AFTERNOON SESSION

Speaking on The Benefits of
Prayer yesterday afternoon. Billy
Sunday proved once and for all
time to the audience at the meet
ing that it pays to pray. He told
that prayer was almost u universe.
habit, and that whether or not men
and women think they do not be-
lieve in prayer. they do pray in
spite Of themselves. Many a pro-
fessed infidel has uttered prayer,
unconsciously, of course, when I'M
der some heavy stress.
Jesus spent the night in pray
err" said Mr.. Sunday, and the
next day three very important
things in His ministry occurred.
The first, He chose IL disciples.
which formed the nucleus of the
church of today. Whether or not
He talked to God about these men
and their character l do not know.
But the very next day He asked Y
men to be associated with Him as
His disciples. Second, the people
pressed for the healing virtue that
went out from Him; and third. he
sat on the mOuntainside and taught
His disciples the sermon on the
mount. or the beatitudes; those
matchless things that you find in
Matthew.
All right, you let the church OF
God spend a day in prayer and
fasting and see what happens for
the cause of God Almighty upon
the hearts OF the unsaved people.
You let God have a chance to work
through your hearts and minds fo-
one day"
Sunday cited instances OF the eff
fects OF the power OF PRAYER when
he had come in contact with in his
work. and also of the part prayer
took in wars and contests. referring
to the recent war and the call OF
the president fer the prayers Of the
people in the United States, and
the immediate result.
Yesterday was the day set aside
by Sunday as a day of prayer and
tasting for those interested in his
work here in the tri-cities. and
there was a remarkably good at
tendance at the afternoon meeting.
which was a serious discourse on
the necessity of prayer and some
of the results which have been
known to come from prayer.

MANY TESTIFY TO
DIRECT ANSWERS
PRAYER TO GOD

Those who failed to remain for
the prayer services last evening
following the sermon by Mr.. Sun
day. missed one of the most i'm
pressive and beautiful meetings of
the campaign Mr.. Rodeheaver
took charge and a great number of
people gathered on the platform to
join in the observance of prayer
concluding the day that had been
set aside for the special prayers Of
the people.
After the singing of gospel songs
Mr.. Rodeheaver called for sentence
testimony from the people of the
direct answer to prayer during the
time the campaign has been in
progress. Many were the testi-
monies given of the results that
are being accomplished on every
hand, in several instances being
so remarkable that there could be
no question as to their direct an
swers.
Mr.. Rodeheaver then asked that
requests for special prayers be
given and again there were re-
sponses from all over the house,
for business associates, for par
ents. for children, for brothers and
sisters. for Sunday school classes,
for teachers, for bible classes, for
employers and employees It was
a wonderful response Again Mr..
Rodeheaver asked for sentence re-
conservation and the response was
just as spontaneous and instant.
Many young men pledged them
selves to live right with Jesus, en-
pIoyers promised to use their in
fiuence with those in their en-
ploy, business men pledged them
selves to exert their influence with
those with whom they came in con-
tact, college boys testified that they
had neglected opportunities to
speak to fellows and promised to
do so from this time on.
Closing the meeting Mr. Rode
HEAVIER led in prayer. embodying
the requests in his supplication to
God to answer the requests of
those seeking the salvation of
those whom they hold dear.

ACCIDENTS CAUSE
WOUN.DING Of TWO
BOYS SERIOUSLY
Frank Stubs, "A Years Old,
Struck Over Heart by GIanC-
ing Bullet ISIeta Boy of IS
Is Other ViCtimh

The accidental shooting of two boys
early last night, although one was
here and the othe" at lsleta, thirteen
miles to the south, occurred under
similar circumstances. IL both cases
youthful companions of the victims
were the innocent causes. Both boys
were wounded seriously, both of
fthem in the upper part of the body.
Frank Stubbs, IA years old, son
of Mrs. Elizabeth Stubbs and Harold
Shaffer, son of Mrs. Mary F, Shat
fer, 7l6 South Arno street were
studying their lessons together at the
EStubbs home, 713 South Arno street.
After they had finished, Harold pick
| ed up a 3S-caliber revolver, owned by
| the other boy, and was examining it
when it was discharged
The bullet struck the top of the
table on which the boys had been at
work, and glancing. stuck Frank
| over the heart 1t coulu not be as
certained last night whether or not
the wound would prove fatal, but it
was stated that it was s;rious. The
boy was taken to St. Joseph's hos
lpital.
The Shaffer boy was grief stricken,
| He and the wounded boy were close
friends. He did not know the gun
was loaded and was unable to ac-
count for its being discharged, say
! ing that he was only examining it
when the accident occurred.
The Isleta victim of the other ac-
cidental shooting was Guadalupe
Compass, 13 years old. The bullet
struck him in the right arm and
passed through his body. Dr. j. H.
Wroth and Dr., G. s. McLandress,
who were called to Islea. were bring
ling him to St Joseph'S hospital late
last night.
The boy was playing with Oliver
Moore, son of l, C.. Moore, Santa Fe
section foreman, at the Moore home,
and Oliver got his fathers revolver,
a 3S-caliber special. He elected the
cartridges, but overlooked one, and
began swapping the hammer. There
was a report aid Guadalupe fell to
the floor.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Banghart
was sent to Isleta to investigate
when the sheriff's office learned of
the shooting. He reported that it
was purely accidental.

ONE POINT ENOUGH TO
RESTORE PEACE WHEN
BOYS USE AIR GUNS

AS a peace maker Patrolman Do
nicio Chavez is likely candidate for
The palm. He found only one point
to be necessary to bring about ces-
sation of hostilities conducted by two
small boys, armed with air rifles, on
South Arno street. An additional
thirteen points was superfluous.
1t was reported to the policeman
that one of the boys fired at passer-
by, riding in buggy. The man said
that the pellet struck him behind the
right ear. Tho policeman heard that
the boys had fired at other persons
and hurried to the scene of action,
where he found the two boys. They
still had their guns and Chavez
promptly applied the principle of dis
armament, selling the rifles
The boys were told that they might
get them by calling at the police sta
tioh today,
