THE REVIVAL

A very successful revival at the
Friends church closed Sunday night
Rev. l.. A. Wells is one of the ablest
evangelists that has come to Liberal
His forceful, uncompromising minis

found way to many hearts.
In the sixteen days, thirty-two ses-
sions were held, during which fifty
two persons came to the alter, and
claimed the blessing as sought
There were twenty-four accessions
to the church, reconciliations were
made, and much lasting good was
done.
A little over $3.50 was contributed
to the evangelist and the singer.
Rev. Wells left the city Monday
for Wichita, Kan. He was much APP
preciated, not only by the Friends
church of which he is member, but
also by the christian people of Lib
eral who wish him the greatest sue
cess in his future labors.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES

At this season Of the year when
all things that have slept through the
long cold winter are awakening to
new life, it is fitting that our minds

forms. Those who think only of the
lower forms Of life miss many of the
joys. of real living. Next Sunday is
Easter and the children of the Chris
tan Bible School have prepared a
program that is intended to make you
think of the higher life that Jesus
came to bring to light. This program
will begin at GAS a. m. At IL
o'clock we will have a sermon on the
Evidences Of the Resurrection of
Christ" The evening service, be-
ginning at o'clock, will be in the
hands of the choirswh will delight,
instruct and edify you with their
musical program. Come and enjoy
a day of worship with us.

TO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Last Sunday an Atkinson man re-
solved to spend the day in manner
which would be perfectly satisfac-
tory to his wife, says the Globe. He
arose before she did; dressed and
went down stairs, built the fire, and
put on the water for coffee. Then
he hurried back upstairs, and, while
his wife got breakfast he dressed
the children, at the same time hav-
ing them rehearse their Sunday
School lessons. After breakfast he
washed the dishes, while his wife got
the children off to Sunday school.
He then accompanied his wife to
church. After the services he wait
ed until his wife's kin came out Of
the church and then invited them
home to dinner with him. While
his wife got dinner on the table he
talked affably with her relatives, and
at the table served them lavishly,
pressing them all the time to have
more. After dinner he assisted his
wife in "doing" the dishes, and then
spent the entire afternoon visiting
her relatives. He begged them to
remain to supper, and when they
refused, he took his wife and chill
dren to restaurant for supper.
Upon reaching home he told his
wife to stay down stairs and play
the piano, or read, while he put the
children to bed. After he had heard
their prayers and tucked them in he
tiptoed down stairs, and, taking his
wife in his arms, kissed her, and said:
"My darling, you must be tired al
ways Shaving for me and our chill
dren." Then he turned out the
light and sat and held her hand.
The next morning his wife went to
the family doctor and said: 81 wish
you would observe my husband when
you get a chance; fear he is loinsg
his mind.

4WOMEN WILL ASSIST IF
.s'a COUNTRY GOES TO WAR
Haze Outlined Plan that APP
pedlS to Government
Officials

The women of the nation have
struck the keynote of what their atti-
tude is to be if we go to war. At a
vast mass meeting recently Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of
the National Suffrage Association,
made the declaration that "two mil
lion women of the United States
stand ready to serve their country
in war"
This announcement followed an
emergency meeting of the national
board, summoned from all over the
United States, among whom Mrs.
Joseph Medill Patterson of Chicago
was the first to respond.
So significant did the government
consider the meeting that it sent its
three most representative men with
their wives, Secretary and Mrs. Nc
Adoo, Secretary and Mrs. Daniels
and Secretary and Mrs. Baker. Mr..
Baker represented the government
IN speech.
n Mrs. Gait declared the women be-
lieyed that out of the wreck of Euro
pean nations will rise better democ-
racy, lifting the people toward the
light. There was nothing about suf-
frage and no note of protest, such as
crept into the meetings of other days.
The issue of the ballot was subordi-
mated to the common question of ma
tional defence.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper read the
note that went to the president tell
ing what the women proposed to do.
They will establish employment
bureaus for women.
Increase the food supply by train
ing women for agriculture and teach
ing them to eliminete waste.
Assist the Red Cross.
Help Americanize emigrants.
Form conference committees

NEW YORK, March E.-After a statement had been submitted in evi- dence that 250 shells for fire bombs had been manufactured aboard the German merchant steamships tied up at Hobokcn, the government closed its case against Captain Charles von Kleist and five other Germans on trial for conspiracy to destroy vessels car rying munitions from American ports to the Entente allies. Counsel for defendants moved for a dismissal. Judge VanFleet, presiding, declared, there was ample evidence of a con- spiracy, if the jury should find it suf- ficient."
 Won Kleist told of having been ap- preached in 1915 by Dr. Walter Schcele, who informed him he wanted "a good man to go into the fertilizer business in Hoboken." Scheele. in dicted with others, fled from Hobo ken when the alleged bomb plot was disclosed and now is believed to be in Mexico. Won Kleist denied criminal knowledge of the bomb-making. He admitted that he called on Wolf Won Igel, the attache of the German em- bassy, when Scheele failed to pay the notes given him but the latter said Won Igel would pay.
