ONLY TWO MORE
weeks OF REVIVAL
EVANGELIST PHELPS TAeER.
NAcLE MEETINGS At EDDY
WILLIE CLOSE SHORTLY.

Eddyville. March 21.-(Special Cor.
respondence) The men of Eddyville
who packed the tabernacle to hear
Lucky Baldwin, the one time former
crook Of New York's old bowery, will
never forget the story he told of his
former life and Of his conversion. They
listened spellbound, and never in their
lives before did they get such an in
sight into the awful life of the under
world. Evangelist Phelps delivered
strong messages to the mixed audi
dences Saturday and Sunday nights,
but gave them first an opportunity to
hear Lucky" OF course he reveals
far more of the past to an audience Of
men, only but he also went deeply into
accounts of the old life, which has
been transformed into such glorious
new life, when he addressed briefly
the crowds who packed the tabernacle
on Saturday and Sunday nights. Seven
years ago Lucky" went into the Jerry
Cauley rescue mission and to put it in
his own words, There wasn't two
inches of my flesh that wasn't cut,
bruised and bleeding and l knew the
police were after me. Christ wonder
fully saved me that night. I couldn't
read nor write and had face on me
like the bark of tree. Slim, l was
lost that night and knew it. Thank
God for the man who knows he's lost
can't describe the environment l liv-
ed In You couldn't picture it if did.
had to face the crowd on the bowery
after my conversion and some of us
came to blows. I thought the way to
make them accept Christ was to give
them wallop over the mug. Slim,
take Jesus into your life-it's letter
Of credit anywhere in the world. l
don't know anything about theology.
i don't know any more about it than
a hog does about filling gold teeth. The
thing for me to do after was convert
ed was to stay from theological school
and take soup. So did. Later on
when / met Nell Trotter he says,
Lucky, know you're not two faced or
you wouldn't be wearing the one you
have Praise God, l can read and
write now. When was converted l
was so thin I could go through the
eye of needle without shaving me
hips but look at me now. Slim, look
like rag picker with pack on his
back walking backwards"
Evangelist Phelps requested LUCKY |
to give an idea of his work among the |
ex-convicts and the men still in the
pen and there wasn't a stir in the audi
ence when Lucky told them about 1t.
He said that 70 per cent of the men
who come to his mission are rural
boys. He warns against the use of
whisky and said, 1T isn't your last
drink that makes you drunkard, it's
YOUR first" He hopes none of the
folks out here will ever come to his
except as visitors. Lucky's
mission is located at 919 Wells ST.,
Chicago.
Evangelist Phelps is drawing big
crowds nightly. Only two more weeks
left to hear him. Come on over.
