This ehurth has been holding a tiy suc cessful week ot piayei. The meetings will be continued evciy night tills week but Satin day. Rev. V P.

Tho seimon was a piactical dlsiouiso in peifect haiinonv with tho special sei lces which aie, being held The sub ject was this. "Haw to Hecome n Clnls tl.m " The text announctd was Atts 2 37-3s: "Now when they heaid this they weie pilcked In theli heait, nnd salil nto Petei and to tho lest of the npos tlts, men and biethien, what shall we do? "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptl?ttl eveiy one of jou lu the name of .Itsus Chi 1st for tho i emis sion of sins, and o slmll leeelve the gift of the Holy Ohost." Among othei things that the picddi ci said were the following: List Sundnv night we began a sciles of inni'titdl talks conttining the Chtls tlan life, l'oi tlie bun Ut ot those who weio not pit sent we will say our sub ject at that time was "What Is d Clnls tlin'" Tonight wo want to call rim at tention to a subject which logic illy fol lows. II. not enough that jou be shown what a Clulslian Is Nclthei Is It enough to impiess the mind with the fact that oils ought to be a Cliiistlan. It is Incum bent uiion the lellgiuus teachei to show the method of salvation, to show how out Is to lJptome a Cliiistlan. SIMPLH AND SCRIPTURAL. I deslie to make tho subject s-0 clear that the waifailng man, though a fool, will not en tlieieln. All oits of answeis have been given to the iuet, How to be come a ChiNtlan'' Some aio simply hu man opinions Otheis. are composlto In their nutuie A combination of human opinion and the woitl of God. My seimon tonight will have one htue at least; It will be Scilptuial In Its charade! . Our text sheds much light on the ques tion btforo us, jet we will not fetl our selves obliged to adhero to that. Tho question and answei of our text is con nected with the scene ot which we studied in Stindn school todav Aftti the won derful outpoutlng of the Holy Ghost on J tho day ol Pentecost, the people mai velled. Some btgan to criticise. Some said these men are tilled with new wine. Petei indlgnantlj dtmled the tharge. He shows them it is slmplj n fulfillment of piophecj utteied m.inv cmtuiies befoie Then he pi cached unto them Jesus and the lesurrcttlon. As a itsult, they were pitched in the henit and asked the ques tion of m ttxt. This seimon is designed to be hely' ' t least two cl isses of HDV. WILLIAM: HDOAIt. people. Pirst, to Chilstiit vvoikeis. They are otteu uhked, just as Paul was b) tlie Phllllpplan Jallu, "Whit must I do to le saved?" The) ought to be able to answei promptly and scilpttually. I tiust this seimon will help them 10 do so. Thin it is d" signed to be helpful to the uneonv cited. By it the) can learn just what Is lequlied of them In older to ei. tei the kingdom of God. Whin wo come to a definite answer to tho question under consldt i.ition, wo can not givo it in a single woul Theie aie -evoial steps b) which we enter the king dom of God and Income ChiUtlans. Wo become Chiistlans b) lepentnnce. rteptnftnce is godl) sonow foi sin. The Ulble ftenuently rofeis to lepeutanee Sometimes it is poken of independent!) At other times In conjunction with othn duties. "Repeat and be Inptled," "He pent and be conveitcd," "Iteiient and be. llevo the gospel" One cannot build .1 superstiuctuie of Christian clianutei without lepeutanee as one of the founda tion stones It makes no dirfeieiue whethei we live in Cliiistlan lands oi heathen lountilis. Tho ellect of gospel pleaching is to piodutu itpentanco In the heaits ot humanity. Tiin si:niors onsTitucTioN. Ono tioublo with somo professing Chiistlans is light here They nevei o pciicnced godly soi low for slu, Theiefoio they do not hate sin nnd turn aw a) fiom It We becomo Chiistlans In projer. God will not forto salvation on uny of us He will tell us how Intciested He is in us Ho will evidence his love tow aid us, but that is as fai as Ho will go Ho will not foito us to bo Chiistlans Wo must ask In oidei to itcelve, wo must seek In oidu to Und, wo must knock at tlio dooi of mere) in oidei to elite! the kingdom of God.

He Is the mastet of eveiy uneonv ei ted soul. This Is lecognUed In adult baptism, when preaehers usK candlilntcs foi bap tism, "Wilt thou t enounce the devil nnd his walks," etc, Jesus tells us no inuu tan seivo two masters Ho will either hate tho ono and lovo the othei, oi cling to tho one and desplso the other. Tho prodigal i enounced his foimei mas ter and left tho far countiy. In this wu) only was It possible for him to enjoy Ills fathers favoi Put It Is not enought to renounce foimei masters. Wo must ac cept u now master. Tho woid of God tells us "it Is not In man to direct his own steps " Tho Apostlo John tells us: "To as many as iccelved Him to them gave He powei to become tho sons of God " Therefoie, If wo would be Clulstluns, wo must also accept Jesus Chi 1st as our nev muster. Jesus wants to bo our master. Ho tells us He w unts to be admitted to the human heart. "Uehold, I stand at tho door and knock; if any man will open tho door, I W ., ' vxv. will come In cud sup with him and ho with me." The piophet long yents befoie tho ad vent of Jesus declined: "The government shall be upon His shotildetB." The lust step to which I will call jour utttutlou Is this: We becomo Clulstlins by moral tians foiniutlon. Up to thin point all we have said litis had iefeience to tho hum in side of the subject, Them Is another side TliDie Is a ptrt we cannot do foi otu selvei. u can upiiit: we can pru j we tan l enounce fotmcr masters: we can ac cept Jimis Chlrst.
