REVIVAL AT FIRST PBESBTTEIR Attendance Oood Each Night Ah Well As the Increase of Interest—Pastor Was the Only Preacher. The revival services at the First Pres, byterian church are progressing very satisfactory. The attenuance has been good each night, there being more than lhe nlghl before. Tlie Interest has also been Increasing, as shown by the eurneatneas of those attending, and the plana for extending the Influence of the meetings to others. The pastor baa done all the preaching, and with l«»t I nil earnestness he has laid upon Ida members the privilege of winning souls. Upon the unconverted he has laid the serious responsibility of de ciding for or against Christ, and hh* shown the eternal ronaeipienrea hang ing upon thla derision. There have been aoveral professions, and a num ber requesting prayer. Each evening after the service there are groups of men and of women who meet for prayer. These after-meetings have been the source of much power In Ihe meetings. Each one remaining unites In the prayer for the spiritual awakening of Augusta. The musical feature of the service has been one of the most attractive features. Professor Hattie, at much sacrifice to himself, has led the sing ing each evening In order to do this he had to give up several of his classes. He ha* a deep earnest desire to have everyone who sings get a comprehensive grasp of Ihe meaning of the song. To this end he make* them sing slower and softer than Is usually the custom, and the change from the “express-traln-rale" of sing ing Is quite a pleasant one. He has had good numbers In the choir each evening. The services will continue through the week, Ihe pastor preaching at B:L> o'clock each evening. There are no day services, the congregation uniting In the service at St. John's at 12:30 o'clock each day. FINE MEETINGS Al MR. MACEERRIN’S CHURCH Conpregations Have Been Good and the Meetings Have Been a Very Fine Success So Far. Tlie first week of Ihe meetings at Ihe (Jreene Street rvesbylerlan have been very Inters!ln*, mid good congregation* have assembled morning and night. The masterful Interpretation of the word of ihid by the evangelist has greatly de lighted growing congregation* who have uesemblt'd engetly eoch day for the messages. The Itev. D. H. Coman .» u minister of wide experience In evan gelistic work. His method 1* to take the word of God as Us own Interpreter, and his sermons have alKiut them the ring of certainty. As the end of all controversy Is to have the "thus said tlie Lord," there has been a satisfactory feeling about the messages that Uod is speaking through his messenger. The character of the preaching Inst week whs more food for the Christian than utlmonltion to the unconverted, though there have been many evidences of deep thoughtfulness among the un saved The sermons this week wIH seek to bring to decision those who are hesl tatlng. All ft the methods of the evangelist are conservative, seeking to CAiise the Interested ones to act on faith rather than through the agitation of feeling. Sunday morning nt 11:16, l)v. Coman will preach on “The Judgment, Past. Present and Future.” Sunday evenin'! the subject will he “Man.'’ lairge congregations will doubtless hear him on these Important subjects. The ntuslr has been splendid A tem porary platform has been built by the pulpit, and a chorus choir has been or ganised. accompanied by ptano, cornets and violins The singing has been so contagious that the whole congregation has henrtlly Joined In the songs. To day at both sendees the chorus will lead the singing Even’ day this week at 10:30 a. m. and 8:00 r m the evangelist will preach. Every regular member of the congre gatlon Is being urged to attend, and to extend pereonal Invitation to others to eome with Them The newspaper public Is areuslonted to reading rather extravagantly worded Invitations to dif ferent attractions, blit Mr. MacFerrln, the pastor of the church, feels that In alt deliberate sincerity he cun urge the people to come and hear the preaching of the Gospel from this remarkable preacher. Not for eloquence, though this Is not laok'ttg at all, hut to be taught the truth from the word of God Itself are the peoplq Invited to come. Holy Week Services at St. Paul’s Church Monday, April 6.

