 and Worth of Salesmanship.

W. Stanley of Kansas City, Mo. was filled by an audience of zzs1a,s most representative people. 4hn musical program, directed by J. II Ean Hoy, was inspiring, features 4s;x,a a solo by Mrs. H. E. titz, ac- .~es,s3fsanied by Mrs. R. A. Tomlinson, ..-..3 a ouartet number by Messrs. ra;Iev. Van Hoy, Pipkin and Morden. z1;ss willie Nina Pipkin acted as s,3s4.;sf as she has done turnout the 5szE;|ate. A feature of the evening f<am the standpoint of the audience, <s<s the rather marked predominance of the men.
 m McCord spoke in his usual sin @ore and forceful manner, punctuat- it0 his address by the relation of many incidents that have touched his ! 1ife. each of which but served to drive horae some point with which he sas1rht to impress his hearers.
 Some of the high points, perhaps rather loosely quoted, were:
 There is no thing so appalling as the collapse of human character.
 There is no such thing as sud den fall of the character of a man. Always there are events which have Ied up to 1t.
 The forces that rule the world are unseen-masked men and masked women. No one save only yolrself or myself knows the real you or the real me.
 Individuality is the real you-the parsonality the mere shell on the outside. Individuality is the innermost kernel of your being.
 Man is made up of two parts, the f6nscious and the subconscious-- the conscious but one-tenth part, the sub-conscious nine-tenths.
 The conscious mind resembles a sieve on which every taste, smell, sensation and experience drops, <. pouring on down to the sub-con- scious, forming a chaos or unsettled condition.
 The power of suggestion is the biggest thing in the whole wide world. (Here was related. an in- stance of the awful wreck that had followed the suggestion of foul stories heard by young boy.)
 The success of every man was dependent upon the power of sales manship-the ability to sell him. self, his talents, his gifts, to the best advantage.
 The great importance of choosing the right job" was stressed. He would rather his boy should be a frst-class baseball player and like t, than a merchant prince and dis like it.
 If you hate God you will hate k.en; if you hate men you will be hated of men.
 The double standard for moral ity of men and women is as wrong IS 1t is detestable.
 n closing Dr. McCord made three o1Kestions his hearers should give
 their sub-conscious minds.
 First-Absolute fearlessness as rertaining to mental cowardice- Fearlessness to face wrong wher- ever found-all wrong things.
 Second-Confidence. The strength fo say, "I can put it thru and it's Ec;ng to go thru"
 Third-The value of absolute sin eerity was urged. We should, like nn anvil, ring true wherever 1truck.
 With these things in the minds of t1e business men of Mena the evils <NN< are here or that threaten may 14 aefled and eliminated, and grand 944 wonderful community may be se- cured and maintained.
 As closing plea, he urged the 9doption of the blue prints as laid down by the life and works of the Han of Gallilee, as a foundation on which to build
 br. Stanley spoke at Dallas Thurs aAy night, going there on special lnY3tation.
 There will be no meetings Friday 4l&nt, the next being at the Baptist SnQrch Saturday night, when the enter section of seats will be re- sexxed for the high school students, @ll4 all are urged to hear Dr. McCord M n1s lecture on "Dr. Jekyll and Mir Ayde." w M
