FRIENDS CLOSE
Revival SERIES
WITH SUCCESS

With a splendid sermon last night
on the theme of The Victory of OPP
timism" closed the series of evangel-
istic meetings in the East Main st.
Friends church. A large audience of
about six hundred, in spite of the very
bad weather, greeted the Evangelist,
a splendid token of the high esteem
in which he is held by Richmond peo-
pie. A large number of people from
other churches have attended the
meetings, a fine spirit of fellowship
and cooperation. Mr.. Savers has made
for himself among us large place
as strong, fearless, preacher of fun
damental Gospel truth, honoring the
Scripture as the Word of God, and
calling men to a high standard of
Christian living, yet always In his
characteristic cheerful way that left
one liking him the more.
Our faces are pretty good indica-
tors of our character. Some people
look like the real thing on the outside
but are no good on the inside. would
rather be pure tin than counterfeit
gold. Hypocrites are counterfeit and
there are no hypocrites in heaven"
said the evangelist Saturday night.
The world loves fighter but de-
tests a dodger. The most monotonous
life in the world is doing the same old
sin over and over again"
Among the thoughts in the Sunday
morning sermon were:
I'VE crowd Jesus out of our lives
because we have less worthy guests
in our hearts There is no emphasis
on anything because we emphasize
too many things. The things of heaven
are the first things. These days tn.
world seems to have gone amusement
mad. Some people have gone so stale
on one another's hands that they have
to play with pasteboard cards to
amuse themselves"
Sunday night the evangelist said:
"The more efficient we become the
more optimistic we are. Sin lowers
our efficiency but in Christ we achieve
our highest and best. Faith laughs at
irnpossibiities and we must have
faith in God, in ourselves and in our
fellow mep. Any old thing can go
down hill but it takes a man to climb
up

Starr Runs Pumps.
Back water in the sewers caused the
necessity of working the pumps at the
Starr Piano company's buildings to
prevent the water running into the
easements. For the last two or three
days the pumps have been handled for
about fifteen minutes every two hours.
The water reached a stage of feet
and lacked about 9 inches of entering
the easements.
So far as known no record was made
of the height which was reached by
the river here but persons living in the
vicinity declare the river undoubtedly
rose to the highest stage since the
flood of 1918 This stage was reached
early this morning and soon after a
gradual recession began.

A Too Hasty Proposal.

Dear Miss Libbey: l am a man in
a serious dilemma. Here's the whole
story: While at a ball on Christmas
Eve, was introduced to a very pref
ty girl who hi accompanied crowd
of young folks there expecting to go
home the same way. / induced her to
permit me to escort her home, which
she did. Our route lay past min
ister's house. On the spur of the
moment, and more in a joke than in
earnest, I challenged her to go in with
me and get married. To my surprise
she took me at my offer, and-to
make a long story short-we were
made man and wife then and there.
When we reached her home and she
confessed what had taken place, there
and wisely refuse to trust themselves
was the worst row q fellow ever got
into. All my attempts to explain
were met by worse rage from her
father and mother. I'm sure ] don't
want her. I don't know how this is to
turn out. I telegraphed to my father
to come on, but he has not replied.
What shall I do? EDGAR II.

Dear Miss Libbey: / am a young
lady Of twenty-three, and greatly adj
mire young minister who has lately
come in our midst. 1 received a
handsome New Years card containing
a very sentimental and beautiful
verse. No name or initials accom-
panied it. / cannot think who it could
come from If not from him. / often
catch his eyes resting on me while
he is preaching. Now what want to
know is would it be proper for me
to send him a valentine when Feb
ruary Ia rolls around, signing my
name to it? EDITH d.
It would not be anniss to send the
young minister a valentine but be
sure to select one idealizing friend
ship, or something of that kind. Be
sure that it does not suggest love in
any shape or form, that you might
not feel embarrassed to learn your
sentimental card came from another
source. Be careful, too, about jump
ing at the conclusion you have cap
tured the ministerial heart. There's
probably a score of other girls in his
congregation thinking the same thing.
