Cincinnati Dec 19-There was a time
when the owners OF the Cincinnati club

valuable pieces of baseball property. and

a promise of more or less money and
asked TO help the Reds Nin Few eXqa

PHILlSTINES STILL BUSY,
DECLARES REV. DR.. HENSON
WeII-known Baptist Preacher Finds
Subject for Sermon in the Ancient
Activity of Abraham

Yesterday morning Rev. DR.. p. S.
Henson acted as regular supply for the
Temple Baptist church. He filled the
pulpit in the best senses of the word
He is bringing to the Temple pulpit
the rich stores of experience accumu
lated through many years of minis
tration in prominent pulpits Some
one has referred to his earlier efforts
as follows: when he first appeared
on the platform those who had never
been magnetized by him smiled tran
silently at the shortness of his meas
ure, but that aggressive swing i'm his
movement, that large rotundity of his
voice and that majestic sweep of his
passionate eloquence more than filled
the pulpit"
DIR. Henson spoke yesterday on
"Choked Wells" using as a text the
familiar words, And Isaac digged
again the wells of water, that they
had digged in the days of Abraham, his
father" Gen. XVI, 49,. He said in
part:
THE patriarchs were great well dig
gers. Abraham set the pace. After
his death the Philistines took Internal
satisfaction in stopping the wells which
he left as his memorials. The Phil
istines are not all dead and there arc
wells which we need to dig again. l
shall speak of three: The well of scrip
ture, the well of prayer and the we'll
of Christian experience.
what depths there are In the well
of scripture. There was a river in
Eden. there is a river in heaven; but
we poor mortals need a well. A very
old we'll ii is and ineXhaustible. The
destructive critics seem to be digging
for the dirt that lines the sides. We
are digging TO reach the treasures of
living water below. With joy shall we
draw water from the wells of saliva
tion.
1.-The we'll Of prayer reYerses the
process. Now we1draw from the upper
deep. The church's real power is that
which comes from on high. The whole
effort of infdelity is to discredit the
efficacy of prayer. Beware that the
well is not clogged by unbelief.
1.-The we'll of Christian experience is
flooded with blessing. The religion OF
Christ is not a code or a creed, but
an experience. The Christian has
well of water within himself. 1t is of
all streams the sweetest and the most
satisfying. The source is from beneath
the throne of God.
IF youf Christian wells are choked
by sin, by worldliness or by disuse,
dig them again.
