The shots attracted the neighbors and a search was made, but without success. Mrs. Brannon could not give a very correct de scription of the man, other than he was past middle age, and dressed in dark clothing It is thought that none of the shots took effect

The Arkansas team is said to have found itself in the St Louis University game, and Iadvices from Fayetteville say that the Razorbacks can be counted on to win the balance of their games. and to make amends for the defeat by Ouachita College The Arkansas team for the first time had a winning combination in the field Saturday, and Coach Pickering is confident that each day will see an improvement i'll umph over Mississippi and other hard teams 1t has to meet during the bal ance of the year It is stated that Ouachita canght ArIaG sas in bad ly crippeld condition, and when the machine had not been perfected, yet Ouachita, being fer the most part vet erans, was working as smoothly as though the team had been practicing for two months before the game. Coach Pickering states that Arkan- sas would smother Ouachita com pletely now as the team from Qua chita will show little or no improve ment, from now until the end of the season. If Ouaehita will consent to return game, to be played in Little Rock on Thanksgiving, it is thought that Arkansas would grasp the oppor- tunity to show what a fluke the Qua chita victory was.

Devil Called Glorious
At the morning service in the taber-
nacle yesterday, DR.. Slough SPOKE of
the personality of the devil, saying:
lone of the least understood beings,
ABOUT whom there is much inexeusable
ignorance is the celestial being called
the devil. Our only conception seems
to be of mythical 'bogey with which
to frighten children. We laugh about
the tabled devil and speak of him as
some black, hideous monster belehing
hre, when the fact of the ease is that
there is not line of Scripture to sup
port it. Satan, or the devil, in the Bible
is the most glorious being ever created.
There is no disrespect ever shown
him in describing him in the Bible. lie
is so grand and glorious, angels would
as soon have thought of speaking dis
respectfully of God as of him.
"lf the devil is not in hell and
never has been in hell, where is he's
You may be amazed to learn that he is
in Heaven. Heaven is still his seat of
authority. He has not yet been ex-
cluded.'
Trail Hitting in the Evening
In the evening ninety persons hit
the trail, following the sermon, passages
from which follow:
'Somea people think they are able
to go throueh life without Christ, in
other words, they think they are self
sufficient within themselves and that
they can steer clear of everything that
turns up. They think their conscience
will be their guide and help them ont
of every difficulty. But here S just
where they make their fatal mistake.
lhe conscience of youth is not the con-
science of maturity. When one is Young
one S conscience is pure, but as one
grows older and more sinful one s con-
science becomes defled. Your sins.Ap-
root your will and make your con-
science Towerless. Conscience can say,
when you are contemplating sin, Don {
do that thing. But it can't keep YOU
from doing it.
Women's and Children S Meetings
While the men s meeting was being
held IN the afternoon at the tabernacle.
Miss Eggleston addressed the children
at the Christ Lutheran church, to which
the boys and girls in the booster chorns
marched in body after singing at the
men s meeting, Miss Saxman spoke to
young women at the Fourth Street
Church of God, including many girls
who hit the trail, and Miss Palmer
preached to women at the Ridge Ave-
nue. Methodist church. Miss Palmer
dwelt particularly on the matter of
dancing, saying in part:
Pleasure is another obstacle in pre-
venting you from going to Christ. When
you play cards You are wasting your
time. Yon can t have conscience and
dance. Some say that there is no harm
lit dancing. Would you want Jesus to
find you in a dance halle''
