The engineer, taken 'unawares, lush

guilty pause.
'sWhy did you do that?"
! Because I love YOU he replied,

PLATE was warned by his wife VINO
said: ''Have thou nothing to do with
that Just man Jesus" This afforded the
evangelist an opportunity to pay a
tribute to his own wife, habit he had,
he explained, born from belief that it
was better to praise ones wife now
than wait until she was dead. Ma
Sunday blushed and hung her head in
confusion while Sunday said: Il don't
know about you people but know that
have never gone contrary to my wife's
advice without getting up against 1t.
Ma may not take prize in a beauty
show but she has more good, hard
sense than anyone l ever knew"
Developing his contention that the
evidence of the divinity of Christ is
just as unmistakable in this day as
when PLATE sought weakly to avoid
responsibility for pronouncing the SEN
tence against Christ by washing his
hands of the affair. he amplified on the
subject from the standpoint of histor-
ical evidence and Christian experience
of men and women of this time, finally
pointing to the perfection OF Christ's
life and the sublime sacrifice he made
on the cross.

Mt. Ayr, Nov. 19.-The people of

pended upon to do their full share
when a call is made for the relief OF
suffering One week ago today the
Record-News announced that an eff.
fort would be made through the sec.
rotary of the Mount Ayr Commercial
club to raise money to send to the
Belgian Relief association to be used
in buying provisions for the starving
people of Belgium. In two days fol
lowing the announcement Secretary
Currie received $40 in money and
each day since additions have been
made to the fund Mr. Currie brought
in the list of contributions this morn.
ing. A perusal Of the list shows that
interest in the matter is not confined
to Mount Ayr and vicinity alone, but
that people in all parts of the county
have heard the call for help and are
| willing to aid in the cause OF reliev
| ing the distress.
| e. E. Hayes & Sons, who have, been
appointed to collect corn for the starv

already received some contributions
and the promise of great many bush
els. There are no doubt hundreds OF
people in the county who will be glad
to give bushel or more of corn. The
corn may be delivered at the elevator
shelled or in the ear. Messrs. Hayes
e. Sons will gladly shell all corn thai
lis delivered in the ear and prepare II
for shipment.
The Belgian relief fund is growing
steadily in all parts Of the state Ring

more brilliantly than in his sermon

power by virtue Of special privilege and
used that power against the Will or the
common people who loved CHRIST.
Then he added "And the common peo-
pie have not come into their own yet
in America nor yet in the, church.
Developing the analogy he pictured
PLATE as a natural product of the po-
litical system existing in Rome at that

job which was threatened because OF

ity to become in history figure loved

those same evil forces Of special priv
