The love of Jonathan and David
vas brought before the audience as
an illustration of great love from man
to man. After the love of Christ to.
ward us and for us, even the love OF
these two men is but trifling. Great
er love hath no man than this, that a
but greater love had Christ for US
because we were not His friends. we
We're His enemies. Surely this is
love ali love excelling. We have
netting to give to Jesus, He gives
everything to us. All we have He
sends us and why should any mar
think he can do anything to add t.
the honor and glory of Christ? An

Efforts to get in direct communica-
ton with President Cruikshank of the
Hannibal Baseball Association today
by the local baseball management
were fruitless, but late this afternoon
Cruikshank sent indirect word here
that he would discuss the matter over
the long distance phone at $50
O'Clock. He has been out of his Of
fee today and Secretary Sterne was
unable to reach him. He says he will
then be able to give Keokuk defin-
lite answer to the question whether
Prout will come here. ~ is thought
that Cruikshank is discussing the sit
uation with Prout. Manager Belt
would not say today where he would
use Prout in case the player is Sc
cured.

ed his farewell sermon at this service.
The subject was Life, Death, What
Then?" 1t is not sermon to be for

audience in such a manner as only the
evangelist could picture it.
Then death, but said the speaker
there Is no death; change, yes, but
not death. We may say SO and so
treat their own life. No M friend,
no one has power to touch life. You
are going to exist forever Not here,
Oh, no, but somewhere, we are etern-
ally going to live. Life will go on
and on and on forever.
Then what?' Only stenographer
could give the exact wording of this
part Of the sermon, but every one
present thought of the hereafter, and
wondered how it would be with them,
when they should be called to render
! an account. Some shuddered as they
! wondered If they would be found
wanting.
The interest was intense and an
! audible sigh was heard as the evange
list closed his remarks, "You VII be
Judged by your own record, nor an
others" Look we'll to 1t that you are
ready to render your accounr-Are
