AT THE BIG MEETING

At the Christian church building last night Evangelist A. E. Harper presented the thought of one true God.
 To get this lesson before the world was the idea of wars, famines and pestillences of ancient times.
 People need to keep it in mind now. Following this thought. S. w. Settle presents the thought that what that one true God has said is immovable. fixed and enduring as the hills. and more so.
 This meeting is under the manage ment of A. E. Harper of Ohio. and $. w. Settle of Pennsylvania They speak alternately. Each understands the other.
 They treat all kindly. regardless of religious persuasion. They hear questions calmly. They make no charges nor collections expect the one always required on Lords day. This is a free-will offering They defend no creed but Christ They force their religion upon none. They suffer none to be forced upon them. They per suade men. They allow men Co per suade them Their governing rule of action is, to the law and the testi- mony: # they speak not according 10 these it IS because there is no ! light in them" Thus far no one | has attended the services and gone away hungering to hear the word of , God. Services are lively-even snappy.

 with the one hope of victory upper
 most.
 Today's game will be played, com mencing at , o'clock, on the high school diamond. and Coach Jennings IS sending a well reorganized nine Tn against the pedagogues. Joe Odell
 has been assigned to duty behind the bat and Mack Nevitt will be on the mound.

He walked around all after noon, attended the smoker at the WoOdmen meeting, and finally con- cluded that the pesky thing was be- ginning to hurt pretty much. Dr. StOner sized up the situation and informed the surprised gentleman that the small bone of his leg was broken just below the knee Mir Denton is around on crutches today and will be all right in a week or two.
