Since 8nnday night, November 7, 'flypay Smith, Jr., fired with holy zeal for salvation of snuls, has brought to IBaatonia inspiring message fraught : aih lore and warnir. Backed up by ( Sd's 8pirit, manifest in the daily life, i Attractive personality, magnetic voice aud the sincerity and earnestness of the evangelist, these messages have surpassed anything of their nature heard in Gas timi:: - nany a day. With Christian com esy. 'aid and yet with the precision of the master diagnostician and surgeon, Mr. Smith has, with the Gospel torch of his Lord and Master, probed deep into the heart, home and church life of all who have come under the influence of ,'hese messages. There has been no per sonal rirmip or glory manifested in Mr. Smith's meeting. No throngs of hand shakers and emotional resoluters have romped down the aisle and then back to their ine:u'iiess. The messages have gone .'" tte mirfaee and have too deeply stirred his hearers for superficial demon stration. Mr. Smith has not sought mimliers and statistics but has stirred to the innermost depths the souls of incon s's ent church members and sinners alike God has been at work.

GYPSY SMITH'S SERMON. v Continued from page 1) ing three men, and they are the three men from our text, and I want them to stand for the text to the men and women who are present this evening. The first man that comes into the pulpit this even ing is Paul, who stands for the man of God, warning, coaxing, exhorting, plead ing with you to take the right step, and very often you have not been fair to the preachers and priests of Gastonia. They have nothing at stake but your life, and they are anxious that you should not only make the most of your life, but get the best out of life, too. The next man that coiifcs into the pul pit is the captain of the ship, who has been chartered by the Roman govern ment to take Paul with other prisoners to Rome, and is under the direction of the captain of the soldiers. I want him to stand tonight for the man of the world in my audience, the man who says "God has niven me a reason and has given me it to use, and I will not accept anything .that I cannot understand. May I say to you that you are not consistent? You are accepting every day tliiiiK'S that you cam, nt understand. No man under stands the electric light, and he doesn't refuse to step in an elevator, or turn the light out, but he does not under stand. You cannot understand how the food that you eat is all th time develop ing into blood und muscle and forming flesh and bone. You do not understand the seat that you are sitting on. You do not understand how God fathers the dew drop, but you like to see them hang ing in the eyes of the roses on a sum mer's morning, and so you are not con sistent in your tateinents about not ac cepting auythiug that you cannot reason through . The next man that I want to bring into the pulpit is the captain of the guard. He stood between Paul on one side and the captain of the ship on the other, and the power of decision lay with him. He could order Paul to be put in irons and sent down into the 'tween-decks, or he could command the skipper to set sail or remain tied up in dock. I want him to Etand for human will. When you reached the age of activity the first thing that God gave to you was a human will, and ho vested it with im perial rights and said to you "Do not think or study, but choose. " And so you have held and do hold in your own hands the destiny of your own life. Now, I want you to overhear the con versation of these three men. First, Paul says, "If I were you men, I would n't set sail, for I am afraid we are go inir to have a tremendous storm, which will not only endanger the cargo and ship, but also our lives." Ana 1 thin the skipper said something like this "Well, are you going to listen to a land lubber who knows nothing about a ship and the coast to tell you what to dof Why, I have sailed up the Mediterranean as a boy and man until I have become master and owner of my own ship. What does he know about boxing a compass, or setting sail, or reefing, or tacking t What does he know about the trade winds and the cross-currents and the tides of this coastf Are you going to listen to a preacher or a sailorf" And so I read in the sacred look that nevertheless the captain believed the owner of the ship more than those things which were spok en by Paul, and so the order b given to loose the eails. I have sometimes thought 1 can see the j vessel making its way out of the harbor on the blue waters of the Mediterranean, and I have thought that the skipper of the ship turned to the soldier and said, "Now, who's rightl If you had listen ed to Paul, we should have been back in the harbor . Did you ever see a calmer sea than this? Have you ever seen a bluer skyf Did you ever feel a Unr wind over the water than thist" But suddenly the skipper notices a cloud, at first not bigger than a man 's head on the horizon, but his trainings taught him that something unusual is coming, and I read that not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, an r it turned out that ths preacher wis right Why didn't the storm (uue at the be ginning of the voyage f May I turn that around and say, that isn't the devil ' way, for if he showed us the. storm, first he would never get us. But Jte ehowi us calm waters, the blue sky and the toft south winds, and because we think every thing is all right we are fooled. If the devil were 'to show us-the end of tin, rather than the beginning, he would never get us, but he knows how to fascinate and how to paint beautiful pictures, and he never shows the reality and end of siii . The man in the iruttrr onie'h never intended to end up there. His brain was just as dear as yours one day, and ins uiiugaiat ion aud ideals just as high as yours, but he was fascinated by the pic tures that the devil painted for him and now he is down and out.

I am reminded on one oc casion of taking a fishing trip with my fa: her and of the fun that we had catch ing trout, and because he risked one side of the stream and I the other we had be come .separated, aud when we joined each ! other at lunch time I found that I had caught more fish than he had. And he said to me, "Son, how did you do itf And I .'aid, "Well, I had the advantage of you. You were a stranger. Yon didn 't kuow the stream. 1 knew it. For a distance of three miles I knew every hole in it, and I fished the way you taught me when a boy." Sometimes I would crawl on my stomach for thirty or forty feet, dragging my rod by my side, and I knew how timid the trout were. I would peep over into the stream and see one fine fellow balancing him self in the water, and then I would look at my bait and see if the hook was cov ered and then I wouldn't throw it in there, for that would frighten him to death, but I would throw it way up the stream into the rips as far as I could get it and then it would come floating down in the stream, and, thinking it was loose, the fish would take it, and if I was fortunate a few moments later it would lay bleeding and gasping on the bank. , Will you let me say to you that under ever bait that the devil offers you there to his subordinate officer and . says, (Continued on page 3) 1 l i-ts EDWARD THE CONFESSOR Historic Tragic - Drama in five acts 1 BELMONT ABBEY COLLEGE Nov. 24 at 7:30 p. m.
