There 1 Forgiveness that attribute of earth ly happiness and heavenly peace, which all men need and few possess was the subject of Evangelist Robert E, John son's sermon at the big tabernacle last night. He preached the doctrine of turn the other cheek and kill enmity with kindness and the 1500 people who were at tho meeting gave him careful and thought fill attention. . The sermon was one of the most in teresting in its portrayal of human char acter that- the noted evangelist has yet presented here. And the music was es pecially good last evening. The choir sang the liveliest of the blood-stirring revival songs and sang them well. Pro fessor Wagner was at his best in the solo winch closed the service and Miss Willard, of this city, sang Splendid vocal solo also. With the group of local ministers on the platform last night were Rev. J. T. Abbett, former pastor of the Meth odist Church of Albany, who is now Sunday School Secretary of the Ore gon Conference of the; Methodist Church, with headquarters in Portland, and Rev. Geo. C. Rounds, pastor of the Methodist Church at Jefferson. Both of these ministers remained in Albany yesterday especially to attend the tab ernacle meetings and were present both in the afternoon and evening. Rev. Johnson announced last even ing that . he will probably deliver his famous sermon on "The Second Com ing of oar Lord" at tonight's meeting. This sermon has attracted attention throughout the entire Middle West and will probably rank' as one oft the great est sermons ever delivered in Oregon. Rev. Johnson said that the second com ing of Christ is seldom mentioned in churches now notwithstanding that it is mentioned 385 times in the Old Tes tament and 319 times in the New Testa ment. It is a .question of vital import ance, and, he said, Bible students be lieve that Christ's second coming to Asecialmeet ig im progress a, tne tanernacie- mis aiiernoon. miss Marcus is leading it. This special meet ing was the only other service today be sides the big meeting ' tonight. Five bil' meetings are planned for tomorrow. there will be public ser vices at tin -big tabernacle at H o'clock in the morning and at 7:30 in the ev ening with special music. At three o'clock there will be a meeting for men only at the tabernacle and at the same hour a meeting for women only at the Methodist, Episcopal Church and a meeting for girls under the age of 16 years at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Johnson will conduct the men's meeting, while Mrs. Johnson will have' charge of the women's meeting and Miss Shaffer will address the gathering of girls. Rev. Johnson took his text last night from Colossians 3:12-13, "Put on there fore, as the elect of God, holy and be loved, vows of mercy, kindness, hum bleness of mind, long suffcring, fore bearing one another and forgiving one "i V:: i : !. . . ...I.! "A eood manv people here are like the old darkey who lay on his deathbed. His pastor was visiting him and comforting him and asked him if he felt that everything in ins lite was right with tiod and man. He finally confessed that he had an en emy. 'You'll have to forgive him,' said tlve minister. He studied a long time and finally said, 'If I dies I forgive him. But if I get well take care of dat nig ger.' There are plenty of us willing to forgive but we want it to be on that basis." ; "It is God who says to forgive, the speaker says, and furthermore He says that if you do not forgive neither will your Father which is in Heaven for give yourtrespasses. It is hard to for give your enemies, the speaker said, but only in that way can a man secure Di vine forgiveness. A true Christian must do good to all men, he said. The evangelist commented at length on the natural characteristics of peo ple to repeat the bad about other peo ple and forget the good. He spoke of the habit of women to meet in their back-yards to exchange gossip or to rush to the telephone to ask of a friend, "Have you heard the latest?"- They say when they arc peddling the reports that they do not mean harm by them, he said Then why do they tell them? he asked. . . That uconlc want to hear the bad rath er than the good is shown conclusively ny tne newspapers, which print the kind of news people want. "If there would be 500 conversions here tonight," Rev. Johnson said, "vou would probably see a dispatch of 10 h'ties maybe less, carried on the Associated Press. But if one of these ministers would coine up to this platform drunk or would get caught in a poker game, glaring headlines at the top of a column would greet you in every paper you picked up tomorrow from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast." The speaker pleaded with " the audi ence to forgive their enemies, cease to tell the had about others and do all men good. Most of the trouble in churches i; caused' by lack of the spirit of forgive ness, he sairL IVuy troubles arise in a church which blight its growth ari'l kill its influence for good. "The Devil c:m kick up niore'hcil in a church choir than any other place." he f-aid. All such trouble can be healed easily by forgive ness. Rev. Johnson thrive i"cl;n:re afler in svmcc ni ib-y wonders tin spirit of for giveness l:af, accomplished in cliurcb wnrk, in bunne and in politics. The spirit of Jesus Christ' in man is wh.'it prompts forgiveness. Christian' people CHRISTIANITY must get this spirit, must forgive their enemies and then their lives will be such that outsiders will see the result of their good works and be attracted to lead Christian lives, he stated. "If men and women of Albany, Ore gon, will only get this spirit of forgive ness, and will go out and ask their enemies to forgive them; if they will forget their differences and all be friends and help one another to God, in the next 24 hours you wouldn't see an empty bench in this tabernacle. Nothing will do more to interest outsiders here than when they sec the real thing in your lives." 1 "Water as an Emblem of the Spirit" was the subject of Rev. Johnson's ser mon yesterday afternoon.. It was very largely a Bible reading, an explanation of different passages of Scripture, and was enjoyed by a large audience. Miss Shaffer continued her classes on "Personal Work" yesterday afternoon. this being her third lecture. She began V'XTt ,?' J,bti"$?Z to Deal With Those who Have Little or no Concern About Salvation in Jesus Christ," and will continue a Ccussion of this same subject in her nxt lec ture, which will be given next Wednes day afternoon. .' Those who have little or no concern about salvation form the largest class of people with whom the religious work er has to deal, she said. Some people feel that there is no use dealing with such people and that the Christian work er should 'Hot bother with them but it should be a Christian's business when a man has no concern about his own soul to get to work to produce concern. The first step for the religious worker to take in dealing with a person of this class, Miss Shaffer said, is to show him that he is a great sinner before God. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind." That is the first and great commandment. Many people will admit they are sinners, Miss Shaffer stated, but say, "I don't know that I am such a great sinner." They think they arc pretty good in God's sight if they have. never committed murder, or theft, or some gross sin but in failing to keeo the first commandment one com " grcastsin mits the greatest sin. "If wc fail to put God first in everything," the speaker said, "wc are breaking the greatest com mandment. The next step for hc personal work er to take with a man who has no con cern about salvation, Miss Shaffer ad vised, is to show him the awful con sequences of sin. We arc free moral ncrents. she stated, and choose sin and reap death, abandonment from God for eternity into an existence of torment de liberately chosen in the face of warning and lignt. 1 liere is no peace, saun my (jod, to the wicked. 1 Show the awfulncss of unbelief Jesus Christ, is the third step Miss Shaf fer advised her hearers to take as per sonal workers dealing with people who care not for salvation. Few people who are not Christians realize this to be a very great sin, she said, but there is nothing more appalling than unbelief m Jesus Christ. Rev. Johnson and his corps of as sistants visited Albany College yester day forenoon and greeted the students at the chapel assembly. Miss Shaffer 'Character' pl.-.use from the students. Professor Wagner also sang a splendid solo at the chapel exercises.
