ual yield. Scores of fields will not
be touched by the harvesters, owing
to the scant quantity of the crop and
the poor quality of the grain. In few
fields will the yield reach twenty bush
els to the acre. In number of coun-
ties the reports show that the straw
has been beaten down by recent rains.

indianapolis, June 25.-Interest con-
tinues undated at the south side un-
ion gospel tent meeting, conducted by
Rev. Milford H. Lyon. at Prospect and
Linden streets. The large tent Is crowd
ed, and the young evangelist holds his
audience with his stirring appeals.
Lodges receive their share OF Lyons
denunciation. According to his view,
their rituals. grips, oaths and pass
words are snares Of the evil one to
catch unwary husbands. The conduct
meetings was characterized as "vile,
filthy and obscene" something from
which all goods husbands should lee
as from the wrath to come.
Lyons Picture OF B.rrabb.s.
Lyons subject was THE Great Elec.
ton" The text was from st. Matthew,
27:17, Pilates inquiry TO the Jewish
mob: Whom will We that release
unto you, Barabbas, or Jesus, who
is called Christi" The sermon dealt
with the power of choice in human
life. Jesus and Barabbas were made
to staEd for the great opposing forces
of good and evil Lyons picture Of
Barabbas was a surprise to most Of
his hearers The evangelist drew on
his imagination and pictured him as
rich, powerful handsome and am
bilious young patrician. with all the
glamour of worldly success and influ-
ence about his person.
His Idea of the Devil.
"Barabbas." said Lyon. lis the Bib
lical representation of Satan. If he
lived now he would be the head of a
great corporation, a Napoleon Of
finance The devil does not wear
horns and hoofs. He makes his ex-
terror as attractive as possible. To
my mind, the typical devil is clad in
dress suit, with shining shirt front
and patent leather shoes. His favorite
scene Of action is on some ball room
floor. where, with insinuating word
and glance. he clasps his leche: Gus
hands about the pure form of some in
nocent girl. Or, not confined to the
masculine gender. the EVIL one looks
forth from the bewitching smile and
suggestive gestures Of some fair charm.
