RAIN HAS NO EFFECT
 ON ATTENDANCE AT THE REVIVAL SERVICES
Dr.. Hobbs Talks on the Life and Faith of
 Noah

Size of the crowds attending the citywide revival services being con ducted by more than 90 per cent of the Protestant churches of the Bir- mingham district was not affected materially by the rain and incle- ment weather of Friday, according to reports following the night ser vices. Pastors preached to large congregations in all churches.
 Lessons from the life and faith of Noah were related to the congre- gation at the First Baptist church Friday night by pr. J. R. Hobbs, whose subject was: Was Noah a Mariner Or a Myth?" Dr. Hobbs first took up attacks on the truth of the flood but dwelt more par ticularly on Noah's faith.
 Delving inc> mythology of all na- tions he proved that each race had story of the flood. pr. Hobbs used this as an argument in favor of the validity of the story rather than against it. He also cited state ments by certain scientists ,who claim to have discovered evidences of the flood.
 The practical side of Noahs char acter and his faith were declared by pr. Hobbs to be his chief char acteristics. "Noah had faith which inspired him to work at job that seemed to be useless, the minister said. He had faith that inspired him to overcome ridicule-a faith that inspired him to preach for 100 years without convert-a faith that inspired him to prepare for an emer- gency that seemingly did not exist.
 Rain at o'clock interfered slight lly with the monday services at the Jefferson and the crowd was small- CT than that of the two preceding days. However, results were obtained at the meeting. when more than 10 persons stood to signify their con- version.
 Dr. J. NJ. Broadly. pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, preached the monday sermon. His talk was on the resurrection. J. Fred Scholfield, director of music at the First Baptist church, had charge of the musical program at the theatre,

Il do this from no selfish motive,
so far as the state of Colorado is
concerned, but with the hope that
you would find this as fertile a

We have been making rapid pro-

in organizing the wheat. sugar beet
and potato growers, so that | am
sure your committee could proceed
to build on foundation partially

The plan OF the Lowden com
