Loose tobacco is being marketed free

price Of cotton has been q favorable

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Continued from First Page.)

Bishop Kilgo declared that great
cathedrals, fine organs, costly music,
oratory. expensive silver and fine
robes do not make a church. The
peculiar thing about most of these
places. he said, Is that God Is not
there.
The most pitiable class of people
in the world today Is the wealthy and
so-called high society people. Preach
ers go to see them, but they let them
go to he'll, tramp, tramp. tramp, right
by the communion table. High So
ciety today in America is rotten to
the bottom. 1t doesn't want any re-
vival because 1t has no interest in its
own soul It's interest is in the ball
room. the club or at the gaming ta-
BILE"
The bishop deplored the fact that
some preachers are afraid of REVEALS
because they know REVEALS will make
them travelling preachers.
Il am told that times have
changed. ! am told that / am old
fashioned. Times may have changed,
but hell hasn't. Heaven hasn't
changed. the cross hasn't: the glory
of fellowship with Him hasn't
changed. 1t grows in glory with every
revival. A preacher can feel the
spirit of the revival; he can be re-
converted each time he holds a re-
vival
Worth While Things old-Fashioned.
The sun is old-fashioned, the
moon, the flowers. the gospel, are
old fashioned. and God. back through
eternity. is old-fashioned Thank
God. can lead an old-fashloned re-
vival, can get sinner to the mourn
eris bench. ] can go kneel alongside
Of him and get happy with him when
he comes through. The revival IS the
challenge of Gods universe to the
poor. rehellious sinner.
Preachers are the first to get re-
ligton. People are not going to get
It unless the preachers have 1t, and
some of them won't let II even then.
I rejoice in REVEALS" Closing. the
bishop advised:
Pray 70 God that you may have
the power TO save sinners, and leave
the 'uplift work to others, The wo
mems societies and other organiza
tons can do that policeman can
uplift society. Your work is to save
sinners and the sermon trailed off
into the singing OF Il Will Rise and
Go to Jesus" the bishop leading con-
ference members
DIR. Baylor Speaks.
DR.. Baylor told the conference of
the splendid results achieved in the
Holston Conference through the
visitation OF a wonderful revival. He
told the story OF his own Aght with
sin and OF his conversion and his de-
termination to enter the ministry to
save others who. like he. had their
battles to fight with themselves. 1t
was a personal story. one with init
mate appeal. He then preached brief
sermon, the theme of which was the
Christ's wonderful love, and its power
full revival appeal.
DR.. Baylor cited REVEALS in which
that theme was used with great eff
feet. and asserted. that 1t possesses
wonderful drawing power. The
power OF the gospel Is in the love
that led to the Cross" he concluded,
when Gods Spirit is poured out the
people will come"
The sermon at tonights service will
be preached by DIR. Baylor. Saturday
nights sermon will be by DIR. Luke f.
Todd, of st. Louis. DIR. Todd and DR..
Baylor will participate In the Sunday
afternoon service.

VIRGINIA ELEVEN Is
SHOWING MORE FIGHT
With Every Regular in His Place. Team Works Like Well
Oiled Misunderstanding Hard Game Saturday After
noon With Virginia Military Institute.

Charlottesville. Va, Nov. 16.--The
first real football weather of the sea-
son served to put much pep into vir-
ginia's practice today. Every regular
was In his place. and the various plays
were run Off with a snap that was
refreshing to the squad of coaches.
However. despite the work of the
mentors, a really formidable interior
ence in the blackfeld is yet to be
developed. Many shifts have been
made during the season In an effort
to get a combination that could run
Interference. but so far this has not
been accomplished.
This weakness was especially ap-
parent in Saturdays game with South
Carolina. when practically no inter
ference was given the man with the
ball. Several times kinsolying. White
and Russell had chances for long
runs had the interference of the backs
been up to the standard. Captain Spar
was the greatest offender in this par
ticular, and on at least two occasions
had excellent chances to dump his
man. but made practically no attempt
to put his opponent out of play.
To this problem of building up n
strong interference every energy is
still being directed. and the coaches
expect the varsity to show marked i'm
provement in the clash with Virginia
Military Institute Saturday. Otherwise.
the team will have little show to win
the annual battle with North Carolina
Thanksgiving Day, 1t Ia still believed
that Quarterback Wagenknight will
be kept out OF Saturdays contest.

needed to bring victory.
