a more powerful and better wea-
pom than the 11-inch and 12-inch
guns OF similar type now in use

nearly ten miles. 1t is planned to
create two new heavy artillery
regiments next year, each to be
equipped with II OF the guns and
eventually to have every army

by regiment of 9.5-inch How
tiers.
In the Fifth and Ninth regi.
ments, the army already has two
heavy artillery commands, equip
ped with 4.I-inch rifles and 6-incf
HoWitzers. The Ninth is a new
regiment now i'll process of or

THE GOSPEL MEETING

Great interest is being mani
tested in the Gospel Meeting
which begins at the Central
Christian Church next Sunday
morning.
Services will be held through
the week, beginning at eight
O clock. This will give time for
business people to close at the
usual time and get to church in
time for the song service which
promises to be a big feature of
these meetings. The business
men will not be asked to close
their stores nor to sacrifice any
of the employees time to this
lrleeting.
The whole service will be short
about an hour altogether. The
sermons will be scriptural, logi-
cal, concise, direct and forceful.
You cannot afford to miss these
services regardless of your church
affiliations or convictions.
The formation of the chorus is
progressing very satisfactory I'm
der the direction of DR.. Turner,
who expects to have everything
in readiness for the Song Leader,
Leroy St. John, who will arrive
either Friday or Saturday.
You are cordially invited to all
these services.
