Wauchope TO Preach
Personal Evangelism
Large Crowd Hears Power of PRAYER
Sermon at Presbyterian Church

The Presbyterian Church was well
filled with people last night to hear
Evangelist Wauchope discuss "The
Power of Prayer" the text being
from Isaiah 50, l, 7, 10.
Mr. Wauchope said in part: "This
chapter teaches three things; the
fact that men are dying of spiritual
thirst; that God is the Great Reser-
voir of the Water of Life; and that
the Water of Life mag flow freely to
thirsty souls.
Another figure that helps to make
plain this condition is that men are
living powerless lives, their eyes are
blinded with sin, and their hearts are
cold with selfishness. God is the
Great Dynamo full of heat, power and
light, but there is switch that must
be turned that the connection NAV be
made between the Dynamo ana men
and this switch is Prayer. Turn
this switch and there at once flows
into the hearts of men the power to
live holy lives, the ability to love God
and men unselfishly and the know
ledge of eternal truth"
The subject tonight will be Pulpit
and Personal Evangelism" and the
subject for tomorrow night will be
The Unquenchable Love of God"
All the people of the City are in
vited to attend these services which
begin every evening at 8 o'clock sharp
and close approximately at 9. Ser
vices next Sunday at II a. m. and 8
p. m. Christian Endeavor at p. m.

WISE MRS. YAJAMA.

A peace petition. signed by 10000
Japanese women who are against war.
Is brought to the women's Press club,
New York. by Mrs. Keji Yajama- She
Is 90 years old. To cross the Pacific
at that ase requires real faith in ones
cause.
Mrs Yajama was the first woman
permitted to teach IN Japan. Talk
about war between Japan and United
States worried her. Expenses OF her
trip from Tokyo to New York were
paid out of her meager savings. When
she announced her mission she was
flooded with commencing letters from
Japanese women.
What can we learn from this old
woman's trip? A lot. Principally this:
In thinking about Japanese militarists.
we should also keep in mind that there
are many pacifists in Japan. Their
numebr is growing. great pity that
all Japanese Young men Of military
age are not as wise as Mrs. Yajama.

YouR RIM.

With everything else going down in
price, metropolitan rents are still
climbing. Government investigators
find that home rents in 80 leading cit
les now average about . per cent
higher than last December and so per
cent more than in 1913
Those figures do not begin to ex-
press the rent hogs profiteering. OBJ
viously, each month when the average
landlord collects his rent he finds HIM
self able to purchase more and more
with each dollar due to falling prices.
Thus the landlords toll on the pub
lies buying power would steadily be
growing heavier. even if rents were
standing still instead of going up.
For, as prices go down, so do av-
erage incomes-the public's buying
power We have depression because
people are not buying. And they arc
not buying for the very simple reason
that they haven't the money to buy.
Take your own income. Experts, fig
uring family budgets. say that out Of
every $40 you spend for living ex-
penses $4,s1 should go, for food. SLY
for shelter. s1.32 for clothing, Sc cents
Tor fuel and light. and s2.O4 for other
expenses.
When any Of the above items OF the
cost of living take more than their
share of the $40, the other items suf-
fer, and sales Of them fall below nor
NAL.
Clothing and furniture men and 9TH
ers have seen their sales slump be-
cause part of that portion Of the pub
lies buying power that should be go
ing to them is being absorbed by ex-
cessive rents.
Laws to curb rent hogs have been
put through in some eastern states
and communities, with success. But
1t is so difficult to get such laws on
the statute books, and so much time is
required, that this cannot be looked to
for real relief on a national scale
Cheap building materials and low
money rates eventually will solve the
high rent problem. Until then, de-
fenseless public win be in varying de-
grees at the mercy of those profiteers
among landlords who are killing the
goose that might be laying the golden
eggs Of perity-preventing a swift
return of good times.
1t Is a foolish policy on their part.
They only imagine that they are BEN
efiting. True. they gain by high
rents. But out of their other pocket
is taken their share OF the toll for
the general business depression which
they are perpetuating

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
POOR Mr.. RocK-FIsH.

