where they will reside..
two came forward to surrender thlr
lives to the Master there was much
rejoicing.
There is a splendid feeling of good
fellowship and brotherly love, exist
ing between the members of the dif
ferent churches, who are working in
perfect harmony together; and the
interest in the welfare of souls is
deepening and denominational lines
are forgotten in the desire to aave,
souls. - '
The broadest and most unselfish
plans are used, to help those who
are just making a start in the Chris
tian life. Printed cards are placed
In the hands of the new converts,
containing the following to which
they are expected to subscribe, leav
ing them free to unite with the

as my persona! Savior, by faith, and
with His help will lead a Christian
life. ...
Name

Believing that churches are God's
Institution for believers, I desire to
unite with the . . church."

prayer at this time, and earnestly
working every day to bring their
friends to Christ.

building,, which they, have been' us
ing for several months, to thir neW
location in the Anderson building
on Second street. They are install
ing some new machinery and putting
the plant in shape for an increased

Notwithstanding the cold weather
a good sized audience was in aieid
ance at the Gospel meetings at the
Methodist church last evening. The
large chorus choir was assisted by
the orchestra. The ehoii rendered
a fine anthem, and tne mu&ic wa
most inspiring.
Rev. W. u. Torrence preacnu a
very helpful sermon 'rou the text
found in Matt. 11:29-30 one of the
most tender invitation f in Gos
pel, Christ's own rueapajje to the
tioubled souls of all a Ren "Come
unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and 1 .will rive you
rest. Take my yoke ujxm y.iu and
learn of me, for I am nienk and low
ly in heart, and ye shall I in 1 rest
unto your souls. For niv yke is
easy and my burden is light."
He showed how God invites all to
come unto Him, and find le perfect
rest which He alone can give from
the burden of sin. lie also suowed
that the yoke of Christ is e.isy to be
borne, because, .as B3iueono has
said, it is "padded with iovo", and
tits perfectly; whll tus yoke of kin
is galling and hard to be horn.
It was a good service, and many
were made more thoughtful hy the

by U. 8. Soldiers
El Paso, Texas. Feb. 12 Thirty
autoloads of recently recruited Hu

American border last Wednesday
night, in order to make a flank mov
ment and surprise Villa and his
forces at Juarez. Four troops of
U. S. cavalry were called out and
stopped the rush.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, in command
at Fort Bliss, has been on the alert
for some days to rumors of a plot to
place a flanking force on the rebel
left at Jaurez by making a rush
from this side, and his men were In
the saddle almost the instant the
news came that the Mexicans were
Rhi.pg down the river bank on the
American side in. automobiles.
The attempt was, made about II
o clock, and the news reached Gen
eral Scott In excited telephone mea
sages from down the Ysleta. road
asking the meaning of the rush of
automobiles down that way.
At the Smith dairy farm, five
miles east, an observer estimated the
number of machines at thirty, and
the telephone exchange operator at
Ysleta, thirteen miles east, made a
similar estimate.
The machines were loaded with
men, those who telephoned said
all armed with rifles, and there were
boxes which were assumed to carry
ammunition in addition to that in
the belts of the men.
Horses are said to have been in
waiting for the recruits since Sun
