Notwithstanding the disagreeablt
weather OF yesterday, the revival
meetings at the Christian church
started off I'm an enthusiastic way. A
large audience greeted the evange-
list both morning and evening. II
was a much larger attendance than
could have been anticipated for sue,
a day.
Mr.. Burgess pleased his hearers
nightly and they went away feeling
that the church was going to have a
good meeting. In the morning he
spoke about flaming the Flame
and urged the church people to be
loyal to Christ and the church.
II was Just such a sermon as every
church needs to arouse II to better
works and greater fidelity. At night
his message was concerning The
Terrific King" He dealt with Paul's
sermon before Felix In which the
apostle reasoned concerning right
eousness, self control and judg-
ment to come.
He showed why Felix trembled and
then wildly sketched the differences
between Paul and Felix in relation to
themes that are eternal. How Pau,
rejoiced in such and yielded to them
and how Felix trembled because his
life was not right.
A splendid chorus handled the mu-
sic both morning and evening. In
the morning Miss Volta Peterson
sang, The Name of Jesus. Oh! How
Sweet" The service tonight begins
at 7:45 and the sermon theme will

a fierce battle was on at the

yards distant from the nearest
positions of the French, Lieut..
jung, young Geaman officer,
cautiously raised his head to a
vintage point above the embank.
ment In order to watch the en-
eny's movements. No sooner
had he raised his eyes to a point
from where he could see than a
voice from the opposite trench
c:ied o,ti Lieut.. lung, be care

Amazed and startled, the Get
Han needed the warning and

short time later he raised up for
another look and once more was
warned By some one among the
French. This time he recognized
the voice. 1t was that of young
French business man who for
some time had worked in the Of
flee of the factory belonging to
Jung's father for the purpose of
studying German methods of
business. AT the outbreak of
the war he had hurried home TO
join the French army.
The Frenchman's warning had
undoubtedly saved the Germans
life. Though they met on the
field of battle as enemies, the
quarrel between their respective
countries had not served to lessen
the friendly feeling existing NUT
