Penn WORSTS IOWA
Wins Basket Ball Game by Score
of 26 to 20.

In a game marked with much rough
playing ON the part of the visitors
the Penn college basket ball five de-
feated the Iowa college five of Grinneil

seconds of play. 1t was nip and tuck
this half for both teams and when
time vas called the game stood IL to

IS STARTED
Special Meetings In Progress Al
Presbyterian Church.

The special services to be held at
the First Presbyterian church opened
Sunday evening with very encour-
aging prospects. The attendance was
good and the general spirit of the
meeting was all that could be desired,
The, meeting was opened with a song
service led by Professor Reese and
his chorus choir Old hymns We're
chosen that all knew and every one
was encouraged to sing. Saved BY
Grace" the solo part, sung by Profes-
scr Reese, was especially fitting for
the sermon which followed.
The Scripture lesson was taken
from the 18th chapter OF the Gospel
to Luke. The lesson taught
that we should have more OF the spirit
of Christ In our lives, and thus be
able to go out TO the outcasts and the
lowly and lift them us and draw them
For we being followers
of Christ ought not to be above the
things that He would do Christ was
the friend of the publican and sinner
and through the lofty sacred beauty of
His life He influenced all that came
in contact with Him, so that they were
led back into the true. pure life.
Zacchaeus needed but Christ to
speak to Him and he heard the call
of better life within. Then, too, all
that many need is the kindly words
OF true Christian life to induce them
to turn from their downward life.
However, one must be sure and have
the Christ life in him or he can never
lift another up. Ones soul must be
broadly above the sordid if he would
another soul uplift.
Thus fittingly the thoughts of the
sermon of Sunday evening prepare one
for the subject of Monday and Tues.
day. why Are You a Christian? and
Why Are You in the Church,
A cordial welcome is extended to all.
Please come. 81.
