Longs for the "Old Ellsworth"

scription to The American from
Los Angeles, Cal, writes:

worth
1.-The Old Ellsworth" be it
known, is the intimate way in
which some people refer to The
American, and to us it always seems
as if there is something like a ca
ress in it.
We prize the frequent letters
from these wanderers from the old
home containing this personal
touch, and showing that The Ameri-
can is to them much more than a
newspaper-it is friend from
home, familiar face, coming to
see them once a week, and chatting
with them in an intimate way
about the old home folks.
Do the wanderers from your own
home see it? Make them Christ
mas present of it this year-a pres
ent that will last the whole year
through.

The Irish situation remains
grave, with solution apparently no
nearer than before the last confer
ence. England passed the buck"
to Ulster but that division of Ire-
land, through its cabinet, refuses
to join in conference on a scheme
for an all-Ireland parliament.
listers objection to the plan is be-
lieved to be that it would deprive
her of representation in the i'm
perial parliament, that it would give
the Sim Fein a majority of the pro-
posed central council, and that the
Sim Feiners would so adjust taxa
tion as to favor the agricultural
south to the detriment of the manu-
featuring north.

Eavies, but no less amazed by the
extent Of the program mapped out

ly, it proposes immediate abandon

GREAT REVIVAL AT THE
 METHODIST CHURCH, SOUTH

The crowds attending the M. E. Church, South, are unprecedented in the history of the church. Sunday night the building was taxed and more than two hundred turned away who could not get standing room. Nearly all denominations are heartily partici- pating in the meeting. Dr. Lee Starke of New York is doing the preaching. No more astute, fearless and able de- fender of the doctrines of righteous ness and salvation as taught in the Bible and by Jesus Christ and His apostles was ever heard in any pulpit. And it is what the popular heart is longing for and has always longed for. The "common people heard him gladly" and so unto this day these same people will joyfully hear His servants when they bring to them the bread of life, instead of stone or a serpent. That is the reason the peo- pie are seeking to hear this modern John the Baptist. He has message from God. He leaves the schools to teach science, but he lets the people know that his m ssion is to preach Christ. The people are coming out to hear him, and they are being saved by the score. There were nearly two hundred decisions and reclamations Sunday, and the whole town is being stirred in a spiritual sense as 1t has not been for years.
 Many declare that Dr. Starke IS the strongest preachers that has worked in Mena for many years. His sermons are in a class by themselves and compared to deliverances of famous pulpit men and lecturers, they are at top notch. Viewed from any stand point his sermons are master pieces. As an entertainer, we have heard famous lecturers under the auspices of lecture bureaus at $20o per night who are not worthy to be compared with him. This is the con census of opinion among competent and the well-informed. Wit and humor and irony flash from his bril- | liant intellect like rays of light from first water diamond. This was only incidental and as natural as spontan- eous combustion. As preacher the ptlpit is his throne He talks like 2 prophet or apostle; he speaks as ar ambassador from the court of Heaven and with all the authority of a mar sent from God. He believes the Bible -every word of it. He believes that sin will kill and that hell will be the place for lost souls. He leaves nc room for doubt that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and that Christ is the only hope of { 1 lost world. Repentance and faith II Christ and life of righteousness art absolutely essential to salvation. IT other words, he breaches the old-tims doctrines of the old-time Bible.
 pr. Starke will continue to preacf every night and three times each Sun day until Sunday, May 22, and every person in touching distance of Mens should hear this noted evangelist be fore he concludes his only Arkansa' engagement.
