CA LITTLE SERMON FOR TFIE WEEK ENDS

the destruction Of monopoly. the redemp-
ton OF labor
America has seen two great religious
movements one in the beginning OF the last
century. one about the middle. and Is now
ready for the third.
What viii be the characteristics OF the
next great revival?
l. II will be unlike any that have pre-
ceeded it, No two religious movements are
alike
, Like all great movements. Il will be
radical and progressive, trampling as did
Jesus on many petted traditions.
g. II will have great leaders, sun-Crowned
men, unmercenary broad-visioned, abso-
utely unselfish and God-inspired. God has
a thousand Pauls and Wesleys and Phin-
news N his loins
T. II will likely be attended with political
revolutions that will obliterate old lines
and destroy old methods.
.. 1t will be almost necessarily attended
with great improvement Of the condition
OF the masses, as has been universal in
history. He hath put down the mighty
/ from their seat and exalted them of low
degree" The divine patience OF the poor
will yet be rewarded
g. It will reach beyond any sect and
touch alike Catholic. Protestant and Jew.
1t will bring in or be attended by the fed
/ Grafton of denominals.
! q It will, with the great social uprising,
eliminate war and release billion a year
| for the elimination OF want and slums.
! s. It will be a revival OF men and boys,
and not Of women only.
1 am speaking not Of an event Of tomor-
row, or the next day; It may be in fifty, or
100, or 200 years-but it will come And we
can live in anticipation and possession OF
the vision.

Chester Anderson Tells His
 Story
HELD UP THE BUGGY
Men Gathered at Mill of E. G. Clark and Arranged to DecOy Miss s3 Chamberlain to the
 Woods

Lincoln Center. Kan, November ao.- How the Shadybend "tar" party met at the mill of E. G. Clark, one of, the wealth. jest citizens of the community, and ar ranged to tar Miss Chamberlain, school teacher was told on the witness stand today by Chester Anderson, one of the party.
 Three men on trial were Sherrill Clarke. brother of E. G. Clark, the miller who pleaded guilty and John Schmidt and A. N. Simms, farmers. Anderson testified that they were not members of the band who actually spread the tar as they came to the rendezvous on foot and were un- able to keep up with the others who rode motorcycles.
 The prosecutor declared they were equally guilty with the others.
 Chester Anderson, one of the ''high- waymen' who held up the carriage in which Miss Chamberlain was riding on the night of the assault, was the first witness.
 "I went to Shadybend August with a load of corn for Everett Clark said An- derson, and one of the millmen asked
 
 out that night, that they wanted to tar her.
 ''I said mo- When I got back to Rev. erly saw Ed. Ricord sitting in front of the barber shop. I told him about the scheme to get Mary Chamberlain out.
 I'm game he said. I'll take ,her.'
 Then went back to Shadybend and told the Clarks that Ricord would get the girl for them. Some of the boys in town had heard of it. We gathered at Clark's mill.
 We decided to wear masks and I and Delbert Kindelsparger were selected to hold the buggy up. We had the tar ready. Ricord jumped out of the buggy and h,u Then we seized and tarred the gir.''
 Anderson said he wore a mask made of handkerchief and Ebert Kendall went to the rendezvous in a buggy and the others took motorcycles. He said they got out of the buggy and stood behind the hedge with Alfred Lindermuth, who was already there with several other men.
 Do you recognize any of the oth- ers?"
 Yes, Everett Clark and Jay Fitzwa- ter"
 What did they have on?"
 Jay had a big overcoat over his head and MT. Clark sunny sack over his"
 While they waited silently, Anderson said buggy came up the road. It was Ricord with Miss Chamberlain.
 "Elbert and I started out from be- hind the. hedge then" he said, hold ing revolvers. Two other men, wearing masks, then came out and took Mary out of the buggy after Richard had jumped out and hid. Another man got the can of tar.'
 Who were these three men?"
 Everett Clark and Jay Fitzwater and l don't know who the other was."
 What did they do?"
 "They took Mary out beside the road The other brought the tar from the buggy and they began putting it on her Then they helped her up.''
 Did Miss Chamberlain say anything after they took her from the buggy?'
 "She said, Oh, Oh. Ed"
 Miss Chamberlain sat with her hand to her face while Anderson testified. On cross examination by the defense, Anderson was asked many jointed ques-
