REVIVAL OF SPIRIT
GAINS MOMENTUM
At EVERY SERVICE
Two Splendid Meetings
Yesterday. Despite
Bad Weather
YOUNG FOLK SERVICE
Special Sermon To B e
Preached By Evange-
list Tomorrow

Growing interest continues to fea-
ture the evangelical meetings at the
big tabernacle, despite rainy and
cold weather. Two splendid services
were held yesterday, one in the af-
ternoon at the Baptist church 5and
one in the evening at the tabernacle.
At the afternoon service Mr.. john
son commended the W. c. T. U. for
requesting the Woman's Club to lay
aside all social functions during the
tabernacle meeting. He also spoke
kindly of the merchants who closed
their stores for an hour so that en-
ployes might attend the service.
Those who closed yesterday, it is be-
lieved, will lead others to suspend
business affairs for a brief period
each day.
At the evening service Mr.. johnson
said it was reported that Sheriff
Hagan had been wounded in the dis
charge of his duty, and prayer was
offered for him and his deputies.
Mr.. johnson also took occasion to
speak in high praise of the state, but
expressed keen regrets that stories
of the bootlegging course had been
scattered over the nation.
Continuous rain did not prevent a
goodly number of interested people
from meeting the evangelist last
night. He spoke from the text "The
grass withereth, the flower fadeth;
but the word of our God shall stand
forever"
After beautifully giving the char
acteristics of the Bible the preacher
said the Bible was not read as it
should be. A child asked it's mother
if the Bible was the word of God
and the mother said, "Yes." The
child replied, eve had better return
it to him as we never use it." We
do not say the Bible contains the
work of God but the Bible is the
word of God. There are too many
places in our country where the Bible
can not be read. If people who come
to our country do not want the Bible
read in the public school let them
beat it. If we could have more of
the Bible read in the public school
we would have fewer criminals in
prison. Every public school teacher
in Pennsylvania must read each
school day certain number of verses
of Scripture to the pupils.
Law-Breakers
An anarchist is one who opposes
the law of the land and violates them
he keeps his store open on
Sunday or sells bootleg liquor. He
is against the law.
Many do not know Gods law. They
take Sunday to fish and remain away
from places of worship and have no
to learn Gods law. What
may we expect of the children where
parents neglect them or lead them
away from the teaching of the Scrip
ture? This is time when man
must stand by the Bible. In some
and even theological
seminaries professors are teaching
that the Bible is not the word of God.
When student in one of these
schools had cut out all that the
teacher objected to he had only the
covers of his Bible left. Skeptics are
denying the inspiration of Scripture
IF the virgin birth of Jesus and his
Men are running after
The doctrines of devils. On one oc-
,asion when a church sang, "There
IS a fountain filled with blood drawn
from Immanuel's Veins, and sinners
beneath that flood loose all
their guilty stain," the minister said
that was disgusting.
When great religious convention
in Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. Masses told
how his son while in a theological
seminary was driven from his faith
in Scripture and left school the father
had to bring him back into the faith.
While telling the incident with great
emotion some in the audience Kissed.
Some spiritualists talking on their
cult recited parts of Scripture as
ghost stories. One of these had lost
