this matter up with n large number of

that Ardmore would not ask to be en-

Several people have volunteered to
have their automobile at the station

number of automobiles will be volun-
tcercd for this service. Anyone IN
position to furnish a car should not
wait for any other invitation, but
should be present when the train ar
rives.
"Ardmorc has already achieved an

AFTERNOON SESSION

/ For the first time at an after
noon service with the exception o.
Sunday afternoon meetings, Billy
Sunday yesterday extended the In
vitation to any who wished to take
their stand for Christ to come for
ward, and in response to his invita-
ton, which was a complete sur
prise to those accustomed to attend
the daytime meetings, II came for
ward and shook hands with the
evangelist.
Sunday has not been accustomed
to giving the opportunity during
the afternoon, but during this extra
and last week he will probably do
other unusual things. He has an
nounced that there will be special
sermons each afternoon, and the
one given yesterday was certainly
a special one.
Speaking on the toipc, Keep
Your Servant from Presumptous
Sin" he proved that It most GER
tainly does not pay to trifie with
sin. No matter whether God can
pardon your deeds of commission,
there will always be the scare Of
the sin on the life of the person,
which no grace of God can erase.
He illustrated with a story showing
how a cooled coal will not burn, but
when touched, it will leave a mark
and how even though IL one in
their drunkenness, unwittingly
crash their hand through a window
pane, how the scar left will always
remain. So he urged that sin be
Stunned, and not trified with in
any case.
There Is no difference between
doing what you are told not to do
and not doing what you are told to
do. God says, I will curse you be-
cause you didn't help me-
You may look pretty good COM
pared with somebody else, but when
you try to measure up to Gods
standards, you will be surprised to
see how much you lay short Of it.
So they are going about to estab-
lish their own righteousness. They
compare themselves among them
selves, and they measure them
selves by themselves, and they are
not wise. 1t isn't a question Of
what 1 think of you or you think Of
me, but what God thinks of both
of us.
when I yield myself to Jesus
Christ. Gods spirit comes to me
and 1 can go out and do things that
please God and 1 am q representa-
tive of Christ. Without his mind
couldn't do 1t. The most brilliant
men on earth can't do it without
Jesus Christ's spirit within them.
They know of God. but they never
will know him truly until they
yield to Jesus Christ.

GabriePs songs. Sometime" before

they have turned to the other ex-
tremity.

COUNTY RECORDERS
 FORM ASSOCIATION IN ARIZONA

Converting in Prescott, Ari4, June 20th and 21st for the first time in the history of Arizona was a meeting of ten county recorders, from which a state organization of these officials was permanently effected.
 The motive in bringing together these officials was to standardize the fees of accounting, and to simplify the registeration of voters for coming cleo tions. by keepinig with in the limits of the statutes. In this latter phase of the work it is also proposed to sub miti to the legislature a recommends tion to be enacted into law based on the views of all county recorders, which are deemed expedient. It was decided also to adopt a blotter and fee book system of accounting in order that confusion may be avoided be- tween one county and another where in individual systems are prevailing.
 The convention was attended with lively interest and perfect harmony prevailed. The public service through out the State, no doubt, will be immen- sely benefited and graduated system of fees will result in economy to all. The opening session was tempor. larily presided over by L. N Callicotte, recorder of Greenlee county, and later P. A. Mc$wiggin, recorder of Yavapai county was elected permanent chair. man, with Miss Edith M. Jacobs, re. corder of Maricopa county, as secre tary.
 The meeting was held in the court house and among those present were the following county recorders:
