Salvation's great stream swept through
the east side at full tide last night.

thronged about Centenary church. In a

Dr. Chapman preached with marvelous
power. He showed the terrible effects
of sin. and' warned his hearers that the
danger was . in ths beginning of wrong

"We are .sinners by nature.-- Chrlet

to Christ V said he. and after ha had
ended aa exposition of the text found
in Job xyiU:l, h, shall be driven from

ths world." Dr. Chapman said; ' .'
"This la a remarkable text. It Is
about a remarkable man. It la found In

trials, all must be familiar, hla loss of
property, and loss of children. 'It Is
when he is in deepest distress that hla

his deadly blow. -

we ought to be a Christian, than came a
longing that this blessing . might be
ours. At last there was a determina
tion to bo saved, and the light, began to
oreaa. - - -
Then It U'that the devU beams ta
anve us zrom in la light. Hs begins la
a quiet way. He meets the Impression
made on us by raising obstacles. He
meets our longings by telling us that we
are free, that real liberty la found out
of the church, not in It. Hs meets our
decision by telling us that It ia right
to become -a Christian, but there Is
time enough, and. when onca we ascent
this conclusion, hs begins to drive us as
bis captives. No foe is so Velentleaa.
no taskmaster so cruel. He uses conscience-
as a whip. He brings .up some
past sins we have almost forgotten. He
comforts us with the statement that we
have waited too long, and, v unless We

of mercy, there will be no hope for us.
