HIS SUBJECT
Evangelist Hun at Trinity Church
Takes Timely Topic From
Bible story.

The congregation at trinity church
sat spell-bound as the evangelist
preached his masterful sermon on the
backslider, Demas The text was
"Demas has foresaken Me. having
loved this present world" The preach
er pointed to the fact that Demas was
not drunkard, a thief or liar. but
simply q lover of this present world.
Others Of Paurs helpers were not
with him, but he knew they we're on
some christian errand, and he was not
worried about them But Demas had
gone. He had deliberately chosen be-
tween Paul, Jesus and life of sacri-
flee on the one side, and life OF ease,
pleasure and selfishness on the other
side, and had taken the latter At
one time Demas had assisted Paul In
writing some Of the letters to the
churches, but the world had him now.
Paul told some of his Phillipian con-
verts they were enemies of the cross
of Christ because they minded earthly
things. John said. Love not the
world" Rev. Huff took four photo
graphs of Demas. The first was the
front view showing him face to face
with the world. Here he explained
the reason for the lure Of the world.
1t is because of it's everlasting near
ness II temptation comes to try US.
it passes on, If sorrow comes. 1t
passes on. If disappointment comes
it passes on. But the world Is right
with us, with its wickedness and pres
ent day methods Of selfishness which
say, EVERY fellow for himelf.' The
world crowds us so that we have to
fight to be religious. II we want to
conduct family worship, the door bell
or telephone rings, or somebody comes.
It is hard to find time to pray. The
second view Of Demas was his assent
to the world. He said yes. The third
view showed him leaving Paul. He
did not quit attending prayer meet
ings until he began to love the world
more than he loved Christ. The fourth
picture showed him in far away pleas
ure loving, money mad Thessalonica.
OF all the men in the Bible who ever
left God on account Of money there is
no record Of any who ever got back.
Other men sinned. but they got back
to God. The evangelist asked Demas
a few questions after he got away
from God. Did he ever think Of former
days? Was he happy? What about
eternity? He sold eternity for this
present world. Song service tonight
promptly at 7:S0. ,,

corn without inflaming or even irri-

-FOUR SUNDAYS FOR
GOING TO CHURCH.
keokuk Churches VIII Take Part In
Extensive Months Cam
pai0n During
February.
URGING ALL TO ATTEND
Campaign viii be Waged to Make
This Movement Big Success az
It Was Two Years
Ago.
URGING ALL TO ATTEND

Keokuk churches are to observe
go to church Sundays during the
four Sundays in February. Two years
ago Go to Church Sunday was OBJ
served for one day, and proved OF
considerable benefit. This year It
was decided to try the plan OF hav-
ing four days for this movement.
The Ministerial association has
outlined the plans for the four day
campaign in the following:
I, The Go-to-Church movement was
such a success two years ago that 1t
Is now thought worth while to make
similar effort on more extended
plan. The campaign in Keokuk this
year is to cover the four Sundays Of
the month of February occurring on
the 4th. 18th, 18th and the 25th. 1t
will be immaterial as to which
churches will go in on the plan to
dc the work for it Is to be entirely
free from denominationalism. Every
resident in this city Is to be notified
and requested to attend divine ser.
vices in the church Of his choice.
This period will cover a series OF
eight services in most Of the
churches. The population of Keokuk
is not poor even now in its church
but we feel assured that
the campaign will help to make the
many citizene of Keokuk, in much
better sense, a church-going people.
The slogan will be go to church
every Sunday" Get the habit, make
t. a rule of your life. Only then can
you derive the full benefit from TINS
greatest of all institutions, the
church. Stop! Look Listen: The
air will be full Of it before February
comes.

The men would therefore be mustered

declares the soldiers have already
taken the oath of the new defense act
and when mustered out of their pres
ent federal service, go automatically

defense system.
He has taken the situation up with

er, this postponed demand will be suf-
ficient to keep the industries OF this
country running full blast for long
time, even If the war were to end at
once. Therefore, he doesn't look for
any marked slump in prices. for some
of this demand cannot be indefinitely
postponed. And as soon as it is felt
it will tend to stabilize prices against
tendency to revert headlong to low
er levels. In brief, even if the peace
talk seemed more likely than it does
to bring about a cessation of the big
war business Is likely to go on in this
country in large volume and at good
prices.
