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

Wagner also sang a splendid solo at
