Il know men in York county who
think more of Cole Blease than they
do of the Lord Jesus Christ and 1
know men in York county who think
more of Tom Mcleod than they do of
Jesus" declared Rev. J. G. Huggin OF
Glover, who is conducting a revival at
Trinity Methodist church, Yorkville, in
the course Of his sermon Sunday
night. The minister made the state
ment in connection with his declara-
ton that while men as well as women
should take a healthy interest in poll
tical affairs Of county, state and ma
ton and he did so himself, at the same
time such matters were secondary
compared with the love Of man for
God and His Church although there
were many in York county who were
more interested and enthused over
political matters than they were in
matters spiritual.
Overflow Congregation.
It was an unusually large congrega-
ton to which Rev. Mr.. Huggin preach
ed Sunday night. There were no
services at any of the other churches
in town and each denomination in
Yorkville was represented at the
Methodist meeting in large numbers.
Although the Sunday school rooms OF
the church were thrown open for the
congregation of the evening the rooms
were too small to take care of the
overflow and the ushers were Kept
busy for a time carrying chairs from
the city hall across the street TO ac-
commodate those who had come to
hear Mr.. Huggin. A feature or the
service of the evening was the song
service, strong choir having been
gotten together for the meeting and
the congregation Joined in the songs Oh
praise right heartily.
An interesting part Of that song
service was a duet by Misses Thomas
son and Grant.
Offering for Preacher.
It was announced that the offering
of the evening would go to defraylnS
the expenses of the meeting and as a
contribution to Rev. Mr.. Huggin to
partially pay him for the work that he
was doing.
It was a red hot, straight from the
shoulder sermon that Rev. Mr.. Huggin
preached and one that was heard with
pleasure and profit by his congrega-
ton. He preached little longer tnan
has been his wont at other services
during the meeting; but apparently
nobody was tired when he concluded
and nobody would have objected If he
had preached longer. He dealt with
the common sins and common follles Oh
man in his discourse and repeatedly
drove home the fact that all worldly
matters and worldly institutions were
minor matters and that the thing that
concerned the people of the world most
although many of them did not seem
to realize it was the love OF God ana
the extension of the realms Of the King
upon earth.
Tonight and Tomorrow.
1t was announced that Rev. HuSgih
will preach tonight at 1880 and Wed
ncsday night at 1880. Whether or not
the revival will be continued longer
than Wednesday night has not been
decided according to Rev. j. X. walker,
pastor of the church.
God wants us to have respect 1or
ourselves. He wants us to have good
homes and good institutions for our
government said Mr.. Huggin. fle is
not altogether displeased with our
political institutions and 1 wish that
we had still better laws and still better
officers. But in the midst of our inter
est in these things we should always
bear in mind the fact that we should
have a greater interest in God and IN
His church. You can't be good citl-
zen unless you are a good Christian
and YOU can't be a good Christian un-
less YOU are good citizen. There are
many of us who can and do take big
interest in political meetings and who
whoop 'em up for this candidate and
that candidate who wouldn't lead IN
prayer when the preacher calls or VINO
would stand out prominently in reli-
gious affairs tor anything. There are
those of us who can whoop and shout
when the center fielder on the home
team knocks one over the fence and
he who does this has no right to
criticse when some one shouts the
name of Jesus Christ.
Many of us exercise too much
dignity when it comes to matters con-
cerning God and religion and for
