PREACHER PLEADS FOR
BETTER HOME LIFE IN
ADDRESS TO MEN ONLY
Many Hear Timely Message of
Warning in Sunday
Services
MEETING TODAY
Meetings of First Methodist
Congregation Grows in In
terest and Power

What is regarded to have been
the best meeting Of the series Of re-
yivals now being conducted at the
courthouse by the First Methodist
church was that held this morning
The PASTORS talk was only about ten
minutes, taking as his text: "Breth-
ren, if any man be overtaken in a
fault, ye which are spiritual, restore
lest though also be tempted" The
balance of the hour was devoted ex-
clusively to song, prayer and individ-
ual testimony Of those who had re-
ceiYed a blessing from the meeting.
Considering this to be Monday morn
ing, the congregation was unusually
good. Many business men were in
attendance.
One of the most hopeful signs
Of the good that is to come from
these meetings at both the Baptist
and Methodist churches, is the de-
sire of the merchants and other busi-
ness houses to cooperate by giving
an hour to the services. Many have
so expressed themselves.
Many interesting features marked
the progress of the three Sunday
services yesterday. Pastor Cutters
stirring message at the morning hour
was directed to the young men Of
Americus, his subject being is the
young man safe" taking his text
from End Samuel, chapter 18, verses
32-33, the story of Absalom and Of
his father David's lament. In his
opening prayer Mr.. Cutler asked the
the blessing Of the Almighty on the
success Of the revival service which
began yesterday at the First Bap-
tist church. During the progress of
his discourse the pastor thanked the
boards of stewards for their loyalty
in attendance at every meeting and
to the choir for their splendid music.
At the afternoon service to men
only, the courtroom was completely
filled almost to its capacity with men
n every walk Of life in Americus
hearing a strong appeal from the
minister for a better home life and a
better town, many resolving to make
a practical application Of the mes
sage of the hour in their own lives.
Mr.. Cutler preached from the text
"Our cattle also shall go with us;
there shall not be a hoof left be-
hind" this passage taken from
Exodus, 10th chapter 26th verse.
On account of the Lee street
Church worshipping at the court
house, the night service was the
largest attended Of any yet held.
Every available space in the main
auditorium was filled, many going to
the gallery, which was also com
fortably filed. The preachers mes
sages was on "The Prodigal Son"
taken from several passages IN the
18th chapter Of Luke. The interest
at this night service was fine and
great progress for the upbuildlng
Of the Kingdom here in Amerlcus
was manifested, and there were a
fed additions to the church

Junior Red Cross
Spreads Good Will
Throughout World

Nearly 100000 pupils in the schools
OF America are following the standard
Of unselfish service as members of the
American Junior Red Cross, the an
nual report of the American Red Cross
discloses. This valiant host is rep
resented in 125,072 school rooms of
24,289 schools throughout the United
States. With a service program that
is local, national and international in
scope, the American Junior Red Cross
is working unfalteringly for health
and happiness and in the promotion
of activities among boys and girls
wherever there is opportunity for use
fulness
Increased activity on the part Of
the schools enrolled and deeper recog-
nition by school authorities of the ed
ucational values of Junior Red Cross
have been significant features of the
last year. Carrying on educational
and relief work in France, Poland
Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Albania,
Bulgaria and Rumania, the American
Juniors have Influenced the forming
of Junior departm in the Red
Cross organizations of these coun-
tries. American boys and girls wear
ing the 81 Serve" button of the Jun
iors are proving apt messengers of
the spirit Of good will and mutual un-
derstanding through correspondence
with pupils in schools scattered
throughout the world At the close
of the school year in June zoos
schools were engaged in correspond
ence with like number Of schools
in Europe; 2S4 schools in our tnsulaH
possessions and Alaska territory car
ried on an exchange Of letters with
schools in the United States and South
Africa. In fact, nearly 2,700 schools
with probably 100000 pupils were busy
in this fine act of cheerful communi-
cation, while 8,347 articles passed
through National Headquarters Of the
Red Cross in exchanges between the
interested pupils here and overseas.
An incident of the years advance was
the beginning of activity which will
eventually install Junior Red Cross
in the Indian schools of the United
States
From every section of the country
reports of the tour of the unit of Grip
pied children with their chorus which
came from the Bakule school in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, to show graft
tude to the American Juniors for their
assistance declare that nothing since
the World War has done SO much to
awaken the Red Cross spirit in the
communities visited by the unit.
The work of the American Juniors
in foreign fields Is emphasized in the
advancement Of Fairgrounds, scholar
ships in farm, trade and other schools,
community and school garden work,
and donations of cash and equipment
to children's ORGANIZATIONS. In these
projects SIP, SCOTT was spent during
the last year in ten European coun-
tries, in China and in the Virgin Is
lands

Of Action Covers
All the World

Represented by 1865 members, the
American Red Cross penetrates to
nearly every part of the world. The
insular and foreign roll cali statistics
for the past year are most conclu-
sive manifestation of the Red Cross
spirit carried into the most remote
lands In Europe there are 4,088
members; in Turkey, and active in
the Constantinople Chapter, S,545. Chi
ma has an enrolment of 2,252; Africa,
1856; India, 224, and Australia, 29.
Even Vladivostok, in frigid Siberia,
has a live chapter with 100 members
The Philippine Islands can mobilize
5S,747 under the Red Cross banner
and Hawaii 1868 The total funds
raised through foreign and insular
membership enrolment and sent to
national headquarters in Washington
mounted to $60,216.54, while an addi-
tional $33,350 was forwarded for the
endowment fund of the American Red
Cross. The high seas roll call in 1922
was an inspiring success. The Navy
signed on 1881 for the Red Cross and
the merchant ships 4,141. OF the to-
tai membership outside the United
States SO $50 are registered with chap
ters in foreign lands, the fnsular pos
sessions and dependencies.