March 29.—Pas tor llussell preach ed a very Interest ing discourse to day on Holiness His text was: "As He which hath called you Is holy, so he ye holy In all manner of con versation.” (1 Pe ter 1:15.1 He said in part: The Scriptures explicitly declare - - - - J that our greet Creitor made man In Ilia own Image and likeness, and pro nounced His crenture very good. But when aln entered the world, through the disobedience of Father Adam, he was cut off from fellowship with his Creator-ns n part of the penalty of aln. This allenution from God must have been one of man's most grievous trials. He must have hungered and thirsted to draw near to God once more, to have the Divine protection, the Divine love; otherwise he could not hnve been created in the perfect Image of God. Bat as centurleß rolled on Adam’s posterity became more and more de praved and demoralized; the original character-likeness to God became blurred, faint, indistinct So while the desire for God still remains, in eome it is more pronounced than in others Tn some it is so feeble thnt they care little for their Creator and are easily satisfied by the pleasures of the world or by the sensualities of life Many are separated from God through Ignorance, superstition and the doctrine* of demons, as the Bible declares. Misunderstanding our grn clous Creator, they are thus driven away from Him. Whatever of natural Inclination they have had the Adver sary seeks to thwnrt. As St. Paul de clares. "The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not. lest tho light of tbe glorious Gos pel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians 4:4), should scatter the darkness and make known to them the true charac ter of God; and thus they should be drawn to Him. But with some of the race desire for God and righteousness has prevailed above the stupefying Influence of the ■world, the flesh and the Devil. This class are drawn by the natural inclina tion of their minds Godward—desiring to be in harmony with their Creator. While those who were not born of re ligions parents have had a large expe rience with sin and alienation from God. others, born In a measure of Jus tification. have had a measure of fel lowship with God always, as children of believers. This class are in a fa vorable condition to be drawn of God, and to bear His voice speaking peace to them and pointing them to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, the Life. "Lord, Bhow Ut the Father!" As these come to appreciate our Lord’s beautiful character and His loyalty to the Father, and to under stand that He came into the world to die for Adam's sin. their hearts re spond with increasing gratitude to the Redeemer and to the Heavenly Father, whose Plan our Lord was carrying out More and more do they long to draw closer to God, and to be recognized of Him as members of His family. Through the Word the Master In structs them that whoever will walk In His steps shall eventually see God In the fulness of Heavenly glory. Still further study of the Scripture* Informs this class that tbe first step to be taken ts one of faith. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Those who take this step must recognlzF that they are (tin ners, under the Adamic sentence, from which no one can be freed except in God's appointed way—Jesus. Then by faith they must accept Jesus as the Redeemer of Adam and his posterity. They must perceive that His desth on Calvary was a sacrificial one; and thnt the grand outcome of this Ransom sac rtflee will be that the Kingdom of God will be established in the earth for the purpose of uplifting mankind out ot sin and death conditions—hack to the fall image of God in the flesh. The Call of the Gospel Ago. Those who take this first step may know what is the second step; and it they have sufficient faith to take this step, their sins will be forgiven and they will tie granted a new nature This second step Is tfl accept God's in vitation to “present their bodies a liv ing sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Coil, their reasonable service." Those who necepf this Invitation are thus USE HERALD WANT ADS. privileged to aacrihce their all of earth ly time, talent, wpultb. etc. When ibej have eo done, our Lord Impute* to them Individually His merit, and thus makes them holy and acceptable unto God. who Immediately accept* them and be gets them of His Holy Spirit. Thenceforth they nre New Creatures —"old things have passed away and all things become now." They are now counted as member* of His glorious Church. Their sins that nro past are nil cleansed; und the New Creature ban no defilement of Itself. But at taching to the flesh are certain tmper faction*, which from time to time crop out The New Creature is to be prompt to notice those; for the New Creature 1* the new will, which henceforth reg ulate* the mortal body. Apparently some of God's dear peo ple have not realized what n contract they hnve on band. Some are Inclined to lie careless about watching the very things which they have been told to watch. It I* for all the coneecrated to remember that their first obligation is In respect to their own flesh, not that of others. We may give each other valuable suggestions, but tbe re sponsibllity for the body rests with each n* a New Creature. And here we have the task of our Uvea; for in our flesh, as the Apostle says, dwells no perfection. Seme have one degree of imperfection and some another; some are more Imperfect and blemished In one way and others In another. But as the Scriptures continually assure us. there Is none righteous, none perfect, no, not oue. We all come short and need to recognize our shortcomings; and we nre to fight the good fight against them. Th* New Crsatur* In School. Whoever would be of the class to which God has called us must of ne cessity be developed; therefore who ever God has called, accepted and be gotten of the Holy Spirit are In the School of Christ. Then begin tbe les eons which they must learn—they must grow In grace, in knowledge and In love. As the Apostle explains, they must be transformed—be formed over If they nre not thus transformed, they will not be ready for the Kingdom to which they are called. This trans forming Is not a work In the flesh, al though It will affect the flesh to some extent It is the renewing of the mind—their mlmls must become new Thereafter matters are to be decided not according to their preferences, but according to certain principles—justice and love. The New Creatures In Christ have a set of new rules, alto gether different from what they had before they became New Creatures. The world has no such rules and reg ulatlons as those which are applicable to the New Creatures in Christ Ev erythlng done by those who are in the School of Christ must be squared by the Rule of Justice. They