BRUNER DREW BIG CONGREGATIONS SUNDAY Talked To Women At Service Sunday Evening Has Plan ned Service For Men Tues day Evening. Tho services at the First Baptist church yesterday drew largo congroga Hons and Lr. Weston Bruner preached two excellent sermons. Ho talked to tho women of the oongregation yesterday afternoon from tho subject, . ' ' Two Women and Two Girls,'-' und has planned a service ior men luesaay evening. There were 22 additions to tho church yesterday by profession, by letter and thoso who camo under the watch care ot tho church. At the morning service Dr. Bruner took for his subject "What Would Jesus Do Today," using tho following scripture fls a basis for his sermon : ' ' For hereunto weru ye also called, for Christ also suf fered' for you, setting you an example that ye should also follow in his steps." Dr Bruner declared that if Cunst wore preaching hero today he would direct a large part of his work to those who at tend no church and he took occasion to pay a high compliment to the work of the (Salvation Army, its history and Gen eral Booth, tho founder. Jesus, ho said, would insint that every church member join tho church of his faith nearest him and there work for the Master's king. dom. Ho would insist that every church member settle the question of 'pleasure and amusement and tho methods of ma ing his money, , The) h ought t wttle in the same manner Christ .would settle them if Ho enure to tarth 'fodiij-. Theii ame the rpiestion.

Monday and TiiB.lay nights snd stay away from prayer meeting Wednesday night!" Jesus, said the speaker, would give Himself and of Ills means freely for tho extension of the Kingdom and His fol. lowcrstoda.y cannot afford to do other wise. At the evening service he spoke on the Tragedy of Sin, taking as his text, "The Wage, of Sin Is Death the Gift of God Is Kterual Life." It was an eloquent appeal to men and' women to turn away from sin, which kill wliat is best in man and destroys his influence for good. Hs held up to his congregation the life which iH real and which makes for man's su preme happiness on earth and his eternal welfare.. Man should not allow himself to bceome accustomed to sin in his own life, for in this manner his nature be comes an easy prey to its baneful influ ences. I'sing an alarm clock as a com parison, he said if the sleeper wakes and then goes back to sleep for only a few mornings, he will cease to hear his clock. This is typical of sin's effect upon tlx. conscience. J)r.

Dr. Hriiner said that he believed that God jK-rmits sorrows, trials and tribulations to come into our lives locause He loves us, for whom He lovcth He diasteneth.
