No Visible Results, But Sermons
Of Strength and Courage
We're Received by Christians.

The Rev. G. w. Hummell, Of Rus

after giving a series of most helpful
sermons at the Methodist church..
While no results were visible, the
meeting was benefit and a pleasure
to many. Through the entire week
Rev. Hummell continuously read the
scripture, prayed and preached so that
many were helped He gave lengthy
readings fromthe Bible. saying that all
the words he could say would not be as
great as those. He prayed in gratitude
that everywhere are found the few who
are faithful. One of the best sermons
he preached was about Job-not about
his patience but his triumph with
Christ over Satan. Job ia all his
Affections, he believed in God and
trusted him. His great belief made

have disappointments, failure in BUSH

husband who fails to meet the bills, a
wife who frets and worries, If you can
still keep love In your heart and know
that God is with YOU, you shall triumph.
If you are left on rock with no one,
but God, you are safe These are some
of the thoughts from his good sermon
about the man who is remembered for
his patience. Rev. Hummell said the
meanest words in the Eng lis b languag

all right If Cicero wanted to go, but he
did not think he was in condition to
take care of the child. Will Adkins
commanded his son to return with him,
but the boy objected This brought
cruel words which Frank Adkins re-
buked his brother severely. However,
I, they started off reconciled without Cic-
ero and invited their mother to come to
see them. AS they we're leaving, their
father said: "Boys, the next time you
come to my house, come sober and see
if you can behave yourselves" Stimuli
taneously the two men started toward
their father, who ran for his revolver.

him, the bullet entering his heart.
