DEGARMO MEETING

The attendance continues large ut
the DeGarmo-E Elsey meetings at The
Calvary Baptist church Wednesday
evening the evangelist preached an
illustrated sermon on "What it means
TO believe in Jesus" using as his text
with many proof texts the following:
"Then said they unto Him, What
shall we do that we might work the
works Of God?' Jesus answered and
said unto them, This is the work Of
God that ye believe on Him whom He
hath sent John 6:28-29.
The evangelist said in part: "What
to do to be saved, as stated here,
hinges on the difference between a
singular and plural word. They ask
Jesus what work (pfural, meaning
many things) they might do to be
saved Jesus said this is the work
(singular, meaning one thing of God,
that you believe on Jesus, whom God
hath sent. In the light of this passage
the many things men have taught to
be saved, such as good life, keeping
the law and baptism, crumble away,
and Tie one thing remains, and that
one thing is, believe on Jesus" He
used a box to illustrate the difference
between believing "about" Jesus and
believing son" Jesus.
Singer Elsey sang "What are they
doing in Heaven"

>''PM GOING TO LIVE, i"
SAYS GEORGE ESTES
Wonderful Vitality Shown By
Young Man, Who Also Ac-

George Estes, one of the two sur
vivors of the Irvine tragedy, altho
shot through vital parts and suffer-
ing intense pain as a result of his
wounds and subsequent operations,
has refused to make dying state
torney, sent to the Pattie a. Clay
hospital to obtain evidence of the
shooting which has already terminal
ed in the death of two men. Young
Estes said there was nothing doing ir

give any information desired regard
ing the shooting and murder Of Mar
shall Philpot.

vas dug the lead out of me and 1 am
going to get WE'LL" said the suffering
prisoner, displaying wonderful vital
ity. 81 expect to get out of this and
tell the court how it all happened"
Estes maintain that he will recover,
and his condition indicates this more
clearly every day, according to the
estimation of Dr.. o. F. Hume, who is
keeping careful watch on the interest
ing patient. Estes openly maintains
that he is not sufficiently injured to
die, and that he will soon be able to
be up and around" He is showing
'emarkable nerve, for while talking
The muscles of his face will twitch,
and he will give slight groan, then
resume his recitation of the manner
in which Deputy Sheriff Reed was
killed and he himself seriously hurt.
The bullet plowed thru Estes liver
and other vital organs, and his death
was momentarily expected for two
days after his arrival at the hospital,
where he was finally taken after nav
ing suffered from the loss of blood
for several hours without attendance.
1t was with the intention of secur-
ing some evidence against the other
remaining participant in the affair
that the statements were sought. The
misunderstanding prisoner-refused
saying he would tell all when the
proper time came. DR., Hume believes
now that Estes really has a chance
ior recovery. Estes repeats the same
tory, duplicating Detective Joseph
Spivy, declaring he fired the shots,
md was in Irvine instead of along
The railway where he was employed.
Estes also maintains that he had TO
revolver at an time, not even a pen
