personal DEVIL" Is
DISCUSSED BY PASTOR

Another crowd attended the revival
services at the First Baptist church
Tuesday night. The Booster band
was much in. evidence and those
present enjoyed vocal duet by Mrs.
G. c. Bennett and Herbert Sullivan.
The pastors discourse concerned
the question of personal devil and
he chose his text from Jonn S:44.
"Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts Of your father We VIII
do. He was a murdered from the
beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth IN
Kim. When he speaketh lie, ne
speaketh of his own, for he is a
liar, and the father thereof" Part
Of the sermon follows.
"There is a devil. There are the
words of Jesus. Can any or yot
deny the statement? Jesus plainly
tells us that such one exists. He
is talking Of person. Matt. 1919,
when anyone, 4 heareh the word Of
the kingdom and UNDERSTANDABLE it
hot, then cometn the wicked one
and cateheth away what has been
sown in his heart. Jesus has made
it plain that we might not made
mistake. Jesus Christ believed that
he was a person and spoke of him
as a person, calling him the evil
enc, the wicked one.
HE is really and truly somebody.

1872, 1st John .3:S, Epesfans 6:lu-1z,

5:19 are all references to the devil.
No person can be f:rmiy rived on
the subject of the truth of Gods
word and deny the existence of the
devil. He has both power and ln-
telligence and he uses them. Ane
his character is wicked The dew:
is to evil what God is to good. lie

1T is not the gambling dens, nor the
brothels, that are the devils chief
sphere Of activity. He has gotten

sermon with another along the same
lines, IF There a Literal Hell?" on
Wednesday night. There will be
services at 2:30 p. IN. at the church
and also on Thursday afternoon, to
which all are invited. Following
the afternoon meeting on Thursday

BEAT BOSS BRENNAN AND
BOOZE
A JOINT STATEMENT OF THE
ILLINOIS SENATORIAL SITUATION

We were astounded when Rev. Robert
O'Brien, according to newspaper reports,
went before the Reed Committee and
fatty denied the statements made to us by
him, concerning the fund he said was as
sured for the campaign of Hugh Magill.
He came to our Office at 1900 Security
Building, Chicago, on Saturday afternoon,
September Is, and in our presence told us
that the group backing Mr.. Magill were
prepared to spend 100000 in the cam
paign, While pressing the claim that Mr..
Magill might win, he also said if they
failed they could at least SUCCEED in
electing Brennan. Notes were taken while
the conversation progressed. We have
these notes III our Office.
A few days after the conference a state
mcnt was prepared recording the facts OF
the interview This statement was pre-
scented to the Reed Committee and con-
firmed by each of US in our testimony.
This statement made clear the fact that
Rev. Mr.. O'Brien told us this fund was
assured. We did not say, however, as
some of the wet newspapers claimed, that
we knew there was such fund, but only
that Mr.. O'Brien so stated in our Office.
In the same connection, he told US of the
hackers of Mr.. Magill and their financial
ability to supply such fund.
