Salvation Not Mournful Proceeding, Says Dr. Yates "It is not necessary to weep and mourn for several weeks before vour soul can be saved." declared Dr. W. at the Fourth Street .' rcli of God last evening. "That idea is as foolish as though your fa ther were holding a piece of bread and butter to you, a blind and hun gry child, and he asked you to fall on your knees and pray aw'd'e for it. Christ is holding out etc ~al life in his blood-stained hands, nd all you need to do is to reach jut and take it. "God's promises are fixed, un changeable, always positive and sure. I here are no waverings. Salvation has been purchased by Christ iqp every man. woman and child living now, or who will ever live." he con tinued. "Salvation is not for the few but lor the many." Dr. Yates was addressing an au dience at the evangelistic services which are being held in the Fourth Street Church of God. His sermons are forceful and inspiring, and a large congregation was present last night. In illustrating the point that it Is not necessary to go to the mourner's bench. Dr. Yates told of his brother's experience. "While we were working in the cornfield," he said, "my brother decided thatr he would give his heart to God. He had to wait until January to do this Our belief taught us that we would have to wait 'tntil evangelistic meet ings were held. This is not the case. You can be converted at any time and wherever you are." | The Mrs. John * T .
