JASPER BLINES
FOR HOMECOMING
ARRANGEMENTS Have Been Made to
Held Meeting at Alexandria
Sept. 20-21.

On Thursday / enjoyed voyage
to Alexandria, having in view the
meeting of those who are interested
in the home coming meeting TO be
held in Alexandria this summer. There
were present Editor J. w. Murphy OF
the Burlington Post, Editor Talbot
of the Kahoka Free Press, citizens
Ed. Seggelke, Henry Grodell, Banker
E. P. Spangler, merchant Al Dross,
G. w. Hill and others. AS the previ-
GUS home coming meetings or 1911
and 1913 were held in the m1d-sum-
mer months, the changing OF the
meeting to a later date was talked
upon and the dates of September 20
and 81 were selected. Evangelist Her.
bert Shaw will have his large taber-
nacle erected for the use of the pub
lie. and this will be an improvement
upon open air speaking for the ora
tors of the days. The location will be
the city park or the land adjoining.
Crossing the valley from Wayland
to Alexandria, a fairly good view or
the farming conditions was obtained.
Some fields of corn are growing nice
Nv and have received cultivation, while
many fields remain to be planted.
South of the Missouri. Iowa and Ne
braska road, many fields composing a
vast area of land are too wet TO pc
plowed. Rye is showing Itself 10 be
the most vital crop. and herein Is 2
great moral for farmers to learn and
practice. With favorable weather,
most all the lands of the Mississippi
and Des Moines will be devoted to
corn and other crops, even In June.
Farmers have learned to plant yellow
variety of corn for late dates, and In
this way success may be gained. It
is well to be prepared for emergen'
cies in all business affairs.
At the large tabernacle In Kahoka,
,he services continue with power and
Increasing interest. The first service
of the meeting showed that the speak
er was we'll chosen, by our local
authorities, and the writer so stated
in public print. The time since con
firms the logic of tne estimation
placed upon Evangelist Hc'comb, VINO
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-05-27

! is laboring zealously for the general
welfare of the spiritual arousing Of
the churches to an aggressive cam
paign. The evangelist thoroughly be-
| lieves in preparedness, and says that
to have the four church organizations
| in line of active duty and service, is
the first essential to success.
The following are the arrangement
of services:
Regular preaching at 10 o'clock in
| the morning and at o'clock in the
evening Mems prayer meetings are
| held at three o'clock in the after
noon, sometimes in the public park
and sometimes in the stores or other
| places of business. Four prayer meet
| ings are held by the women in diff
ferent sections of the town, and the
motto is to keep the business of de-
votion exceedingly active and agrees
sive.
It is wonderful how all the frailties
and evils of sin are brought forth
and exposed. Surely everyone is re-
ceiving his and her size and color,
but few are acknowledging and con-
Tossing. The siege holds firm, and
the best of attention is given. At
times the large audience is fashioned
into unit, or individualized all as
one person. This is q reward which
comes to but few speakers, and is a
| truly great event and an eminent
achievement. There is not move,
and perfect Quietness. When the
great spiritual logic holds the audi
ence as If enchanted, and the speaker
pauses, the silence is so pronounced
| as though there were not person in
that large tabernacle.
AS these meetings progress, clos
ing in of the church forces Is noticed.
and. there is a maturing Of energies
and elements all tending to a change
and a break In spiritual conditions.
Evangelist Holcomb believes in
aggressiveness and enthusiasm, and
this is why he mentioned the name
of Theodore Roosevelt so often in his
sermon L like Roosevelt because
he rolls up his sleeves and enters
right into the battle with a spirit of
enthusiasm" said the evangelist Il
was one of the very first to root for
Teddy and l suffered lots Of persecu-
ton in the south for the avowed stand
which I made for him. Not on your
life will you see Hughes nominated
at Chicago. If the republicans fail
to nominate Roosevelt they might as
well nominate Billy Bryan, so far as
success would be concerned. And
mind you, Billy is a runner. He likes
To run, if though he never wins. When
during his official life in Washington,
on being asked why he didn't visit
the south, Theodore Roosevelt replied
that he would do so whenever invited
to come south. l like that. The car
toons show Teddy out with his big
stick all decorated with thorns. l
like that, too. What we christians
need is powered action and per
petual campaign. This one thing
would I do, said Saint Paul. Lord

saying:
IF you are single please write
to me-"
"a name and address followed,
and the man, smiled. He was
single, and he put the photograph
on his sitting room mantel. There
every evening, looking up from
his book, he beheld 1t. It was
very beautiful, and in a week he
had fallen head over heels in love.
so he wrote the girl. Another
week of anxious nerve racking
suspense. Then the lovesick man
received this crushing letter;

you wrote was my grandmother.
