He urged the congregation to get
deep-rooted and well-grounded in
faith in Christ.
"You want the carols of Easter
Sunday and the joys of that day, but
you dodge Good Friday md you
dodge Gethsemane," he roared. "You
want to get close to Christ, for the
closer you get to him the more elbow
room you will have"
AS he painted the picture in his
minds eye of an ideal congregation,
the evangelist seemed to thrill with
joy. 81 would love to see a con

But in the next instant he was again

Concluding abruptly the masterful
presentation of the question of par
taking" with the words that he chad
spoken too long already" he de-
scribed the glory of living a Chris

knowing that Christ was being serv-
ed in that way.

exclaimed, Strengthening up and

"You Dodge Gethsemane."

Speaking of the promises made to
to followers of the Master, the
speaker began in mild tone but in a
moment he was all life, speaking in
thunderous tones, saying:
"Christ has made his promises and
l want you to tell me whether Christ
meant what He said, or whether He
was spouting hot air. When face
that Judgment seat I want to have
lived so that Christ will say, Well
done I know Christ won't lie, and
if l haven't done we'll I know He
won't say it, and won't want Him

The evangelist throughout the SER
vice held the congregation spellbound
as he denounced sharply pseudo
Christians "who neglect Christ for
the God-forsaken applause of the lit
tie clique or social circle in which
they move"
He stirred to high pitch the men
and women present with his fierv,
thundrous invective, delivered to the
accompaniment of the most dramatic
gestures and postures, but at other
times he soothed and comforted them
to all appearances with pictures of
the glory of right living, and almost
moved many to the verge Of tears

MANY RUMORS AFLOAT
Grand Rapids Man Wants to Get. Into
Western League.

st. Joseph, Mo, Dec. 5.-Many ru-
mors were afloat here today regarding
the action the Western league mag
mates will take at their meeting Sun
day. One is to the effect that Ed Han
lon will retain the St. Joe franchise
and that Jack Holland will move his
Hutchinson team either toATulsa OF
Oklahoma City.
Another report is that William Es-
sick, owner and manager of the Grand
Rapids team of the Central league
will buy the st. Joe franchise,l buying
out Hollands interests and co-operat-
ing with Hanlon, of Sioux City.
There is some talk of a 6-club CTR
cult, but the general opinion is that
President Dickerson and the club
owners will find a way to keep eight
clubs in the field. A six-club league
evidently would mean the dropping of

OBSERVE LESS" DAYS
Only a Few Violations of Hoover SUg-
gestions in Topeka.

Yesterday, Tuesday, was meatless
dav, and today, Wednesday, is wheat
less day. At least it was and is for
many Topeka hotels. restaurants, clubs
and the like who have periodically
followed out the Hoover suggestions.
But there were violations of this
rule, strange as it may seem.
For instance, at Topeka's most
fashionable club, the Topeka club,
steaks were served Tuesday At an
uptown restaurant of the first class,
the Chocolate Shop, meat was on the
menu.
There is nothing mandatory about
these wheatless and meatless days. It
is altogether a matter of choice as
to whether the dining halls will CO.
operate with the government in win
ming the war or not.
Where these fast days are recog-
nized the proprietors find only praise
on the part of the patrons. Manager
Jones of the Throop hotel, as an ex-
ample, says that the travelling pub
lie is enthusiastic in its praise of his
determination to aid in supplying the
soldiers with food. Only the farmers
complain. he says. At the Cremerie
Manager Vogt says that the only COM
plant he had all day Tuesday came
from a soldier-and the meatless days
were created for the benefit of the
soldier.
Topeka housewives are, as a rule,
carrying out the meatless-wheatles
principles bravely.
