London Evangelist
Makes Big Impression
Penney Memorial Church

The London Evangelist opened his
campaign yesterday at the Penney
Memorial United Baptist church in
fine form. A large and enthusiastic
congregation, considering the storm,
was out to greet him, and the Spirit
nal power of the meeting was very
marked. III the topic Removing
Mountains or How to do the Impos-
sible' the evangelist said: The
church had doubtless lost much of its
original spiritual power through IN.
belief. The great danger today is
that the church of Jesus Christ Shall
become a purEeyor of morals, instead
of generator of spiritual power The
great word of the New Testament is
not morality, but Spirituality. There
is nothing distinctive in the preach
ing Of good morals. The Jews did
this hundreds of years before Christ
was born. What Jesus came to bring
was life, spiritual life. the life more
abundant. He gave power to his dis
ciplcs and said: "Ye shall not only do
this that is done TO the fig tree. but
If We have faith and doubt not We
snail say to this mountain be thou re-
moved and cast into the sea and it
shall ne done" We do not need to
remove literal mountains today: what
we do need is faith to remove noun

but he could thunder forth his con-
domination on all hypocrites. Ever
SINCE he dragged those ancient hum
bugs out into the light the name "hy-
pocritc" has represented about the
worst thing one man can say of an
otE er. But while the wodern church
is not entirely free of hypocrites NV
OPINION IS that most Of the hypocrites
are on the outside today. There are
business hypocrites ana social and
ifatelnal hypocrtes as well as re-
ii%Ious ones. Today it takes more OF
the spirit of a hero than of the hypo-
cflte to be real Christian.

ciety maintained a rest room on Wa
ter street. 1t was located at what is
known as Kate Shannon's lunch
room. 1t all started when several
years ago, the Current Events club
had earned something over a hundred
dollars through a play given in City
hall for them, by Prof. Daggett and
his cast of University of Maine. The
club after that organized the Augusta
'Noman's association. With the above
mentioned sum Of money and many
gifts from friends, a rest room was
furnished. Hard work was why the
room prospered and it was much
used, until it was thought that the
city had outlived the need. The good
Will was then handed over to Miss
Shannon. who ran it very success
fully.
IN 1916 the Q. y. y. club took de-
finite life and the following year it
was federated, SO the club is thus,
five years OF o~e. Before leaving the
Augusta WOman's association, it
might be well TO recall to mind that
the association had. in its existence,
four presidents, they being, Mrs.
Frank Wellman Mrs. A. Z. Barbour.
