SUNDAYS SERVICES
METHODIST CHURCH
MEETING WELL ATTENOEO-OR.
GRAY DELIVERS AN ABLE DIS
coURsE-MeET CONTINUES.

The services at Broadway Metho-
dist church were well attended yes
telday, the main auditorium OF the
church being filled to overlooking at
both the morning and evening hours.
The pastor, Rev. c. X. Gray delivered
a very able discourse at the morning
hour. taking as his subject ,he story
of Dives and Lazarus. The central
thought of this sermon was that the
religion of Christ is the most 'alua-
bic possession which man can OBJ
tain. When wealth, friends, fame and
social position have 10 be given mp
and we are called upon to stand be
fore the Judgment bar OF God, the
religion Of Christ is the only thing
that can be OF any service to us
there.
The evening service was anus ldily
interesting and helpful. The music
was exceptionally good. Mi apd Mrs.
Spindler sang duet which served
70 empnasive and deeply impress
the truths spoken by the pastor.
The pastors text was Remember
now thy Creator in the days of Thy
YOUTH" and among other things he
said, A man ought TO be religious
not because he is going TO die, but
because he is going to live. Religion
is not life insurance, but 1t is a
life investment" He spoke of the
necessity of early physical, menta.
and moral training, because every
man and woman find times when the
| temptation to commit sin Is toe
strong for them to overcome. Tho
uower of habit was discussed anC
/ both old and Young were admonishet
to free their lives from bad habits
ere the habits become too srong tC
/ be easily discarded. The speaker sait
that 1T is the verdict of science
as we'll as of religion that sin vii
ruin any man The result of the op
Grafton of the law of cause and el
feet is certain. He who transgresse
the laws of God need not expect Il
escape paying the penalty.
Those who missed hearing Re,
Gray on last evening are greater los
ers than they can afford to be. Atten
these services and You will be ben'
fitted thereby.

ing of Joe + Robson, John Mulkey
charged with the killing of Dennis
Lawson, Fred Ford charged with
killing an Indian, and Buck Williams,
a negro. charged with killing another

The cases of NTulkey and Terrell

parties concerned Mulkey was tried
here once and convicted and given
sentence of ten years, but his
case was reversed by the supreme
, court and new trial granted.
These cases mentioned will re.
ouire considerable time, as there are

each case will be hard fought by both
sides. II will require several weeks
to complete the entire docket.

4 Real Story
Of Stories

No reader of the Review who appre-
ciates an absorbing narrative can
read the first chapter of The Prodigal
Judge without finishing the story. 1t
is unlike other American works of
fiction. 1t has more kinship with the
great English novels OF the eighteenth
century in which story telling facility
and bold delineation of character went
hand in hand The Minneapolis Trib-
une has the following to say OF this
great novel:
The San Francisco Argonaut has the
following to say of the Prodigal Judge:
"Mr. Kester writes of his characters
as though he had known them all his
life and as though it were delight
to march them across the stage. He
seems to love them. He takes what
is exteriorly ugly and shows us that
it is interiorly beautiful, and this, per-
haps, may pass as definition of art.
His men and women grow better as
we watch them. The Prodigal Judge
leaves us with fine feeling in the
mind, and we like humanity the bet
ter because of it. When we have
reached the last page we decide to
read it again"
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-10-25

"Howdy, Charley. Here. Bob Yam

said Darlington pleasantly. After a
moments scrutiny of the paper that
Balaam had thrust into his hand, Car
rington began:
