REV. 0. B. CHI STER FILLS
METHODIST PULPIT SUNDAY
Large Congregation Shows Apprecia'
ton for Timely Message. Special
Attention Evangelistic Work.

The pulpit at the Methodist church
was filled Sunday morning and even
inging by presiding elder, Rev. 0. B.
Chester. 1t was his first official visit
this conference year, and the congre-
cation appreciated and were pro-
found1y impressed by the timely mes
sages. The text Of the morning dis
course was Proverbs 41-30: "He that
winneth souls is wise" The thought
emphasized b9 the preacher was the
wisdom of scul winning. AN unwise
minister or church," he said, "will do
many things. good things, great
things, but the wise minister or
church will recognize soul winning as
the supreme task, and will put forth
all energy to the accomplishment Of
this end"
Mr.. Chester called attention to the
great evangelistic campaign to be
put on by the denomination and eX-
pressed the hope that the chIrch
would enter upon the work with the
same diligence and determination 1t
manifested in raising $35,000,000 in
its centenary enterprise.
The text of the evening sermon
were the words of the Master in
Luke 1910, For the Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which
was lost" 1t was an appropriate,
practical message, dealing with the
method of soul winning. Emphasis
was laid upon the word "seek," anc
attention was called to the fact thai
the church must employ modern
methods in its conflict with the forces
of evil. High explosives, the thur
dering of pulpit artillery" he said
twill not suffer now. The enemy is
entrenched. If he is reached it must
be by contact. The latest improved
method of soul winning is personal
evangelism. Nothing can take the
place of that" The discourse closed
with an exhortation to the congrega.
ton to grid itself for the task OF
evangelism through personal appeal

A merchant from out Of town
, criticized US the other day. He
said We let people get out too
easily without buying.
We are glad to have such a
criticism. We are glad to have
people 80 out without buying, II
they do not want to buy. We
want them to come and look
without feeling any obligation to
buy.
We do not believe people want
to be nagged into buying. We
believe that when they want to
buy they will indicate that fact.
Which is why our salespeople
are courteous and ready to serve
but do not urge people to buy.
Sometimes women and men.
too, who have had courteous
treatment and upon whom some
body has spent a lot Of time,
feel they are obliged to buy
something or other, Anything
bought for that reason is never
satisfactory to the purchaser. 1t

you stay or how many things
