3 TO 0 AT PIERRE

The Miller High Negative debate
team defeated the Pierre Affirmative
by a vote of three to nothing, at Pierre
last Saturday night.
Miller's trio, consisting of Paul
Burke, Ruth Collins and Wayne Fish
er, proved superior to their opponents
In both constructive argument and re-
buttal.
The judges were Mr.. Doane Robin

erson and Sherwood of the Supreme
Court.
As a result OF the win, the Negative
team enters the semi-fnals in the
Fifth District contest. The Miller Az
firmative, Wallace McCulien, Marie
Goeken and Dan Churchill, as a re-
suit of the withdrawal of the Pierre
Negative team, enter the semi-fnals
without opposition.
The two Miller teams, in the next
round, meet Doland and Faulkton.
The Doland Negative defeated Huron 5
Affirmative at Doland by a two to one
count. while the Doland Affirmative
were losers to the Faulkton Negative,
at Faulkton, by the same vote.

THEN and NOW

THEN, near 1000 years ago, q
strange man appeared in Judea. He
was clothed In peculiar garb and his
food was an unusual diet. He was
neither a mixer" an educator, a poll
tician, a lecturer, a scholar, an author
nor a popular hero. But John Bap.
fist was a man of God sent forth on
a divine commission to preach repen
tence and to prepare the way OF the
Lord. How strange were his words:
listen while he speaks: 20 genera
ton of vipers, who hath warned you
TO fee from the wrath to come !
Bring forth fruit meet for repentance,
and think not to say within your
selves, We have Abraham to our
Father for l say unto you, that God
is able OF these. stones to raise w
children unto Abraham. And now
also the axe Is laid unto the root OF
the trees; therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire."
Here is both irony and Put
in the language OF the street OF today
the preacher says, 20 you pious
frauds; you self-righteous deceivers;
YOU proud, self-satisfed blasphemers;
you boosters of heritage; you self
fatterers; who claim Divine fav-
or because OF blood connection, you
call yourselves righteous with no need
of repentance, you righteous! l de-
clare to you that God is able to make
of these stones better men than you
are. You vipers; REPENT and prove
your repentance by humility and
righteous deeds"
How much alike men of all ages
One evidence OF the divinity Of Christ
ianity is that 1t Is as applicable tc
this age as to that of 1000 years ago
Until human traits radically change
we shall need no other gospel.
Then, as now, men prided them
selves on their family tree. their
blood heritage. their social standing
their fraternal and political relations
their financial rating. their religious
| Affiliations, their citizenship, etc. Their
| as now men thought they could &c
by without repentance, without savin,
grace. without the new birth and thu
washing OF regeneration by the Hol!
Ghost.
Today a man OF God is in our mids
calling men to repentance and right
~eousness. As John Baptist was a re
~vivalist so is Leroy Mitchell. AS Bap
lists words sounded strange and wer
hot with fiery truth so are Mitchelri
As / have quoted some of Baptist
words as found In Holy writ allow m
to quote some Of Mitchell's from pub

his lips:

THE METHODIST CHURCH

revival moves on with increasing in
terest. Last Sunday was a record day
in the religious life of Miller, in the
number of services held. and seldom,
il ever, did one preacher address more
people In a single day. DIR. MitchelPs
lectures and m were of NOR,
than ordinary interest and ability and
he has proven himself adept In get
ting the ear Of the public. Last Sat
urday afternoon before a house full
of children he put on a magic and
sleight OF hand entertainment that
would do credit to most professionals,
The children's parade on the street
was an unusual attraction and at
night about a hundred boys and girls
under the direction of Prof. Campbell
gave a most interesting ong program
after which Mr.. Mitchell entertained
and instructed the large audience on
"The Boy Who Played A Trick On His
Dad"
Prof. Campbell's singing is worth
going a long way to hear. We question
IL his equal as a sacred soloist has
ever appeared in the city.
The meetings will continue the re-
mainder of the week and Sunday
morning In the church. Sunday after
noon the American Legion will put o.
a great patriotic program In the Audi
lorium and DR.. Mitchell will then lee
ture. Sunday night and next week
excepting Monday and Friday nights
the services will be held In the Audi
torium. Many are deciding for Chris,
in these meetings and we urge all
friends from far and ear to attend
Them.

the murderer and all the wicked will

That gang OF Sodomites laughed

told them the truth, but when the
fire came they were up against it,"

would decide between the Bible and
the cards. I would burn one or the
other. They don't GO together"
Man don't go to dances to dance
with their wives. they'd just as soon
shuck corn all night as to dance with
their wives"
Temptation is the Devil locking
through the key hole. Yielding is
opening the door and inviting him in

Fatty Arbuckle or a Jake Hamon

Rec Heights had an exceptionally
good forward with a wicked eye, but
she had few opportunities at field
goals. She did garner several points
on free throws and II was that which
gave them the game. For Millef9 the
running center, Mavis Wyland, played
the best. She was In on every play

curate passer and gave her mates at

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Youngl Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttraetIVeness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautl-
fully dark and luxuriant. Just few
applications will prove revelation If
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get a bottle OF
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractivenesS.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant
