Evans's Epigrams
Don't wear your lower lip for Z
I lap robe.
! Talcum powder will cover q multi
( ture Of skins, but it's no good at hid
/ ing sins.
/ God will go down in the mud to lff
a man up, but He won't stay there
for man or devil.
A mule can't kick and pull at the
same time. If you are in the church
and kicking it's cinch you amt pull
ing anything.
Going to the devil kicks up more
dust than going toward decency and
heaven, but the arrival isn't nearly 20
pleasant
Don't keep your church 80 cold that
when q stranger puts his nose in he
hurriedly gets it out under the i'm
preston it's hearse.
Uplifting the devil is great idea
and . lot of human societies are on
the job nowadays. Watch out that
he doesn't uplift himself by upsetting
you and setting on you.
When a man lives broncho life he
will have a broncho experience.
This Is the last week of the Evans
revival, and with the three services
next Sunday the lights viii be turned
off at the hall and the meeting viii
be past history so far as Emmett is
concerned The crowds are still head
ing in the direction OF the hall with
undiminished force and the usual line
of wall flowers are ranged around the
edge of the big auditorium each night
after every chair and bench is filled.
Three weeks of capacity crowds is a
pretty good commentary on the kind
of meetings we have been having here
It speaks of earnestness, attractive
ness and sanity and the visible results
converts, have run over a hundred to
date with 4 fine outlook in the clos
ing days of running this satisfactory
number still higher.
Mrs. Slower has won a strong place
for her messages in the hearts of
both High school girls and business
women. Sixty-seven business women
were at the farewell luncheon Tues
day night, when the Methodist ladies
served and Mrs. Slower lec.ured on
"How to be a Success" Our local
ladies are pretty enthusiastic about
the young evangelistic speaker, and
after each luncheon the stores and Of
fices have buzzed with echoes from
the night before. Wednesday after
noon Mrs. Slower spoke to the High
school girls on the subject Of the mod
ern dance. Mr. Evans had ventilated
that pretty well last Sunday after
noon when he treated it from the
standpoint of expediency. Bruce
omitted any reference to dancing,
card playing as inherently sinful, and
argued it off the program of the
right minded man or woman on the
ground that it held no terminating
powers of good or elevation For an
hour and a half he spoke to this point
and for an hour and half the big
,rowd that even stood four deep in
he back of the hall changed from
,ne foot to the other and stuck it out
% the end. Mrs. Slower treated the
subject from a different angle than
Mr.. Evans and drove home so heavily
hat the breach made by Bruce was
further widened- 1t was a pretty
serious crowd that came out from
Mrs. Stover's address and those who
ire trained to think found a lot of
hinkable things in the talk by the
title lady.
The stilt parade Saturday after
loon was the liveliest thing in or
round town Boys and girls to the
lumber of three hundred assemled on
commercial Avenue, and were mount
d on stilts from six inches high to
our feet. A babel of voices filled
be air and the youngsters milled ,
round like feas on a hot griddle
in pans, COW bells and other musi- 1
al instruments embellished the par |
de and every man in the business dis +
rict went out and grinned at the wild !
nimals that were so happy it took
back to boyhood. Seventy j
We cakes were delivered at Mrs. j
airchild's residence and when the {
rmy of locusts came marching back
crew Of women with knives attack
! the wall and in ten minutes there
asnt any more sign of cake than q
lere was of Pompeii after vesuvius d
