The speaker urged the necessity
for putting aside the bad habits which
might hinder them in the Christian
race. Said he: at is Gods wish that
you become the finest men and best
women possible. Give up the things
that would spoil your body. I'd be

eyes on Christ. You've everything to

Listen! | never was in city in

wouldn't have such difficulty. Why,
before my father could read, he could
pray! And if you want to know Of
his success on five continents l will
tell you it was because he tried to

Here Mr.. Smith related a story
which occurred in England during
one Of his fathers meetings, showing
the conversion of an entire family
through the prayers of the mother.
She first became converted and then
brought four of her children to
Christ in one week. But her husband
and eldest son were still unsaved.
She prayed that they might be and
saw both of them converted. If you

SECTIONAL CRY RAISED.
Republicans Appeal To Old Prejudices
Down With South


Washington, Sept. 1S-For the first
time in generation serious sec
tional issue has been raised in a nat
ional campaign, and has been raised
by the political party which was Great
ed and dedicated to the proposition
that there are no political sections
in this country.
Reproach is being heaped upon the
Democratic party because the South
has furnished -thesleadezship- by which
The House and Senate are manned.
That party is being condemned be-
cause it has not boldly turned its back
upon Southern statesmen-not be-
cause these statesmen were unworthy
of confidence, not because they were
unpatri6tic or Intellectually unequip-
red for great national service, but
simply Because they were southerners.
In the absence of great issues, the
Republican campaigners have seized
upon the fact that many Congress
sional committees are headed by
Southern Democrats and many Cabi-
net officials come from the same sec
ton, as reason why Woodrow Viii
son should not be reelected and a
Democratic majority returned to the
House and Senate.
AT the outset, this sectional cry
this savage assault upon the South
came from unrecognized source. No
body of real responsibility stood foY
it, and nobody of consequence paid
any attention to it. The same shout
had been raised before by itinerants
in both parties, but their clamor had
amounted to nothing. But the situa-
ton has now changed. 'Down with
slogan of the Republican party. It's
spokesmen and its organs have join
ed in the hue, and ancient prejudices
and animosities are being invoking in
an effort to save the Hughes candi-
dacy from collapse.

PLAIN TRUTHS FOR THOSE
WHOSE EXAMPLE HURTS THE CHURCH
Sermon on obedience" Saturday Night Commands Close
Attention of Large Congregation Chdren's Choir a
Pleasing Feature of Service

Alexandria has $50 of the finest,
most promising young singers :
those which made up the Children's
Choir at the Saturday evening re-
vival service - of which any city
could boast. The Gazette is proud Of
them and their parents and friends
surely ought to be. That their eff
forts were appreciated by the au-
dience was clearly shown by the
splendid applause accorded them.
They sang like trained veterans, al
though only youngsters fom seven to
fourteen years old. The singing of
"The Red, White and Blue, with
the appearance of the Boy Scouts car
rying flags brought the entire con-
gregation to their feet.
Every hand in the tent went up
when a call was made by Evangelist
Smith for vote of thanks for the
little people.
"Obedience" was the theme at the
Saturday evening service, the story
of the lame man at the pool of ST.
loan being used as an illustration.
"Why didn't the people of Jerusa-
lem concern themselves about him?
I know. It's for the same reason you
haven't got down On your knees and
prayed for the salvation of people
your friends-here in Alexandria =
indifference!
"When church members quit play
ing cards and take the right stand
against it, therell be no more gamb-
ling, When they stop dancing they'll
stop making prostitutes.
81 could write the history of all
this in Alexandria in just one word
Indifference! If you are not what
you should be, it's because other
things have crowded in between you
and God. AS long as you treat sin
like cream puff, there'll be no wax
ing up, Your. boys and girls are fine,
but if some of them were called to-
night they would go to Christless
eternity, because their mothers have
never spoken to them about their
souls. They have been more concern
ed about social relations than their
children's souls salvation.
''You and have in our hands the
power to stand as mediators between
God and our friends. wouldn't dare
ask these children (referring to the
choir of $50 boys and girls) how
many have family prayer in their
homes. / wouldn't want to embar
rass you. Nothing will melt the heart

them. Oh, that we could realize that

be cured, so we are too proud to
humble ourselves to God.
"You may be man of great po-
litical power, You may carry the
voting populace of this country be-
hind you. You may be a good iath-
er and husband. But do not care
how much power you have, if you
turn down God you are leper.
"There are some of these moral
lepers here today, who are so FREEDOM
mated by sin that if they should
die it would be an insult to ask a
preacher to conduct a ritual over
their bodies.
"I may make some of you mad, and
1 may start some of you to thinking.
In either case I am glad for have
made progress. 1t is not the preach
er's place to come before you and say
pleasant things. It is the preachers
duty to tell the plain and unvarnished
truth, and to do all in his power to
make of each of you follower OF
Christ.
Here the evangelist told tile story
of Melvin Carter, who took the
shoes from the feet of his dead baby
and pawned them for drink, but who
afterward became converted and a
preacher of the gospel, said he:
81 don't care how far you have
gone, you can come back. Vile and
full of sin as my life has been, I~can
preach gospel that can change you
before you leave this tent tonight!
"Some of you Alexandrians may
think that because you were born in
Virginia you don't need to be born
again. Some of you may think more
of Georges Washington than Jesus
Christ. You can talk about long
list of ancestors, but on Jesus Christ
your tongues seem to be tied! But
God won't take any stock in your
story. You'll have to go the cross
with the lowest hoboe, Granted that
you are a good husband, or a good
wife, as the world judges, but in
the eyes of God, because Of sin
you're leper! GOD won't give you
clear bill of health when you ought
to be down at the quarantine station
flying the yellow flag! Naaman drop
ped his pride and went down in the
old muddy Jordon and was made
clean and you too, may be made
clean if you will. Will you come?
I've done the best l could to win you
for Christ. No one knows what this
service has cost me tonight. I plead
with you to give your hearts to Jesus
Christ"

Notes and Announcements

A prayer: meeting for men only will
be held tonight at 7:30 at the South
ern Methodist Church, also one at the
Baptist church in Del Ray.
The inquiry has been made: Why,
after nursery tent with nurses has
been provided, will mothers persist in
taking crying infants into the SER
vices at the big tent and disturb both
preacher and audience? All normally
constructed people love children dear
ly, but-well, reader you finish the
sentence.
No services this evening at the
tent. They will be held there every
other evening, however.
