blessings upon him. So great was this
meeting that women, men, boys and
girls were sorry to see the revival
close. Not only are the members of
st. Stevens Baptist Church proud of
man like Rev. Hurse but the COM
munity at large for he had indeed
helped to make Kansas City better
place in which to live. He has helped
to better the condition of many homes
for many men and women through his
! instructions leading better lives. Some
of the most effective sermons preached
were "The Eagle Stirring His Nest"
Five Great Days." OBSTRUCTION
Train" Going to a Better Land"
Escape for Your Life, the Storm is
Coming" Dead Child Sneezed Seven
Times" Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather each night,
the church was crowded and much
good was derived from cottage pray
er services. And prodigals who were
astray willingly consented to arise
and go home. Not only did Rev.
Hurse make plain the word OF God
each night for three weeks, but he
demonstrated that he was one of the
great singers of Israel.
DIR. Hurse believes in the old, true
and tried way of conducting revivals
that when a sinner comes to the
mourner's bench seeking salvation
that he be allowed to stay through
faith and humble prayer until saliva
tion breaks in his saul and he arises
of his own free will rejoicing and tell
ing what the Master has done for him.
AS the readers of the Sun well know,
in every great forward movement to
benefit the race, DR.. Hurse is In the
forefront and whether it is to bury
the penniless dead, to relieve the
wants of a distressed widow or
orphan children or whether it is to
prosecute some criminal or whether
it is to show his people how to vote
on men and measures affecting their
interests, Dr. Nurse can always be
relied upon to do the right thing at the
right time. He is in great demand
both as a preacher and a public
speaker and now has upon his desk
invitations to conduct a great revival
in the largest and best Baptist church
of Nashville, beginning the 5th Of
March, and also deliver a sermon for
the knights of Pythias at Richmond
the 21st.
We pray Gods blessings upon this
great leader and preacher that his
life may be prolonged many years.
that he may continue his great work
in this city. where men of power and
courage and religious principles are
so much needed.

At the conclusion of DR.. Williams
description of the hanging he made an
impassioned appeal for men and wom-
en- who wanted to leave the paths of
sin and lead the better life to come
forward and kneel with him at the al
tar in prayer and forty-two men and
women came crowding to the altar,
seven of whom Immediately connected
themselves with the church. The edi-
tor of the Sun who was present was
called on for few remarks in which
he reviewed the splendid work Dr.
Williams has done during his pastor
ate, after which a collection of seven
ty dollars was lifted for the church.
Ebenezer has one of the best choirs

When the deputy asked if he had
anything to say, he said, Il am happy;
am ready to 60" Then the black cap
was heastily adjusted over his head
which was an ordinary skull cap with
a black cloth sewed over it so that it
hung down over his face and head, his
arms were securely strapped, once at
his wrists, again at his elbows and
then across his chest. The deputy
stepped back and said, "All ready;
the one at the lever said in reply,
When; the first deputy loudly said
Now" In second the lever was
thrown, Robinsons body shot through
a trap and his soul into eternity.

"THE REPRlEvE THAT NEVER
CAME"
A Vase Congregation Numbering over
1,2oo Filled Every Inch Of Available
Space In the chunch.-Hundreds
Were Turned Away.

On last Sunday night, Dr. w. c.
Williams the popular and talented pas
tor of Ebenezer, A. NJ. E. church
preached a graphic and impressive ser.
mon from the scenes and incidents
connected with the execution Monday
week ago of Wesley Robinson who
was hanged for the murder of his wife
and daughter. Before seven o'clock
every seat in the spacious auditorium
was filled and at half past seven when
the pastor arose to begin service
standing room was at a premium.
Seats were placed in the lecture room,
the choir stand, the chancel, and doz-
ems sat around the pulpit railing and
finally the ushers were compelled to
turn away large numbers who could
not gain admission. DR.. Williams was
one of the four ministers who accom-
panied Robinson to the scaffold and
as he narrated the story step by step
and incident by incident the silence
that pervaded the auditorium and the
auditors indicated that they were
drinking in every word of this CHASTITY
narrative. After the usual prelimin.
aries Dr. Williams said in part:
On last Saturday by permission of
Judge Lathshaw we visited Robinson
in the death cell and we talked to
him about his hope and he said he ex.
pected reprieve Saturday night or
not later than Sunday.
On Monday l asked him if he had
any message to give to the people. e.
He said only this, tell them to meet
me in heaven"

What THE FLY IS

There is just one living thing, it
seems, which PERFORMS not single
useful function in the scheme of
the universe. 1t is that creature
best known as the house fly but
more rightly known as the typhoid
fly. He was formerly supposed to
he scavenger that destroyed de-
,structive microbes or germs in de-
composing matter, but we know
, better now. We know that he de-
stroys nothing but life, health and
happiness, that he spreads microbes
/. wherever he goes, and leaves disease
. and death along his trail,
) AS we know more about the fly,
about his filthy habits, his breeding
place and the disease carrier that
he is, we have come to regard him
as fitting in the universal scheme
Of things only as a danger signal, as
warning Of filth and disease. We
3: know now that wherever he is,
/ where he tarries, there is food for
,: him. and what is food for him, IS
! poison for people. We should be
;. suspicious Of any place where flies
swarm or tarry. We should take
J them as danger signals and avoid
j their objects Of attraction, whether
they be the restaurant, the hotel
he grocery store, the market or the
. butchers shop.-The Health Bull

we would build our home, when all

OF our living in the country than OF

During succeeding weeks life be-

The thought OF their vanished para

1t was about three weeks after this

1t took several minutes to convince
Harold Of her earnestness.

Yes answered Harold gleefully.

They had never been greatly set on
