\ Powerful Last Sermon.
Sundays last sermon was a power
full exhortation of all who heard him
to grasp -he last opportunity to receive
salvation which the revival presented.
His text was from Exodus, viii, 10,
And He said tomorrow" He rallied
his waning strength. strained his
spent voice and painted with all his
characteristic wealth of detail the dis
asters which awaited the procrastina-
tor.
Il am begging you, praying you not

A gasp went up when Sunday work

horrors of death to a Lon-Christian.
He quoted statistics on mortality in
the United States as applicable to the
death of his hearers SO pOintedIy that
men paled and women tainted.
There was silence in the big audi
forum, broken only by the occasional
sobbing of women. as he pictured the
fate that faced ehose who disregard ed
his appeal. Women famed themselves
agitatedly as he told them the church
was making no special effort to save
them and that their one great oppor-
tunity would be gone after the revival
was ended.
I'm going away" he said softly.
Farewell, fellow sinners. 1 leave you
with God. I've pleaded and prayed,
but I could not compel 1 leave you

CRY OUT FOR REVENGE
British Public in Outburst of Senti-
ment for Reprisal Air Raids.

London, June 1S.-Public demand
for reprisal against Germany for her
aerial murder raids today reached
such a point that it was believed the
government would be forced to take
cognizance. 4 tremendous popular
sentiment for a Franco-British raid
on some such German city as Berlin
or Frankfort to avenge the murders
of British women and children by
German aeroplane and Zeppelin
piracy of the past week has developed.
A mass meeting Sunday in the Lon
don opera house demanding such re-
prisaI was attended by thousands. A
British airman, Commander Pember-
ton Billing, NJ. P, declared with Eng
lands supremacy in the air on the
western front. such raids over open
German towns could be easily accom-
plished.

British air forces accounted for their
second Zeppelin within seven days N
