and they entered in with spirit that
called forth applause from the audi
ence and choir. The children sang,
the choir sang in fact every one in the
tabernacle sang with vim that
threatened to take the roof of of that
hand made tabernacle.
That tabernacle roof however is
en- good and stout or it never could
have stood for the High. school yells
that those boys and girls, TOO, ripped
cut. Robt. SMITH High school lad,
led the yells which were given with

and Give us your yell Dr. Lyon"

cd with the yell OF his alma mater,
the University of Iowa yell, which
was much like an Indian war cry,

through, the enthusiasm of the young
people for their school was marked
but not any more SO than was their

espouscd.

these young people began to talk The
gospel Of Jesus Christ to those OF

In his preliminary talk last night
Dr.. Lyon spoke out plainly on con.
Gitions as be found them in 'airmont,
relating to City Government He gayu
hihc Commissloi form OF government
Il big boost in his demand for better
government, He said:
"A great many people have been
bought and sold any many OF you who
profess to be honest men have been
going on buying up people like cattle.
The man who does this is so low down

marking can be erased and then some
fellow has an eraser and does not hes.
hate to use 1t, and the results OF more
than one election right here in Fair.
mont has been jHggled.
The political party is not the quCs.
ton; the question Is whether or not
the candidate Is the right man to ran
the city affairs. Tho devil has been
pulling the wool over your eyes long
enough. You should put men In office
the same as YOU would employ then
for your store, your factory or ans
other business,
we should have the Commif.2 ion
form OF government in every city in
this country. You ask What has this
10 do with religion?' 1t has a lot 10
DO with religion. If you would drive
out all these gambling joints, these
houses of vice. and these vile, damna.
bic falcons It would be ten times cas-
Ter to bring people to Jesus Christ
here IN Fairmont,"
