F. Ham deliver his sermon on B "The Final Judgment." Sunday * night. Not a door of the taber nacle wus there during the ser vice but that was crowded with a group of listener? that stood through the sermon to catch as much an they could of the evan I gellst's message. Not In the his tory of Elizabeth City ha? a speak I er ever addressed such a multi tude. Helping to swell the attendance, ? was a representation of the mem bership of the Shiloh Baptist j Church, the oldest Baptist Church I in North Carolina, which more than 200 strong occupied the re ! served section of the main audi- j I torlum. Interest as well as attendance surpassed all prevloua records.? and when the invitation was given at the close_of_the^8ervlce. the tn :?quiry room whs puctgfl wun a~n\-' ious ones seeking to be pointed to > the way of salvation. It was tft this smaller group that the evan gelist delivered the conclusion of I his meusage. offering a way to es cape from the consequences of sin that await the unredeemed in the day of Judgment. Especially not-1 able Sunday night was the large proportion of young people, es pecially young men, who attended the after-meeting, thus manifest ing the impression made upon th5fiv?yThe effffffeHfttV messape Sunday afternoon's service, wheh the Evangelist spoke on "Heroes and Coward* or Men and Mollycoddles" likewise was a rec i ord breaker in attendance at the! ? day services, and Christian peo ^ were even more visibly'affect ed by this message, which was a ringing challenge to followers of Christ to quit themselves like men and heroes In the Christian war fare, than by that of Sunday night. The report of this mes sage will be given In a subsequent Imuc of this newspaper. Saturday night's sermon on "Filling Sin's Cup" was one of the uiost effective sermons the evan-, geltst has delivered. "Whether you believe In the wrath of (Jod or not." said lu*. "you will feel It." 1 "Crime is rampant today be causc criminals are not punished, and likewise sin Is rampant be cause many of you have been per suaded to believe that God Is not going to punish you." " 'You will not die. go on and eat the fruit,' Satsn told Rve, and the I>evil has never changed his tactics hut has been using the same old arguments every sine?-, and is deceiving many of you just as he deceived Eve. "There Is not a inore dangerous symptom than to be at peace In ?In. "Woe to the wicked when they are not In trouble, neither ar?> they plagued as other men; when pride COmpas>"'th them about aH a elm in and when violence coverrlh them as a garment; when their eyes stand out with fatness snd when ffcev have inore than heart could wish. These sre they whom Cod has set In slippery places and whom he will east down In utter desolation and upon whom he will Wislt complete destruction." 4 Mr. Ham's text Sunday night '^Jjjr his sermon on "The Final Judgment" wan: "It Is appoint ed unto inan once to die. and af ter death the Judgment ." He al so read the following passages of ?crlpture: "But now (God) commandeth all men everywhere to repeht: be cause He hath appointed a dav In which he will Judge the world In righteousness by the Man whom lie hath ordained; whether He hath given asnurance unto all men |n that He hath raised Him from the dead." -Acts 17tS0-?1. "And I saw a great white throne and Him that sat on It. from whose face the earth and the ?heavens fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, ?tand before God; and the hooks were opened; and the dead were Judged out of those things which were written in the books; and they were Judged every man ac cording to their works." -Rev. IT: 11 -13 Between the reading of these texta and the commformi'iil of his sermon the evangelist sang "The Judgment" to a hushed audi >fy*nee. Following la a condensed T luminary of this s?rmon: ^ Certain and tfnavoldable The flrat thing we know about tbrf Judgment la the certainty of |t.
