HOLY SPIRIT
WAS DISCUSSED
Interesting Theme From the Scrip.

Night in Sermon to a
Large Crowd.

If You Will Accept the Power of the
Holy Ghost, Says Or. Mcconnell,

PRESENT DAY TOPIC


DR. Mcconnell spoke to another
large audience last night at the First
Baptist church, selecting that inter-
esting subject from the scriptures,
THE Holy Spirit DR.. Mcconnell
went deep into the subject and his
discussion was a very interesting one.
DR.. Mcconnell intimated that many
people appear to be afraid of the
power of the Holy Ghost, and asso
ciated it with ridiculous and unbal
anced ideas. In part, he said:
There are some who may have the
idea that the Holy Spirit is not for
folk in this day, but this is a great
error. There are two things taught
by the New Testament about the
Holy Spirit. One is the gifts of the
spirit, the other the fruit of the spir.
it. All people who receive the Holy
Spirit do not have the gift of heal
ing, but all the children of God may
have the fruits of the spirit, and II
you do not have them you are not a
christian.
Jesus said, Ye believe in God be
lieye also in Me. II you believe in
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-04-05

God, believe also in Me and if you
cannot believe in Me because OF what
] say, remember My works. 1t is not
a matter of understanding; it is a
matter of fact. You did not under
stand My works but you saw them;
believe me for My works sake.
What did the coming of the Holy
Ghost on the day OF Pentecost sig
nifty? 1t meant the absolute evidence
to the world that Jesus, who walked
the earth and claimed to be the Son
of God, was the Son of God; that
Jesus had the power to put away sin;
that Jesus died as mans substitute;
it was convincing evidence OF the fact
that the men who rejected Jesus of
Nazareth rejected Gods own son.
THE coming of the Holy Ghost
proved that what Jesus said of Him
self while on earth was true, that
what He said He had of power in
heaven WAS true, that what He said
He was going to do would happen.
God wants this same evidence to
come to the heart Of everyone who
will accept Him.
There are four things that distin
guish the power of the Holy Ghost:
the power to see right, the power to
live right, power for right feeling and
the power for effective service.
THE Holy Ghost will come to any
of us who are willing; He doesn't
ask your age or educational advan
tages, but He will come to all willing
to receive Him. He will not go where
He is not welcome. We are not will
ing is the reason we have not the
Holy Spirit. If you will accept the
power of the Holy Ghost He will give
you happiness and peace. Take Him
and you will find Gods providence is
adequate for your deepest, widest
need, for it is Gods plan for you and

ENGINEER WINS BOUT

right in the last act.
Causes Of the High Stage.


The river reached the line of Ii
feet, 6 tenths at / o'clock this MORN

day. The height OF water here de-
ponds largely on the high stage at
the mouth of the Des Moines which
always has a marked effect on the
river as far up as the middle of the
rapids in the, Mississippi.
The height of the water was not
making so much bother to the owners
of the big cofferdam as was the wind

and undercut levees at a great rate.
But here stone was blasted out of

DIED OF WOUNDS
LONG SUFFERED.
Solomon James, a Venerable Vet
eran Of the Civil War Dies at
National Hospital at
Leavenworth, kans.
HURT IN A COLLISION
And fingered for Several Months
From the Wounds He Received
Near FL Paso,
Texas.
HURT IN A COLLISION

The news has been received by
Samuel James of 109 North Seventh
street of the death of his brother,
Solomon James, who died March 80,
at the hospital of the Soldiers Home
at Leavenworth, Kansas. His death
was caused by injuries received in a
frightful railroad collision east of
Ell Paso, Texas, last fall when he was
en- route from Clifton, Ariz, to his
home at Fort Scott, Kansas.
Mr.. James was a veteran of the
civil war from Missouri, member
of Company H OF the Twenty-first
regiment, and he served in the con
test for five years, being discharged
at the close of the war at Mobile,
Ala.
1t seems the irony of fate that
man should heroically and successfully
brave the heated fire OF battle in
many dangerous conflicts and years
after his discharged from the patriotic
duty suffer and die from wounds re-
ceived in horrible railroad collision.
But such are the facts in the case.
MIR. James will no doubt be remem-
bered by many Keokula people, es-
pecially veterans of the city as he
visited his brother here only about
three years ago.
Mr.. James was seventy-two years
of age at the time of his death and
is survived by two sons, Henry
James, who was with him at the time
of his death, and Edgar R. James of
Clifton, Ariz. He was a good man,
a brave soldier and had large circle
of acquaintance among his old com
rades in Missouri.
The funeral occurred April at the
National cemetery at Leavenworth,
Kansas.
