Revival Meetings Begin
With Excellent Prospects

The revival meetings now in progress
at the First Christian church are having
a splendid beginning. Evangelist NJ

to all expectations. They are both good
singers and last night pleased their au-

an, who has rich contralto voice, also
sang effectively, ellis Eye Is On the
Sparrow"
Evangelist Pagan is forceful and
rapid speaker. Last night he discussed
1.-TWO Fundamentals Characteristics of
the Christian Life.' Among other
things he said: Christianity is more
than a belief in set of dogmasi it is
more than an obedience to certain spe-
cific ordinances; it is more than mere
ly form of godliness. Christianity ia
a life to be lived. 1t is good for seven
days in the week and 81 weeks in the
year. The religion of some folks is like
their Sunday coat,-they put it on once
week, and when Sunday is over they
lay il carefully away until next week.
1.-The two fundamental Characters
ties of the Christian life are personal
purity and social service. These two
things characterize the life of Jesus, and
make Him different from any other per-
son who ever lived He issued chal-
lenge to infidelity which never vet has
been accepted which one of you con
vinceth me of sin?' No man who ever
lived has been able to point to one sin
that Jesus ever did. One of the great

Fihbuster Develops
on Neutrality Bill

Washington, March 3.-It became ev
ident late this afternoon that Senator
Stones address against the armed neu-
trality bill had turned into what had
every appearance of an out and out
filibuster against the bill After con
suming four hours in lengthy speech,
Stone at $50 began reading from Who'll
ly extraneous pamphlets and papers,
which had appeared as if by magic up
on his desk.
Whether he would attempt to, or,
indeed, is physically capable of carry
ing the fiibuster through the long
hours of tonight until the automatic
close of congress at noon tomorrow,
was, however, dubtful.
If he had really intended to kill the
bill with talk it was believed he would
have waited until the late hours, when
he could hold out to the finish.
One wild rumor, however, was that
when Stone stopped LaFollette would
begin.
