INCREASING INTEREST
IN REVIVAL At
METHODIST Church

Reverend overly still draws good
congregations to hear him. and he
il daily growing in popularity. The
singing. too, is good and is enjoyed
BY all. Mr.. Clark. with his splendid
solos, adds greatly to this part Of
the services.
At the evening hour yesterday the
speaker expressed his appreciation of
the attendance as the weather grows
more normal His subject for the
sermon at this time was The
GreatestThing in the World-Love.
few of the good things said on
this theme: The biggest lives ever
lived in this world are the ones that
have been linked on to God-flled
v ith His love The Christian re-
lig.on is the complement of the nat
ural life. 1t is easy to discern be-
tween the life that draws its sus-
tenance from sordid lpeasures and
only worldly eoneernsand the one
that is fed from above, filled with
love for God and for his fellowman.
"A heart or a home without love
is barren. Take love out of home
or a church and you cannot cement
or hold them together. We need TO
cultivate the heart as well as the in
telIeet. There are more hearts hun
gry for love than there are bodies
hungry for food. If you want the
" orld to love you, love the world
The world looks to you to be what
your inner life really is"
In closing. he paid a beautiful tri-
butte to the love of mother; and
his climax was an exposition of the
unbounded love that Christ showed
for this sinful world.
This morning he spoke to an in
terested congregation on the subject
of "Fruitbearing He emphasized
the fact that we. as Christians. can
mo, hone to bear fruit unless we are
directly connected with the true
wine. He also assured his hearers
that an individual or community
is judged solely by their fruits. Let
us not only bear fruit while given
the opportunity here, but let us scat
ter flowers along the pathway OF our
fcllowman while ne can inhale their
fragrance, and not save them all to
be heaped upon his casket later

threatened nationwide strikes and col

Attacks at
Piave Fail
Great Jubilation Prevails in
Italy Over Success in
Withstanding Assaults of
Enemy.

Rome, Nov. 16.-Teutonic attempts
to circle the north flank of 1taly's
Piave river line are being vigorously
repulsed.
Today's official statement asserted:
"On the mountainous front from the
Asiago plateau to the Piave all posi-
tions remained ours despite heavy en-
emy attacks at various points"
News that the Italian troops had
stood their ground firmly and repelled
all efforts of the Austrians on the
Piave, created great jubilation and in
creased optimism that the Piave line
would prove an unbreak able defense to
the Germanic invaders.
EVACUATION OF VENICE.
Dispatches today reported the civil
evacuation of Venice had practically
been completed. A few families have
insisted on remaining.
Confidence that Venice would be
saved the despoiling hand of the in
vader was based on the natural OBJ
stacles in the way of an advance close
to the sea coast. From Vecchia, around
which recent dispatches placed the
Austro German troops, to Venice, is
about 16 miles, on. direct line. But
intervening are numberless lagoons
bays and rivers, with marsh lands scat
tered in between. Recent rains have
clogged the waterways to their flood
stages and this was regarded as eX-
tremela favorable TO the Italian de-
tenders.
