RESURRECTION
TO BE THEME
Revival at the Trinity Methodist
Church Continues to Excite
Interest in Coed
Sermons.

The preacher at the revival meet
ing at Trinity Methodist church an.
nounced last night that he will
preach tonight on the second coming
of Christ.
His text last night was, What
must | do to be saved? Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved" This was the question OF
the Philippian jailer and Pauls an
swer.
The evangelist said 1t was a
TRANCE thing an earthquake should
open prison doors, but that he was
in San Francisco at the time of the
earthquake and witnessed things
much stranger, and gave a very vivid
description of some of the events ano
told how the awful tragedy drove
people to pray to God. 1t takes a
great calamity to bring some people
to their senses, he said, but IN the
midst of these awful calamities, no
matter what may be their nature, the
old question is on their lips, What
must do to be saved?" The evange'
list continued:
What does it mean to believe on
Jesus Christ? 1t implies repentance
a godly sorrow for sin, not the sor
row of the criminal who regrets that
he was caught, but actual sorrow fol
the wrong doing.
at implies giving UP sin and the
confession Of sin. Make a clean
breast of the whole matter. You can
not up anything from God. God
cannot use a life that is not true tc
Him, and He has a higher purpose
for us than merely to make Us
happy. He wants to use us in win
ming others to Himself.
Saving faith is also implied In be
lieving on Jesus Christ"
Last night was Sunday school
night, and a good audience greeted
the preacher. A number expressed
a desire to be saved, and some pro
fessed conversion. The meetings
continue through the week

= Walter l.. Wells, of Keokuk, died
last July, from wounds received IN

knew about it was today, when at
last the war department notifled
them of the fact.
The telegram from the adjutant
general states that the Keokuk sol
dier is reported died July %, and
also states that he was previously
reported dead, with the date n
cause to be determined-which last
is decidedly untrue, rs the telegram
today is the first one received. 1t
came addressed to his mother, Mrs.
Lyman Wells, who had been gwen
as the person to notify in case or
casualty to the soldier.
The family is naturally shocked at
the sudden news of a soldiers death
occurring last July and the first
word Of 1t being given them the fol-
lowing May.
