"SeIf Starter Now.


Saturday night the old hand
cranked telephone services was
transformed into a new, up-to-
date "self starter" To be exact
the change took place about
1920 Saturday night. Every
little detail had been arranged
before hand, and when the Sat
urday nights rush was over, and
the business houses had closed,
the cut-over took place. Every
thing went without a hitch, and
Sunday morning the people of
Lexington were using the most
complete telephone system in the
state Of Missouri. Don't ring
any more, just lift the receiver,
and a sweet still voice will ask,
number, please" And don't
leave the receiver off of the
hook, for in that case you will be
deserving of a good %"cussin."

there were short courses in
home economics for the women
and special sections and meet
ings for the boys and girls. Ii
the afternoon were held the
meetings of fifteen of the state
associations of farmers and then
wives and in the evening specia
speakers provided by the State
Board of Agriculture spoke tx
audiences that filled the big au
ditorium of the University tt
its capacity.
Not counting Boone County
the county in which the meet
ings took place, Cooper Count,
sent the most persons, 141. Mex
comes Jackson County with Y
Audrain 70, Saline SO, Pettis 81

A Little Lay Sermon.

From the Kansas City Journal.
1t is an interesting study in
contemporaneous psychology to
observe the methods of the Rev.
BILLY" Sunday and the effects
produced by his dynamic slang.
But perhaps the most curious Of
all is the complaint of a Wash
.ington audience, which express
ed disappointment when a recent
sermon was couched in average
polite" English. Some of the
Westinghouse are quoted as
saying that the sermon was rath-
err stale, flat and improbable"
because it did not have enough
"Sundayisms" in it.
The faded appetite that Graves
"Sundayisms" is hardly to be ex-
pected to be appeased by the
tame declaration that IF Christ
came to Washington there would
be plenty of people in the nat
ional capital who would vote to
cruelty Him if He walked down
Pennsylvania avenue" Incl

dentally, that seems to be the
last word in whitening denuncia-
tion-the charge that the people
of this or that city would cruelty
the Savior if He came among
them. Whenever an exhorter
wants to get unusually emphatic
and aspires to the sensational,
he speculates eloquently upon
what would happen if Christ
came to this or that city. Many
a book has been written along
these lines, with variations run
ming all the way from Stead's
"If Christ Came to Chicago" to
Wright's THAT Printer of

IN their lives fulfill the mission Of
His coming and make the sacri-
fee Of Calvary the gladly paid
price OF mans salvation.
1t is not the noisy pulpit pound
ers who are preaching Christ
crucifed and carrying the real
gospel of salvation into the
hearts and lives of men. The loud
pulpiteers come and go. They
hold their c%arniyals of emotion,
their pious orgies of abandon
ment and establishment. They
churn the waters Of a city's life
into a froth; the m~aelstrom boils
before the widened and distend-
ed vision Of the more susceptible.
The spiritual passions are dashed
into an exaltation, a fever of
emotionalism' Souls are 'sav-
ed, IN the parlance OF the theo-
Logan. Then the emotionalist
moves on to the next town, and
conditions resume their normal
status. A few months or a year
thereafter hardly a ripple re-
mains OF the -tareXtendlng storm
that seemed to have started the
waves TO breaking upon the very
Iarthest shore OF the clty's life

mutt and the shouting dies and
