Alleged Fake Astronomer Bores Ozark Audience

A man calling himself Rev. J. w. Clark, delivered a pseudo scientific lecture on astronomy at the tabernacle last Thursday night under the auspices of the school His subject was The Moon" but he talked about every thing else from baby eyes" in potatoes. which only mature in four years. to weather predic- tions based on observation of far off cancellations. Astrology would have been more appro- priate subject. He came appar- ently well-accredited but surely his credentials could not have been carefully examined. In our opinion he IS neither astronomer nor scientist. He made many fanciful statements which any school boy would recognize as false and wholely unscientific. We understood that he had deiiv cred his lecture at Hendrix College and was approved by Hendrix but this is not true. He did diliver the lecture at the Central College. We have not heard what they think about him there, but they canno> possibly endorse him. He at- tackled the Nebular Hypothesis and announced himself as be- longing to the Moon School" as opposed to the Planetary School. " Here he had himself properly classed. He had a good audience. MT. Stephens, the evangelist. very court eously concluding the religious services early so as to give time for the lecture. Throughout an hour and half the audience attent- lively followed the speaker through mass of rubbish. He had small telescope which he said was only a litlle less power.

Rev. Mcdonald of near Mag. azine who is visiting old friends near here. preached for us Sun day evening. He used this for text What Hath Thou in Thy Hand?" He spoke of Moses and his life with all the hardships. trials and temptations he en- countered. Moses as every bible reader knows was very meek and yet he was compelled to erect altars of repentance. As the brother spoke the DO wer of of God was felt very plainly. He said in part: There is two things l do know for sure about and the first is the office work of the Holy Spirit, and second the call to preach the word of God" For nine long years he said he fought the call with all his soul mind and strength and at the last minute he made the sacrifice. He de- clared he would soon have been cassed with the nations that for get God.

The tabern acle meetings have gone forward thls week with much interest and blessing. Neighborhood prayermeetings have been held all over the town under the splendid supervision of Mrs. Bill. Most interesting store meetings have been held in three of the public places as follows: In Shamblin Brothers. the Fair Store and on Thursday at the Courthouse. Scores of men have attended and every man that has attended has been convinced. that christianity IS not a religion that is to be held within the four walls of a church building and never to be referred to or talked about except on Sunday, said Evangelist Stephens in one of his addresses the other day at the store. If every christian man in this town would make 1t their business especially, at this time, to speak to other men about Christ. there would soon hp many more men lined up for God and the church. Evangelist Ste ephens said there were those who were ready to make all kinds of excuses regarding their coming right out for God but such things are swept away when christian men get on fire for God and go out to reach the unsavod
