with chronic indigestion that |

MEETINGS ATTRACT

The second night of the special
evangelistic meeting being con-
Quoted by Evangelist ]. B. De
Garmo and Singer Sam N. Elsey,
at the Calvary Baptist church,
saw the building filled almost to
its capacity, several having driven
over from Berea where the evan
gelist held a meeting some time
ago. Arrangements are being
made, however, for several more
chairs which will increase the
seating capacity quite a bit, but
those desiring seats will find that
they will have to take advantage
of "come early to get a seat"
The Evangelist's theme last ev-
ening was: "The Love of God. :"
After giving a Bible reading prov
ing the inspiration of the Bible in
the light of prophecy using 1sa.
So, he said he was going to use
as his text that passage Of scrip
ture which: (l) more people can
repeat from memory than any
other passage in the Bible; (2)
which has more teaching than
any other passage in the Bible ;
CD more people rest upon its
teachings in their dying hour, and
| ~ that passage of scripture
which more people by not accept
ing shall spend eternity in hell
John $40.
The audience gave rapt atten-
ton throughout the entire SER
vice and in the closing moments
when with tender tone the Evan
gelist declared: 81 care not
whether you came here as har-
lot, a thief, or a thug, God loves
lyou," tears stood in the eyes of
many.
The subject for tonight will be
"Sin, and its remedy" for Thurs
day morning, conditions under
which God hears us when we
pray" for Thursday evening, Eye
must be born again"
Singer Elsey organized his two
choirs last evening and gave a
cordial invitation to the singers
of the city to take their places in
them. He wants all the boys and
girls in the junior choir.

MNTUCkIANS ARE
MAKING GOOD IN WEST
Madison County Young Men Civ
en- Extra Pay and Recon-
mendations From Kansas

Frank Shearer, who went to
Kansas recently to work in the
harvest fields, from near Rich
mond, writes that he and others
from Madison county are doing
well, making 81 per day and their
hoard. .Shearer reports the men
are not worked hard, and their
dining room menu is quite out OF
the ordinary, and workmen are
receiving the Lest of treatment in
every way.
! when one farmer gets thru
with us, Shearer writes, che Just
sends word on ahead, and the
next fellow knows us by number,
and knows what we are best
adapted to and our reputation for
work, and knows exactly where
to place us. We are assured of
steady work as long as we want
it, and there is "a chance here to
make some money. The other
boys are doing we'll All are we'll
and in good health. We expect
to keep working west and follow
to the north and wind up in Can
ada, where there is more of a de
mand for harvest hands than
here. although we would not
think of quitting and going there
until the work is completed here.
| When we leave this country we
will have at least recommended
tons from a dozen farmers, all
big grain producers, since. every
one are given recommendations
when we finish the work for each
man. Many of the boys have
started bank accounts and will
have plenty Of money Of their
own when they return home, if
nothing happens. Each farmer
has a medicine chest not of IL
quor, but anything for a man
when he is sick, ordinarily, and he
is not locked if he becomes i'll and
loses a half day or So.
Almost every man from Ken
ftucky who has oome here, has a
number of Recommendations. 1t
is fact that while many of the
!ndianians are getting some COM
plimentary papers, we are III the
lead, and the boys are all work
ing for records, They will hand
you an extra dollar or two, and
say, keep the change, and come