dare not do anything that would be unjust to a neighbor, to a brother or to anybody To the full extent of their ability the New Creatures must render justice Many of the Lord's people apparently have not fully realized this fact—that obedience to the rules governing the new nature means absolutely the Gold en Rule on their part toward all oth ers. They must not do to others what they would not have others do to them Because of failure on the part of some to recognize this principle, tho way of the Lord 1* spoken evil ot sometimes. If a Christian falls to pay his debts, or If he is careless as to how he involves himself In debt, it is because this principle of Justice does not stand out prominently enough bfr fore his mind. As an old creature he has perhaps been In the habit of ig noring the lines of Justice and of slid lng along as ho may be able and of leaving others In the lurch. This will not do for the New Creature: for he has come uuder a set of new rules, and no matter how much the old crea ture may seek to shirk, the New Crea ture's duty is to bring tbe body Into subjection and to see that justice rules in every act and word, and so far as possible la every thought. “They Shall All Be Taught of God." To whatever extent the principles of justice control our minds, to that ex tent we have character-likeness to God. Tho cultivation of these princi ples in all our actions and dealings, in all our words and thought*, must be our daily concern. It may be cornpar atively easy to be Just so far as money is concerned, to say, I would pay to the very last penny, and would live on the plainest of food rather than be in debt; but it is not so easy to be thor oughly Just In our words and thoughts The New Creature is to sit in judg ment on every word which his mouth may utter. It is no wonder that St. James says that if any man sin not with his tongue tbe same la a perfect man. The New Creature Is to be on guard that he may be developed along this line, and must thoroughly show the Lord that he has no sympathy with injustice. One must be just in his thoughts be fore be can be properly just in his dealing*. The man who thinks tin justly will act unjustly, in spite or himself; the New Creature must lie disciplined even to the control of his thoughts. He must never think of any one except with an unprejudic ed mind, a calm judgment, seeking to give other* tlie benefit of tbe doubt. If there is any doubt whatever. Addi tionally. he mnst lieed the lord's coun sel that we should exercise great mer cy. and that He would rather have us err In the sense of being too lenient than hnve n.s lie merely Just. But beyond Justice conies love, the very highest of God's attributes. God Is ilist: but lie is I.ove, also, which is higher, lu the sense that it implies something more than mere justice.

"Be Y# Perfeot." This. then, la the Love of God; and the New Creature* In Christ must , have this character-likeness to Ged. We must have love, sympathy, and not merely Justice. There Is nothing of grace In the giving of Justice; any thing les* than Justice is wrong. But the Lord’s people must be more than Just; they are to be kindly affectloued 1 one to another, tender-hearted, forgiv ing one another, even as God fag Christ's sake lias forgiven them. Our Heavenly Father wishes His children to see that quality in His character and to copy IL This Is what Jesus meant when He said, "Be ye perfect even as your Father in Heaven Is per fect” We cannot bring our mortal body to that degree of perfection where every act would be perfect, ev ery word perfect but the mind must be in full sympathy and accord with God and His arrangements, and each must strive to the best of his ability to bring the body Into barmony with God. As the Bible teaches, the Church class are In the School of Christ being taught of God—His workmanship. By Ills providence and His Word ne has been working In us, by our experiences, which He has shaped for us. and by the opportunities which He gives us. All these things are designed by the Lord to bless us and to develop us in His own character-likeness, so that as Jesus said, we may be like unto our Father in Heaven, so that we may be holy, even ns ne is holy—that our In tentions. aims, desires, may be of ex actly the same kind as His own. If. therefore, any one who professes to be a New Creature in Christ has in his heart a feeling of bitterness, envy or strife, let him beware! Such a con dition of heart is dangerous; it is uot j of the Holy Spirit at all. Those who I have such elements of character are not holy as the Heavenly Father is holy. On the contrary, as the Apostle explains, these qualities of character are works of the flesh and of the Devil: and to whatever extent one possesses these, they are the result of the snirit of the flesh and of the Devil at work in the heart. But if, on the contrary, one has holi ness and a fulness of desire to know and to do God’s will as an increasing power in his heart, then he is indeed being sealed of the Holy Spirit of God. The character-likeness of our Father in Heaven Is being impressed upon him. He is more and more coming to see things from God's viewpoint—to see as God sees, to sympathize with the things with which God sympa thizes. to be opposed to the things to which God is opposed. The Grand Climax of Character. Of our Lord Jesus it was written: "Thou lovost righteousness, and batest iniquity: therefore God, Thy. God, hath anointed Thee with the otl of Joy nbove Thy fellows" (Psalm 45:7)- above the angels, above the Church, making Him to be Head over all things to the Church nnd decreeing that all the angels shall worship Him. (Hebrews 1.6-9.) In order to copy Him we must see to what extent He loved righteousness and hated iniquity. He so hated wickedness that in eyery way He avoided injustice, iniquity, un righteousness, sin; and He so loved righteousness that He preferred to die even the death of the cross rather than so resist the will of God. This, then, is the great test of char acter going on with the Lord’s people, and according to these lines God is dealing with them. It is not merely that they are fighting the good fight and trying to accomplish something in their flesh; for the New Creature will never succeed in getting as good con trol of the flesh as he could wish. But what God wishes to see in His people is that their whole hearts are set for righteousness, that they love the right and hate the wrong, and that they are striving to the best of their ability to put down the wrong and to uphold the right, especially in themselves —In their own characters and in their own acta, words and thoughts. So shall they be the children of the Highest; and when our great Redeem er shall examine them for graduation from the School of Christ, He shall be ready to say to each.
