ADVENT CHURCH
MISSION OPENS
SUNDAY MORNING
e. c. Mercer Makes Vivid
Appeal In Opening Re-
vival Meetings

Before congregation that crowded
the Church of the Advent to its ca
pacity, the Mercer-Hadley mission,
which is to extend through the week,
opened Sunday morning at the ii
o'clock services when e. C. Mercer,
layman-missioner, made his first ad-
dress. Mr.. Mercer seemed to be fully
cognizant of the responsive attitude of
his hearers, as he, in graphic words,
described the experience of his life,
which he designated as Twentieth
Century Miracle"
In his opening remarks Mr.. Mercer
declared that the greatest need Of the
world today was for men and women
to enter into closer relationship with
q personal Christ" a living, loving
Christ who hadi power to save and re-
deem those who turned and gave their
hearts to Him. He said the personal
Christ was being replaced by a "tra-
ditionnl Christ" in many instances and
said that such al Christ brought neither
comfort to the sin-laden nor promise to
those who professed Christianity. He
urged his hearers to take the personal
Christ into their hearts, their homes
and their businesses in order that err
ring or falteringt souls might be brought
INTO the kingdom of God.
Outlines Life
In speaking Of the saving power of
Christ, Mr.. Mercer asked the indulgence
OF the congregation while he outlined
his life and experience; his fall and de-
graduation and his subsequent CONVEX
sion.
Mr.. Mercer was born and reared in
Savannah, Ga, his people belonging to
the cultured and social world. He grew
mp amidst surroundings of ease and
affluence, was confirmed in the church
and had every possibility of becoming
useful member of the community. But
during his early youth be fell in evil
says, became addicted to strong drink
and bad company, aud soon reached a
Stage where he was disowned by his
family and friends.
He 1eft bis home t,pwn and drifted to
New York. where he became STEPPED in
degradation, was ostipcised by all his
kin and acquaintance and finally
sought relief in the East river. Pre-
vented from taking his life by a police
man, who sympa thixings with him in his
position, asked him IL there was no one
IN New York who would take an inter
est in him. He replied he had a cousin
in the city and that he would look him
up. He did so and his relative, in a
Kindly and sympathetic manner, urged
him to give up his life of sin and turn
tp Christ. This was the starting point
81 his return to decency and honor and
his active service to the living Christ"
70 whom he attributes the power which
saved him from a death of shame and
sin.
Goes To Mission
q Directed By his cousin, he went to
the well-known "Jerry MctcauHey's Mis-
SION" where, under the influence of its
leaders, became penitent of sin and
found that he desired to dedicate his
life to God. He entered into. the mission
work with earnestness and zea1 and in

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 25.-True under
standing between Great Britain and
the United States Is based upon the
actual transactions OF business folks
on both sides of the Atlantic and
noe upon what people say about
Anglo American. relations. said Rob-
ert p. Skinner, United States consul
general here, in addressing the an
nual meeting of the American Cham
ber of Commerce today.
He said the. value of British goods
exported to the United States in
creased from 1858, 100000 in 1922 to
1895. 900. 900 In 1923.
Perhaps, it is a little venturesome
to mention protective tariff in this
company" he continued, but still
cannot but remind myself that only
one year ago we were hearing lamen-
tations on every side. and within this
chamber of commerce respecting the
anticipated effect Of the new tariff"
Every now and then. he added. he
heard disagreeable words about
Anglo American relations. On such
occasions he usually went to his
window in the consulate and looked
upon the streets below where at GER
tain hours of the day he was fairly
sure to see long line of persons
holding in their hands commercial
through his office. This sight. he
added, Immediately reassured him
that Anglo American relations were
functioning as usual.

riously disappeared from his home
in Massillon, Ohio, in August. 1919.
and for whom nation wide search
has been conducted. was found in st.
Louis yesterday bearing the name
of James Ryan. An apparent victim
of amnesia, he explained to reporters
and the police that during four years
OF wandering he has worked hard
and could not remember clearly the
relatives in Ohio who have sought
him.
He denied at first that he was
Dyer. stating that he once had met
such man In Chicago. When shown
messages and data from his relatives
and friends in MasSillon who identi-
fed him by a description sent by
wire several days ago, he finally ad-
mitted his identity.
Asked his reasons for leaving home
he orJy strokes his chin I'D replies
that the whole affair puzzles him.
He alludes to an operation in 1917,
which he claims resulted in his pres
ent inability to remember things. but
can give no details Of the operation.
l. ]. Heinrichs, with whom the
youth has been rooming, said he had
known Dyer for some time and had
obtained work for him at Il stove

parently was in mental distress, had
taken him into his hS.le.
