Churches Need Enthusiasm Perseverance Personal Work Billy

There's too much theorizing on how
things ought to be done and too little
practice.
The church needs a baptism of good
horse sense.
The wise man believes In God; the
fool doesn't. The wise man built his
house on the rock; the fool didn't.
There is no greater call for loyalty
to your country than loyalty to Jesus
Christ. too. Show that you're for the
Lord, too, willing to die for either of
them, or both.
What would your country amount
to if it were not for Jesus Christ.
If it's better for you to go to heaven
than to hell, it's just as good for the
fellow next to you to go to heaven
instead Of hell.
If the gospel is a good thing, tell It
to the other fellow.
You can't take anything to heaven
with you but your soul-not your prop
erty, not your automobile, your beau
uful nome or your clotheS-nothlng
but your soul, my friend.
You ought to break your neck to
please God and not to make the devil
groan. lie awake at nights studying
up something the devil doesn't want
done, and then go do it.
Don't go around with your head
hanging like bulrush. as though you
are going to fail. Many fail from
lack of courage.
Where one is won by a sermon, two
are won by personal work.
A lot of you have been dead ones
| long enough; shine up your face and
get a move on for Jesus Christ and
his truth.
When the church begins to move
out for Jesus Christ at high rate of
speed, all the devils will begin to turn
and dive, but we are going of way
: freight schedule for Jesus Christ and
the devils going on the Twentieth
Century Limited.

Do something! A lot of you have

Jesus Christ and his truth.
That's what the church needs-ag
gressiveness! An anxious church al
ways makes anxious inquiries and
when the people in the church become
concerned, the fellow outside is con
cerned, and If you want to know why
| the great masses outside have M
more concern 70 the salvation oil
their soul than has been manifested
/ it's because the church of Jesu:
Christ doesn't care whether they al
go to heaven or to hell.

Romans shortened their swords and
extended their kingdom. You shorten
the distance between yourself and the
sinner and you'll add to the kingdom
of God.
Our Christianity today is too cold;
conventionality is suffocating it.
Faith is courage taking hold. Hope
is courage holding on. Enthusiasm
is courage on fire. Get on fire for
Christ and for the church and the
cause of Jesus and see what the world
will do.

And pretty soon Jesus disciples
came back and they were amazed that
Jesus wouldn't eat and he said to
them, II have meat to eat that We
know not of. My meat is to do the
will Of my Father in heaven. 1t is
more satisfactory to me to turn that
sinful woman away from her adultery
than to gormandize upon food and
let her go to the devil"
So a greater blessing comes to you
by doing what God wants you to do
than simply doing the material things.

gregate of "a items of the fol-
lowing seven species: Yellow

lima pine, white pine, hemlock,
spruce and cypress. Carefully
estimated weights have been
accorded the different grades,
and production weights have
been determined from Govern

will be more beautiful than hereto
 fore. The electric lighting of the decoration will be very artistic. A complete outline of the tree in col lored lights will give to the setting a most brilliant effect. A huge star. lsymbolizing the Star of Bethlehem,
 will adorn the top Of the tree and
 tiny electric light streamers will
 descend from the Star iii shower ef-
 feet, shedding a happy glow into the
 faces of the multitude of cheerful
 little faces that will be on hand to
 receive the Good Cheer of the occa- sion. The symbol of Him will be reflected by the happy sparkle in
 their innocent eyes.
 It is the ambition of the enter prising women of the city who have undertaken this worthy move to make the occasion one of the most successful, one of the most brilliant that has ever been conducted in the community. Truly, it is proposed to make it a fitting observance of the anniversary of the most beau tiful, the most sacred Spirit of civilization, an occasion that will bring real happiness, real gladness to the little hearts that otherwise would experience an atmosphere of gloom upon an occasion so cheerfully spent by the more fortunate ones in life.
 If there is any one thought in the life of real human beings that would be calculated to cause the more fortunate ones to jar loose' from a little money in contribution, it is the thought of Christmas being un- happily spent by those who are not able to enjoy the occa- sion as they are entitled to enjoy. The occasion is most sacred one. Everyone is invited to literally do- nate to the undertaking. The mem- bers of the Professional and Busi- ness Wonlen's Club are gladly con- their labors and literally of their funds. If you are unable to see the members of the soliciting committee, send your donation di- rect to the treasurer of the organi- zation.

AGAINST REPEAL.
 OF VOLSTEAD ACT:
H. L. Remmel Is Not in Fa- for of Light Wines
 and Beer.

Little Rock, Nov 28.-To an ap- peal made this fall to II, L. Rem mel, Republican national committee man from Arkansas, by persons in Philadelphia that he write Prasi- dent Harding urging such repeal of the iVolstead Act as would permit the sale of beer and light wines, MT. Remmel replied:
 You have appealed to the wrong man, The South and West stand for prohibition. They have had some experience in the benefits that have come to their communities since the passage of the prohibition amendment and the enactment of the VClstead law They do not want to go back to the cid conditions, and the entering wedge to the old conditions is the permission to man. ufacture beer and light wines to be dispensed among the people,"
 MT. Remmel made the entire cor public yesterday begin ming with a letter sent him under date of August 2G by George F. Hoffman, president of the Hoffman Corr Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia.
 Following his declination as a national committeeman to appeal to the president to make the pro- hibition enforcement act less dras- tic MT. Remmel received a letter, dated October II, from B. J. Doyle, president of the Keystone Publish ing Company of Philadelphia. to which he also returned an unfavor- able reply.
 In their arguments, both MT. Hoff- man and MT. Doyle pointed out that tho Volstead law is not being enforced, and that the constant violation of it by all classes is leading to general disrespect for law. They also took the stand that the legislation is an infringe ment cn the liberty of the indivi- dual, and was put over" by an or ganizod minority whose attitude was diametrically opposite to that of the majority of American citizens on the question.
 Is Opposed to Modification.
 In answering both letters, Mir. Renmel added to his refusal to in terfere statement of his own posi- tlon in regard to these arguments.

 Frank Hopkins, fine $50.O0. four months in county jail.
 The jury in the case of Frank charged with the cmbezzlement of postal funds, returned verdict of guilty, and the court assessed a sentence of two years in the At lanta penitentiary.
 Henry Jones, charged with pos Sessing and transporting, entered a plea of guilty, stating that he had in his possession only one quart or less. The prohibition agents testi- fled that he had a much larger quantity and produced an affidavit signed by Jones where he had ad- mitted under oath that he had in his possession a large quantity of whis- key. When asked by the court why he had made such contradictory statement regarding the amount he had in his possession, the defendant said, ''I do not remember just what said to the officers, SIS they were questioning me so close" The court then said, "I will give you a fine of $l00.00 on each count, the extra amount being for testifying false ly."
