today notify the national commission

HIS BEST SERMON
GIVEN LAST NIGHT
Great Need of the Church is That its
Membership Should be Bap-
tised With Holy Spirit.

The large congregation that greeted
DR.. Mckaig at the Methodist church
was an evidence of his growing popu-|
larity in the city. The speaker was
in a happy mood, and preached the
best sermon he has thus far given.
His picture of the Holy Spirit
mourning over the church of today, as
Jesus wept over Jerusalem, will never
be forgotten by those present One
could almost see the pathetic scene
re-enacted, the church of today max
ing the same mistake the Jews made
when they rejected their Messiah
His subject was the need of the Holy
Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit in
revival work, in singing, in praying, In
Testimony, in preaching. God uses all
of these in the work of redemption
We need Him 10 produce conviction
| upon sinners, TO convict the world of
4 sin. Were | to ask the question what
should man preach about, some
would answer, preach on Heaven, an
fother preach about He'll, another
would say preach on Temperance.
Some would say preach against dane
ing, and the card table, and the thea
ter The real need of the church of
today is not indicated in any of these
replies. The great need of the church
is that the membership should be
baptised with the Holy Spirit and
when He is come. He Will guide them
into all truth. The Holy Spirit can
use any. or all of these means in the
salvation of men, but none of them
will suffice without His presence and
power.
We need the Holy Spirit to produce
the work OF Regeneration. man must
be born of the Spirit. The work of the
church is to save men. 1t is not like
a political party to get votes for Ger
tain principles. The speaker said he
once thought the republican part,
would save the world, but he had beer
disappointed in that.
1t is not fraternity movement
though all christians are fraternal. l
is not a. temperance movement, ant
yet it insists on temperance. 1t is nc
merely a social reform. and yet it viii

COULD HAVE

Certain ingredients That Really Pro
mote Hair Growth When
Properly Combined.

Resorcin is one Of the most effec-
tive germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which Is both germici-
dial and antiseptic, q combination Is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of It's natural,
nourishment, and also creates a clean,
healthy condition OF the scalp. which
prevents the development OF new
germs.
Pilocarpin, although not q. coloring
matter or dye, is q well-known in
gredient for restoring the hair to its
natural color, when the loss of hair
has been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper combi-
nation, with alcohol added as a slim
|ulant and for its well-defined nour-
fishing properties, perfect perhaps the
most effective remedy that is known
for scalp and hair troubles.
We have remedy which is chiefly
composed Of these ingredients, in
coordination with other extremely In
valuable medicinal agents. We. guar
antee it to positively cure danruff
and to grow hair, even though the
scalp in spots is bare Of hair. If there
is any vitality left In the roots, it will
positively cure badness, or we will
refund your money. If the scalp has
la glazed, shiny appearance, it's an
indication that badness is permanent
but In other instances we believe
badness is durable.

NEW YORK, Feb. Discussing

Roosevelt is contributing editor in
the current issue, significantly dis
cusses Roosevelt's statements in 1904

were deeply interested in the state

'Those who still think it unsafe to
elect a president for third term
should recall the fact that the objec-
tons to a third term were formulated
against third consecutive term. A
man who leaves the presidency and is
reelected after a lapse of four or
eight years has no body Of office hold
