'STONECHAPEL REVIVAL
Sermon Last Night Was Upon The
~. .'Four Gates Of He'll

The members and friends of the
Christian church were interested In
hearing two letters which were read
to them in the opening services Tues
day night. One was from Mrs. Chas.
| Foehlinger In response to telegram
of sympathy sent to her at the time
of her husbands death. The other
was from Miss Anna Cowdrey, the
missionary to India, whom the Oska-
loosa church Is supporting A Christ.
mas box had been sent Miss Cowdery
and the letter was one of appreciation
for this kindness and also a descrip-
ton of their Christmas as spent in
that far-off land. ,.... .s m.
Mr.. Hackelman's solo was: There
is Time Enough Yet" The sermon
was upon the -Four Gates to He'll"
or some reasons why people do not ac-
cept. Jesus Christ. The four gates as
given were: First, Infidelity or Unbe-
lief. Few are kept out of the King
dom on this account. II Is not the
lives of men we should study In order
to become convinced of Christ's di-
yinity, but the Bible, the "book OF
books" The prophecies In the Old
Testament, tell us of His coming, His
suffering and death, the Gospels give
us four separate accounts of His life
among men. HE
Second, Indifference, this Is broad
gate and many pass through it. Peo-
pie seem more concerned in all world
ly affairs than in the welfare of their
souls. The ministers of Oskaloosa
estimate that there are at least 5000
people In our city who never attend
church.
Third: lndecision Many an enter
prise fails because of indecision. Fail.
ure to grasp the opportunity when It
presents itself, causes many a bust
ness man to fail in success Many
person intends to accept Christ but
lacks the decision necessary.
Fourth. Inactivity. Many are walt.
ing for more convenient time. Faith
that saves means action.
Almost cannot avail
Almost Is but to fail
Sad, sad that bitter wall
Almost, but lost"
One lady responded to the invita-
ton. Baptismal services will, he held
tonight.
Thursday evening business meet
ing will follow the evening service and
the membership are asked to be pre-
sent.

FIRE MASHALL IN CITY
Making Study and Criticism of the
Oskaloosa Fire Limits.

Duties of the state Fire Marshal,
Ole o. Roe, have been in town making
study and criticism of Oskaioosa's
| fire limits, its scrap heaps, aid build
ings and places that may be consider
ed menace to the public safety.
Numerous places about town were
looked after and changes recommend
ed. Criticism is offered of the man
ner In which merchants and business
houses permit the accumulation of
debris. old paper, waste or packing
material. Chief 1. II. McCracken has
complained to the offenders In strong
terms but without lasting effect. A
place is cleaned one week to become
just as bad or worse the week follow.
ing. Offending parties are hereafter
to be complained against and fined In
the regular way. Only few days ago
what might easily have been a bad
fire, had IL started during the night,
occurred in a trash filed area way In
the business district No excuse ex-
lists for making kindling place for
fire either inside or outside a building,
and merchant who permits trash
and waste TO accumulate in his base
ment is amenable to the same laws an
piles his waste paper, etc. on the out
side of the building or alley. Chief
McCracken has been ordered to make
closer inspection of buildings, factor
les and any other place where risk of
fire Is great. Iowa Is showing a bet
ter record in lowering of fire losses
over previous years and the state
chief is going after the work to place
the chance of fire on a still lower
plane. He says fire in some respects
Is like disease. Don't wait to cure Il
until il starts. Don't have il at all
Prevent ii. Remove the possibilities.
The state department has already saw.
ed countless thousands OF dollars In
fire losses through the work of its Of

is rigid state Inspection of all cleo
