OF REVIVAL
Rev. Huff at Trinity Church Explains
Why Meetings of This Charac-
ter Are Worth Much.

Another large crowd attended the
revival service Monday evening at
Trinity Methodist church. The Text
was taken from the prayer OF HaDak-
kuE, 90 Lord revive Thy work Rev
Huff spoke on the subject Of RE
vivals." He said, 1.-THE time Of a re-
vival like this is important to the
preacher because, in Christ's stead he
is beseeching men to be reconciled
to God. If he fails in his message
he will neither be true to God nor
TO men. The time of revival is like
wise important TO all christians,
because it gives them a chance to
show God how much they love Him,
and to show men how much they love
them, by seeking to bring men to
God. Most people who have been
converted, have been brought to
Jesus by someone else. While the
regular church service is important,
and the prayer meeting is important,
the evangelist said he was not lead
to Jesus in noe of the regular serv-
ices, but IN a revival service.
The time. Of revival is important to
a city, for though Keckuk may know
very little about the meeting now,
when the great day of eternity dawns
It will be seen that this was an i'm
portant time and opportunity for the
city. Rev. Huff said revivals were
common in everything else, and ask
ed why they should not be necessary
in matters Of religion. He said, I'VE
need reyivals because the world is
lost. 1t is a redeemed world, but
many have not confessed the savior
who died for them and are lost.
Though the world has changed by its
inventions, so that We have conven-
fences that were not dreamed Of two
generations ago, human nature has
not changed and needs Savior just
as much as ever"
The subject of tonight's sermon
will be "Christ's Compassion"

Is Boston Millionaire
John F. Towle Arrested for
Theft of Papers in Bank
ruptcy Case

Hartford, Conn, July 14.-John F.
Towle, sixty-one, of Boston, who says
he is clerk, but who is believed to be
the general manager of the American
Agricultural Company, of Boston, a
S5Q000,000 concern. and Ralph X. Hyde,
thirty-nine, of Brookline, Mass, an ex-
PERT accountant, were charged in the
Meriden police court to-day with the
theft of books and papers from the Of

glass works, of Merden, Friday even
irg.
At their request hearing was post

Meriden agent for Robert B. and Peter
S Bradley, Boston millionaires and

den, former president of the j. D. Ber-
gen Company. who, they charge. had

pened that the state policemen were on
