Illustrations Showing the Good Effect
of Clean, Christian Living.

Evangelists Hart and Magann held
three splendid services Sunday.
The morning service was one that
will not be forgotten very soon by
those who attended. The speaker
kindly and tenderly laid the neces-
sary emphasis where it belonged in
order that the largest possible re
suits might be obtained.
The meeting for men only, at $50
o'clock was full of interest from the
start. A good crowd of men, filling
the main floor, came expecting to
hear a strong sermon and were not
disappointed. Mr. Hart took for his
text Prov. IL: 10, "As righteousness
tendeth to life; so he that pursueth
evil, purseth it to his own death" In
no uncertain terms the speaker
brought forth truth backed by facts
concerning the once high position OF
man and the depth of mans fall into
vice and crime of all kinds. He said
Man was placed at the top of the
structure of creation, but has sunk to
greater depths of degradation than
any other creature" The speaker
spoke of seed sowing and harvest
