Revival Gaining in Interest and Holds Sway in
This Southwestern Country Intensive
Campaign Now On.
EVANGELISTIC PARTY PLEASED WITH
PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE
Evangelist Miller Preaching Some Strong Ser
mons While Musical Program Is
Pleasing Audiences.

The third week Of the Miller Evan
gelistic campaign finds interest in
creasing and crowds growing and the
evangelistic party is well pleased with
the progress made as well as the
prospects Of the future.
Evangelist Miller has already gain
ed the reputation as the strongest
evangelist to visit the city. While
some of the things he says have been
said before, his way Of saying them
and illustrating them, is different,
and he drives home his points in q
truly convincing manner.
Evangelist Miller's methods are
unique but none-the-less effective,
and through these methods is reach
ing all classes of people in manner
not heretofore attempted by any
evangelist visiting Liberal. The large
number of confessions bear testimony
to Rev. Miller's ability not only to
get people TO come and hear him, but
to convince them after they come.
The sermon Tuesday night was on
the subject of "Cards and Dancing
and the way Miller flayed these
amusements was caution. We have
heard many, many sermons on these
subjects, but Miller put new mean
ing and new emphasis on the phrases
and painted the damning influence OF
the dance and the card party in col
ors so vivid that they must needs
stand out in the minds of all hearers.
He told of the baneful effects of the
dance hall and the card room and the
depths which addicts had de-
scended and there is no doubt but
what his words of warning will be
needed by many who made no out
ward manifestation of the fact as
we'll as those who went forward and
took public stand against them.
The mems meetings at Taylor's
drug store and the News office and
Snyder's pool hall were well attended
and productive of good Other meet
ings will be held in the business
houses during the remainder of the
meeting
Z The sermon Wednesday night was
a masterful effort, the subject being
Goods Wonderful Love-"
The evangelist spoke of the won
derful love of David and Jonathan
and reminded his hearers of the fact
that the tender love of Jonathan for
David cost him his place in his faith
er's kingdom and his life. He then
said that still greater manifestation
of love was when there was enacted
on Mt. Calvary a scene Of romance
of love far greater than that of Dav-
i'd and Jonathan. "This scene holds
in its confines the pathetic story OF
how humanity broke Gods heart and
how the tears of anguish flowed down
the cheeks Of Christ as He saw the
stony hearts Of rebellion Of those He
! loved SO much" said the Evangelist.
"The love Of God is wonderful in
its expression" said Rev. Miller, and
likened it unto the love Of mother
for her child, but said "Yet it is but
faint glimpse of the love God has
for every soul that is here today"
He said that God loves the sinner
but that He does not love his sins
and would do anything to. save him
from his sins.
It was a wonderful sermon, full OF
Gods love, of His anxiety that men
obey his laws and turn from wicked,
worldly things and live the lives Of
Christians.
