CAAUTAUQUA TOBE
HELD EACH YEAR.
is PROMISE OF REDPArH LYcEuM
BUREAU IF THE LOCAL PUBLIC
WILL SUPPORT 1T

The Redpath Lyceum Bureau prom
Uses to hold a chautauqua in Ottumwa
every year for five years, giving in this
time. from year to year, lectures and
entertainments the people want and
press themselves, that they may know
what programs would be most suitable
and desired.
They have contracted, as has been
said. thiray towns in Iowa this year,
with the reasonable hope Of sixty next
year. With a contract of sixty places
all in one state, there is an opportu-
Beverage of Indiana, Grover Cleve-
land. and others, who are seldom
heard and are not interested by bu-
reau which requires them to travel
hundreds Of miles, between dates for
very limited number of appearances.
The Redpath people desire so to orga'
nize the towns of Iowa that they can
approach the ablest talent In the world
with the proposition Of 10. 20 or 10
dates in the same state, at a financial
figure which will bring them. How
can the general public hear the best
entertainments unless they travel
within reach? During the five years
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau will give
85 numbers, II each season. for $3.50 a
year, or $3.50 for all. Often the price
Of a single season ticket for II num-
bers is given freely for one entertain
ment. Ry little cooperation, the
people Of Ottumwa may have a series
o1 the best lectures ana entertainments
known, not by making a money guar
antee, instead merely by purchasing
tickets, and encouraging the promoters
of the schautauqua.
The ticket sale for 1907 will be re-
sumed again next week, the canvass
ers having been called out to open up
the sale in Burlington, where the mer-
chants and citizens encourage the
movement with enthusiasm. Many ex-
pect to attend the chautauqua and to
and thereby assure the movement in
ottumwa for five years? The program
will be explained In the columns of the
Courier with short extracts Of what the
speakers are, and what may be expect
ed Of them.
Take DR.. Monroe Markley, that elo-
quent prose poet Of Denver, man tall
Cover six feet), slender, keen eyed, dark
complexioned, with strong bass voice
and picturing language, who holds one
Of the best pulpits in the Congrega-
tional churches Of America. He ap-
peals to the finer emotions Of men,
eulogizes music, and discovers merit IN
unexpected places. His lectures entit-.
and "The Unsung Hero are master
pieces OF literary art and subjects sug-
gestive Of the true-hearted, noble-
souled man that he u.s. Either Of these
lectures would be worth the price of a
season ticket. Hear him at the chau-
tauqua. Watch for the descriptions OF
others that follow.

conversions and people We're sorry for
their sins. The doctrine of hell has
been lost: not many preachers tell
about hell now. as it is unpopular.
There is no heaven without cross;
no salvation until the Blessed God SO
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whatsoever believeth
on Him shall not perish, but have eter-
nal life.
GOD, Jesus, the devil, and man, know
there is hell.
believe that hell Is literal fire,
because my Bible tells me so. When !
make that statement some say, IF God
Is love, there Is no hell; IL He Is love,
why does he damn man?'
Listen! God does not damn any
body. If they won't come to God, they
damn themselves.
Here is a vessel at sea. The captain
say. to the people, Don't fall over
board, for you will drown" but one
does and the captain throws him life
preserver, but the man won't take hold
of 1t and sinks out Of sight Was it
the captains fault he was lost. Men
and women, laugh if you will at relig-
ion, but / want to ask you one ques-
ton.
You know of the Bible and that you
are lost. Now. what will you say
when God says, Depart from Me into
everlasting f1re?"
Suppose your boy has a chum and
he spends money on him and does
everything he can for him and his
chum fights him and blackehs his eyes,
tears his ears and dattens his nose,
what would you say Of that?t God gave
you his Son and you are abusing him
and tramping him under foot.
Remember, You Are Sinner.
Remember that you are sinner, and
that a soul that sinneth shall surely
die
If a man won't accept Jesus Christ,
he damns his own soul. God wants
Him. Why don't the people of Eldon
prepare to meet their Cod? You have
hundreds of men in Eldon who are go
ing to hell, perhaps not tonight. Many
in this tent remember when mother
was dying, and you knelt by her bed
side and she took your hand in hers
and pressed 1t, asking you to meet her
That was long ago. Business and plea
sure have caused you to forget it, and
you are now farther away from God
than ever before. Will you renew the
promise now?
1t is an awful thing to deny God.
Every temptation God has a way for
escape. We are responsible for what
we KNOW dAQ WAdL we puSul 10 hAoW.
If there was no church or preacher In
Eldon, still vou would be responsible.
What are you going to do? Will you
tell Christ you tried to be Christian
and failed?
Did you put your trust in him for
pardon? Did you surrender to him?
"Ye shall seek me and find me, when
you seek with all your heart"
Will you pray every day? Will you
work for Christ and keep at it?
An Impressive Sermon.
This was an impressive sermon. and
by request every one bowed their
heads and Rev. Barrett requested all
unsaved ones who wanted him to pray
for them to quickly raise their hands.
Many hands went up all over the tent.
The Holy Ghost ia coming down to Ell
don and many will be saved.

COPPER FOUND
NEAR THE CITY.
CHARLES A. ANDERSON MAkES
INTERESTING DISCOVERY ON
HIS PLACE NEAR oTTUMWA

Charles A. Anderson, who lives ten
miles southeast of the city brought
to this Office today a large slug of
copper, which he found on his farm.
The piece of ore has been assayed and
is almost absolutely pure copper, but
whether it indicates that there Is a.
vein of copper on the farm or whether
1t has been dropped there is not
known. No other indications of the
presence Of copper has heen found, but
no prospecting has been done and 1t
may be possible that ore may be dis.
covered. The piece found by Mr. An.
derson is in the shape of an Indian
tomahawk and may have been left
there by the Indians years ago. II
weighs so ounces and is perfectly
solid. The farm is located in Adams
township.
