and rendered a beautiful and expressive
SOLO
DR.. Toy took for his text Luke l4,27,
'Whosoever doth not bear his own cross,
and come after me, cannot be my disci-
pie" The main teaching of this text
evidently is that only those who deny
themselves and take up their crosses
can enter Heaven. A very vivid and
touching description OF the events in
Gethsemane and the trial hall leading
up to the crucifXtion moved the audience
to tears.
The reason for all this pain and sor-
row is mans need. The excellent order,

church is memorial OF one who died

Have YOU been redeemed ?" Mans
great need is vision Of Jesus dying for
him. The worlds busy scenes shut out
this vision, Complete surrender to
Christ must be manifested by public
confession OF some kind.
The sermon was followed by an appeal
to people to come forward and make
such profession. A large number came
very promptly. DR. Toy announced his

To the Person Who VIII Take Down
Flag in Front of City Hall.


The Republican city committee
through its officers, declare that they
have made several attempts at having
the campaign flag in front of the city
hall taken down They first approached
the electric light people and offered to
pay their men to take it down, and later
made the same offer to others, but SO
far they have not been able to get the
flag removed. When 1t blew up over and
around the wires from which it is sus-
pended several weeks ago, it became SO
entangled among the wires it could not
be pulled in by the cord which carried
It out from the city hall, and at no
time since has it untsngled enough to
allow Of its being pulled in. The com
mittee stands read to pay anyone $40
to take it down.
