LARGE CROWD
At REVIVAL
LAST NIGHT
INSTEREST GROWING IN THE RE-
vIvAL NOW IN PROGRESS AT
BROADWAY BAPTIST CHURCH.
CHOIR is GREAT FEATURE.

Last night at the Broadway Bap-
tist church Rev. DR.. David Cooper
preached to large congregation, his
subject being "A Penitents Prayer"
from text, Ps-51-12-13, and spoke in
part as follows:
king David had sinned against both
God and man. The sense of Gods
fellowship and respect of men he had
forfeited Nathan the prophet with
the sharp sword of the Spirit had
pierced him to the heart. The peni-
tent king then breaks forth in this
penitent's plea which is the worlds
classic
Eve note the first element of his
prayer. 1t is for the restoration OF
his lost joy in his religion. Salvation
is deliverance from sin and from sim
ming. from the penalty and the power
of sin, and the restoration to right
relations with God which includes
of course all right relations with men.
The consciousness of this right rela-
ton has great joy in 1t. 1t is an as
surance within the soul of acceptance
with God. 1t is the sweetest Joy OF
life. There is nothing to compare
with It in all human experience. Gods
salvation has abundant joy in it. This
is the universal experience OF his
people. The scriptures abound with
such declarations. 1t is the privilege,
the birth-right of all his people, David
enjoyed il in large measure. But
he lost il as all of us may do II we
DO not live right with God. The
world knows the bitter and shameful
conduct of this king and the fearful
consequences that came into his af-
ter life because of it. But this peni-
tential Psalm shows that God did not
leave David in his sins. The Spirit
tand word of truth went through his
heart in great mercy and faithful
ness, and brought him to face in

his God He confessed his sins and
made restoration where It was pos
sible. and amended his life. Some
things he could never make right. He
could not bring back to life again
Uriah for whose death he was re-
sponsible. But God forgave David and
took him back into his favor, but sor'
row and shame and tears went with
him all the rest of his days. He felt
again the Joy of pardon, the sweet
sense of forgiveness, but there was
shameful bloch on his character and
bitter regret for his sins in his heart
till his dying day.
"EIow many joyless Christians there
are. II seems that the church is full
of them and how powerless they are.
How little they accomplish. How
many seldom or ever speak about
their icy in salvation. The note
seems to be almost lost out OF the
churches. No wonder we are weak in
service. No wonder we move so slow
". How many go to everything else
for their joy except to Christ. sal

is carried on to an alarming extent in
our county, by our citizens. We find
further, that too many men, bearing
special commissions rom county and
city authorities and other sources are
using this privilege, for the sole and
only purpose of carrying a gun. We
therefore recommend that no special
commission be given to any man, eX-
cept for the specific purpose of being
an active officer. We further recon-
mend that all such special commits
sions, now in existence, be withdrawn
and the law relating TO the carrying
of deadly weapons be rigidly en-
forced.

Has Little Chickens.

By Luella Gibson, Aged IL Years,
Dodge, Neb., Box 172. Blue Side.
One day mamma came in the house
and said:
"Luella, there is a hen that wants
to set, so am going to let you set
her and you can have all the chickens
she matches for your own"
So l took fifteen eggs and put them
under her and covered her up with a
box. Every day l would let her out
and | fed and watered her, then | put
her back on the nest and covered her
up. After she had set one week she
left her nest and did not go back on.
| did not throw the eggs away, but
put the box back on. After two
weeks had passed by l went out to
gather eggs and I heard some little
chickens seeping-seep-seep-peep. l
could not find them at first. 1t
sounded like they were in the box
where the hen had been setting, so |
raised up the lid and there was three
little chickens. l still have the little
chickens.

Tommy True was a careless boy.
He was often late at school. Some
times he was late for dinner. One
day his mother said: Tommy, | have
bought come fairy shoes for you.
Would you like to put them on?"
"Oh, yes, mother" he answered. 81
should like to wear a pair of fairy
Shoes"
well, then," said his mother, there
they are. If you wear them you must
take care never to be late at school,"
why so, mother?"
They will pinch your feet if you
are late, or if you are not careful
about your lessons"
Tommy looked at the shoes. They
were very strong and we'll made. He
tried them on and they were just the
right size for him.
Il won't be late, mother" he said.
And he ran to school as happy as he
could be. But the very next morning
Tommy was careless again. The field
by the road was yellow with butter
cups. "How pretty they are" he said
to himself. wonder if may dare to
get one. Yes, | will have one" He
laid his books down and ran into the
field. His shoes began to pinch his
feet, but he did not care. The ground
was soft and wet; it would not bear
him up. His feet sank in the mud and
he lost his fairy shoes.
Well, I'm glad they are gone" he
said.
There were so many buttercups, and
he wanted them all, so he picked till
his hands were full of them.
AT last, with bare feet, he went on
to school, but he was very late. All
the other children were in their places.
And there, too, were Tommys shoes.
right where he ought to be. The shoes
were very muddy, and each had lit
tile buttercup in it.
well, Tommy, you are late again."
said the teacher Put on your shoes"
Tommy put them on. Then he had
to go to the foot of the class. He did
not know his lessons. The shoes
pinched his feet. He was not at all
happy.
Il think I'll take them off. They
hurt me So" he said. So he stopped

down and took them off. But as soon
as they were off they went trip-trap.
trip-trap to the head of the class.
See" said the teacher, the fairy
shoes will stay there till you work uiFF
10 them"
Every day the shoes were there at
the head of the class. Tommy had TO
stand in his bare feet till he could
work his way up to them.
Now you must not think that Tom
my was bad boy. He loved flowers;
he loved books; he loved all things
fair and beautiful. He wished to do
right, but he would forget. The fairy
shoes helped him to think. They
would not let him forget. By and by
he did so we'll that he could wear
them again, At last he learned to be
always in the right place at the right
time.

Visits State Fair.

wood, Neb. Route !. Blue Side.
A state fair is held at Lincoln every
year the first week in September.
AS our school did not start until
week later we all went. After reach
ing the fair grounds we ate our din
ner and then went to see the dis
plays. In the Art building there
were all kinds OF beautiful fancy
work. Some of the things were tat
ted and crocheted doilies, handker-
chiefs, handbags, Jokes and many
different kinds OF quilts.
Next, we went through the Agri-
culture building. First we saw fruits,
vegetables and grains from all coun-
ties of Nebraska, and also some from
Canada. Then, on the second floor,
we saw writings, drawings, paintings
and all kinds of fancy work from
country schools in Nebraska. This
was all very beautiful. There was
some of the incest bead work made
by the blind. These things were all
very interesting. In another build
ing in booth there was fancy work
made by the feeble-minded. In Uni
versity building there were two min
iature schools; one was an old-fash-
Toned building, the other was a new
consolidated building with a high
school and many rooms.
Then we went through the horse
and cattle barns. We saw the sheep,
poultry and fish. By the side of the
Fishery building there was pond,
where geese and swans were enjoy
ing themselves.
We went to the Auditorium and
listened for an hour and a half to
Kiltie's band, the band which opened
the Santiago exposition, and this was
followed by sacred concert by the !
Nebraska State band. 1t was very
good music. When it was over we
started for home. We reached home
at 6 O'Clock.
