The Dykes Brothers Of Lebanon

A Crowded House Hears Clean
Sunday Sermon.

Lebanon, Dec. 10.-Among the 600 or
more converts in the great Beiderwolf
religious revival meetings recently
closed in Smith Center the Dykes, Of
Lebanon, are among the conversions.
DR.. John B. Dykes is the present chair
man of the Smith county Republican
central committee. He will also be re-
membered in 1900 when he made his
famous campaign for congress against
Congressman Reeder, on the Populist
ticket. His brother, DR.. Henry A
Dykes, will also be remembered. he
having been secretary of the state
board of health during the days of Pop
ulism. Since the election in 1900 the
Dykes have affiliated with the Repub-
licans, and are now and have been
been working energetically for the sue
cess of the party. For many years the
Dykes have been prominent physicians
and surgeons of this section of the
state. To show his good will toward
his fellow man, and that he was earn
est in his recent conversion, he was
called on to fill the pulpit of the Meth
odist church Sunday morning, which he
accepted with great satisfaction. The
church was filed, there being num-
bers present who seldom enter house
of worship. Mr.. Dykes chose for his
subject: Are You for Christ or Against
Him?" Among other things, Mr.. Dykes
said: II have attended the social club
where the devil was chairman of every
meeting. and frequently two or three
men had the floor at the same time"
Farther on in his pleasing discourse,
he said: ANY man with the love of
God in his heart can overcome the
temptations of all the evil spirits that
ever entered into the souls of man."
DR.. Dykes closed his entertaining adj
dress as follows:
Two men built houses. One built
upon a rock. The other built upon the
sand. The rock was Christ. The sand
was the temptations of the devil
And when the rain of iniquity descend
ed, and the floods of evil and unbelief
came, and the winds of abomination
and idolatry blew and beat upon the
houses, the one built upon the rock fell
not. But the one built upon the sand
fell and great was the fall Of it, And
so 1t will be in the end with every man
and all the nations that forget God"

shame and your future is assur-

Come on, said the youth, with
fine evasion of the speech; your
wife must be awfully distressed
by this time.
They aseended the stairs, and
Hemming raped smartly on
the door.
Who's there? shouted Colts

Hemming. I've just seen Mr.
Spine, and there's an urgent
message.
There was the sound of a strug-

I'm here by a trick, and this man
would drug me.
But it was not Hemming who
responded. With a shout, ! am

himself against the door;the lock

and her assailant, rocking to and

most equal just then-for Maggie
had locked tencious arms around
Cotiswode, who was painting
with the unusual exertion OF
crushing her waist with one
great hand while to work the
other round to his hip pocket. On
the floor laysthe broken choloro-
form bottle and a silk bandanna.
Meredith rushed and struck
once, fercely and surely, at
Cotiswode's chin. The fellow s
hands fell, and he dropped from

I'll 60 for the police, said Hem

Shortly afterward the steady
tramp of feet on the staircase cut
short Meredith's tender minis

swiftly into the room, followed
by an inspector and two police
men.
Things have been fairly well
explained to me on the way, Mr..
Meredith, said the inspector.
There's carriage below, and if
we go straight to station, your
good lady will have the best and
