IMMENSE CROWD
GREETS BALDWIN
CHICAGO CONVERT PROVES 4
GREAT ATTRACTION At THE
PHELPS REVIVAL.

Eddyville, March 90, Especial cor.
respondence.) Lucky" Baldwin OF
Chicago was greeted Sunday afternoon
by the largest crowd of men which has
assembled in Eddyville for many
years. The tabernacle was crowded
with men anxious to hear the message
which he brought and at the close OF
the meeting many accepted Christ as
their personal Saviour.
John Price of Ottumwa, Prof. Cheek,
Earl Roberts and w. s. Shinn sang
Lucky" gave a short talk Saturday
to the big crowd at the tabernacle and
they liked him immensely. He has
had wonderful conversion and tells
his story In the vernacular OF the
streets. Thought he detected a Whit
of something which is out of place In a
prohibition state. Here's what he said:
We've got whiskey In Chicago that
would make jack rabbit sit up or its
hind legs and spit in bull dogs face;
but one Whit of what you've got out
here would make you go home and kiss
your mother-in-law." Lucky can hold
an audience by the hour and when he
gets through, you know that it's real
and that the power of Christ Is real.
In spite of counter attractions in
town the tabernacle was practically
filed Friday and on Saturday night a
great crowd greeted Rev. Phelps as he
walked In with Lucky Baldwin.
Evangelist Phelps evidently has
been keeping the best until the last
for each night he gives something new
and interesting and shade better
than its predecessor. He says when
God wrote In his book, he showed the
shadows as well as the sunshine. the
dark spots as well as the high spots In
a mans life. Take David. for instance
and take courage also. The story OF
David should be a warning to everyone
and at the same time 1t should enco'lr-
age every man and woman who is OUT
in sin to return to God and make a
new start. If David could have seen
the end from the beginning, he never
would have been guilty of his awful
crime and sin. If you of today could
only see that you pay too high price
Tor your brief sinful pleasures you
never in the world would enter into
such a life. Evangelist Phelps thinks
good honest amount of hard work
will keep a man out of mischief and
had David been a hard worker he 100,
would have been kept out of tempta.
tons to which he yielded. God can
and will forgive sin if we ask him, but
he cannot prevent the result Of that
sin in your body Why are some folks
sore at Phelps? Conscience: Phelps
IS used Of God to speak the truth and
if 1t hits you, don't get sore at him
Get sore at yourself Don't blame him,
blame yourself and turn away from
your sins and turn to God.
