Strouse of Colmar, Pa., recently called here to the pastor- ate of the First Baptist church, filled the pulpit there at both morning and evening services on Sunday, and at the morning service read his accept- similar teror which he sent the church ance of the call, supplementing a letter of similor tenor which he sent the church before last Sunday. The newly elected pastor stated that he would: come here 80 as to begin his pastorate with the church on the first Sunday in May. May 10th will be the fifth anni- versary of the beginning of his charge at_the church in Colmar. Pastor Strouse has had a missionary experience in two fields, Africa and In- dia, has filled student pastorates while in college and theological seminary, and has had one settled pastorate before coming to_the church here. He grad- uated at Peddie Institute in the class of 1902, and then attended Lafayette college, but left there before gradua- tion to go to the mission field on the west coast of Africa. Here he spent a year. His oldest child, now a boy of 9, was born_in Africa. Upor his re- thrn from Africa, Rev. Mr. Strouse at- tended Crozier Theological seminary, and, graduating there in the fall of 1807, took and passed his exeminations undér the American Board at Bostom, and received an appointment to India: He was at Calcutta and also at Assam, and was stationed at Nowgong, in the shadcw of the Himalayas, but was compelled to abandon the station after a month on account of the health of Mrs. Strouse. Returning to this coun- try, he was called to the pastorate at Colmar, having _another call at the same time to a church in Philadelphia, but preferring the Colmar charge, where he has since been and where his labors have met with marked success. Sunday morning he preached an earnest sermon upon the theme Come West Side Church Welcomes Its Coming Pastor, Rev. George H. Strouse—To Begin Pastorate In May—Rev. Joel B. Slocum of Brooklyn, N.

The Reality of Hell Was the Theme of Rev. J. B. Kelly at St. Patrick's Church. Rev. J. B. Kelly, O. P.. of New Ha- vén was the speaker at the largely at- tended evening vesper service held at | St. Patri church Sunday evening. | The Reality of Hell was his subject, and he spoke in part as follows: From the beginning of time to Jesus | Christ and from the day of Christ to | the present, handed down from age fo age and from generation to generation, | has been the realization of a future place of torment to receive the souls of the damned, and amid all the here- | sies which have assailed the church, she has never been called upon to prove this dogma. If ome does -but read the religious systems of all the pecple of the world for all time, one find in each one a hel! in some form. Punishment Everlasting. The torments of hell are everlasting. According to Christ, on the last day the Mighty Judge of all shall say to ihe evil: ‘Depart from me into ever- lasting fire” The soul consents to wickedness with full knowledge of its evil. The soul tramples knowingly the precious blood of Christ, shed on the cross for this very soul. He is patient with sinners here, reserving punish- ment until the hereafter. God was ter- ribie when he destroved all save Noah and his ark, terrible when he sent down the fire of heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah, but zll this is as nothing to the chastisement reserved for the wicked in the world to come. When the final day comes ihe scales fall from the eyes and the sinner knews his loss and will turn to Him. But it is too late. He refused to rec- ognize His Master in life and meets 1o sympathy in death. One may forget Him in the pleasures of this world, but man is made for God, and without Him life is unbaerahle. What does man re— ceive when he leages God? When the day comes he finds himself rejected by God, burning with a desire which can never be satisfied. His desires are shut up within him; he feels pain of loss and remorse. We must put forth en- ergetic, assiduous effort to save our souls. As the Master said, “Keep My commandments.” They are easy, ‘yet “broad is the way that leadeth to de- struction, snd many. there be that en- fer therein.” They do littfe or nothing for their salvation. They will deplore it forever and ever. Souls racked with remorse will cry “What would it have cost to have kept the commandments and lived a good and virtuous life. Be- hold the cause of my ‘loss. Fool that T am! Had I but done as much for my soul's salvation as I have done for my own damnation!” The one despised by the sinner on earth will be with the saints in heaven while the sinner raves in_hell. Be prudent and provident, and be not numbered among these poor un- fortunates. If thou wilt enter into eternal life, keep the commandments God has given to every man the means of saving his soul. Use them carefully and serupulously: then will you avoid eternal ruin and enter into the life eternal with our Lord. DOUBLE AFFLICTION IN UNCASVILLE FAMILY.
