JESUS SENSATIONALIST,
REV. DIR. GORDON AYERS
Pastor Opens Question Drawer" a,
Congregational Church.

DR.. James L. Gordon mad a large
audience at the First Congregational
Church last night to hear him answer
the questions in his question drawer"
Some OF the questions and answers
were:
When will the war end? Who will
winr What will be the general re-
suit?
1t is uncertain when the war will
end-maybe in a year and maybe not.
If the victory is based on a compro-
mise 1t will mean a world war q few
years later.
At what age should q young man
establish home of his own7
When he is between 20 and 3o-not
later than 80.
To what extent is q preacher or
evangelist justified in using sensa-
tional methods in order to get and
hold an audience?
Sensation is better than stagnation
Jesus was sensational
Will we ever have a Roman Catholic
President Of the United States?
We probably will after the Catholics
have convinced US that their church
has given up the dream of temporal
power.
DR.. Gordon breaches next Sunday
morning on Lost in the Crowd" or
The Tragedy of Loneliness" and in
the evening on Cruel Relatives" or

Parents of Edward Gibson Ask Re,

police to locate their sixteen-year-oid
son. Edward Gibson. of l27 New Hamp-
shire avenue northwest, who disappeared
January q last. actuated relatives here
last night to again appeal to the local
police to renew efforts to find him.
Gibson's disappearance supplies one of
the most perplexing cases now on local
police records. The lad left homo unex-
pectedly and suddenly, leaving practically
no intimation with his people that he
would not return.
A relative said last night that he had
expressed dissatisfaction with going to a
school here. but that there was no
thought that he would leave home on this
account. She remembered. too. that he
had spoken Of Joining the army or navy.
or going to work, but at the time no ser
iousness was attached to these references.
Since his disappearance the father.
Edward Gibson. Sr., has had 1000 circu-
lars sent out describing his son. Recruit
ing stations have also been canvassed.
Gibson. dispite his youth, is six feet tall
and weighs leo pounds. He has a diago-
nal scar across his forehead. blue eyes
and brown hair

He recently gave the following signed
testimonial:
II have suffered for year or more
with a bad case of stomach trouble and
was compelled to have an operation for
1t. but after 1 was operated on, 1 got
back into the same condition, and had
no appetite whatever My food ferment-
ed in my stomach and was badly bloat-
ed with gas. 1 suffered agony after eat
ing and dreaded to sit down to a meal
was so nervous that 1 could not sleep
at night; my liver was also affected,
which caused me to be very dizzy at
times. I got very weak and completely
run down, lost in weight and was very
much discouraged. l was so constipated
that I had to keep taking some kind of
a laxative all the time which gave me
no permanent benefit. Finally 1 started
to take your Plant Juice and that seemed
to be just what I needed. have gained
eight pounds in weight and am able to
eat anything I want without the least
distress. 1 am glad to give this public
Endorsement for Plant Juice on account
Of the great benefit that I received"
Plant Juice acts almost like magic In
stomach trouble, gas, fermentation,
heavy. distressed feeling after meals AMI
on retiring. 1t attacks and destroys all
poisons in the, blood, corrects diseased
conditions Of the liver and kidneys and
restores them to normal conditions.
The Plant Juice man is at the Peo-
Pies Drug Stores, corner Of Seventh and
E streets northwest, where he is daily
meeting the local public, and introducing
and explaining the merits Of this remedy.
