Wheeler Launches Bitter Attack
 at MOdiHCatiOniStS

Washington, May IA recent pc
 tition from the "booteggers' union of
 America protesting modification of
 the Nolstead act to permit sale of , e.I5 per cent beer was assaied to-
 day by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the anti-saloon league, before the house judiciary committee as sample of the lengths opposi- { tion goes 10 make people believe that prohibition is a failure"
 He branded the petition as fake"
 Wheeler told the committee which resumed hearings on bills proposing modification of the prohibition laws, that there never has been as de- termined and widespread effort by hootlegcrs of beer. rum runners, brewers and their allies. 10 discredit any policy of government, as that used to break down the enforcement of prohibition"
 The beer bill if enacted. he ss- serted would mean "multiplicd mill lions' to brewers, whose silence lis golden, especially when others plead their cause"
 Beer of 2.75 per cent is no cure for lawlessness he declared, and to amend the law to permit the sale Of beverage twill feed the appetite which is the cause of evil" He pre- dictcd the sale of beer. would re- store the saloon or it's counterpart" and frustrate the purpose of prohibit tion,
 Even if the law were enacted" he said, "it could not legalize the sale Of 2.7s per cent beer in three-fourths and more of the states where 1t is prohibited by state law. The appeal is based upon appetite and supported by avarice. Americans will not swap the constitution for a mug of beer"

SEES MODERN MAN
 AS MIRACLE WORKER
Speaker at Missionary Convention
 Advances Startling Theory

That the sublime faith in the
 Bible which was shown by the
 prophets of the old Testament and the disciples Of the New, will invest
 modern man even in the goth century
 with the power to cast out devils, dri-lk wood alcohol. or other kinds of
 poison without harm, heal the sick and afflicted without the aid of science. and in short perform all the
 miracles of Riblcan fame. was the statement made by Rev. W. T. Mac Arthur. at the meeting of the semi annual missionary convention Of the Peoples Church of Christ last eycn- ing before large congregation.
 The pastor. Rev. F. l.. Brooks, called the meeting to order and in- troduced Rev. F. Joseph ENans of Boston, who made up the program. Mr. Evans made the principal ad- dress Of the afternoon. taking for his subject: '"rhe Names of Jehovah"
 He spoke Of the different names of God as suggestive of His character and relation to His people, such as JehoNa- jireh. the God who provides; Jehovah nissi the God our banner; Jehovah shalmon. the God our peace; Jehova- -ropheca, the God who heals.
 One of the speakers expected, Rev. F. ]. Richards, was taken sick at Nyack, N. Y, and had to- return to his home, The devotional service last evening was led by Rev. (. R. Atwood.
 Rev. Mir. MacArthur spoke upon the Great Commission" He told his hearers that if they really be- liered the Word Of God and fully ac- cepted Jesus as their Saviour certain results would naturally follow. They would be able to cast out demons, handle serpents without harm, drink deadly poison without fear and heal the sick He eontended that the church did not believe because this result was not evident. He made a very earnest plea for definite stand upon "The Old Book" and demon stration of its promises.
 Rev. F. Joseph Evans followed ! with an address upon the subject: Jesus as Pattern" He called at fention to the fact that in the fourth | of Luke there were certain things | mentioned of Jesus that should be true of others, First, He was as- sGred Of His sonship; second, He was 'nll of the Holy Ghost; third, He was ed by the Holy Spirit; fourth, He was by the Holy Spirit.
 Mrs. Meryin Futile sang solo at | he evening service.
 This morning. the devotional serv- ee was led by Rev. Mir Brooks. The addresses were delivered by Rev. F.. Joseph Evans and Rev. W. T. Mac Arthur. S. F. Davidson Of Boston, poke this afternoon upon his recent rip to Palestine and Egypt.
 This evenings service will be opened with devotional service in ,harge Of Mrs. James C. Cowee Of Troy. N. Y. Mir. Davidson and Rev. David Mason of Africa will be the Ipeakers.
