EVANGELIST SPEAKS ON
THE HISTORY OF A FOOL
Another Interested Audience Hears
tagan Preach Splendid sermon II
Christian church.

Another interested audience was
present last night for the beginning oil
the third week of the revival meetings
at the Christian church. Following
the song service Mrs. Fagan sans Ell
fectiveiy, Does Jesus Care?" Evan
gelist Pagan spoke on THE History
of a Fool He based his sermon on
the parable of the rich fool as re-
corded in Luke IL, Among other
things he said, ut is a serious matter
to call a man a fool and most men
resent it, In this parable God saws.
Thou Fool When God speaks we
ought to take notice. Let us study
this parable and see wherein this man
Went wrong. The ground of a GER
tain rich man brought forth plentiful
~. There is no harm in good crops.
The mans occupation is all right. You
can't measure a mans character by
the length of his bank account. He
reasoned within himself There is
no harm in this, God wants men to
reason. Come let us reason togeth-
err says the Lord, though youT sins
be red like crimson they shall be as
wool If men would stop and reason
for a little while on the question of
salvation, of them would be
Christians. This is the psychology
of revival meetings. That we may get
people to concentrate for a little while
on religion.
s,,
h mans reasoning was wrong.
It was characterized by selfishness.
He failed to see the lonely widow and
the hungry orphan. He had too
much, while many around him did not
have enough. And this is a picture
of conditions in many places today.
There is something wrong with a So
cial system that permits such condi-
tions, He said Thou hast much
goods laid up for many years He
was a fool because he failed to real
ize that though he could lay up goods
he could not lay up a single hour Of
time, No man has any mortgage on
tomorrow, For we know not what
the morrow may bring forth.
But his greatest mistake was that
he failed to reckon with God. Oh,
how many in Pendleton are making
this same mistake tonight. They are
money blind or amusement crazy. A
man may go so far, but sooner or lat
err there a time when God takes
a hand. 1T is appointed unto man
once to die and then cometh the
Judgment
Jesus applies this parable to those
who make the same mistake. He
says, so is everyone that layeth up
treasure for himself and is not rich
toward God The main thought of
the parable is prepare to meet thy
Cod. To those who neglect this prep
a~ration God says. Thou Fool!'"
The subject for tonight is what
Must l do to Be Saved?" This is IN
old subject. but the evangelist prom
ises to present it in a new dress. Mrs.
Pagan will sing again one of her best
solos, All who attend are asked 20
read Acts 16.

dent will not in the least mind
the silly insults being hurled at

If these poor losers imagine
they can accomplish the win

best answer to such stuff is
presented by the spectacle of

H MACHINE SUP
PORT

m HE New York World, in
W an editorial Nov. 8. re-
fers to the probable
treachery of Tammany in con-
nection with Wilson support
and says Tammany is dead as
an effective organization.
That Tammany did betray
the president seems obvious,
The usual democratic majority
from New York city would
have placed the empire state in
the Wilson column. The ma
Ijority was not forthcoming.
Much the same might be said
regarding Indiana and Illinois.
Those states are grouped as
doubtful. Why were they not
carried by Wilson when the
trend all over the nation was
WilSonward?
1t is possible of course that
active work by the Hughes or
CARNATIONS, fortified with
ample funds, may have turned
the tide in those states. But it
seems no far fetched dream
that there may have been a
connection between the Hughes
forces and the democratic ma
chimes in the three pivotal"
states. Lending color to the
theory is the recollection or
how Murphy fought Wilson at
Baltimore and of how he was
numerically grilled by Bryan
at that time. AS president,
Wilson has never catered to
nor to Taggart ana
Sullivan. Hence it was not
logical to expect ardent sup
port from those men. The
situation was such as to be
ideal for those desiring to Grip
pie the president by reaching
these machines. That they
were tempered with in some
manner is very easy to believe.
1t is the most logical explana-
ton for the fact a countrywide
slump from Hughes to Wilson
did not apply in three states
where it was the most to be ex-
pected.
But whether or not Wilson
was turned down by the state
machines in New York, Indiana
and Illinois, it is a fact he was
elected without those Organiza-
tons and it makes the victory
all the more brilliant.

Good-oy, Alan. GLEN.
Alan sat in the circle Of light from
the hanging lamp and stared into the
darkness. From the river came the
sound Of sucking mud, then a heavy
tread. A monster hippo blundered
through the bushes in search of food.
On the other side Of the tree trunk the
Zanzibari was snoring. The fires were
burning out at the mems camp. Once
more the odor Of their bodies hung in
the air.
Alan arose and dragged his chair to
the outer edge Of the mango tree. He
sat down and with hands locked and
elbows on knees gave himself up to
memory. He forgot the sounds and
smells Of Africa, the black-green Of
overhanging leaves, the black shadows

silky and tough they picked out the
seeds with care and boarded them. for
their time was not yet. One duty

idly.
One morning Gerry looked up from
his labor to find mounted figure lust
behind him. An elderly man of florid
face sat restive stallion of Arab
strain. The strangers note was opu-
lence. From his Panama hat, thin and
light as paper, to his silver spurs and
the sllver-mounted harness of his
horse, wealth marked him. He was
dressed In white linen and his fiaripg,
glossy riding-boots OF embroidered
Russian leather stood out from the
white clothes and the whittier sleeps

telling effect. In his hands was a
silver-mounted rawhide quirt. His
face was grave, his eyes blue and kind

Gerry started opening the sluice
gates, the lowest nrst. The water CUR
gisd out into the main trench and from
thsre was distributed. At first the
thirsty soil swallowed it greedily but
gradually the rills stretched farther
and farther down into the valley. Un-
der the blazing sun they looked like
SHsams of molten silver and gold.
HArgarita came running up to them
from the house. Gerry put his arm
around her and made her face the val
Icy. Then he looked at the girl and
smiled. She smiled back at him but
trouble was still in her eyes.
Gerry left her to start on the work
ef ntting the pondsrous sluice-gate of
hswn logs that he had prepared for
the mouth Of the great ditch. 1t was a
triumph Of ingenuity. He never could
have evolved 1t without the aid of a
giant ironwood wormscrew taken from
ths wreck of cotton press. The screw
was % heavy that he and Bonifacio
could hardly carry II.
