MEMORIAL LUTHERAN TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY REVIVALS GROW IN INTEREST
SERMON THEME
ON SPIRITUALISM
Dr. Hawes Will Discuss the
Subject at Market
Square
Spiritualism, which is having an
extensive revival on the battlefields
and in the bereaved homes of the
European nations and which prom
ises to extend to America before
this war is ended, will be discussed
by the pastor at the evening service
at Market Square Presbyterian
Church to-morrow. Is the veil be
tween the living and dead so thin
that it can be pushed aside? This
question among others will be con
sidered. The subject "Spiritual
ism: Present Pay Necromancy." A
Thanksgiving service will be held at
Market Square Thursday morning,
at 11 o'clock. The subject for the
address will be "The Still Small
Voice Above the World-Crash."
A service flag, honoring the men
and women who have gone out from
Market Square in the service of our
country, will be unfurled next Sab- i
bath night. Mrs. Wilbur Harris and
Mrs. John' Henry are preparing an
other patriotic musical program,:
which will be tht; equal of the one
rendered at the time the national ,
flags were presented to the church.
One of Market Square s distinguished
men, now in the service, has been j
invited to deliver the address on this 1
occasion.

CALL FOR DAY OF |
PRAYER SERVICE
Thanksgiving Day to Begin
Weekend of Religious
Programs
The General War-Time Commission
of the Churches, which represents the!
United Protestant forces of America, |
has issued a call to prayer upon the j
reque st of the War Service Conimis- i
sions of the various denominations, 1
"suggesting that Thanksgiving Day j
be deovted to our customary Thanks- [
giving, Friday to penitence and liu- i
miliation, Saturday to supplication, '
Sunday to intercession."
The call, which is signed by Dr.
I.obert K. Speer, chairman, by Bishop !
William Lawrence, vice-chairman, j
and by Dh Frank Mason North, pres
ident of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, states: I
"Our generation confronts the grav- I
est and most solemn issues. Twice
our fathers faced such issues, at the I
beginning of the nation and in the |
tragedy of the Civil War. And no*v j
our tjinc of supreme need and trial j
has come, llow can we meet it ex
cept in guidance and strength of God?j
By our own necessities and by the i
distress and calamity of mankind we
are summoned to prayer. In the name
of the churches we voice this sum
mons to all the people.
"We ask that in our places or
worship and in the seoret prayers of
our hearts, these days be solemnly ob
served that the nation may seek after I
God and find Him. And we suggest;
that not only during these four days
should all the Christian people of our j
land join in this united prayer and
supplication, but also that in our
homes and as far as possible in our
' churches, there should be daily intcr
i cession that we may both know ana
; do God's righteous will, that wrong
may be overthrown among the peo
, pies and in the hearts of men and
( that the prayer of the whole creation
i may be heard, 'Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven." "

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."
