tuouS young lives of the city. The
lives of the young men and women of
the country are being ruined by the
drink curse. I am not saying this
about Topeka, as this is the cleanest
town of it's size I have ever seen
Il am pleased to say this afternoon
that you have a. governor who has a
backbone and not a wishbone. He has
been one of the instruments in driving
liquor out of Kansas. Since 1 have
been in this city I have not seen a
man under. the influence of liquor,
and I think this is remarka BILE"
The governor, by the way, was in
attendance at the morning meeting.
and when his presence was announced
from the platform, an audible 'Amen"
came from all parts of the big hall.
In the course of the afternoon adj
dress before men, DIR. Scoville declar-
ed himself as being in favor of
America for Americans-that is be be-
lieved that the exclusion of all per-
sons who love their home country bet
ter should be insisted upon "I say"
said the speaker, that if a man loves
his home country better than America.
the ocean is not wider at the present
time than it was when he came to
this country. Anarchy would not be
known and suffering would be mini
mixed if the country were rid of
such persons"
1t was a great audience at the au-
ditorium last night. The Modern
Woodman band under the leadership
of H. v. Scoles, furnished the instru-
mental music for the meeting, and the
congregational music was inspiring.
Last Nights Sermon.
DR.. Scoville, in the evening sermon
said: There are too many people say
they believe that Christ is their Savior
and have never said a thing against
religion in their lives, go to church
oY,5 &c 1oI
thing as havi- thimble full, and
having a barrel full, both are full
and that is the way with such Chris
tians, they are satisfied to go to church
believe in Christ and his teachings
but how much have they done to win
some poor soul to Christ and to help
build up the kingdom of Christ? They
are satisfied with their thimble full
and I 0ray that they turn from their
thimbles and get a barrel full tonight
There is no meaner person living
than the man who will take another
mans wife away from her husband, OF
a French heeled, fresco faced, kanga-
roo shaped sissy, who will take a man
away from his wife.
II want to ask those away from
Christ, how do you expect to meet God
! in the great judgment? If you
have put Christ out of your lives while
on this earth, do you expect a recog-
milton on the day of judgment?
wait, is the devil 100 non and tic
wait until a more convenient time
means that perhaps you have lost your
last opportunity.
1T pays to work for the Lord. Take
the time you are now wasting on the
little things and work for Christ and
the results will be wonderful
There will be no meeting held this
evening in the Auditorium as Monday
night of each week is rest night.
The evangelistic company will go to
the Christian church in Oakland and
| hold a meeting.

HAD A BIG DAY.
ScOville Evangelists Hold Many
Meetings.
Number Of Converts NearS the
500 Mark.

Sunday was a great day for DIR.
Charles Reign Scoville, the evangelist,
and his company of assistants. A half
dozen meetings were held, two in the
auditorium, and others at the Third
Christian church, the Auburndale mis-
sion, the Novelty theater and the r.
r. Y. M. c. A, with the result that
the converts recorded for the day
were ia bringing the total number
for IA days up to 478.
The results at the different places
where meetings were held in number
of persons brought to Christ were as
follows: At the Third Christian church
in the morning, Is; at the auditorium
in the evening, It; at the Novelty
theater in the afternoon 80; at the
Auburndale Mission in the afternoon,
IA at the r. r. Y. M. c. A. in the
afternoon 20.
auditorium in the morning subse-
quent to the sermon by DR.. Scoville,
the entire lower floor of the auditor
ium being filled.
MANY people think that if you are
! Christian" said DR.. Scoville at this
meeting, that everything is smooth
sailing and that things go right all the
time. This is a mistake as Christian
people as we'll as anybody else have
their ups and downs in life.
Jesus said: My yoke is easy and
my burden light That is to say, that
when we are in trouble He is always
willing to help us out. The way of the
righteous is the way to heaven, and
the way of the wicked is towards hell.
Every one of us have cold, dark, and
sunless days in our lives and in the
darkness the Almighty God is standing
ever ready to help u.s."

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

yes. my dear, after all did for
her in introducing her to those people
and trying to do everything in my
power to make her vacation pleasant,
she never has shown me the sllghtest
gratitude. Isn't that trying? L de-
clare, it has taught me lesson
So said the lady on the seat in front
of me in the car. Now, please don
accuse me of eavesdropplng Tor as
sure YOU that her tones were so forci-
bly, audible that 1 should have had to
put my hands over my ears or get I'M
der the seat to avoid hearing her.
Just there reached my destination
and got off the car, so l wasn't given
to hear what the lesson Was-1f, IN
deed, the lady elucidated that matter.
rather suspect she left it to the
Intelligence of her nearer to grasp that
the lesson was that it didn't pay to do
things for people because they were
so apt to be ungrateful.
y 1 wonder if there is any weakness
of human nature more common and
more unconscious than this greedy
demand for gratitude for services done
on the part of people who at the same
time demand credit from the world for
their generosity in performing said
services.
Isn't it queer that more of us aren't
logical enough to see that the mo-
ment we demand an equivalent in
gratitude that moment We invalidate
our bill for unselfishness?
To do good deeds because one
wishes to bask in the gratitude they
call forth is no more meritorious than
to do kindnesses because one expects
favorS in return.
The only 4nerit is to do kind things
because one knows they should be
done, and because one wants to help
the world along.
I know woman who seldom
misses a chance to help people but
who, to my mind, loses all title to
generosity by always being ready to
say sharp things about her beneficiar-
les, unless whenever they meet her
they metaphoricaI1y fall on their knees
and assure her, ooh, Mrs. L., don't
know what 1 should have done if it
hadn't been for you 1 don't know
how 1 can ever thank you," or some
thing equally fulsome.
AS for myself I haven't any use for
her kind of generosity.
Real generosity inwardly Shrinks
from thanks and accepts them only
because 1t knows that thanks may
be the natural outlet for the recip-
ient's state of mind and that it is
cruel to deny him the opportunity to
| express them.
Everywhere there are people on
boards and committees who do much
work without pay and who take great
credit to themselves for this ganer-
osity, but who all the time are exact
ing a continual toll of gratitude and
praise, and who if this is not promptly
paid. get In huff sd resign. or. at
least relax their efforts.
What funny self deceiving folks
this planet is peopled with, isn't it?
Present company always excepted,
of course.
