citation at Sunday Tabernacle
On Their Night.

There was no possible chance of
MISLEADING the fact that the Young
Women's and Young Mems Chris
ttan associations Of the quad cities
were attending services last even
ing for they made themselves heard
as well as seen. A huge blue
tragic, symbolic of the Y. ". and a
similar red one typical of the Y NJ.
with a large banner representing
the Davenport Y NJ were sus-
pended above sections of the taber-
nacle.
The Y W. quite outdid the mems
organization, both in point of at
tendance OF members, in the amount
of noise they were capable of max
ing, as well as in the number OF
those who came forward to reen-
list their services for the Lord.
The Rock Island association girls
were full OF pep and ginger and en-
thusiasm and had prepared a num-
Der OF songs which they sang with
spirit and long before the time for
the beginning of the services were

their numbers.
To the tune of GLORY Hallelu-
jah,' they sang:
Booster, booster, be a booster.
Yell and boiler like you ulster.
Booster, booster, be a booster
For your own Y w. c. A
And to the tune of My Bonnie
Lies Over the Ocean" they sang:
~ W. girls over our cities,

Y. w. girls over our cities
Are surely the best to be found.
Me oh! My oh! are surely the best
to be found. be found,
Me oh. My oh. are surely the
best to be found"
Taking Dear Old Pals" as the
tune they sang:
Dear old pals,
Jolly old pals,
Working together in all sorts OF
weather:
Dear old pals,
Jolly old pals,
We are the Y. W. girls
Girls Can Yell.
They didn't lack in yelIs either
and they gave them with a vim:
We are the girls of the worldwide
fame, Y. W. c. A. is our name; tall
girls, short girls, fat girls, thin, y.
w. c. a. takes them all in. You
don't need money, you don't need
pearls. Anybody, everybody, just so
your girls" Davenport girls didn't
lack pep either and gave a number
of lusty yells-
They quite outdid the men when
it came TO yelling, for the men sort
Ct fell down on the effort, they
probably hadn't practiced as much,
though they did sing a couple of
songs with Rodey sand much TO
ROdey's surprise-Sunday's help.
Mr.. Sunday is not noted for his
singing voice and it was somewhat
of surprise TO everybody when he
joined in singing the line Wave
the answer back from heaven" in
Hold the Fort For l Am Coming"
which the men sang with the an
swer from the platform. Bill was
terribly pleased with himself for
what he did and gave ROdey a look
of See what l did, old top" And
laughing as he sat down he SAID
"Rodey thought I'd sidestep. I just
thought I'd fool him a trip"
Because of the fact that so many
of the association members were
present Rodey again took occasion
to speak of the Y. NJ. c. A. work
among the men in France and to
refute the stories of inefffciency on
the part of Y secretaries that have
cen so widely circulated through

AFTERNOON SESSION.

If you don't believe in God while
on earth and you die unsaved.
there is no possible chance that
you will believe in Him if you are
given few more years of proba-
ton, was the burden of Billy Sun
days argument in his sermon yes
terday afternoon when he poke on
The Second Chance" which he
denies even the possibility. He
yesterday cited incidents from the
bible and quoted scripture which
was most convincing
If there is no hell to be saved
from why did Jesus suffer and die?
There isn't any place to go then
l personally believe in a heaven to
go to and a hell to be saved from
IF life is merely a stage Of pro
baton, how can we hold that the
next stage will result in our reach
ing our final destination? No! You
reach your final destination here.
You decide on this side of the COT
fin whether it will be heaven or
hell. It isn't on the other side at
all. 1t has been proven that as
man gets older he does not grow
better. That was shown in the
days Of old when the people lived
10 times as long as we do today.
Where we live to be 20 years of
age, they lived to be 700. And the
world got SO rotten then that God
had to flood it and scrub it and
keep it under water for 40 days.
And if a man refuses here, on
what grounds do you argue that he
will accept yonder? He'll do moth
ing of the kind.
And punishment doesn't cure.
There are those who delude them
selves and fool others, by thinking
that a short term of punishment
in the world to come will refine
them as God has purified the
fire, and that out of the soul of
punishment, Will spring the flower
of penitence and Of faith and of
purity. Oh, wish to God l could
believe that. 1 wish it were true,
but 1 am compelled to face the
fact that the overwhelming ma
jority of prisoners in the peniten-
tiaries and jails have been i'm
prisoned from one to six times.
No, hell is not a college where you
enter the primary room and come
out with wings at graduation. He'll
is the insane asylum where men
and women will think and think
and think how they have lived on
earth. If a man is fool enough to
follow the devil. then he'll go to
the devils abode and the DEVILS
abode is hell"

