UNION REVIVAL
MEETING TONIGHT AT
CONVENTION HALL
Continued from page y

be the chief aim of the revivalists in
the Sexson meetings in progress at
Convention Hall. Workers from
the various churches of the city
have been engaged in personal Wis
itation among the business men of
the city in an effort to secure their
cooperation to make these meetings
a success.
81 want to say to the people OF
Ardmore, that | may not be ortho-
dox in my manner of conducting a
revival" the Rev. Mark Sexson
said, but | think the most perma-
nent good can come to the minister
and the church through the chan
mel of Bible study and propose
to use every ounce of energy that
| have to make that practical truth
stick.
John Ruskin said: They who
love their Bibles will not care who
criticise them. Ninety per cent of
the church people of the present age
| do not put it too high, | am sure,
have not gotten deep enough into
the story to feel the compelling
drawing power of the message.
Whoever has Bible in his library
has the Voice of God. The man
ner of right living is an art, and it
requires careful study, and personal
conservation, the same as any 9TH
er profession. For one hour on
Sunday you cannot have the most
priceless thing in the world; you
cannot buy quite SO cheaply per-
feet immortality. But you can be-
gin the process of study and rev.
erence that will revive in you the
normal life.
"The most important moments in
this life, viewed from the standpoint
of Judgment in summing up this
day of your life in Ardmore, will
be this hour, because it represents
the creation of channel. or the
widening of the channel, of rever-
ence which makes for Immortality.
Jesus said, Search the Scriptures,
for in them ye think ye have eter-
nal life and they are they which
testify of me- Now | would have
you understand that Jesus said in
SO many words, 4 have found my
self in Gods word Why not let
that be the experience of every
man? l believe that whenever
man finds himself under the sober
ing influence of that thought, that
he is Gods man in the world, the
process of perfect happiness and
Immortality has been begun. You
have a priceless treasure in your
Bible; read it until God speaks to
you through it."

HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER.
(From the State Board of Healthy

There is no question that long
continued hot weather imposes
strain on the health, although the
direct effect is not generally as
great as people think. There are a
few simple precautions, however,
which are easily carried out and
which will tend to promote COM
fort as we'll as health. Some of the
most practical oil these are:
Breathe fresh air, especially in
your bedroom and workroom. Fresh
air, as we'll as sunshine, kills the
bacteria of contagious diseases.
Wear clothing that is light and
porous. The air should penetrate
to the skin
Live as much as possible in the
open air.
Breathe slowly and deeply through
the nose, not through the mouth.
DO not eat toe much, especially
of meats and eggs. Vary your
foods and eat slowly.
The best foods are boiled milk,
cottage cheese, fruits, vegetables,
bread and potatoes.
Avoid constipation. Moderate
exercise, fruits, Gil, vegetables, but
ter, cream and sugar will aid in at
tanning this result
Hold yourself straight when
standing, sitting and walking.
Avoid medicines. Only physicians
should prescribe medicines.
Be strong ard clean; disease
germs will be less liable to get
hold OIL you.
WORK hard, but get plenty of rest
and recreation.

BUSINESS IN GERMANY
DEAD ABSOLUTELY
Morale Maintained by Spreading Of
Peace Stories.

Toulon, France, May 28.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press
Business, in the peace-time sense
of the word, virtually is dead in
Germany. asserts Sergeant Willie
met, with several comrades, recent
ly escaped from prisoner of-war
camp in Germany and reached
France, and who is on a visit to his
father here.
According to his story, countless
tstores IN Germany were closed and
empty and everything that is being
manufactured is for war purposes
and for the state.
The meat ration, he said, was $50
grams, one-half pound, per week, to
which was added one-tenth of a
pound of grease or fat. Sugar and
coffee were only dimly remembered
luxurieS. The beer was virtually
undrinkable, and the people were
living on potatos and beets. The
bread is said to be indigestible.
Leather had almost entirely dis
I appeared, and the soldiers at home
and many civilians wore wooden
. soled shoes almost exclusively. Sol
diers home on furlough were no
longer permitted to spend all their
time with their families or friends,
but must work part time in the fac
tories.
The morale of the civil and mill
tary population, Vuillemet says, is
maintained by the continual spread
ing of stories about an alleged "des-
perate situation in France" and Ger
man victories. which are loudly pro-
claimed by the ringing OF bells not
yet seized for ammunition pur-
poses

Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The editor of this bulletin was stopped
on Main street few days ago by q
prominent citizen, wearing broad grin
and extending q congratulatory hand.
/ 'sShaks!" said the P. c., That bulletin
of yours is greatI,' "Glsd you like it, =
said the editor. 'sYes, said the P. c.,
my wife and | read it aloud every
week and you just ought to see us
laugh. y The editor blushed. But,
while he was bIushing, and idea occurred
to him. ''By the way, he said. have
you bought any Thrift Stamps lately?"
s'Why no, said the P. c., Il don't
know as l have why?" Whereupon
the editor went home and thought of
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
whats the coed" he asked him
self, .'of moving folks to laughter if
YOU don't incidentally, move them to-
ward the stamp counter? Why touch
their funny bones if you can't, thereby,
touch their 'bones'?"
evidently he decided, ''the time
has come for touch of seriousness.
speaking of touches have
you noticed how, during the past year,
our attitude has changed toward them?
Back in the old days, if fellow was
approached, on Wednesday, for a
fifty cent subscription toward the new
fire engine; got stuck a quarter, on
Thursday, for the Long Branch hospital;
and was soaked fifteen cents, on Satur-
day, for the Sunday School summer
camp: he went to church on Sunday
with a crouch and tried to look the other
way when the plate was passed. What
do they think I'm made of-money?'
he said to himself. Last summer, when
the first Liberty Loan came along, it
scared us to death if anyone who looked
like committee member so much as
paused at the gate. Every time it
happened some of US used to go out
and hide in the woodshed. One man
who had crawled head first into an
empty barrel actually had to be helped
out with shoe horn. And even when
later on, we all more or less willingly
ioined the Red Cross, we used to wear
immunity buttons on our coats for fear
we'd get touched for a second dollar.
But by November, when the second
Loan appeared, we were less panlcky.
The Lord couldn't exactly love US as
cheerful givers, but he must have no.
ticed that we were at least resigned.
And He no doubt knew which we
didn't what the change meant. For
in December we bought few Thrift
Stamps without being house-to-housed.
In January we bought more. When
the Boy Scout drive came, we raised
the fund without murmur. And since
then we've not only bought over 81, 600.
worth of Thrift Stamps, but have
guarnteed a like annual sum to the
local Red Cross!
And the amazing thing about it all is
that, instead of finding ourselves facing
the poor house, we find that we have
money out at INTEREST,"
l don't pretend to explain how it
works; but somehow or other 'being
touched" is like getting money from
home. It's also like learning to swim.
All you need is confidence. Come on in
if you're still on the bank. The
waters fine!
