EyANGELISTIC MEETINGS
SLOWLY GROWING IN INTEREST
Powerful Appeals, Sledge-Hammer
Blows, Biting Sarcasm and keen
.Humor Unite to Create Interest In
Services.


best yet held by Evangelist OSBORN
here. Special music by a male quar-
tette, Messrs. Leighty, Wallis, Schlltz
and Brewster, and special numbers by
Mr. Osborn and Mrs. Callahan, added
to the interest. The male quartette
will be heard again. At the close OF
the services quite number went for
ward at the invitation of the evangel-
ist. signing cards expressing their
church preferences. Some OF these
will unite with the Methodists and 9TH
ers will go to other church organlza-
tions.
The attendance has not been up 10
expectations, but those who are at
tending regularly are much interested.
Mr.. Osborn does not preach sectar1ah-
ism. One of his oft-repeated express
sion is that God does not know
Methodist, a Presbyterian, Catholic,
Christian Scientist, Mormon OF any
other sect. In or out of any churcn,
he says, 'Ye must be born again 10
enter the kingdom.
His flow of epigrams and forcetul
statements, and his wonderfully
which are as follows:
I'm so busy, so many say. II you
have so much business you can't go 10
church let your business go to hell but
try to keep from going there your
self"
If you don't hear Christ's voice in
American Falls you'll never hear II
in heaven"
Il never was so little as to conduct
a Methodist revival 1 conduct a who
so-ever-wilr revival"
Gust because some old hen or some
old rooster complains l am not going
to stop preaching the gospel.
You can't scald hog in cold water
If the church people of American Falls
- will Just boil over we will nave
great revival"
cone man calls himself a gentleman
and will work hard six days IN the
week, make all the money he can, slt
back on Sunday smoke his pipe, read
his Sunday paper, take his auto ride
and never think of the church or God
unless in a sighting way. That man
God saws plainly is a thief and rob
her" Another man puts on his over
alls. struts down the street lstlessly
and cares nothing for God; says ne
has no good clothes and the churcn
don't want him. These men had goou
mothers and we're raised right, but
they fell among thieves and went IN
the night to rob God.
"Then another fellow will wait un-
til Sunday morning to get his shoes
shined. He keeps the bootblacK from
church and sends both to hell as ne
is a Sabbath breaker"
unndp nice he'd

objection to a bed bug living but

some may say if you don't like
American Falls get out. You listen
Mr.. Gasbag, American Falls belongs
10 me more than the bed bug. We
spilled our blood from the Osborn
family to free this country from for
eign oppression, then knocked oul
