MONEY LOSSLS
CALLEDA'CROSS'
Evangelist breaches A
Strong Sermon On
Cross Bearing

Deep interest is being maintained
in the revival services being held in
the First Baptist Church under the
direction Of Dr. w II. Sledge, who
delivers twice daily strong sermons
to the large crowds.
Dr. Sledge took for his text Thurs
day afternoon Gross Bearing" en-
phasizing the fact that each individ-
uaI has a cross to bear through life,
which should be done with Il courage
and fcrtitude Of the soldier of Christ
which he processes to be. He also
said that a fact connected with cross
bearing is that the longer one is
borne the lighter it becomes. Among
the crosses Of the present time, he
said, are included financial losses,
which are assuming gigantic proper
tions in the ratio of mental WorrT
placed on them DIR. Sledge Offered a
word of comfort in citing many in
stances of financial losses proving a
blessing to the loser.
"Look at job said he. Every
thing that job possessed was taken
from his save his own life, and even
that was so manacIcd with disease
and main that it was not worth con-
sidering. But in the end it brought
a blessing that was multiplied many
times over his former prosperity
Other crosses mentioned were sick
ness, bereavement, and the cross Of
taking up the work which Christ has
committed to his servants for carry
ing on.
The subject for the evening serv-
ice was "The Lost Coin" Three
thoughts were outstanding in his re
marks: That which is lost is of no
use and by the very fact of its being
lost, can be of no service. Second,
that because Of the fact it is lost, II
accumuIates a value hitherto unsus-
pccted. The fact that God permit
ed His Son to die on the cross for
mankind is His estimate of the value
of the human soul Third, the dire
need of seeking the lost. 1t was al
this point that DR.. Sledge drew a
beautiful picture Of the shepherd
seeking the lost sheep,
Dead Yet living" will constitute
the text of the address which DR..
Sledge will deliver Sunday afternoon
at a o'clock to the men only. A mes
sage will be given which will be vir-
lie. direct and Convincing and an in
vitation is extended to all the men
of Americus to be present to hear
him on this important subject.

MODERN woopnrN OF AMERICA

AT the regular meeting Of Camp Illi
Thursday evening much enthusiasm
was shown regarding sending the For
osters team to 81. Louis to attend
tho Head Camp and boost for the next
Head Camp for Pueblo. which win be
held in 1928. We sec no reason why
1t should not be held in Pueblo as the
delegates would have a good chance to
visit the sanatorium maintained by
this society few miles north OF Col
orado Springs and see what great work
are afflicted with the great white
plague. More than one million mem
bcrs and sixteen thousand local camps
will be represented at this Head Camp,
besides from eight To- ten thousand
uniformed Forcsters would be hero
for tho entire week and take part in
the prize drill. In fact, this meeting
would mean from fifteen to twenty
thousand visitors in tho city for one
week Just think what that would
amount to to Pueblo and our local
camp. After the discussion on the
above, the regular order of business
was taken up and the degree work
given to three new ones. All com
mittccs reported every thing moving
nicely except the sick committee and
