REV. DR.. W.. EDDY
Ten Converts at First NJ. E.
Last Night Bring Total
to 211.

"i.,:,s has gone out of fashion ami
we barely hear 1t unless 1t is used
as cliss word on the highways and
it is rapidly becoming obsolete in the
church Of Jesus Christ" declared Rev.
w. j. Eddy, pastor of First Baptist
church, in addressing $500 people in
First Methodist church last evening
at the revival services. III there is a
heaven there is hell" added Rev.
Eddy. The scriptures plainly state
that the good and wicked shall be part
ed and be separated by wide gulf. 1t
lis great mistake to leave out the
reference to hell as it is as significant
as other parts of the Bible. He'll is 5
reality, he contended.
Speaking of conversions, Rev. Eddy
said he heard OF one man when he was
immersed had his pocketbook I'M
mersed also. He did not think 1t amiss
because he said generosity was one
OF the cardinal virtues that Christians
should possess II "a NAH Is sttkeS
after he is, converted he has not got
much out OF Christianity, he declared.
With ten voncerts last evening the
aggregate to date Is 21l with two re-
newals OF faith. Seven Of the con.
verts last evening we're adults. Six
persons requested prayers to be offer
ed in their behalf.
Fifty members Of Fairmont Lodge,
9, Loyal Order of Moose, attended the
service last night Prof. James Hea-
ton, who leads the singing, told the
Moose that he personally knew the
founder of the order, James j. Davis,
better known as Jimmy" Davis, who
at one time was city clerk at Elwood,
Madison county, Ind. HE is very
fine man." he added. He asked the
members whether or not Mr.. Davis
had ever visited Fairmont and they
responded in the negative. Nr. Hea-
ton hoped that the Moose would have
the pleasure of entertaining him
some time. Prof. Heaton told the
Moose that he knew of the splendid
work that they were doing at Moose
heart-the institution of the order.
The members then sang, "Bless Be the
Tie That Binds"
In his announcements last evening
Rev. G. e. Goodwin, pastor of First
Methodist Episcopal church, who pre-
sided, said that in all probability the
revival services would close on Sun
day evening, but that this was not alb
solutely a certainty, depending on the
interest within the next fey days. He
urged all of the Christian people to at
tend Sunday school on Sunday in or
der that there be in attendance sixty
Iper cent. OF the aggregate church mem
bership. Last Sunday the three
churches on the East Side attained
the goal. while on this side the Luth
eran school was the only one thai
reached it.
Tonight the Maccabees and thei,
lady auxiliaries will attend the re
vival services. There will also be
delegations fro mthe Butcher school

evening spied eight chaps grouped II
the gallery and he requested that they

Singing" The men having the "best
seats"-the end ones-sang one Of
the verses.
In opening Rev. Eddy stated thai
he was 80 glad that there was so large
q representation Of men present al
the service because he was always
glad to speak to the head Of the fam
lily. He said that last night was the
fifth time he had the opportunity t.
