LECTURES
AT COLORADO SPRINGS

DR.. T. w. Jeffrey, formerly pastor of
the First Methodist church in Ottum-
wa. but now of st. Paul's M. e. church
at Lincoln, Neb., has been on lee
ture tour through Colorado recently
and the Colorado Springs Evening
Telegraph under date of Friday, Nov.
20, has the following on his lecture in
that city:
A large audience at the Burns
theater last night heard DR.. T. w. JEFF
frey give his famous lecture on "The
Life Worth While" This was the
opening number of the Y. M. c. A.
star course and all who heard the talk
pronounced it one of the most inter-
esting and eloquent ever given in this
city. DR.. Jeffrey has a pleasing per-
sonality and talks with ease, and yet
with a force that carries conviction.
The burden of his lecture was that
success in any line where the spiritual
side of ones self lacks development,
j., not success in the best sense of the
word.
DR., Jeffrey remained in Colorado
Springs today and will leave this even
ing for the east This morning he ad-
dressed the students at Colorado col
lege during the chapel period and
made a deep impression ON his audi

STRANGE DOG GIVES
RESIDENTS ALARM

A strange dog caused considerable
interest among number OF residents
of East Fifth street Sunday morning
when it lay sick in the street during
the forenoon and attracted many of the
children passing on their way to
church and Sunday school. Many of
the residents fearing for the safety of
the children, kept the tots away from
the animal as it writhed in the street
and called the police station to have it
removed. Failing in this, telephone
call was sent to Mrs. Florence Janues,
president of the Humane society and
little later wagon appeared and
carted the animal away.

The sermon in the morning, preced-

With all Sundays repeated and varied

the sermon such comforting thoughts

the evangelist during the sermon in

Repentance is not simply sorry you

, Repentance is not simply sorry you
did wrong.
Sunday himself, many times, had felt
sorry in his hoyhood days, he confess
ed, when he had committed some
wrong; felt particularly keenly sorry
just at the time he saw his mother get
out the butcher knife and go to the
back yard where she prepared long,
stiff stick That was not repentance.
Repentance is not simply feeling sor-
ry and promising to do better
Resolutions are worthless except as
paving material, along with good in
tentions and in the same place where
the latter are used, intimated the
spea ker. He secuted the idea that
promising oneself to readjust their
moral self without spiritual consecra-
ton would avail--or prevail much long
er than the proverbial SNOWFALL, for
that matter. Concentration OF the
mind was not substitute for supplica-
ton for the soul and never would be.
GOD commands men everywhere to
repent" repeated again and again the
preacher. God is as a father but he
commands men everywhere to re-
pent.' Commands, not pleads, and he
has so made us that we know without
being told when we have sinned. We
always are troubled of mind when We
do wrong. There is no excuse for
wrong doing. The sinner is rebel and
a rebel must make unconditional sur
render to God. There is no other way.
A man without regard for our pet
cats is Billy Sunday.

Repentance when courage is high is
that which is to be desired.
Repentance is not conviction.

all is not well with his soul; may see
himself clearly and at the same time
see clearly what he should do in atone
ment and reconsecration. People of
