THE Twentieth Century Special
Service for Young People" conducted
by the evangelists and singers at the
First Baptist Church yesterday was
one OF the most unique meetings ever
held In this city Hundreds of Rich
mond's boys and girls, as well as
grown people. were in attendance. and
nails of all descriptions were brought
in response TO the request of those In
charge. The male quartet sang a
special selection, at the conclusion OF
spirited service Of song directed by
Prof. M. j. Babbits.
DIR. Bruner, who was the speaker OF
the hour, introduced the visiting
preachers and singers and appointed
number Of them. with several of the
local pastors. as collectors of the nails.
Getting all of them together and plac-
ing them upon q table designated
THE Kingdom of Satan" he showed
that the many nails. which he stated
represent ed boys and girls, could not
get from the kingdom Of Satan to an
other table designated as THE King
dom Of God" alone. He declared
that the great gulf between the tw ,
could only be bridged by the power of
God ~,i5z ~ 80
Shows Uplifting Power OF Christ
Introducing IAN electric magnet
lifted scores Of the nails t"boys and
girls'') from one kingdom to the
other. The evangelist had some espe-
cially prepared nails with which he
illustrated many Of the popular and
degrading sins of the present day.
Among those he condemned without
mercy were the love for modern fash
ions. pride, jewelry. seekers after and
boarding Of wealth, whiskey drinking.

In the sight of God as the negro who
shoots craps in the alley and the pro-
fessional gambler who plays for high

of the speaker during his interesting
discourse.
He held the closest attention Of the
vast audience throughout the entire
hour and at the close of his message
more than seventy-fve people &C
cepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their
personal Savior and decided to live
for Him.

PORT DISTRICT
MAY
BE APRIL list.

City commissioners may insist
on the county putting the port dis.
trict election on April 81, the
date of the second election in Ia.
coma, rather than on April 7, ac.
cording to the talk at the meet
Ing this morning.
The city has three charter
amendments of its own coming
up at the first election and it fe
desired not to further complicate
this election by injecting the port
district into 1t. On the second
election there will be fewer can
didates and the city charter
amendments will be out OF the
road so the people will have bet
ter chance to consider the port
question.
Legislation will be required on
the part of the city as otherwise
the judges and clerks might In
sist on drawing double compensa-
tion for handling both elections.
As the judges on the second
election will have a much lighter
task than those at the first cleo
tion it is suggested that 1t will be
better all around to place the
election for the port district April
81.

FIGHT
To BREAK AN
WILL

Nephew Is arrayed against
nephew and uncle against nephew
in Judge Clifford's court today
where an attempt is being made
to break the will of John Wilson,
the Gig Harbor capitalist, who
suddenly died last August.
Wilson had been to a neighbor-
hood hop Saturday night. His
niece. Mrs. Tom Craig said he
danced little, but Sunday morn
Ing was taken sick.
DR.. Carter said 1t was a brain
hemofrhage. 1t induced paralysis
and William Craig, when Wilson
took Ill. first brought him to his
home in this city. Monday he
kept getting worse and worse and
Craig, it Is declared, got his uncle
to make his will in which he left
everything to William Craig, his
wife and two children. He cut
out his brother Thomas entirely,
also Thomas Craig and Sam Craig
and his sisters, Elizabeth Watts
and Jennie Hilton.
Within few hours after the
will is said to have been made,
when the other relatives came to
see him, he was unconscious and
dying
As there had always been the
best of feeling between the other
relatives they concluded they had
been unfairly dealt with and sued
to break the will. The estate is
worth about $4,000.
