Mr. Caviness announced today that there will be ft special service for the various churches in the city next ! Friday night at 8 o’clock. Members cf these churches are asked to attend and sit in a body in quarters ihat will be reserved for them. At Friday night’s sermon, tn« evan gelist said in part-: ‘There are many enemies of the ctoss of Christ, for the weapons of Satan are many and varied. At Corinth it was vice, at Thessalonica ic was religion; at Athens It was philosophy at Ephesus it was luke warmness and at Phiiiipi it was money. “The text we used last night is found in Phil. 3:18. ‘The enemies of the cross of Christ.' “The great enemy of the cross at Corinth, as It is throughout the civ ilized world, was, is, vice- ‘I is re ported commonly among you that there is fornication among you such forncca'ion as it is not so much nam ed among the Gnetiles.’ 1 Cor. 5:1. Corinth was a center of corruption. Political capital of southern Greece, j The Vanity Fair of the century. The London and Paris of the old world, th? New York of the West. It was the residence of t|ie Roman consul. A city proverbial for its debaucheries, abounding in immorality. Having here that awful temple of Aphrodite, sacred to shame were a thousand temples. Corinth, too, was a great commercial center of Arabian Balaism Egyptian Papyrus, Pheoncia,n Dates; Libyian ivory. Babylonian carpets; Sicilian goat’s hair; Lyconian wool and Phrygian slaves; yet despite its gieat commercial activities it was given over to its debauncheries and degradation. “The character of it scitizenship was commercialized, unwarlike, luxur ious and licentious. The town is now called Gortho. It was here that vice fed upon the flower of its youtlp, as it always does in every century; its recruits are picked from among the finest, fairest of our young citizen ship. Vice that robs a nation of its childhood. Vice that robs homes of their hope; vice, ‘the enemy of the cross.’ Vice that flaunts itself in the face of God. "These as natural brute beastts made to be ’taken and desrroyied; speaking evil of things they under stand not, and shall utterly perish in their own corruption, and snail re ceive the reward of the unrighteous, as they that count it pleasure to riot r ii> thej day time.

It was vice that plunged a world into a watery grave. Brought a baptism of fire and brimstone from heaven upon wicked Sodpm. Has sent every na tion guilty thereof to the scrap heap of eternity. It has never been out ward invasion that des'royed the na tions, the empires of the earth, it has always been in'ernal corruption. “Cultured nations like Greece and Rome disobeyed and degraded and corrupted wisdom, the wisdom of sal vation, and while applauding virtue, they practiced vice. One of the most helpful signs of the hour and helps to Christianity is the restlessness, the irttemfty and disgust hown by the modern men of this decade, sickening and in revolt toward things of lust. “Be not deceived, God is not mock ed, whatsoever a, man soweth that shall he also reap, for he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.’ Gal. 5:7-8. “What art thou sowing?, Seed of lasciviousness? Hear the Word of •God. ‘When lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death.’ James 1:15. Put to death that lustful desire as you would a most poisoneous repitle. “Make no provision for the flesh, to do so is fatal. ‘They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh, with the af fections and lusts.’ Gal. 5:24. Come to say, with Paul. ‘I am crucilied with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet riot I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh. “ ‘I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for Me.’ Gal. 2:20. Then you can say, ‘For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.’ Phil 1:21. Christ Jesus be came all in Paul’s life. Remember that those who are enemies of the cross of Christ can never expect to be entered into the gates of glory. That iffr you say, for ‘me to., live is lust;’ then you could never say ‘die is gain’;” . | r—->■— Jean (Starr Untermeyer of New j York, author-ipoet, born at Zanes ville, 0., 47 years ago. r HENDERSON, fN.CJ DAILY DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1933 ———— ll.

BAPTISTS MEET 111 NATIONAL CAPITAL ! Southern Convention Opens Momentous Session Next Friday By WALTER M. GILMORE. Washington, May 13.—‘ On to Wash ington” is the present slogan of thou sands of Southern Baptists who meet in the Washington auditorium here next Friday morning. May 19, in their annual convention. On account of the unprecedented economic conditions, it was suggested some weeks ago that the convention be called off this year or changed to a more cen'ral place of meeting. However, that suggestion met with little favor and the present indications are that there will be a larger attendance this year then there has been since the convention met here in 1920, which was a record breaker. Like the national government and almost every other organization, 'he most serious problem before this ses sion of the convention will be adopt ing some plan for payivjg the denom inational debts and at the same time maintaining the work of the present missionary agencies. It is' thought' that such a plan has been worked out and will be presented to the con vention. Dr. Fred Blown, pastor of the First Baptist church, Knoxville, Tenn. who was elected president of the conven tion a year ago, will not be able to (present because of illness. Dr. M. E. Dodd, Shreveport, La., first vice pi’esi dent, will preside. Dr. J. E. Dillard Birmingham, Ala., is second vice pres ident. The Woman's Missionary Union, auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention, Mrs. W. J. Cox, Mem phis, Tenn., president will meet in Constitution Hall Thursday morning May 18, for their annual session. At the same time the Baptist Brother hood of the South, of which Dr. J. T. Henderson, Knoxvirte, -lenn., is gen eral secretary will hold their annual jpre-convention meeting in the Cal vary Baptist Church. Os peculiar significance will be the joint session of hte Southern and Northern Baptist Conventions on Tues day, May 23. t is understood that this joint session is not looking to ward the union of the two conven tions, but simply to promote good fellowship between the two large bodies of Baptists comprising a mem bership of over 5,500,000. The North ern Baptist Convention will hold its anuual meeting immediately follow ing.
