GIPSY SMITH

DENOUNCES "CROSSLESS CHRISTIANS." Another earnest appeal for acceptance of the truth of Christianity was made by Captain Gipsy Pat Smith to a crowded audience in tho Town Hall last night. / ■'Leaves From a Gipsy's Life" was thei subject of the missioner's address, in the course of which he severely denounced what he described as "Crossless Christians." He criticised those people whose Christianity was such that on the slightest huff they .would leave thp Church, and said that these people caus■ed much harm and were the danger to I Christianity to-day. ( Speaking of his own experiences in a gipsy camp, he said that a gipsy who took his stand for Christ undertook to bear the cross; a man was master of his own environment if he stood in Christ. In vivid language Gipsy Pat told the story of his conversion after having lived some^ of the most impressionable years of his life among gipsies without" any knowledge of Christ and His teaching. He urged his hearers to accept the Christ as their personal Saviour, and thus share with him the great joy and happiness he himself had found as the result of following Jesus of Nazareth To-night, Captain Gipsy Pat 'Smith will speak on "The Sorrows of the Christ."
