ADMISSION IOC AND I5C
"The Meanest Man In Bryan" was
Evangelist Price's subject last night
at the airdomel A great audience was
present to hear the sermon and It
was In many respects the strongest
message yet brought by the evangel-
ist He said the meanest man In
Bryan Is not the murderer nor the
robber nor the libertine nor the
honest skeptic but the man who
acknowledged tbe truth of Christiani-
ty and tbe vital importance of the
church and the fact of God's great
law and love and then deliberately
re tuned to serve God and treats God's
law and God's love with Indifference..
If the man who mistreats hlmseif
and mistreats his best friend is
mean man then how mean Is the man
wIjo refuses to save his own soul and
who turns his back on Jesus Christ?
Me said that God hue never yet
damned a man; men deliberately
damn themselves and God cannot
help It.
At the close of the service there
were a large number of requests for
praye.v
A splendid audience was present
this morning at the 10 o'clock service
and the morning sermon made a deep
impression.
Tonight Mr. Price will speak on the
subject deferred from last Tuesday
night. "What Shall the Twentieth Cen-
tury Man Do With Christ?"
At the service last night it ws
announced that another mass meet-
ing for men would be held on Sunday
afternoon at 3:30.
A mass meeting for women was held
this afternoon at 4.
