Bryan at the close of the Demo-
cratic Convention:

opposed man except in sadness. If

who are my enemies have a monopoly

human being for whom feel hatred /;
nor is there one American citizen in
my own party or any other that
would oppose for anything, unless l
believed that in not opposing l sur
rendered the interests of my country,
which hold above any person.
These sentiments bespeak the Chris
tian statesman. Sixteen years ago
Mr.. Bryan said: "No man or set of
men have right to use the govern
ment as business asset for special
aggrandizement.' This utterance
emphasized the difference between the
party of special privilege and the
party of equal treatment, and at 6
time when the saying "there isn't
any difference between the parties

then and ever since served to vitalizt
the Democratic party, keeping in tn,

LARGE CROWDS AT
YEUELL REVIVAL
And Great Sermons by a
Modern Expoundcr of the
Gospel-Fine Singing.

The Yeuell meetings continue with
an attendance highly creditable. par
ticularly of the younger people. The
attendance has been satisfactory from
the start. The singing by the choir
and Miss Roth's solos have attracted
marked attention.
The Evangelists sermons have been
"up to the mark all the time. He
IL an original, clea: thinker, an in
structivo eXpositor of the Scriptures.
and an all-around fine preacher. His
sermons abound in illustrations and
Incidents, and rs n rule, free from
the sensational and sometimes shock
ing character 30 often heard from the
modern evangelist.
MIR. Youel is II thinker of the
modern schools. His religion is of the
twentieth century brand in its set
tings. His appeals are to the reason
and calm judgment of his hearers.
Such preaching and work must
eventually result in good, and large
results are expected before the meet
ings close
DIR. Herbert Yeuell was born i'm
England less than forty years ago.
II ia father was prosperous boot and
shoe man in the city of London for
many years. In his family are the
heraldic arms of the famous guilds of
tho middle centuries The family Ia
largely Of Scotch origin. DIR. Yeuell
passed through the usual collegiate
courses mt Woowich and graduated
from the Queen Elizabeth School
before he was eighteen. He came to
this country twenty years ago and
entered the Cincinnati Law School
and was admitted to the Kentucky
bar. He received his degree of M. A.
mt Bethany College and has taken
special courses ut London University
aud Oxford. He is classed among the
advanced wing of his church and his
calls as an evangelist come from the
largest churches of tho Christian de-
nomination. He is also member of
tho Inter rdenominationAl Association
of Evangelists, with headquarters Mt
the great Presbyterian Assembly mt
Winona Lake, Indiana. He is also a
member of the International Iyceum
Association. He is rapidly acquiring
Il national reputation as dramatic
and pictorial lecturer, the Britt
Lyceum Bureau exploiting him as
their headliner for season of 1928.
DIR. Yeuell's pictorial demonstra-
tion last Saturday night was made to
n packed house. Nothing of the sort
has ever before been seen in this Sec
ton. His pictures are wonders of
artistic beauty and rareness, and the
lecture delivered with the precision
of great religious play.
Mrs. Yeuell, the wife of the ia
nous evangelist. comes from Ken
lucky. Her very charming manner
and beautiful youth have captured the
hearts of the ladies' of our city. DR..
Yeuell captured her almost immedia-
tely ON arriving in this country. Their
youthful appearance makes almost
incredible the fact that they have a
son eighteen years old. ..ssy
Whatever of SUCCESS comes to
Evangelist Yeuell's meetings here,
due credit must be given to the little
woman who leads the singing. Her
winsome manner and sweet voice has
won for her high praise. tptf

this uncouth ballad, about whose

that tThere'll Be Hot Time in the

of it may be reproduced:

Suggest q Heading

IL has been somewhat more than n
quarter of n century since America
first heard the fresh young voice of
Rudyard Kipling calling across the
Atlantic. He was hailed as one Of
heavenly birth come down from the
slopes of Parnasaus--a star of poesy
to pierce the double night of CONNER
cialism and materialism with the
light of old ideals made new. Here is
his latest message. Every young man
should burn these lines into his men,
ory. Nothing better of the kind has
appeared since Burns wrote his "Ad-
vice to a Young Friend" The poem
has no headline. Suggest an appro-
pirate one.
II you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their
doubling. too.
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or. being hated. don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise;
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and
disaster
And treat those two imposters lust
the same;
If you can. bear to hear the truth you We
spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to broken.
And stoop and build 'em up with
wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch
and-toss,
And lose, and start again at you,
beginnings
And never breathe word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sineW
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says t,
them, "Hold onp'
If you can talk with crowds and kee,
your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose tn
common touch:
If neither foes nor loving friends ca
hurt you,
If all men count with you, but non
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minut
With sixty seconds worth of di!
tance run,

We are unaltcrably opposed TO the
