Especial Correspondence


Geneseo, Ill, Jan. 21.-"A Prison
er's Testimony" was the subject
of Evangelist Harry w. Vom
Bruch's sermon at the armory last
evening He said in part, Thank
God for Paul, who though face to
! face with death could pen these
words of confidence and hope, For
me to live is Christ and to die is
gain No Christian has a right to
fear death for absent from the body
is present with the Lord. Paul's
greatest foe was himself. Every
Christian is called upon to fight
three foes, the world, the flesh, and
the devil. The flesh is the one on
the inside that gives the two on the
outside the signal to come in.
There will come a day when we will
be free from this inside foe Paul
was converted on the way to Damas-
Gus because God revealed to him he
was fighting God and not a church.
When men wake up to the fact they
have been resisting God and not
man they will treat the gospel invi-
tation with more care.
The call today is for men to
live, not die. The devil wants live
men to live for him land if he wants
any more than he already has in this
town he's a dirty old hog and you
tell him l said so. It's time he
knows his name, he knows his ad-
dress). The average person today
expects to spend his life in sin and
rebellion and then hand God the
ashes of a misspent life. It's not a
instinct in the human heart that
he alone can satisfy. We are, here
today and gone tomorrow and the
only preparation for eternity is the
preparation for time. Many a per-
son has heard his last call in a
meeting like this one tonight. After
Paul had change of heart he had
a revival or a riot everywhere he
went. Jesus said, I am come that
they might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly' In
other words he came to save you
from being a dead one"
a pleasant feature of the meet
ing was the hour of song worship
which preceded the sermon The
choir under the direction of Rev.
Walter Vom Bruch, with Mrs. Wal
ter Vom Bruch at the piano, led the
audience in song.
The entire days program of the
church cooperating in this evange-
listic campaign will merge tomor-

armory. Union meetings will be
held in the morning at 1870 and in
the evening at 1880. A mems mass
meeting will be held at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon The topic of this

sermon subject will be The In
answered Question" The series of

CAN AID
POLITICS BEST
BY OWN METHODS

Joplin, Mo.-Women can assist
politics more by acting on their
own initiative than by initiating
men, according to Mrs. Emily New
ell Blair of tpis city, newly elect
ed Democratic National committee
woman from Missouri.
q believe" Mrs Blair asserted,
women should consider themselves
builders rather than reformers, and
that women can accomplish most in
uphuilding politics by collaborat-
ing their efforts with those of the
men.
Women have a contribution to
make to politics, and can best make
this in their own way, l believe,
than by apeing the men"
Mrs. Blair, a native of Joplin, is
prominent as a short story writer.
and has been interested in poll
tics for nearly a decade.
During the war, she served in
Washington as a member of the
publicity committee of the National
Council of Defense. She also was
vice chairman of the Missouri div
ision of the council.
Always a prepayment of woman
suffrage, Missouri political leaders
of both sexes agree that it was due
to efforts of Mrs. Blair in 191z,
when she had charge of publicity
work for the suffrage movement in
Missouri. that the Missouri congress
sional delegation was swung into
the aye column on the issue.
AS vice chairman of the Missouri
league of Women Voters, Mrs. Blair
assisted in organizing state branch
es of the national organization in
Florida and Mississippi, and while
in the former state was engaged by
the University of Florida to lee
ture on citizenship. In 1920 she,
with national officers of league, at
tended both the Democratic and Re
publican national conventions, and
spoke before the respective reso-
lutions committees on safeguard
ing interests OF women voters.
Mrs. Blair was educated in the
public schools, the University of
Missouri and Goucher college, and
in 1900 was married to Harry w.
Blair, lawyer. They have one
girl and one boy.