The Twins looked in every direction
for the missing wives of the Wigglefin
gentlemen who had sent word of their
troubles to Cap'n Pennywinkle; then
they came to the house of Mr.. Rock
Fish
Mr.. Rock-F'ish jerked open his front
door when the Riddles knocked and
began: We'll! This is a nice time
for you to be getting ho-" He stop
ped, perfectly amazed, becaues he had
expected to see his belated wife, never
dreaming that it v9as anything so
queer as the Twins. He'd never seen
the like of them before. But he was
civil. He stopped waving his little fins
so wildly, and beating his tail around
and Gained himself down. "How-do-
you-do," he said. II thought you were
Annie
"Annie." cried Nancy. who's she?"
"oh, my wife" answered little Mr..
Rock Fish in surprise. Didn't you
know? But come on in. If we're go
ing to keep on talking, may as well
be working!" And he opened his door
still wider.
How do you work." asked Nick.
81 didn't know fishes worked"
IF you'll come in, III show you"
said the little Wigginfin gentleman
with dignity. So the Twins followed
him.
Pretty soon they came to ring Of
little pebbles, and inside it were about
million of tiny dots of things too
small for name. Mr.. Rock-Fish swan
rightover to these queer things and
began to fan them with his fins, faster
and faster until he looked like a tiny
thrashing machine or airplane, or
something like that.
What are you doing?" asked Nancy

WAGES AND NATIONAL DEBT.

Total income Of all Amerlcans was
about SCI, OOO, 900. 900 in 1918. says the
National Bureau of Economic Re-
search. No one knows what it is now.
Probably, wage cuts have reduced it
a third. to $4,000 oOO.O 900. In 1913 it
Was s34, 400,O00.000
Figures with a lot of ciphers after
them do not express much. What these
figures show show, though, is that
tine national debt is equal to about
ctght months income OF all Americans
In normal times. If everyone pitched
In and worked for nothing for eight
months it would wipe out the debt.
That is lot. but not as bad as some
imagine.

CRIME WAVE A MATTER
OF MENTAL CONTRACTION
BY GUSTAvE LIE BON
Noted French Philosopher and Author
of "PsychoIoay of Crowds"

LONDON, Nov s. Crime waves
are all a matter of mental contagion.
The phenomenon of mental contagion
is as old as the world.
Cases in history are without number
f-terrors of the millennium, mystic hall
| fluctuations, massacres, political or re-
| ligsous, the frenzy for duels, the bath
of blood attending revolutionary gull
lotSnes, suicides in the so-caned ro-
mantle epoch of the last century.
Nihilism under the Russian czars
and bolsheyism of today are nothing
other than phenomena of mental con-
tag Aon
a man who yawns sets his neighbors
a-yawning. a smile calls forth smiles,
Tears are likewise infectious.
Frenzied speculation, which reached
fantastic heights about 1919-I920, also
pro ceeded from mental contagion. The
fall IN prices will be largely determined
by the same moral factor.
Attempts at crime due to mental
contagion are not sensibly diminished
because of the punishment inflicted
upon their perpetrators.
Mental contagiou acts upon people
in state of receptive criminaIity The
micrObe OF crime. like that of grip or
typhnd. takes effect upon organisms
ready for Infection.
Perhaps the worst of mental conta-
gions can be the mistaken indulgence
Of jl1ries and courts. To give freedom
to sAeople without any other means
Of existence than theft or assassination
is simply to encourage the worst Of
crime waves.
To cure criminal contagion it is
necessary to use the contagion of fear.
The duel disappeared from England the
day If was known that the survivor Of
contest would be hung as a murderer.
Can humanity be preserved entirely
from mental contagion? Vain hope!
Look al the tyranny fashion exercises
upon the fair sex. All women viii tell
you that their hat or their dress is
uncomfortable, that their decollete can
be Fatal to health. and that their high
heels are unhygienic. But they would
not give them up for anything. so
long rs fashion DEGREES they shall wear
them.
How then can you expect that men
--sona OF the daughters Of Eve-shall
ever be free from the mental and her
editary contagion?

