The largest crowd Of the week was
in attendance at the Christian church
last night to hear Mr., Hubbell dis

an illustrated song rendered by the
male quartet, composed of Messrs.
Peters, Reetz, Gray and Freeman.
The service tonight VIII be of quite
a miscellaneous nature, being in the
form of a reception to the new men,
bers that have recently united with
the church. There win be short talks
of an extemporaneous nature from
the heads of the various departments
of church work. These will be inter
Spersed by numerous musical selec-
tions, including solos by Miss Nellie
Anibal, Mrs Ruth Overton and Mi
Carol NJ. Ridenour Also a special
number or two by the male quartet.
Mr. Hubben will follow this with
a short talk on What 1t Means to BE
a Follower of Christ"
Tomorrow night Mr.. Ridenour will
give his closing illustrated lecture on
the Oberammergau Passion Play
This will conclude Mr. Ridenours
work in the city. and he will go il
rect to Dayton, Washington, where
he will assist in a series of meetings

church, however. will continue the re-
viYal meetings right through to sun
DAY night
In speaking of the objectionable
sin last night Mr. Hubbell said that
the three Gospels written by Mat
thew, Luke and Marx respectively,
each tell us that there is an unpar-
donable sin. and that It is the sin
against the Holy Spirit.
There is an unbounded amount Of
misunderstanding extant in the world
today in regard to this question. rel
ative to the meaning of the sin
against the Holy Spirit. After sight
ing the various passages which bear
directly upon this subject, Mr.. Hub
bell concluded his remarks by calling
special attention to the scripture as
found in Mark 1928, 20, 80. Verify I
say unto you, all their sins shall be-
forgiven unto the sons of men, and
their blasphemies wherewith soever
they shall blaspheme; out whosoever
shall blaspheme against the Holy
Spirit hath never forgiveness. but is
guilty of an eternal sin, because they
said, He hath an unclean spirit.

OUR COURSE EFFECTIVE

n 7 is to be noted that the
Teutonic undersea boat
that sank the Italian mer-
chairman Porto Said improved
the opportunity which the sub
marine that sank the Ancona
neglected, though in both in
stances there was the menace
of a hostile armed vessel in the
distance. When the undisci-
plined, frightened merchant
crew were rowing away in the
small boats, leaving persons of
the ships company struggling
in the water, the commander
of the submarine compelled
them to turn back and rescGl
the drowning ones. In fact, he
threatened to shoot the Porto
Said's captain unless he did
his full duty in caring for the
lives for which he was respon-
sible.

Holy City, Illustrated M. L. Peters SClCiSt

The fact that hundreds Of thousands
of intelligent people from all parts Of
the world have made pilgrimages to
Oberammergau to see the Passion
Play enacted has already drawn the
attention Of the entire civilized world
to this little mountain hamlet.
The people who give the Passion
Play have again and again refused
tempting offers TO perform their play
at Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and New
York, but it is not matter of gold with
them but of religion.
They have been giving this Sacred
Drama every decade for over three hun
dred years and the fondest hope OF
every yillager is to be found worthy to
play leading part in the play. For
these parts the children seem to be pre-
pared from their very cradles, and it
is said that they would rather play the
role OF Jesus for one day than to be the
lifetime King OF Bavaria.
The slides illustrate fully the life and
customs Of the people, as we'll as the
various acts and scenes from the play
They were taken by the official pho
tographer in Oberammergau and i'm
ported to this country at a great cost
not counting the expense Of travel as
well.
Mr.. Ridenour has already given this
and other lectures in nearly all parts
of the United States as well as in
Canada.

MAKING AMERICAN DYES

n HERE are now II Ameri-
W can firms engaged in the
manufacture of dyes and
the output at present will am
cunt to $4,000 tons for the
current year. This will ans
wer about three fifths of the
demand for dyes as prior to
the war we were importing
some 25,000 tons annually and
making 5000 tons per annum
in this country.
The government scientists
have been giving valuable aid
to those seeking to build up an
American dye business and it
is said sufficient headway has
been made to insure perma-
nency of the business. Big
American users say they are
anxious to become independ-
ent of Europe as a source Of
supply and hence will cooper
ate with the American manu-
facturers even if forced to pay
more for what they need.
Needless to say, if this policy
is continued after the war we
will never again be subjected
to the inconvenience that has
resulted from the shutting off
of imports of this character.
