The German P,spIs.

lO 6Hnaa POopls.
An effort has been made in ma.
ny quarters in regard to the war,
to distinguish between the auto
cracy and the masses OF the peo.
pie in Germany. 1t is frequently
said that the German people are
not In sympathy with this war,
but that they are completely
dominated by the autocracy.
Another view is that they are
constrained to carry on the war
because they are kept in lguor-
ance OF true conditions. They
are duped and hoodwinked by
the authorities and made to be-
lieve that Germany isengaged in
a righteous cause; that she is
gaining victory after victory;
and in a short time she will win
the war.
We have never been able to
bring ourselves to the point OF
believing that the German peo.
pie were not In sympathy with
those 10 authority in the prose-
cution OF the war. The German
nation is not composed OF a set
OF weaklings, nor are they al ig-
norant horde, as are the Rus
SLAMS. II they were, there might
be some ground for the belief
that they were driven along be-
cause they knew no better. But
Germany is one of the most in
telligent nations on the earth.
They have compulsory education
and have had for a long time,
and the masses @. the people ale
far better educated than IN most
other countries of the world. To
say that with all their enlighten.
ment, the German people du not
know what is going on, does not
hold to reason. Another thing
that would seem to indicate that
such is not the case is the atti.
tude OF Germans in this country.
Those who are. over here, and
have been some time, have Ger.
tainly had the finest opportuni-
ty Of knowing what is going on
in the world and OF reaching just
conclusions. And vet there are
Germans in this country, and
have been here for a long time,
who have had every opportuni-
ty to judge Of American ideals,
whose sympathles are with Ger
many. This is not true of all the
Germans in this country. We
know many who are loyal to the
fl ", and deploe the atrocities
committed by their country, but
the fact that there are a good
many Intelligent Germans who
are hoping and prayiug that
Germany may win in this war, is
strong evidence as to the feeling
among the German people 10 the
Fatherland. We believe that the
war spirit in Germany ls attrib-
uted to the kind OF education
which has been given them in
their school system, and that
this spirit reaches from the Kai.
ser down to the humblest home.

"You can picture in your minds the Christ as He took His disciples out to the Mount of Olives at this time. They were sorrowful. He had told them in the 18th chapter of John, Now I go away to the Father that sent Me, and sorrow filled their hearts, He taught these disciples ev- erything, and they were sorrowful that their Lord was going away. He had taught them how to pray, how to teach, how to preach, and how to ov- ercOme temptation. He had been ev- erything to them. It was necessary, however, that He go away. for if He had not gone away the Comforter would not have come: The Comforter can be in you. The Holy Spirit is a definite personality. .- He can be lied to, denied, quenche d, blasphemed, in- suited, received. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit when He went back to Heaven. He went to Gethsemane and to Cal vary that the Holy Spirit might come into the world. . He agonized, for the salvation of lost world He literal ly sweat drops of blood that He might redeem the world. He was persecut- ed, tried before Pilate, and sentenced like common malefactor to the cross. He died on the cross that you might be saved, and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
 Day of Pentecost.
 After the resurrection He had this last meeting with His disciples on the Mount of Olives. He then promised His disciples that they would receive power from on high.' There are many Christians today with no power. You must use your power, and devel- op more power by allowing the Holy Spirit to come into your beart and fife.

Skin Without Wrinkles
 Now Easy to- Have

There's no excuse for any woman having wrinkles now. It has been found that simple mixture of saxo- lite and witch hazel has a remarkable action upon the deepest wrinkles, no matter what their nature, whether caused by worry, habitual drowning, debilitated condition or the ravages of Father, Time. This harmless remedy, which anyone can easily make and use at home, acts both as an astringent and tonic. The combined effect of tightening the skin and heightening it's vitality is to immediately affect ev- cry line and wrinkle, keeping the cuti- cle smooth and firm as in youth.
 The proportions are one ounce saxo- lite (powdered) to one-half pint witch hazel, ingredients which are found in every drug store. The solution should be used as wash lotion. It is equal ly effective in disposing of blabbiness of cheek and neck, as well as sagging below the eyes.

