Hertzog Speaks at the
M. E. Church.
With n large audience present,
Ir. J'u ul Henry Tackard, pastor
and radio speaker fronv Texas,
openod an evangelistic campaign in
La Grando yesterday morning at
tho Central Church of Christ. He
was assisted hy I'rof. Claude Neely,
song director, and soloist, who de-
llKhted the cotiKyKation with his
voices. Mrs. Neely is pianist for
tho visitors,
Dr. .Packard's sermon in tho
evening was on the subject 'Amer
ica's Need of a Great Spiritual Uo
vival." based upon- the challenging
statement of Jesus: "Why call ye
mo. Lord, Lord, and do not the
thing vhich I say."
.Dr. Packard said in part: "Wo
,aro hearing a great deal today
about 1 tho failuro of tho church
and men arguo that Christianity i
has had Its day. 1 do not know
what ."j'our opinion may bo but
when ;you'ro talking about Christ
ianity, falling, I am hero to con
tend that this Kaith can no moro
fail than God Almighty can fail.
Churches may fall and the sooner
moro ;of thorn fall tho belter off
Christianity will ho. Tho thing
that's wrong with this old world
tonight Hs I tint Christianity has
never been tried, and nine-tenths
of all tho worlds sorrow and pMn
wpuld all ho orased if wo put Into
practice tho things Jesus told us
to do. Jlo gave us principles to
llvo b' and wo have ignored them.
We have lived as If thero wero no
God and tho World war was Just
ono price wc shall have to pay
unless wo soon como hack to
Christian Ideal. TWo Almericau
homo has no God and you can
talk about modern youth with con
demnation all that you will, I be
lieve youth has done mighty well
considering the example they had.
We have 15,000,000 youn men In
tills country ijetwoeii the ages of
16 and '30. Government statistics
show that 7,000,000 of them in
land church oceusionnly while
8,000,000 tiro never known to dark
en a church door. Anarchy isn't
being kindled in tho underworld of
Chicago and Now York; it's being
kindled in tho American homo and
you parents with your membership
In some church, but asleep on tho
job rfe',iis niOclr respon?tihlT! for
whatever low tide of morality we
lament today. Homo of you have
thought a whole lot moro of fat
tening your hogs and getting them
ready for market than you have
u training your hoy and gelling
him ready to live. You can talk
ibout a revival outside, tho church
all you want but we'll never have
it until you folks Inside tho church
unit using your rellgtom like a
spare ttro ami put it into uany
use."
Dr. Packard will speak tonight
on " The secret, oi a iireai revi
val." Tomorrow night a confer
ence pot luck luncheon will be held
