How He Won.


As the sun came tripping over the
banks of myrrh, they gave the signal
and away he went. On and on he
went, over the hill and over the val
leys, and he, looking, saw what FIRST
he thought was a mirage. 1t proved
to be a lake, and jumping into a ca

smile of triumph, said, "Ha, ha!

On he ran, and he saw a woodland,
along the edge of which there trickled
a little stream, and like the hart pant
ing after the chase, from the bank he
plunged in and wading and swimming
and fioundering. he clambered up the
father bank and said, Its mine"
On and on he ran, driven by ava
rice and greed, and when he gazed
to the sky, staggering back, he threw
his hands to his head and said. Great
God!' The sun had passed the meri-
dan. He said, "I will have to retrace
or will lose it all and my efforts are
for naught."
Back he started over the hills and
through the valleys. He came again
to the stream in which he had been
wading and swimming and founder
ing, and he clambered up the farther
bank.
On and on he ran, until he came
to the lake. Hurriedly he leaped
into the canoe and he padded
across and on he went His friends

In the 142nd Psalm, the fourth
verse: mo man cared for my soul.
Life and nature seem to be made UP
largely of contrasts-heat and cold
light and darkness, mountains anc
hills, valleys and plains. rain anC
drought, famine and plenty. sickness
and health, vice and virtue, success
and failure, Joy and trouble, tears and
happiness.
All lives are made up more or less
OF contrasts, but no life In history.
sacred or profane, presents q larger
number, in my opinion, than that OF
David, the author of my psalm ano
text. I am first introduced to him as
q little shepherd boy, and he was
herding his fathers flocks when
Samuel was sent of God to anoint
David. king of Israel, for, Saul had
defied God and made a blunder and
q failure, and God said:
II have got a shepherd boy out here
that Is going to wear the crown in
stead Of you
And the next vision have Of David
is that he has become king. He has
thrown the shepherd crook On the
ground, put the crown on his head
. and he is sitting yonder on the throne
OF Israel; and God kept him to keep
the nag flying when the clouds were
lowering and threatening In the Jew

Poet and Musician.
And then David was a poet Of nc
mean ability; and when read the
seveAty-two psalms of which he was
the author, 1 made up my mind that
there is a man who passed through
all the varied experiences to which
flesh is heir, and he seems nearer
He was a musician, too, and he
played for old King Saul in his
melancholy moods and charmed the
crouch away from the old king
when he was sullen.
And he was a warrior, too, and
the Jews never knew defeat when
David led them on the battlefield
never.
And here he stoops to sin to drag
the name Of God down. 1t seems
strange to me that anybody could
use the words OF my text-you

him and sought his life and Da-
vid had been compelled to fee. and

Billy Sunday got into the game

noon meeting since the revival be-
gan. He said he was tired being
"benched" at the afternoon gather
ings and insisted he didn't want

while he sat on the sidelines. IL
was the FIRST weekday afternoon
meeting he has addressed since lsS'
Wednesday.

For Personal Work.
The evangelists sermon was on
personal work and its importance
as an adjunct of Christianity. He
declared that most church people
don't DO personal work for Christ
because they haven't been convert
ed themselves. and they don't
/ know beans about what Christ has
to offer them"
The trouble with the church to-
day Is that one-half OF it's people
are doing nothing for God. They're
trying to strap Him tn an electric
chair. Only one-half OF at most
two-thirds OF the church members
ever pray. And that's only when
they're sick"
The evangelist told Of instances
where individuals. through person
al work, had led hundreds to Christ
and he pleaded for a greater re-
sponse to the calls for this work.
A delegation from Fredericks-
burg. Nd, livened up the afternoon
meeting. Rody sang q few hymns
and Brewster was at the piano.

Largest and Only Wild Animal Circus

tO3 Sensational Acts and

THE Show That's Different g.
a term given by many prominent
critics to the A.. @. Barnes Four-Ring
Wild Animal Circus. Just why this

when It is known that the program
presented completely upsets the CON
yentional in circusdom, for the reason
that the entire entertainment is
given by educated wild and domestic
animals. ffe '. o. 81
over 1900 OF these animal actors
are comprised in the Barnes troupe.
The animals do everything that the
human circus performer has been
doing. Juggling, balancing, high
jumping and diving, acrobatics, pos
ing, dances, drills, ball playing, bare
back riding, tumbling. etc, are a part
of the things they do. Their profit
cheney is remarkable sight to wit
ness. The Barnes ircus also hears
the distinction OF being the original
and largest wild animal show in the
world. The cleanliness and moral
tenor of its entertainment and bust
ness conduct likewise add to the reas-
ons OF why the show is different"
