THE TENT meeting
Rev. BagwiI Preaching Interesting
Sermons-Four Conversions
Last Night

The meeting at the gospel tent is
beginning to stir the city and the in
terest of the people was seen last
night as they crowded into the tent to
hear Rev. Bagwills message on
profit and Loss" He used for his
text Matthew 1926: What if a man
should gain the whole world and lose
his own soul" He said that man in
sures his house, his property and his
life, but neglects his soul, and Jesus
is here attempting to awaken him to
it's value.
AS the evangelist pictured the vast
ness of this world he said it was a
beautiful world, bountiful world and
productive world. He declared that if
Adam had lived six thousand years
and had accumulate $4,000 per year,
he would have piled up only half as
much wealth as some of our private
citizens accumulate in the brief period
of thirty or forty years.
He drew a picture of the business
world, the financial world and the
world of pleasure. and showed the i'm
possibility of gaining it all. In dealing
with the soul he said it was trinity
and was made up of the intellect, SEN
sibility and will He clearly showed
how terrible it would be to even lose
one of these powers, and yet Jesus
warns us of the danger of losing all.
At the close of the service there
were four persons converted and unit
ed with the church.

w. ]. Bryan has started something
by raising a fight on Judge Alton B.
Parker, who has been selected by the
national committee as temporary
chairman for the national democratic
convention at Baltimore. That is one
of the greatest objections to Mr.
Bryan. He wants to be the whole
thing. He wants to say who shall be
the convention officers, he wants to
write the platform, and he wants to
either be the nominee himself or name
him. In truth, Mr.. Bryan wants to be
the bridegroom at the wedding and
the corpse at the funeral.
