urging him" to come here in the interest of harmony. While the Colonel announced it was not his present fctention to accept the nvitation ; that he would make a re ply later, but did not indicate what it would be. - The Republican nomination for President will probably be made to morrow but it is not expected the convention will adjourn before Sat urday. Ostensibly the convent-on will remain to give more deliberation than usnal for nomination for second place but the real purpose, it is be- , . lieved, is to avoid adjournment be fore the Progressive convention had acted. " . The Progressive convention proba bly will not adjourn 'until Saturday. There were only -a few honrsC work to day and that devoted to platform making.' - i ' . . . -i- M . i'.vi; The Progressives are confident that ' : on Saturday they iwill name as their ticket Roosevelt and Johnson,' their ' ' standard bearers of f 6ur years ago. .-' Sub-Committee Rejects Equal Buff. rage Flank.
