Lat Night's Senlcct at tlio Rink
Largely Attended "Sin; It Effwt
and Cure" Is the Subject for the He-
vlvaliHt'8 Dlstiouwe -Review of the
Addnws as Given Latt Evening
nuHincs Men's Meeting Tonight.
For a long time In La Orande God'i
people have occupied the conservative
attitude and delight In "hand-picked1
fruit which Is always good. His Sa
tanic majesty's kingdom has not been
largely disturbed, however, by this
process. But conditions have changed
Under,' the valiant leadership of a
commanding and inspiring man of God
Satan' kingdom has been Invaded,
his right to rule has been challenged
and many are passing -over from the
kingdom of darkness Into th Hndrtw
of light and Satan howls. He has
been hit hard and the flow of opposi
tion to his Infamous rule Is fast be
coming a consuming fire.
Last night the rink was well filled
early and the meeting Was a most ex
cellent one. Mr. Haudenschleld spoke
with a prophet's unction on "Sin; Its
Effect and Cure." The Scriptures
used were-two, "All Have Sinned" and
"If we confess our sins He Is faithful
and Just to forgive us our sins and
cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
He said In part:
"All are In sin, shut up In hopeless
guilt, but all may be saved by penitent
confession and forsaking of sin. Sin ,
is the great enemy of the Individual
home, of the state, of the nation."
These utterances were Illustrated" and
enforced. Sin may be dealt with In
three ways: First, the world deals with
?ln In a hearties.? manner. A Judas
iiangs himself. The accusers would
tone the unfortunate woman taken In
'ier sin. But these stand by this at
titude, where they can never be for
given. Then the law deals with sin,
ind says: "The bouI that slnaeth It
ihall die." The law Is a shrewd detec
'or, pursuing In hot haste to bring a
lust condemnation on the sinner.
But God forgives sin when It Is con
fessed and forsaken And forgiven, It
's boltted out, covered over and for
totten and the sinner Is dealt with as
'hough he had never sinned. These
Treat facts of gospel truth were so
forcibly discussed and illustrated that
trnog men and women wept and
-nany came boldly to declare them
jlves on the side of Christ and right
eousness. So the good work goes on
vlth ever-Increasing power.
At 3 this afternoon a mots delight-
'ul meeting and strengthening service
.vas held In the First Baptist church.
tere "Hindrances to Prayer" Is beliiR
llscussid In a series of able discourses.
ronlght the meeting will bo of deep
nd pungent Interest to business peo
de of the city. Mr. Haudenschleld
vill discuss the question, "Will It
?ay?" Men of the city, Satan Is a
'.ard master. His wages are death anC
loom. But "acres of diamonds" He
it your feet; rich treasures had for
he gathering. Don't, fail to hear thli
"nessage. ' -
