"SHE HATH DONE
WHAT SHE COULD
REV. RARRETT's SUBJECT AT FL.
DON REVIVAL TUESDAY NIGHT
-TENT WAS CROWDED.

Eldon, June A large audience
gathered at the big tent last evening.

TIL o'clock followed by prayer by
Rev. Stiles, Luke xiv: s, was used as a
text, "She hath done what she could"
Rev. Barrett said
This Is our Savior's most loving
words recorded. Sweeter words from
him is not known by me. It was said
when Jesus was in the home of Simon
the leper only six days before his
crucihxion, Lazuries, MARI and Mar
tina was with him and Mary had paid
SEQ. for box OF ointment Of spick-
mold and poured 1t over Christ and
some murmured at the extravaganza.
But Christ said 1T is WE'LL and told
them that he was soon to be crucif1ed
but they would not believe him. Peter
said, Thou are the Christ, the Son Of
the living God, and Lord, If you are
going to Jerusalem. will go with you
and If there Is q scrap, will help you
and he cut off an ear. He was a fight
err but at last denied Christ. This is
often the case now. I want to have
zeal like Peter. and he is one I want
to see in heaven and ask him some
questions. Still he sold his master
for s12. and Mary's box of ointment
cost $780, Her love never failed.
Mary's Love Mothers Love.
Some Christians would sell their
Master for less than S12. and others
would calculate long about doing as
well as Mary. A Christian who has
Mary's love, has mothers love and
will sacrifice everything for Christ or
her child. It is easy to get people to
do small things. but hard to get them
to do big things. One big thing Is to
stop using tobacco. and there is only
one place in the Bibl, where IL is spok-

filthy STILL

to convert. as the fascination holds her
fast. The woman who repeats gossip
about others to injure Is satan's best

Do Your best and give the best to God.

Was San Francisco Newsboy.
Brother Barrett was newsboy in
San Francisco. He said that his life
up to the time of his-conversion was
void Of good. but since then he thank
ed God, 1t was all given to his service
When he was married he hated the
churches and church people. but his
wife asked him If she could erect a
family altar and he said yes. Every
night she would read chapter then
kneel at his side and pray for his
conversion. He said If more wives
would do the same there would be
more Christian husbands. If they
would live a Christian life right and
have no errors In 1t, they would have
| better husbands. Brother Barrett
studied with Moody and was his secre-
