OVER 800 WOMEN
HEARD EVANGELIST WILSON AT
TABERNACLE ON "A WOM-
ANS POWER"
Nine Persons Baptized at the Chris
tan Church by Pastor Percy
Cross.
ADDITIONS TO DATE ARE 6s

Sunday was splendid day at the
tabernacle. although for a while it
looked as if the storm clouds meant
serious business. The morning ser-
mon "The Worlds Greatest Monu-
ment. or the Lords Supper" was
handled we'll and certainly helped the
hearers.
At 5 O'Clock a baptismal service was
held at the church, and after a short
song service, followed by a short talk
by Evangelist Wilson, the pastor, Rev.
Cross. haptised seven young men and
sive service.
Al O'Clock the women meeting took
place, and Evangelist Allen Wilson
delivered his celebrated lecture on "a
Woman's Power" to 800 women. The
singing of that number of women was
worth hearing, persons several blocks
away stopping and listening to it.
Last night at o'clock the largest
crowd of the meeting was out, con-
servative estimate placing the number
at 1000 people. The evangelist was
at his best. His request to the ladies
to remove their hats, unless the hat
and hair were connected caused 81
ripple of laughter throughout the
large crowd. The large chart set forth
the sermon in a very clever way.
Mr. Wilson shows thorough knowl-
dge of the scriptures, as verse after
verse, quotation after quotation fol-
lowed in lightning-like rapidity. 1t
was the best sermon the evangelist
has preached thus far. At the close,
during the invocation, eight more
came and took stand for Christ.
making total of sixty-three additions
in three weeks.
Tonight Evangelist Wilson will
preach on ''The Great Salvation, or
if I Don't Get to Heaven, Who's to
Blame?" Another 1000, charts of last
nights sermon will be on hand tonight
for those who may desire them.
Pastor Cross requested the Graphic
to announce that it was important
that all the members OF the Christian
church be present at the tabernacle
meeting tonight,

as Il man who wears long hair, eye
glasses and an distracted air. Carl
caturists are fond of picturing him in
a seedy frock coat in the act of i'm
portuning a brutal editor or a stage
manager. OF course there are many
of this type left. but. it is said, there
are at least a hundred men in New
York who earn incomes ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 by their own unaid-
ed typewriters. At least New York
is their market. but most of them pre-
fer the suburbs for home. Clyde Fitch.

l AM TIRED
Everybody Is Tired-Spring Wealth
er Does It-Every One Should
Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa
tions, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep. Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied peculiarities. Pc
runa invigorates the system, rejuve-
mates the feelings, restores the normal
appetite and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect OF
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly dis
appears when Peruna is taken. Thous-
ands are daily testifying to it's priceless
benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 W. 18th
street, Des Moines, Ia, writes: 81 am
happy to give my endorsement for your
valuable medicine, Peruna, as 1 consid-
or it valuable medicine to take when
the system is run down from overwork.
About two years ago felt that l must
take long rest as had been unable
to work for over month and could
not regain my strength. I could moi

Gus, high strung, condition. decided
to try what Peruna would do to build
up my strength, and am pleased to say
that I began to improve very shortly
and in less than two months was able
to take up my work, and felt better
than I have for years. I take it now
twice year and find that it keeps me
in perfect health" Mrs. Kassatt was
fol over ten years the manager of &
plant furnishing ladies' wear and en-
ploying hundreds of women.
