European conflict was written with
increasine c~learness IN the financial
chronicle. Presumably there were
here and there men who saw and
credited the facts in all their signif.
canoe, but for the most part the world
refused to believe the evidence Of its
eyes. The delusion prevailed that the
prophets Of the impossibility Of war
were right despite the accommodating
proof Of financial circumstances that
they were wrong.
The delusion to be overcome now IL
that Europe has accepted war as the
more or less permanent condition Of
existence. When financial portents
Of peace appear they will he worth

Home Gas Machine"

Fits any stove or range, without
change and makes gas from water,
air, and cheap coal oil, and is not
only the cheapest, but the best fuel
known for cooking and heating. The
best part of the whole thing is you
always have plenty of gas in cold, as
well as hot weather. 1t costs less
than gas, wood or coal. Goes on any
stove, and the price is in reach of
the poorest family. More than two
thousand of our citizens have called
and inspected the machine, and many
have placed their orders. Every busi-
ness man and lady is invited to call
and see the great invention tested
on large range. More than two
thousand will soon be in use in this
city and county. Remember, it costs
you nothing to test one in your home,
and it solves the mo gas" problem.

Revival Meeting Continuous.

Our meeting on Broadway was well
attended last night The crowd was
largest Monday night audience yet
convened in the meeting. This shows
the living and growing interest of the
meeting. Daily the thinking people of
Ardmore are becoming more and
more interested in the meeting. The
plain teaching that is being done is
appealing to the hearers.
Last night the speaker showed how
God influences men to come to Christ.
That God moves nightly upon the
hearts of men by his love story, the
Cross, Mr.. Armstrong clearly showed.
He said as the Lord hung in the
flowing with its milk and honey; with
its homes, olive orchards, and vine
yards to draw them out of the bond
age of Egypt, so he bangles in the
vision of lost men today heaven,
with its rest, peace, joy, bliss and
eternal life to draw men out of sin.
The speaker labored to correct the
false view that in measure still
clings to enlightened Christendom;
namely, that there is some kind of
mystery" connected with ones be-
coming a Christian. He declared that
feelings had their place in religion
and We're precious to every heart
possessing them; that a Christian,
both in becoming Christian and
living the life, has an experience
unspeakable and fully of glory, and
that is unknown to the unconverted;

AGED WOMAN FOUND DEAD.
Death Was Caused by Bullet Wounds
In Throat and Chin.

Enid okla, June 12.-Mrs Mary
Giles, aged 81 years was found dead
last night at her home three miles
from here, where she had lived by
herself for some time. A bullet
wound in her chin and another in her
throat, evidently fired at short range,
caused her death. Sheriff Humes in
vestigated and said he believed it
was a case of murder. No weapon
was found about the house. Robbery
was apparently the motive, although
nothing appeared to be disturbed,
the house being in its usual good
order.

but that it was the very natural re-
suit of his conviction, faith, that ne
is now a child of God, approved of
God, and saved by his grace. He
earnestly pleaded with thinking
hearts not to mistake this precious
experience, which was fruit of their
firm belief that they are now chill
dren of the Most High God, saved
from sin and heirs of heaven, for
some direct and mysterious work of
the holy spirit in their hearts. Mr..
Armstrong then patiently proved that
these real and heartfelt experiences
were always in harmony with the
convictions of the heart possessing
tn experiences.
He referred to Jacobs unceasiag
sorrow pain and grief and BIT
ter periences-through long per-
iod of years, weeping, broken-hearted
and ruined for his dead son Joseph,
who was not dead, but prospering
in Egypt, and fast approaching the
throne of Egypt. But his father, ia
cob believed he was dead and his
feelings and experiences were as real
as if Joseph had been dead. But
these sad experiences did not prove
Joseph was dead, but they only prov
ed that Jacob believed very sincere
lv that Joseph was dead. Then Mr..
Armstrong let his audience see the
old father grow extremely happy, un-
speakably happy, as the news was
broken to him that his favorite son
was not dead as he had been belieV-
ing. but was much alive; the evan
gelist showed that the fathers eX-
periences changed as his convictions
changed, and that his extreme Joy
and peace now filing his heart did
not prove that Joseph was alive, but
only that the father now believes
he is.
D.. /.
ion, souls rejoice with unspeakaDle
ioy whenever they firmly believe
they are saved But the extreme
state of contentedness, satisfaction
and rejoicing into which those souls
have come do not prove they are
hardened, but only that they believe
they are saved. They may not, in
fact. be saved; they may have been
taught something false and made TO
believe they are pardoned when they
are not. But their rejoicing. said
the speaker, would be just as real
as if they were saved.
Mr.. Armstrong then emphasized
a great truth: namely, that no heart
should ever be contented with any
other basis for his belief that he is
saved. except Gods own word. When
God says one is saved, he may re-
ioice: he will rejoice, and his re-
ioicings will never be turned into
weeping and bitter wailing, for Gods
word faileth not. The speaker then
referred to the fact that Saul OF
Tarsus was in a state of grief and
distress for three days at Damascus
and no friend could give him COM
fort: he refused to be comforted;
would neither eat nor drink through
that period of sorrow. But when the
man of God came into his presence,
and said. Arise and be baptized and
wash away thy sins, calling on the
name of the Lord" Saul immediate
" arose and was baptized. Then
he took food and was strengthened.
Satisfaction came after his baptism,
the jailer rejoiced. believing in God
with all his house, after baptism.
