Cafe Patron
Locked In

A 3l-year-old man was arrested for
investigation this morning after he
was discovered asleep and unable to
explain his presence in a cafe in the
500 block of Ninth street NV.
The man was found by an employe,
Claxton Royal of 9l8 Nj street NV,
who opened the cafe, noticed that GER
tain articles had been disturbed and
began a search of the premises.
Upon seeing two feet sticking from
behind some boxes in a rear room Mr..
Royal left the cafe, locked the doors
behind him and telephoned police.
The officers found the man sound
asleep on a cushion he had removed
from a booth. He apparently had
been drinking as police could get no
ineligible explanation from him. Po-
lice could not learn how he got into
the cafe, but they assumed he was
locked in at the closing hour last
night.

SALVATION ARMY'S
APPEAL TO SERVICE

"How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spir-
it offered Himself without spot to
God purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God?" Heb.
9:14t
1t makes no difference how black,
how vile, how debased, how debau-
ched, how polluted, how filthy, how
unclean, how hard-hearted, how evil
tempered, how false, now covetous,
how thieving, how murderous, sin
ner may be there is ground for hope
in the death of Christ. 1t matters
not how well-educated, how refined,
how refined, how cultured, how polite
how noble, a sinner may be, there is
salvation only in the blood of Jesus
Christ. All are alike sinners. All
alike need a savior. And there is no
other Savior from sin save the one
who died on Calvary. Education will
not save; culture will not save. Sal
walton is gift of God through faith
in Jesus CJ.r ISL and is made possible
alone because of His death on the
cross; the blood of Christ alone saves.
And the world can supply nothing
else that saves, nothing else that re-
moves the sense of guilt and aliena-
ton from God. Jesus died for me;
that is all I need; that is all my soul
needs. God will accept His death as
my ransom for sin. And So
I'm my hands no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling"
Just as 1 am without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me-"
Will you come to Church Sunday
and learn moi', about this Christ, any
church in town will be glad to well
come you there.
The Salvation army will be glad to
have you visit with them.
