GOSPEL MESSAGES
BEING DELIVERED
Evangelist Harold Gibson
Conducts Services Four
Nights Weekly

Evangelist Harold Gibson is de-
livering very interesting Gospel
messages at the services in the
building at the corner of 9th and
D streets.
Last evening the topic of the
message was The Wise Men" and
Mr.. Gibson pointed out five things
concerning these men which he said
are true of those today who receive
salvation.
They were praying men, they fol-
lowed the Star, which is type OF
a true messenger of God giving its
light unselfishly for Others" said
the evangelist. They turned to the
Scriptures when in doubt as to the
way to go. Upon finding Christ
they chose to worship Him, and
went back to their own country
another way. All who find Christ
today will henceforth follow an
other path and like the man of Coo
of old, will say, I have found Him
whom my soul loveth,' and the
paths of sin will lose their charm.
Services are being continued Sun
day, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri
day evenings at 7::30 O'Clock.

To Build a Campfire

Build campfire, if possible, in
a hollow spot on the ground or pile
up stones along three sides to form
low wall to protect the fire from
the wind. Gather number of light
dry chips and twigs. Make a little
criss-cross pile of the driest ones
and light fire with paper. Add bark
and tWigs a little at a time and
gradually increase the size of the
wood until the fire burns briskly. If
grid is at hand, set it firmly over
the fire before it gets too hot and
start coffee or any food to be boiled
on it at once When flame dies
down and a good mass of coal has
accumulated the fire is ready for
broiling, roasting or baking. If fire
gets too low before food is cooked,
add additional wood beneath the
hot emberS. See that the fire is
completely out when leaving the
camp. Charcoal or coke may be
used in place of wood
