' Church Members Hit.
When he launched into his address
the evangelist directed all his attack
to the "so-called church members"
who have' attended church regularly
but whom he declared had started in
"wrong." ' w ,
"In our cal to ;ct people into the
church we have not sufficiently em
phasized the necessity of a complete
surrender to Jesus. There arc multi
tudes in the church who know noth
ing of this doctrine, therefore they
have started their religion wrong.
"To start off right one must prac
tice just what John and Jesus taught,
repentance. Until they do they will
remain 'wrong' until that time comes
when it will he necessary for them
to make a full surrender and start

There are multitude who see

connect these things with Christ.

aid. with what almost might be
termed righteous indignation. "If I

to make the venture. Following
Christ means self denials and unicl
fish service.
Repentance Is Necessary.
To prove the unpopularity of his
subject throughout the years the
evangelist said, "John preached re

first and last utterances .of Jesus
were calls to repentance and He
was crucified.. It's much easier to

Gipsy Urges Full
Surrender to God

Sayi Eangjit.
Fur hi noonday topic at the
Draudei theater ye.terday. Gipsy
Smith choe repentance, the topic on
which he preached a powerful ter
mon Thursday night to an audience
of more than 5,000.
As in Thurtday night' sermon, he
urged, complete surrender to God
and a turning from sin before a com
plete repentance could be experi
enced. "Repentance is the only way to
get the peace that u everlasting."
the 'evangelist said. "Church mem
ber have a sickly, sentimental re
ligion which they obtained without
an honest rencntance and until they
turn from their selfishness, their re
ligion never will be much more ,than
a word with them."
The story of the prodiual son
who turned from sin to his father
and found peace was one of the
stories' told by -the evangelist to
drive home his point.
Dr.' J. M. Wilson, president of the
Presbyterian seminary, was the first
speaker. He also used repentance
and surrender to God as his topic.
