'Gets-It,' it's just wonderful how easy,

your sock on right over it-theres
nothing to stick or roll up. form a
bundle on your toe, or press on the

the Man of Nazareth.
Before beginning his sermon, the
evangelist had some amusement
which was shared by eyerybody-when
he asked how many persons had been
born on the farm. Many were the
hands that went roof-ward. "That's
fine" chuckled Scoville. The crowd
laughed.
"Well, that's the truth" he said.

farm any day than ten years in the

Charles Reign ScoviIle, his face wet
with sweat and his collar sagging,
stood before a great audience last
night and eXhorted the non7christians
to take their stand for the Nazarene.

Rev. Beardsley's drumming was a
feature of the meeting. He marched
into the shed with staccato step, his

head and his mouth clamped determ-

vibrate with It's applause. Later, i'm

his own prowess with the sticks, DR..
Scoville took up the drum and beat
time to volunteers for Jesus" Then
Mr.. Stewart tried the drum, and with
success That is, with something like
the same degree Of success attained
by the evangelist.
A delegation of about forty persons