the country. He said that a tenth
of the stories were true, but 80 per
cent of them were false and that
the tenth should be overlooked and
the 80 considered. ROdey was en-
gagged in Y work in France and his
duties took him into the front lines
where he was best able to judge OF
the merits of the work done by the
organization of which he was one.
and he said he was convinced that
no work could have been carried
on more efficiently under the cir
cumstances than was done by the
Y. He quoted General Pershing' 5
endorsement and praise Of the
work and gave that as conclusive
evidence that a great work has
been accomplished.
Sunday spoke in praise of the
work of the Y. NJ. and told OF the
part ne played in raising money for
the war needs. In New York alone
I asked what might do for the Y.
NJ. and Red Cross and other organi-
cations and when the people gave
me $124,000 I turned every cent Of
it over to these organizations for
their war work" said Mr.. Sunday
Well anyway, it was a great night
for the Y. w. and Y. NJ.

HILLS MINSTREL
+ SHOW COMING HERE
Premier Minstrel Organiza-
ton at the Jefferson Next
Saturday

Successful everywhere on it's fourth
annual tour. Gus Hills minstrel show
comes to the jefferson next Saturday,
matinee and night heralded as one of
the premier blackface road shows of
the season.
The famous theatrical man, Gus Hill,
went in for minstrelsy four years ago
at the urgent solicitation of his friends,
who felt that his genius for theatrical
production would find this favorable
field. Each year since the first, the
minstrel organization has been
strengthened, and the show this year
is the best that has been sent out by
Mr.. Hill.
For solo singers. star dancers, chorus
voices and end men who are genuine
com edians. the Gus Hill minstrels are
being especially praised this year
| Many of the new songs are included
among the numbers to be offered by
the so1oists and the organization is
especially strong in tenor voices. The
entire chorus. in fact. does ensemble
singing of high order, and frequently
the performance has been greatly pro-
longed because of the repeated encores
demanded. The work of the comedians,

so typical of the pathetic stories of thou
sands of other young American girls OF
the hpast year and of the immediate flu
ture-so potent in its bearing upon the
most vital of the by-problems of this
unprecedented war--its example so rich
ly fruitful of larger, broader, moral
vision-of awakening social charity
sounder sexual philosophy more Chris
tan and more commonsense legal and So
cial rating of a despairing multitude of
unwedded mothers and nameless babies;
whose anguished souls cry out over the
heads of pitiless humanity to high heaven
for an equitable judg ment, and find 1t
there-and not this side of there-where
the judgment Of God prevails, and the
bigoted judgment of mankind is reversed
its lesson so true and forceful-that the
world should hear it, should see it, should
feel it and should profit by it.
And may its outlook bring a measure
of hope and courage to many shrinking,
shamed and despairing girls and a shock
ing awakening to the popular bigotry
which lifts its foolish, o'ervalued head
above them.
For reasons obviously in consideration
of the actual living characters involved
in the story, the author has substituted
fictitious surnames, but has used the
actual Christian names, and has respect
fully altered the name of the >"Down
East" county seat which was Shocked
and shamed" and then born anew in an
image near agin to The Judge of us all
1t is beautiful heart story and a won
derful play Astounding with ludicrous
situations and witty sayings to break the
possibility of sadness, making wonder

urges that the ladies take advantage oil
the matinee performances for this play,
as the night seats are fast selling and
standing room is expected nightly.

Or are YOU the husband in the case? In

funny farce comedy which will be pre-
scented at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday
and Wednesday nights and Wednesday
matinee.
| 1t is direct from the Republic theatre,
| New York, where it was one of the con-
spicuous comedy hits of last season.
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" is described
as fresh, flippant, farcical frolic in
three acts by c. w. Bell and Mark swan,
and has the rare distinction OF having
scored sensational hits in Chicago and
New York in the same season, on the
occasion of its first presentation in both
cities.
"Parlor Bedroom and Bath is said to
contain enc of the most ingenious plots
ever embodied in a comedy. AS much of
it as has been divulged concerns the adj
ventures of an innocuous young husband
who is compelled to live up to his wife s
conception of him as a gay Lothario.
Modest and innocent as he is, she still
believes him irresistible to women and
glories in his imaginary past.
To sustain the Illusion he proceeds to
pose as a daredevil, and quite unwit-
tinglyr becomes tinvolved in - desperate
situation in a private suite in lonely
wayside inn. A carnival of laughter fol-
lows in the wake of his predicament and
a wealth of hilariously amusing lines and

play in lavish manner, the notable COM
pany being headed by Harlan Briggs,
