So there Is only one way to be
saved and that is through Jesus
Christ.
Don't say, "I will wait until the
meetings are over. i will not hu-
initiate myself by public confess
sion"
There is no need to believe II you
are scared to confess 1t.
And I say that you are a con-
temptible. idiotic cur. If you will
hoggishIy and selhshly allow your
selves to be Influenced and moved
to take your stand by the influence
Of these meetings and do not ac-
knowledge it now. Do not acknowl-
edge the influence that brought you
to that decision but wait until 1t is
over then sneak into the church. Do
it now. because then your influence
will help somebody else.
Who Are Youf
How do you feel, you little two-by-
four whisky-soaked fellows who can't
earn SO a week, but turn up your
nose at religion? 1t is beneath your
dignity to be a Christian. Who are
you?
And ye will not come unto me
that ye might have life."
There IL not a reason why you
should not come. Every year you are
nearer to eternity. Every year you
have to live should be a year in the
service of God.
Every friend you might influence IL
a reason. Every nail in the cross is a
reason. Every thorn on the brow is a
reason. Every tear He ever shed Is
a reason. Every stone that was ever
hurled was a reason.
Oh. my friends, IL you can get the
world as a prize for your soul, will
you take 1t? Why not yield to Christ
and take your stand for him? It Is up
to you. And IL you are unsaved when
these meetings close it will be your
own fault, not Gods.

Hoover Gives as We'll as Takes

THE Federal food administrator has KEEP:
faith with the country. He gave the
American people his assurance many months
ago that ii the time should come when the
regulations which he had issued might be re-
.aXed, he would cheerfuly relax them. He
wanted it known that he not expecting
unnecessary sacrifices on the part of the do
meStic consumer and was not using the wide
influence and the broad powers of his Office
TO do the one thing that he has enjoined the
people against, namely. the boarding OF food
products.
Two recent orders have been handed down
by the food administration in keeping with
this promise. Mr. Hoover has removed the
ban against the of any wheat products
whatever by hotels restaurants and other
public eating places. Also he has told the
Housewives who voluntarily pledged them
selves and their families against the
sumption Of wheat, that these patriotic
women need not remain on rigid no-whcar
basis.
In making these announcements, Mr..
Hoover has strengthened himself with every
interest in the country. 1t might have been
an easy matter for him TO have kept the
country upon the restricted diet. whether
conditions at present demanded il or not.
He could have laid up increasing stores of
wheat and flour against possible shortages
III the future. and this might have been ac-
comp!isned without confidinE the fact TO the
preferred to deal differently with the grea;
volunteer army which he commands. He
found that the new harvests are yielding
great quantities OF wheat; that the needs of
Europe are being met without strainng do
nestle resources. and he thereupon concluded
that he would return the public eating places
and the total abstainers among the people
generally TO the same half-;nd-ha basis
upon which the country a whole is
working.
The relaxations. it should be stated. do not
effect the present plan OF h2f-wheat and
falf-wheat substitutes in the manufacture of
bread. That policy remains in effect. but
tens OF thousands of households ard all
public eating places went much further than
the hali-and-half plan. They cut out the
use OF wheat altogether. and l. is this class
OF consumers whom the food administrator
had in mind when he issued his pronounce

they are being dealt with on q strictly fair
basis b. the food administrations they can

powcrs authorizing him TO fix prices all along
the line. but that is as far the law need
