The Revival at Epwortb.
The meeting continues with interest
each night at Epworth and Friday
night's meeting was enjoyed by u
large congregation with numbers of
new faces in the audience. Mr. King
led the song service and sang one of
his favorite solos.' "The Great. Judg
ment." The audience listened atten
tively to this song, nnd Mr. King, per
haps, was at his best. His singing is
regarded as the best ever heard in the
city during any revival ever held here.
He puts his whole soul into his sing
ing, nnd the silence that prevails? dur
ing the rendition of his niiniliers is
evidence that he is appreciated.
Mr. Osborne prefaced his sermon on
Friday night by saying that a most
solemn thought is that man must face
God and give an account of his life
here. All believe that there will be a
judgment when every one must ap
pear to lie judged, and give an account,
of his talyents here. The greatest
days in the history of the world were
when God made the world nnd creat
ed man, when Christ was Inirn. These
were all great days, and In 1014 nt the
lieginnlng of the great world struggle
was another great day. He enumerat
ed the causes thnt brought, sin into
the world, and stated that there was
yet another greater day to come, the
judgment. There would be no appeal
from the just divisions of this court,
it would lie mini, and the greatest ca
lamity that man will hear will be the
awful words "depart from me." Mr.
Osborne made a direct appeal to par
ents to look well nfter the welfare of
the children, as nothing can lie done
nt the judgment, the work must he
done here, and now was the time to be
gin. He pointed out the fact that
there were many things that appeal
to the child which the parent should
protest against, miming some local
places where the welfare of the young
people was being neglected. "The
wages of sin Is death" said the speak
er, and he could never understand why
people would allow the devil to take
charge of themselves and their chil
dren when only death was promised.
On the other hand where life ever
lasting, a home in Heaven, was the
promise of God. He naked the congre-
gallon to make a decision now, and
not lie eternally lost. j
The sermon by Mr. Osborne w-as a
fine effort and highly appreciated by
those present. 'I
There will be no service tonight. To
morrow the regular services will be'
held at U a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Mr.
King will be at both the services to
morrow nnd conduct the singing, and
Bob Benson will be at Jb.e organ.

impressive.
Tlie congregation on Friday night
was the largest that has attended any

the rich man without Christ and the
Infinite riches possessed by the poor
whose, life is hid with Christ in God.
