BASEL. Switzerland. Sept. 7.-Via
Paris 1.-The aerial botnbardment of Saar-
bruecken. recorded In yesterdays official
statement from the French office. was
probably the most notable operation OF
its kind during the war.
Forty French and British war aero
planes circled low over the town and
accurately threw bombs on the small
arms factory, the barracks, the railway
station, the engine sheds and other mill
hary buildings. Several hundred yards OF
railroad trackage were destroyed and
many recruits in the barracks were killed
or wounded.
saarbruecken is not provided with ar
tillery for high angle fire, and an
armored train that had been summoned
from Metz. bringing aerial guns on
trucks, arrived too late to interfere with
ahe operations of the aviators.
All forty aeroplanes, after dischargtng
about 400 projectiles. returned safely to

Further Needs of Religious
ReUiUaI Are GiUen by Sunday

Billy Sunday, az the tabernacle Tues
day evening speaking on the need of
religious rcvivals, said:
Listen to me. In the economy OF
nature God provides for an occasional
copious downpour Of rain. You would
be fool to growl because 1t didn't rain
all the time. God has arranged his splr-
itual kingdom so that he has copious
downpour OF spiritual blessings, God is
rolling In spiritual wealth as we'll as
material. 1t Is not thought unwise to
have a revival In business, Oh, no-every
town has its Commercial dub, II Is not
thought unwiso to have revival In
politics-oh, no.
"Somo people arc scared to death that
somebody might DO saved from hell by
out-of-the-ordinary methods.
Political leaders will hire leaders,
newspaper editors, publishers and will
spend money for Noters-in order to get
those who are indifferent to the political
situation interested-that Is nothing ur-
der heaven but n political revival and you
don't hear anybody growl about IT,
I'm the business world. listen. In the
business world man must mako the mar
ket IA well as the goods for the market
He must make the goods. then he goes
into the market. He's got to do both.
You've got all these institutions to create

they are auto revivals-you have country
fairs which are nothing but revivRls
whore they show cows, pigs, chickens,
bread, butter. horses and all the products
of the earm. Then what the revival Is
to business. what the election is TO poll
tics, the revival Is to relgion; what
health is to the individual the revival
is to religion. Martin I.uther saved Eu-
rope from spiritual death-a spiritual

cause of the Reformation, nothing but

Of Pentecost was born in religion In a

The first weekday afternoon
meeting in the Sunday tabernacle
saw the auditorium of the building
a little more than half filled and no
one on the platform except a num-
ber of ministers and their wives and
less than fifty in the choir chairs.
The audience was estimated at $500.
But this was no disappointment to
those in charge. In fact, IL was said
to be a good showing for weekday
afternoon when most people are at
work. In Des Moines the weekday
afternoon meetings we're not nearly
so well attended, especially at the
start Of the campaign. The choir is
never used at the afternoon meetings
except on Sundays.
The sun beating down on the vast
low roof of the building made the
temperature high inside. Most Of
the men in the audience took off
their coats.

of its indifference to the evil OF the
world.
II am amazed as go up and down In

Of the Christian people," he declared
They see people all around them that
are going to hell and never try to stop
them"
He delivered straight shots at the
church people and attacked their short
cominss.

Don't job-iot your sins in praying" he
said. Make list OF them and pray
God to deliver you from them one by
one"
He was especially bitter and contemptu-
ous against the proud and the envious
Drawing himself up and with a lordly
gesture of the hand. he haughtily ex-
claimed;
Get out Of my way, Ford. drive a

Then ne laughed and shook his head
