night were disposed to minimize the
Importance Of the movement of al
legged Villa sympathizers across the

ACCIDENT At
iowa FALLS; one man KILLED

CINE struck the Standard Oil Com
pany's gasoline tank-truck, being
driven by the driver in haste to get
across the track ahead of the train.
The compact exploded the gasoline
and the driver was burned to death
in a most horrible manner! The
flames extended over the sides of the
engine and both engineer and fire.
man were burned, although not Sc
.verely.
The engine was put out of COM
mission by the flames and a freight
engine was attached to No. 10 to
make the rest of the run. Passengers
from Iowa Falls report the frightful
affair as n of the most dreadful
things ever witnessed there. The
accident seems to have been wholly
caused by the effort of the truck
driver to cross ahead of the ap-
preaching train, an effort which
ended only in disaster and death.
Our United Press dispatches this
afternoon give the dead mans name
as Joe Taylor.

The Final Service Was Held in the
Big Tabernacle Sunday Night
Party 60 From Here
to Ohio.
HUNDREDS BID PARTY GOODBYE
Between $4,000 and $4,000 is Raised
for Thank Offering for the
Party.

The services Sunday at the tab
ernacle began with a lively song
service that filled all hearts with
sunshine. History again repeated
itself, for Dr.. Bromley kept the best
of the wine till the end of the feast.
This was in the form of two SPLEEN
did sermons in the afternoon and ev-
ening. The morning service was
given over to the raising of the Of
fering for DR.. Bromley and his par
ty.
Brothers Todd and Metcalf were
the first to occupy the speakers plat
form at the morning service.
Rev. Metcalf, who has the happy
faculty of saying just the right word
at the right time, said in a vein of
humor, that there was going to be a
duet. He spoke of the fraternal re-
lations among the ministers of the
city and said that he had fallen in
love with the two new ministers,
ETC., who recently came to Webster
City.
Rev. Todd spoke of himself as the
baby of the preachers, that is in
point of length of service in the city.
Rev. Metcalf then spoke of the splen-
did corps of workers and what their
coming has meant to u city. The
appeal was then made for Webster
City people to show their apprecia-
tion for the work done in a concrete
way. The two platform men who
had this in charge are to be COM
mended for the splendid way they
handled it. They acted as if they
really enjoyed it. Each had a smile
that could be seen and felt to the
real of the tabernacle.
Following are a few remarks from
the afternoon sermon by DR.. Brom-
ley:
This is the era of the Holy Spir-
it. The plan of God has a large
place for the Holy Spirit. You will
have to be on fire for God if you are
going to help these new converts.
Wesley said, give me one hundred
men who fear nothing but sin and
! will move old England and he
did. If you don't get forgiveness of
sins you are a gone gossling. A man
may be baptissd and go to the devil
if he does not repent of his sins. 1t
is a great mistake for us to neglect
the innerlife. We ought to give God
the best. There are some who par
take of the sacrament and use their
lips to profane the name of God.
Some people want to do as little as
possible. Gods plan is for me to
preach the gospel, lot to amend it.
A lot of people want us to prostitute
the gospel to satisfy their carnal
hearts," The sermon was an elo-
quent appeal for spirit filled lives.

the Bromley tabernacle last night

CLOSING OF THE BROMLEY
CAMPAIGN IN WEBSTER CITY

erful sermon on the sin that is unto
death. He warned people to turn to
God now and not cross the dead line
where they would lose their desire
to become Christians. Resistance to
the gospel appeal now makes resist
ance easier the next time the invita-
ton comes. Over against the law
there is. the gospel; over against
Gods mercy is his justice; over
against heaven is hell. There is a
hell and you have got to face it. The
universe could not be well balanced
without retribution for sin.
The evangelist believes that no
amount of word juggling and twist
ing of scripture can abolish the
thought of eternal punishment from
the scriptures. He believes that as
Jesus, the teacher of love, had the
most to say about hell and eternal
punishment, a preacher could not be
true to Christ's spirit and leave this
doctrine out of his preaching. 1t is
an act of love to warn people of what.
Christ warned them, and not attempt
to cover the terrible chasm with
beautiful flowers, till men fail to see
the danger. The evangelist spoke of
the law of acceleration in a mans
course downward until he m to
a place where he loses the capacity
of appreciation for spiritual things.
The sin unto death is spiritual sui
eide, declared the evangelist in a
strong appeal for his hearers not to
some upon whose hearts a sermon
twenty years ago made a wonderful
impression, but now a sermon fails
to move them. They have come to a
place where they are past feeling.
The audience was very quiet and
at the close Of the sermon a large
number, moved by the appeal and
the solemnity of the hour, went to
the front.
DR.. Bromley said he had no SYM
pathy with the higher critics that
would take away our Bible and give
us nothing in its place. He has no
time for Unitarianism that denies
the deity of Jesus. He mentioned
the fine union spirit that prevailed
and hoped this spirit would con-
tinue. He thanked all who had help
ed in any, way to make the meeting
a success. He did not leave out al
single individuaE ~ r-~ !
A birds eye view of DR.. Bromley's|
preaching causes one to see the great
outstanding facts of his ministry.
/. He is in earnest: that he is
sincere no n can doubt.
2. He takes the mask off of sin
that all may see the hideous features
and turn away. He is opposed to
worldliness in all it's forms.
8. He has a firm conviction about
the inspiration of the Bible and has
no sympathy with any attempt to
discredit it as the rule and guide of
faith and practice.
4. He believes implicitly in the
deity of Christ and that He is the
all sufficient Savior of the world.
5. He believes that the church,
in spite of its faults, is the best in
stitution on earth today. He believes
it's mission is to convert men and
nourish and cause them to grow in
the Christian life.

HATCHETT QUITS

Attorney c. c. Hatchett, chairman
of the City Water Commission, sew
eral days ago handed his resignation
to the City Council, and as yet no
successor has been appointed, This
commission, composed of three men,
Messrs. G. c. Hatchett, S. w. Stone,
and G. B. Malone, gave the city their
time and efforts free of charge in an
effort to help place the water depart
ment on a paying basis, rather than
on losing basis, which had been the
order of things for years. The COM
mission was to make its recommenda-
tions to the Council, and, as things
started out, the Council was to act
almost entirely upon those sugges-
tions, and did so, except on one oc-
casion, following which Mr.. Hatchett
handed in his resignation. The COM
mission has introduced a great deal
of system into the department to take
the place of chaos, and in a very
short time had made much progress
in stopping leaks in the expense ac-
count and in making the department
more efficient.

FILTER TROUBLE

The old filter trouble broke loose
in Durant again few days ago, and
those people so unfortunate as to
have to depend entirely on city water
were compelled to drink much mud
and slime. Water superintendent
Parkinson and his force finished the
cleaning up of the filter Wednesday
night and it should furnish clear wat
er from now on. AS the superintend-
ent explained the muddy water, the
river took a rise and caught the fill
tration workmen unawares. Mr.. Per-
kinson agrees with others who have
Investigated, that this filtration plant
for which the city paid lots of good,
hard cash, is wholly inadequate for
the uses intended. Until recently 1t
was the practice not to use the filter
while Blue was clear, but always
when the river rose and the water be-
came muddy, the filter failed to fill
ter. The present management will
operate the filter continuously here
after.
