WOMEN ARE IN CHARGE

Evangelist Scoville will preach his
first and only sermon of the CAM
paign to women only at the taber-
nacle this afternoon. Goods Woman
and Tricks Of the White SLAYER" is
the subject of the address the re-
vivalist will deliver to the members
of the fair sex. The sermon Is a sort
Of mixture of two of Scoville's most
interesting and powerful lectures.
The song service will begin at ;
o'clock. Mr.. Stewart will have charge
Of the service. Local ministers, the
evangelist, possibly several members
Of his company and newspaper men
will be the only men allowed in the
tabernacle. There will be women
ushers, women singers, women will
look after the stoves and women will
keep the doors.
This is the first women's service to
be held in the tabernacle. 1t will be
the only one. Heretofore the men
have held sway in the shed while
some local church. Tomorrow the
men will gather in the church.
Local Men Will Talk.
At 2:30 o'clock the men will meet
at the Baptist church to hear 1--WE
local men make five minute talks.
Also to hear numerous trail hitters"
make old fashioned Testimonies"
Dr. Scoville will give the invitation
and that will about sum up his &C
hvities at the mems service. He and
Mr.. Stewart will leave early for the
tabernacle to take charge of the
women's meeting.
DR.. Scoville's address, Gods Won
an and Tricks of the White SLAYER"
is said to be one Of the most COM
polling sermons he breaches. At JEFF
ferson City, Mo-, nearly 1000 women
heard the sermon. Nearly as many
were present on the Sunday after
noon in Emporia when the address
was delivered.
The Friday Meeting.
The preliminary part of Friday
nights meeting at the tabernacle was
as full of enthusiasm as usual. The
singing went with lots Of vim and go
and everybody was happy, cheerful
and enthusiastic. Mrs. Scoville's solo
was What VIII You Do With Jesus?"
The selection was most pleasing
one and was rendered very artist
cally.
What VIII You Do With Jesus?" In
opening the sermon DR.. Scoville gave
very vivid description Of the trial
Of Jesus before Plate. The opening
thought of the sermon was that each
of us is responsible for the individual
attitude toward Jesus. 1.-The trial of
Jesus is going on still and everyone
Is a Witness" he said. There are
four factors governing the kind of
evidence the witnesses will give.
These four are the four p's, position,
popularity, prosperity and pleasure.
Position won't save a person and
popularity won't save person. If 1T
is a case Of keeping your Job and
losing religion, be a man and quit
the Job. Prosperity and money tends
to take people away from religion
rather than toward religion. What
will it prosper a man to gain the
whole world and lose his soul?
Even if there was no hereafter,
religion would be prontable thing
here on earth. Real pleasure is gotten
by doing the right thing, not the
wrong thing. More pleasure is gotten
from being christian than not.
Jesus is your best friend was the
closing thought of the sermon. What
WILL you 90 Will jesus oohio oay
you will be asking what will he do
with you"
The usual invitation to hit the
trail" was given and there was
good response. Among the trail hit
ters" were several representative
business men of the city. The num-
Der of the people in GLORY row. is
about the same every night, not
great number some one night and
comparatively few the next night.
