GREAT GOMMJINITY AWAKENING

DR. JOHN W.  HAM
Eveiry church in Bellwood is receiving a spiritual uplift from the
great revival meetings now in progress in the Logan Valley Baptist
church. Everybody to praising the-)
evangelistic methods of Dr. Ham
becaaas they took the sensational
and excitable features of some past
revivals. Probably the greatest day
from a spiritual point of view in the
Logan Valley Baptist church was
last Sunday when 25 people came
to the alter to confess Christ ss
their personal savior and following
that demonstration one hundred
other people come forword to re-
dedicate their lives to their Lord.
Such a revival aa this will be lasting in its effect and Bellwood will
be a better place in which to live.

On last Monday night Dr. Ham
preached cm "The City Four Square'.
So impressive was the sermon that
part of it to printed by request.
Ths evangelist took for hto text
John 14:1-8. He said: Our hope at
thia hour to to so stir your soul that
you will have a new appreciation of
the "City Four Square" aad have a
determination to prepare for your
eternl residence there. If some of
psa swain* spend one tenth of the
tsheaa_|	
preparing to live ' doe* here you
weald not be afraid of the thought
of death, because you would have a
mansion over there. There are four
persons in the new Testament qualified to speak with authority upon
tiie fact that heaven to a palace.
The first is Jesus who Said: "In My
Fsthers House sre many mansions."
He carried about with him a consciousness of the reality of heaven as
a place. Stephen saw Jesus stand-
lag on the right hand of Clod. The
Apostle Paul who cannot be accused of being insane ssid he was
caught up into paradise and heard
unspeakable words which it to not
lawful for man to utter, and John
speaks with equal directness saying
"I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem coming down from God out of
heaven prepared as a bride adorned
teP her husband. When I am asked
where heaven is I answer "Straight
up". Its streets are of transparent
gold, the foundation of the walls are
twelve jewels; the walls are high
and made of Jasper; the four gates
are pannels of pearl. The city is illuminated by Christ himself, therefore no need of sun or moon. Heaven is a place of intense intellectual activity and music. Mozart,
Beethoven, Wagner and Lizst will
join the beginners class in heavenly
melody. All through Revelations
you are introduced to the celestial
choir singing grand oratories of
redemption. Heaven will be free
from trouble and grinding nerve-
racking, fatiguing toil. Unquestionably we shall know each Other
there. There are three lines of proof
that meets this universal question.
First the law of commonsense. Your
commonsense assures you that you
will at least posess in heaven all the
intelligence you bad in this world.
Second, the law if inference, and
third the law of direct testimony.
On the mount of transfiguraion
Elisha and Moses were recognized
when they arrived from heaven although they had been in heaven
hundreds of years. John on Patmos
recognized certain officials M heaven seated on twenty-four thrones
as being elders of Israel. That loved one you have loved and lost
awhile will greet you in the resurrection mom, clothed' upon with an
immortal body. It will beer no wrinkles; it will bs subject to no disease;
tear ducts will be unknown in that

Chamber of Commerce tells ua that
new money coming into a community changes hands, twenty times before it leaves that community. Hidden money cannot change hands,
and there was plenty of hidden

bank deposits was the remedy, aided by other agencies which has
