association has engaged Mr.. Draper to
deliver his lecture on Why Jesus
Comes Again." here September at 9
O'clock p m. The lecture will be held
in Eggan's hall. opposite the post
office Il
Mr. Draper is quoted as saying
There is not enough of Jesus In the
preaching of today. My own expert
ence and the experience of others
is much like that of the Massachusetts
pastor who, desiring to know what pull
pit themes the people of his congrcga-
ton thought important and vital. sent
out 800 inquiries. The replies he re-
ceived were Illuminating. The cross.
was the answer of man high in po-
lltical life; Christ Crucified. was the
answer of a railroad vice president;
The Gospel was the answer of a lead
ing business man. And that is the an
swer of every man who goes to church
for genuine benefit. To the pulpit ever
comes up the cry from the pew, Sir,
we would see Jesus
The entire expense of the lecture
has been provided for by voluntary
