TINE REVIVAL.

Sunday was day marked with
Victory at the revival meeting.
Another record breaking attend
ance greeted the teachers at the
bible school. The morning SER
mon on ''The Lords Supper" was
one of the most important so far
in the campaign. The subject
was not discussed from purely
doctrinal point of view, as is
sometimes the case, but in a
practical way which emphasized
1.-THE Importance of the ordinance
and brought out its real spiritual
values.
| In the evening an audience
which taxed the seating capacity
lof the building assembled. The
people sang the old familiar
songs that everybody loves in
way to inspire all hearts. Mr..
Farley spoke on 1.-THE Great Con-
fession." He said: There are
three great reasons why every
man ought TO put himself on rec
ord as standing forth square for
Christ and the church.
| First, for a personal reason.
| 1t helps him to live the kind OF
fife he wants to live. If you are
!, a believer there is only one reason
why you ought not to take your
| stand for Christ, and that is be-
cause you are not man enough.
/ Most any kind of two-by- four
good for nothing fellow can serve
the devil and make a success of
it, but it takes real man to be
| q Christian and make a success of
that. The confession puts you
on record and so protects you
against temptation. Men honor
4 your stand and wish they had tho
courage to make it,
Second, for humanitarian
reason. 1t helps the cause. You
have an influence and there is
power in numbers. Christianity
lis an unselfish matter. 1t is not
"a fire escape alone. 1t is that,
but must be more. The man who
lis interested in his own saliva
ton only is not worth saving and
! is on his road to hell You can't
sit around and soak up salvation.
You must let your light shine out
for God. Some people backslide
4 by migration, Their religion will
! not stand change of climate.
So when they move they carry
their religion in the trunk in the
form of a church letter and then
are afraid to give it up in their
new home. That kind of a spirit
iual pedigree soon gets too dry to
stand the fires of the other world.
If that's your brand you had bet
ter have it brought up to date.
Third, God teaches us to con-
fess Him. He says with the
mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
| Tonight will be mems night
again The men will sit in a re-
served section. The sermon sub
iject will be 1.-THE Full Grown
Man" Mr.. Sansbury will read

for governor regarding his stand

Miss Wieser was born with a love Of
art, and learned how to draw we'll in
early childhood. She is the daughter
of the late Louis Wieser, a portrait
painter. who, graduating in his art
in Munich. came as young man to
this country. which offered wider field
for the exercise of his talent. He
painted many portraits. many OF them
now hanging in The public buildings
throughout the country. including the
National Capitol at Washington.
The daughter early evidenced talent.

applied for work in the government

Miss Wieser's work is mainly done in

fossil specimens must be enlarged to
be properly inspected. She has also