DOUBLED.

That is a long stride forward. 1t
means tat the average person is
twice as well informed about what is
going on, all over the earth, as he was

war, which aroused great curiosity and

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
Nv DR.. &. a. BISHOP
ovERWoRK.

Most people who believe themselves
in Ill health because they are over
worked" are really simply the victims
OF bad air, poor diet. poisons or worry.
They attribute their lack OF normal
has become too great a burden simply
because they have not continued to
observe the few rules OF health, or
never learned to observe them at all.
It is a common fallacy for the man
who breaks down in middle age to be-
lieve himself a victim of overwork. The
college girl often believes her health
has been runied by too much study.
They prove their case. to themselves at
least, when their health improves
when given a vacation.
The truth OF the matter is that they
merely need to give their bodies the
rest, food, air and exercise that they
demand. It is true, too. that they un-
doubtedly tax their capacity for work
beyond the powers of the body, but
their working capacity is only frac-
ton Of what it would be If they took
exercise, were not constipated, did not
eat too much, or ceased to worry con-
tinually.
OF course. there are many cases of
true oyerwork. But if one will use q
little observation, he will notice that
the men who are most efficient, who
get the most work done, those whom
others regard as live wires" are most
careful aboqJ their daily health hab-
its.
There are a number OF simple rules
easily remembered that are recon-
mended by the Life Extension Insti-
tute. They are:
Ventilate every room you occupy.
Wear light, loose and porous clothes
Seek out-of-doors occupations and
recreations.
Sleep out. if you can
Breathe deeply.
Eat sparingly of meats and eggs.
Eat some hard, some bulky some
raw foods
Eat slowly
Drink sufficient water.
Stand, sit and walk erect.
DO not allow poisons and infections
to enter the body.
Keep the teeth. gums and tongue
clean
Work. play. rest and sleep in mod

WHAT GOD DID.

W6RI GOD DID,
with man for a pattern God next
made woman,
And he made them of numerous kinds,
He made them tall ones. short ones,
fat ones, and some so lean,
And he made them with different dis
positions, natures and minds.
He made them in the North and in
the South,
lie made them in the East also in the
West.
But I believe firmly, yes 1 do,
That those now in Florida are the best.
In face, form and figure
He made very few of them alike,
But in temperament and disposition
The same one He certainly did strike.
Some are lovable and as sweet as can
be,
And some just will fall,
Some are blessing to you and to me,
And some are a curse to US all.
AS whole they are the most wonder
full of Gods creation,
And He made them for we ugly men,
God intended they be a helpmate
But, remember. they started us in sin.
However, the most wonderful of the
wonderful
Is the Girl of whom we write,
In making her God certainly showed
favors.
Because in making her, He certainly
made her right.
She is neither too tall nor too short,
She is neither too lean nor too fat
God had His idea of a perfect woman
And believe He made her just like
that.
She has made one venture in life
And it was happy one as far as
know,
l certainly feel sorry for the man,
Because he must have loved her so.
However that's gone and is thing of
the past,
OF which only memories remain
She knows more than we about this
And he has entered his eternal domain
Still she is young and sweet as can be,
She has before her most wonderful
life,
She can do just as she wills,
Remain single or become some mans
wife.
You viii ask, who IS this miss SO
fair?"
I dare not tell her name, you see.
But viii help you TO guess.
By telling you that her initials are
A. z.
And still help you. she is fairer than
the Florida rose,
This Is saying lots. you know,
Because in Florida, dear Florida,
The most wonderful Of ali things grow.
Take your time, little girl in making
your choice.
There are all kinds Of men, you see,
And II you don't find the right one.
Just be patient and wait for me.
Little girl, wish for you long life
OF perpetual happiness.
And ! hope all good things come your
way
And that you win reap your just re-
ward

ment Day. W. II. S.
