FAREWELL SERMON
Of J. F. NORRIS
SCATHlNG, BITING CRITICISM OF
MODERN DRESS AND THE DE-
VOTION TO VANITY.

Rev. j. Frank Norris Of the First
Baptist church in Ft, Worth, preach
cd his farewell sermon at the Broad
way Baptist church here last night
and the meeting will close tonight
with a sermon by the pastor cou-
pied with the baptism of several
applicants for membership in the
church. Rev. Norris preached a Sc
ries of sermons here, great crowds
came to hear him, the sermon last
night was listened to by a crowded
church and especially was the at
tendance large of children. He told
many things to provoke laughter and
the school children evidently were
repaid for their attendance.
The minister provoked laughter by
telling of an incident which he said
was the meanest thing he ever did.
In speaking of the religious fads he
named the sect known as Holy
Rollers. When he was young man
the Holy Rollers were holding a.
meeting near him. He and some
of his companions gathered a sack
of yellow Jackets and when the SER
vices had reached a point where
many had gone into their frances
the stineers were released and tho
character of the service was some
what changed. He said recently there
have been founded 700 different re-
lisious creeds, but the Holy Rollers
were the only one he took occasion
TO mention in his sermon.
He prefaced his sermon by a read
ing of Scripture which he said
should be read by the man who
charges forty per cent interest. Fol
lowing the Scripture reading he said
many pleasant things of Ardmore
people and expressed his pleasure
at having been here and said if
ever a job opens here that the peo-
ple think he can fill he would like
10 have a chance at it. He spoke
of the asphalt streets. bat said he
was going to a city where the
streets we're paved with gold whero
no repairs were to be made and no
taxes to pay. He spoke very kindly
of the ArdmOre pastors ana thanked
them for their cooperation i'll the
meeting. He "apologized' to the Elks
for his frequent references to them
and said he gained his impression
from the Elks il his town where
lf1rors were dispensed. He followed
his apology" by reading news
paper clipping from Marshall, Texas,
telling of the. arrest of the Exalted
Ruler fer selling liquor and the
making up of a fund for his de-
fense by the Eagles and some other
fraternal societies.
The minister said the sisters ad'
vised the pastor as often as theI
moon changed and the kind OF al
vice depended upon the sta'e OF
their digestion. He illustrated his
story by telling OF a member he had
once who told him of the shortcom-
ings of all the other members OF
the people generally and of all the
nastors which her church had ever

Weather TOpsy Turvy in East

Chicago, Nov 22-The thermomete:
broke all records for the last decade
for November in Chicago when it
reached 72 degrees this afternoon.
Only twice in the history of the local
weather bureau has the temperature
exceeded this mark during the entire
month of November-in 1888 and in
1911.
The lilacs are budding, the coal
dealers are raving and that part Of
the population which has "put 'em
en-" is fidgeting-all because of the
spring weather to which we are be-
ing treated. To be accurate, we are
getting not spring weather, but the
regular fall of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, according to the weather
tureau authorities.
"a high pressure area settled over
the southeastern part of this country,
and has been stationary for a week
or ten days." explains Major H. B.
Hersey, in charge of the Chicago
weather bureau during the absence
=! the west of Prof. H. J. Cox. Low
pressure areas are travelling in sue
cession over the northern portion OF
the country. The result is that south
and southwest winds prevail, bring
ing US the climate of the south.
"a change is due tonight or to
morrow and it will be cooler tomor-
row with a drop of possibly 10 or Il
degrees. That will not bring the
temperature down to normal, how
ever"
Lincoln park is beginning to bios
som. In the last three or four days
according to Superintendent William
Nielsen, fresh green buds have ap
peared on the lilac bushes and Other
Towering shrubs. The gardens are
being watched for the appearance Of
crocus and daffodil shoots and thC
other early spring flowers.
