PRODIGAL SON IS BASIS
FOR STIRRING MESSAGE


Evangelist Howard Friday night
gave a stirring message on "The
Young Man Who Had Spent His ALL"
or The Prodigal Son." His text was:
And when he had spent all, he came
to himself and said l will arise and
go to my father" Evangelist Howard
said:
This young man spent his time In
riotous living. He absolutely wasted
his time. There are lots of people here
under this tent tonight who have spent
your time in sin, without faith in God.
You may spend your time SO that wou
can make money, and then waste your
money as did the prodigal son. This
young man not only wasted his time
and money but he spent his fathers
and mothers advice. Many sons and
daughters are sending their parents
to their graves, because they will not
heed that mothers or that fathers ad-
VICE. ludt youuB hau vi thae youhs
woman who is recklessly spending his
or her parents advice is spending
something Of rare quality. Young peo-
pie. II you have not been needing the
advice Of your mother or OF your
father be careful. Most every father
and mother covets for their children
the very best. and you should rever-
ence them for 1t. In this age we need
to have more reverence for our fathers
and mothers. This young man spent
his mothers prayers. What are you
going to do with your mothers pray
ers?" =
A special feature Of the service Fri
day night was duet, entitled my
Mothers Prayers" which was sung by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cox Immediately after
the sermon. This special number was
enjoyed by everyone who attended the
service.

The fact that one OF the most We

test OF many OF the residents OF that
part OF town, and Hilburn says that
everyone IL satisfied now.
There are five busses operating
here. each with capacity of 20.
They gave 9-minute service during
light hours, 7-minute service during
rush hours. Since the inception OF
the service the busses have been
operated without variation OF sched-
ule.
The Kendall cars give tn minute
service all day, with 4-minute rery-
ice during the rush hours. This
service Ia virtually uninterrupted
since the finishing OF the paving
