Nor was the response of the congre-
cation and many OF the exclamations
came from the section In which 1900 Odd
fellows OF Delaware were seated
Doctor Lyon then called for prayers
by the people OF Wilmington today for the
great temperance movement in Trenton.
Wouldn't 1t be grand" he continued,
IT this little State Of Delaware should
lead In the temperance movement as
we'll as In the religious movement and
take definite stand on prohibition. and
by so doing let its radiance shine upon
ithe surrounding States? You can do 1t,
land | pray that you will grasp your op-
portunity."
Referring to his trip to Washington
Monday. the evangelist told his hearers
that Senator William S. Kenyon, of iowa,
and several of his colleagues in the
Senate had told him that the prohibition
bill for the District OF Columbia had been
taken out OF committee and that 1t would
be brought back before the Senate In n
very short time. Let your two Senators
from Delaware know where you stand on |

lantic City needs it most of all Praise
God that we have Mayor here who is
not ashamed to come out definitely on the
Lords side, and I hope that the people
of Atlantic City will realize now that in
elections the men with religious thoughts
should come to the foreground
Great preparations have been made for

Of such high class that many local

The big event OF the weeks program
Is the 2:08 trot, the Ohio stake with a
