ARE GIVEN Prizes
Mrs. Hartman Gives Tall
On Flu Control at the
Temple. lem

An enthusiastic group of. boosters
greeted Prof. Mitchell at the Monroe
street Temple last night, and the
class yells, songs and scriptural quo
tations were all given with hearty
spirit that even got otapplause from the
main auditorium folks many of
whom came early to catch a little OF
the booster life. As the meetings are
rciosing, the rewards were dist ffbufef
among the, boosters. Mary, Josephine
Hall was awarded a handsome Bible
for being the most consistent booster,
and every other member Of the Boost
ers class will be presented with a gift
copy OF the Book ,.of Psalms. Many
of; the latter were handed out last
night; and members OF the class who
did not get theirs may secure them
from j. Walter Barnes or w. D. Con-
away.
Mrs. William T. Hartman, chair
man Of the Red Cross Town and
County, Health Nursing Service, was
presented, before the church services
began, and later relating the serious
conditions that the two nurses main
tanned by the Service had found in
some homes, suggested a plan of or
ganizing the wards.
It is the aim to have a central To-
cation in each ward In some of the
wards It might be the church kitch-
ems where god nourishing food could

ment, and an emergency hospital
would not be able to handle all of
these cases. She announced that 1t
was hoped to have the entire city
organized by, Sunday, J, and, requested
the corporation Of everyone.
Rev. Gee took as mis- theme, the
words of Jesus Repent, for the King
dom of Heaven is at Hand" He
called attention to the directness Of
the command of the.So of God. 1t
admits of no argument, accepts no ex-
cuses, and, is not a mealy- ly-mouthed ap-
peal. It leaves no alternative. Re-
pent. 1t is the first step. and means
a complete change of mental attitude
toward God. 1t means that we must
think Godward, and then that we
must walk in the footsteps Of His Son.
The speaker lamented the fact that
1t is hard to distinguish church mem
ber from non church members, ana
that this luke-warm attitude had per-
mitted the Devil to get grip on the
church, and that the church stood be-
fore the world, compromised. Rev.
Gee was very positive that the great
World unrest would not down in the
next year or two years, but that It
was symptom of our getting wrong
with God, and TINT peace would come
only when dations recognize collec-
lively and individually the King of
Kings.
The pastor closed the services with
a strong exhortation to refrain from
worldly amusements until after the
Easter period. Prof. Mitchell, Lamar
Satterfield, s.. H. Diemer and Dayton
Mayors sang one special number, the
other special music being a duet by
Prof. Gt,ehell and Mr.. Diemer.
Tomorrow at 230 o'clock there will
be special service for ali the church,
es in the city at the Temple.
At First M. e.
Rev. r. j. Yoak preached last night
at the Methodist Episcopal church on
the subject Remember Thy Crea-
tor" The time'to remember God is
now in youth before the body Is
harmed by sin and before the soul
