LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
 DR. JORDAN ON FAITH
Several Candidates Baptized at Last Evenings Services at Christian
 Church.

A large and inspiring audience greeted Rev. A. Homer Jordan last night to hear the sermon on 'The First Step Of ti.a Way" The song ser vice which preceded the sermon was full of vim and enthusiasm. Prof. Hohsste demonstrates to the people eve-v nfgh- that he is about the pest evangel5stl, singer ever heard in Pine Bluff. HIS solo last night was, Mem ories of Mother"
 During the song service Dr. Jordan bap.tzes several candidates.
 The sermon was concealed in the subject. for the speaker discoursed on the theme Of faith. In very interest ing. enthusiastic, and simple way he presented Faith as the first step in the plan of salvation as offered to the world by Christ. He said in part:
 Faith is not mere intellectual be- lief. Even the devils believe and trem- ble. Neither is faith simply formalis the mere matter of passing through some sort of ritual. Faith is not a matter Of church attendance alone Faith is belief. Not a belief in man. made institutions and other things but it is real belief. Not pelle1 III theories or doctrines of men. Faith is belief in Jesus as the Christ the son of the living God. Faith, of course carries with it an element of trust You may believe intelle ctually and yet not trust. It is trust in God and His word, not doubting, nor substltutns something for the things of Christ ant God When we have real faith Wt trust in God for salvation, hope, an6 happiness.
 "Faith is obtained by understanding the word of God. The more one hears of the Son of God the more he be lieves in him. If we study the Blb! we will have largely increased faith Hearing the word of the Lord is es sential to faith. Faith, then, is tn first step in salvation. Without falt it is impossible to please God. Falt lays hold upon the real life of Christ.
 Tonight the subject will be, "Tur Around" There will be a great son service at 7:45 o'clock.

Mullen Stalks for Funerals.

The mullen has had many uses. The Romans dipped the stalk into tallow and used it as funeral torch. In the middle ages it WAS used as a candle wick by many people. It is reputed to have medicinal virtues for both man and beast, smoking dry mullen leaves and drinking mullen tea being resorted to by those having colds. It won, in England, by reason of it's rep utation as healer of cattle diseases, the name of "bullock's lungwort."

baseball, and If the Pirate owners will
stand behind Bezdek he may be the
man for the permanent job. Who
knows?
Look at the case of Lee Foil. Lee
was appointed manager of the Cleve-
land Indians to finish out q bad season.
No one thought he would stick as pilot
of the club. But he's still there, and
he has had the Indians in the lime
light ever since the owners of the club
got behind him and handed him moral
and financial support.
One of the main troubles with the
Pirates was the fact that they began
playing ragged and often listless base
ball, rs soon as they found out that
they didn't have the stride' necessary
to keep them in the pennant race. They
were discouraged, and Callahan was
discouraged, too. So the club was not
really doing its best.
BeZdek gained some valuable ex-
perience in the handling of men as a
baseball and football coach, and he
has studied players as a scout for the
Pittsburgh club. His fighting qualities
were trained during his football days
with the University Of Chicago, and
while he wore the Maroon he was one
of the greatest backs the Windy City
/ school ever turned out.

Ii Is no cfnch TO take hold of a tail

There are always few joy killers

as much encouragement as the allies

The Pirate managerial job this year
looks just about as big as all outdoors,
and the material Bezdek inherited
when he took the wheel was not cal
culated to bring JOY to any managers
heart. But Bezdek did not hesitate
when the berth was offered to him.