From this mountain the disciples
 returned to the upper room at Jeru-
 salem. There they remained ten
 days. They prayed, but they did
 more. They emptied themselves of
 all that was sinful and wrong. Many
 Christians have no upper room experi-
 ence and that is why they have no power. When Lazarus came forth from the grave he was bound hand and foot. There are too many people
 like that today. You must fully sur render to Christ or the Devil will
 have you bound hand and foot. Many Christians need to let go entirely and let God completely into their lives.
 l can imagine the disciples made con- fessions to each other. When they
 had emptied themselves they were
 nearer ready for the great day of Pentecost.
 "Your days are swiftly going. Let God breathe on you the Holy Spirit. Let God send His love into you as He desires to do. When the tongues of fire appeared no one saw the one on his own head but those on the heads of others. May we see that way in our own lives What wonderful thing it would be if all the members of all the churches in Pine Bluff were filled with the Holy Spirit. We could then overflow and we could give to those about us countless blessings.
 God has a blessing. The Holy Spirit is the river of God. Those dis ciples could not stay in the upper room. They must go out and tell others the result of the Holy Spirits breathing upon them. Oh, that we might have an influence like they had. When Christians have the Holy Spirit Christians come Hooking to God. You. perhaps, are Christian and on the wrong side of 'Pentecost. Get on this side of it so you can claim the bless ing of the Holy Spirit. Be a strong Christian. It is an awful thing to be a professed Christian and then be a baby. Some people who have been Christians for. twenty years are still babies. Oh, for the time to come | when Christians get out of their baby hood. Cleanse. consecrate,r claim. Surrender your life to God. Have a l victorious life tonight"

Evangelist Preached the Most Effective Sermon
 of Series Last Night.
MANY CHRISTIANS
 WITHOUT POWER
They Must Allow the Holy Spirit to Enter Their Hearts and Lives, or MephistO Will Bind Them
 Hand and Foot.

A great consecration service was the crowning feature of the taberna- Gle meeting last night. At the con. clusion of the sermon Evange1ist Stephens instead of extending at
 once the invitation to non-professing Christians. asked all those who were
 already Christians to meet him in
 front of the tabernacle. A great
 host of men and women surged for ward, and amid song and prayer they reconsecrated themselves to God. This was one of the most effective services
 of all the series in the campaign. While the men and women were gath ering MT. Stephens extended the invi- tation to n-Christians to go to the annex where he afterwards held a meeting with them.
 A great crowd was present for the meeting last night and the song ser. vice was unusually lively and enthusi- astic. MT. Storrs seemed on the very pinnacle and led the choir in great choruses of song. Mrs. Pow ell sang, "Love Is Blessed" Rev. w. c. Watson led in prayer.
 MT. otepnenS mad TOT his subject. Every Christians Birthright," and the text was Acts 1:S, "But we shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusa- lem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the world" ''This," said the evangelist, ''is your gold mine, it is your birth right. To understand rightly this text we must consider what came be- fore and after 1t. This power which came unto them gave them power to pray. power to resist temptation, pow CT to love, power to be the right kind of men. This power will dos the, same for you if you will allow yourself to be filled. Christian influences reach to the uttermost parts of the earth.

What is expected to he the greatest meeting of the evangelistic campaign up to this time will be the great mass meeting for men only tomorrow after noon at 2:30. MT. Stephens will have a special message for the men on the subject. "Hot Cakes Off the Griddle. :" This is a red blooded message for red blooded men. The men of Pine Bluff will, no doubt, avail themselves of the opportunity to have service of their own with MT. Stephens. At the same hour there will be a meeting for wom- en only at the First Baptist church. This meeting will be in charge of Miss Byrnes and Mrs. Powell.
