I ‘ Rev. A. J. Smith preacheda stirring
evangelistic sermon at the East Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church. last night.
:31: subject was “Paul's Sermon toFeIix

preacher, "is the one main religion.

. but unlawful wife, Drusilla. They say:
‘We desire to hear you concerning your
faith in Christ.‘ What a
chance for personal agrandise
meat, what an opportunity for
a display of eloquence. Paul is himself
aprlsoner. A word and he is thrown
tothe lions; a nod, And the fire will
consume him. They ask for entertain-
ment; the gospel has no entertainments.
Dare he preach the truth? Just then
and there Paul broke in upon the scene
like the trump of doom. Fearlessly
' he reasoned with them concerning
righteousness, temperance and judg-
ment. Felix‘s face grew ashy white.
his knees knocked together as trembling
with terror he ordered the apostle to
his prison saying, ‘Go thy way for this
time. when Ihave a convenient season I
will call for thee.’ Man has many
standards. Godhas but one for Samson
and Delilah, for Herod and Salome, for
Felix and Drusilla. The gospel has but
one message, 'Except ye repent, ye shall
likewise perish.‘ "
