PAGE ‘TEN. - ~ Emmanuel Baptist Charch “Remarkable attendance featured the three meetings conducted yester- day at the Emmanuel Baptist church by Dr. Ray Palmer, evangelist from Portland, Ore. During the day some 30 people confessed faith publicly. =, Speaking last evening on “Confes- Bion Christ,” ‘the evangelist said in part: #All_men should confess Jesus Christ because God commands it. “As a question of loyalty we should confess Christ. When fore- fgners come to our country we re- quire them to swear allegiance to our flag. We must close our gates for at least five years. Only 57 per Gent of our population are Amert- Gan born. If we continue to receive foreigners at the rate we have been ft will not be long until they will tule this country, and our boasted Uberties will be gone forever. =\"We have a lot of people here now who hate our flag and despise our guyernment. If they refuse to become Americans in the truest sense, I am in favor of sending them back home. “We should confess Jesus Christ Because we owe it to others. ‘Ni liveth to himself and no to himself.’ “A prominent judge in Buffalo, N. ¥., became a Christian in a meeting ¢onducted by Dr. Charles C. Finney. Ne! every lawyer in Buffalo Jed to Christ, through, that ma conversion. “Every lawyer, physician, banker, teacher, merchant, ofl man and judge in Casper should become a Ghristian for the sake of their in- fluence over others. “Young men and women of fine Personality and excellent education, Isaders in bridge parties and ball tooms, ought to come out for Jesus Christ because hundreds would fol- low them into the kingdom. “J am not condemning you be- cause of these things. God forbid that I should be your judge, but oh! there are so many things that are far more worth while in life., We all pass this way but once, let us consecrate our lives to the things that will count in eternity. “We also owe it to the Son of God to confess him as Savior and Lord. When I think of Christ dying for me, paying my debt on Calvary, érying ‘My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?—I say; when I think of all this I wish I could live @ thousand years to preach the ever- Iasiing gospel to the whole world.” Tonight at 8:30 o'clock Dr. Palmer yill preach on “The great white throne and the judgment day,” at * the Emmanuel Baptist - church, Fifteenth and Poplar streets. First Congregational Church. DR. A. J. SULLENS. last Sunday the whole world was asiow with the warmth and opti- mism of Easter with its message of continuity of spiritual life for our loved ones and for ourselves. We emphasized the fact that our as- renee of immortality for curselves SERMON EXCERPTS Contributions from Ministers for Publication Under This Head Are Welcomed; Manuscripts Should Le Typewritten, Not Ba- “ceeding 250 Words and Should Be in This Office Saturday. and for our loved ones is in. pro- portion to our sense of the present reality of spiritual life. This assur- ance comes through the identifica- tion with the thought and purpose orf the God Spirit of the universe as it is revealed to us in Jesus. Can we gather into a few words the fundamental thought and pur- pose of God concerning man? Study- ing the life and the teachings of Jesus, we find this to be the mak- ing of a frien@y world, conscious of a friendly universe with a loving, friendly being active in seeking to create and foster the spirit of good will, The acquiescence of humanity in this supreme purpose of God is seen in the high estimate of those who participated in this effort to make a friendly world. Furthermore, the testimony of men is, that love of God accepted, there comes as a re- sult, love of man. Livingstone loves the negroes, Elizabeth Fry loves the prisoners, Josephine Lowell (loves the poor, Charles Crittenden loves the outcast women, S. H. Hadley loves the drunkard, Jesus loves all men. In most cases it demands a tre- mendous change in. our loves. Far the old methods of life is age-long uprooted. We have been trained to regard exploitation through powers as the proper mode of 'fe, We are 2 People educated to social welfare in the social creeds of self interest, of fighting, and! of property for power to explit. We teach this ‘to our children;and accept it for our- selves. How can we have a’ friend- y world under such methods of lite? But more and more the world is accepting the message of Jesus in theo d in practice. Rotary, Ki- wanfans, Masons, Odd Fellows ‘and all the rest are aiding in Christ's plan of fraternal friendly world. The goal is the Cominance of this spirit In all relations of life, in in- dustry, racial problems, internation- al life, until the dominant thought shall be, not my rights but my du- ties to help ty make the world a friendly world, conscious of the Great Father, God Friend at it heart.” First Presbyterian REV. CHARLES A. WILSON The observance of National Gar- den Week, commended by the pres- ident, and by civic and other organ- izations, fs appropriately set in the time for the planting of seeds, when the winter is past, the flowers ap- pear on the earth, and the time of the singing of birds is come. Though summer sometimes delays, and even retreats before the retiring blasts of winter, it never abdicates. | In our city we have many good reasons for the observance.

Grace African Methodist. REV, T. J. BURWELL. It is. customary that when per- sona ars recelyed into full member- ship in the church that a charge be given ‘them which generally tn- cludes ‘instruction relative to the problems which they may expect to face them; and as to how they may be solved, and what the church ex- pects of them, and finally an ex- hortation to keep hoisted the Christ- ian standard. It should be borne in mind that there is a mutual relation between the church anG the believer, one may expect certain things from the other. Such a custom dates back |}- to the beginning of the Christian, for when Jesus was about to take ‘eave af his disciples he gave them a charge. And’*such was very nec- essary by reason of the very differ- ent environment with which they were surrounded by reason of wil- full choice on their own part. They were not forced to become His dis- ciples, but chose to so become; and thereafter were subjected to’ the hostility. of many of their country- men by 80 becoming. Just as they had formerly left their old lives, and embraced the new falth, thereby facing new problems hitherto un- known; so were they compelled to adjust themselves to the new condl- tions. And in this they needed in- struction, and the very best. So Jesus saw fit to give it to them. And the church ever since in ‘oltawing the example of Jesus, en- bs!

Large attendance gathered for the Junior Epworth League at 3:00 and voted to con- tinue that hour each Sabbath. Some 30 young people gathered for the temporary organization of the se- nior Epworth League at 6:15; elect- ing E. C. Whittenburg, temporary president, Miss Thelma Fleming, first vice-president and Emerson Al- len, secretary. The outstanding hour of the day was at 7:30 o’clock when the bulld- ing was packed for the cantata, ren- dered by the choir of the First Meth- odist church. The special numbers were unusually moving and inspir- ing. It was a most inspiring musi- cal program. Several were received into the church and baptized at the morning hour.
