PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
REPORT OF CONVENTION
Meetings in Alliance under Auspice
of Interdenominational Holiness
Association a Success
Aa la rnn.mm, u-if ) rnf.irm ninvi.. !
ments. there is sometimes a nreiu-
dice against the Holiness movement I
when first introduced into a com-1
munity. Two of the principal rea
sons for this are:
1. The object of the movement
being to deepen the spirituality of
professing Christians as well as to
secure the conversion of sinners,
thoro repentance, which Is necessary
to spirituality, is advocated and
urged. Such repentance Includes,
not only that those who desire to
become Christians shall "quit their
meanness", but that they shall con
fess the wrong doings of their past
lives and as far as possible make
them right. This doctrine is dis
tasteful to some church members
and consequently they are opposed
to any movement, whether under the
name of "holiness" or otherwise,
that advocates it.
2. In recent years many "fads"
have been promulgated in various
parts of the country, under the name
of "holiness", for which the interde
nominational Holiness Associations
are not sponsors and do not want to
be held responsible. Strange doc
trines that have been preached in
some quarters and unscriptural prac
tices have created a prejudice
against the word "holiness", which,
rightly understood, is one of the
best words In the Bible. This kind
of prejudice disappears when true,
scriptural holiness has been clearly
presented to the people.
For a number of years past, some
persons In Alliance have wanted in
terdenominational meetings held in
this city for the special purpose of
deepening the spirituality of Chris
tians of all denominations and reach
ing with the Gospel persons who are
not accustomed to attending relig
ious services.
In July. 1916. Rev. Stephen II.
Williams, at that time pastor or Im
manu'l M. E. church in Lincoln and
secretary of the Nebraska State Hol
iness Association, conducted a two
weeks' mid-summer revival meeting
in the First M. E. church f Alliance,
upon Invitation or the p tstor, Hcv.
J. li. Carns. As an otii irowth of
this mcitini:, a le.ral interdenomina
tional Holiness association was form
ed, v.i'.'mv or:tr me ungs being
held on Monday evenings.
A t v : j i : i i's ui'o v.-ord w.is re
ceived from the secretary of the
siaU- asM'C 'on that the services ejf
Uev. A. L. Whitcomb, M.S., 11 I)., oT
University Park (Oskaloosa), Iowa,
could be secured for a ten days' mid
winter convention in Alliance. The
local association voted to accept the
mt. mil appointed the necessary
committees to make arrangements.
The dates for the convention were
Jan. 26 to Feb. 4, but when circum
stances Made it possible for Dr.
Whitconib t remain in Alliance
three days longer than first planned
the convention was continued to
Feb. 7.
The i invention was advertised
Ihru rev.si.vpers, by means of cir
culars and letters and by personal
invitations. In the printed announce
ment it w.i distinctly slated that
there would be no anti-church or
"e-om om ism" connected with it,
and ih;t there was no intention of
organizing any other church or ad
visitiL' change of membership from
one church to another, the object be
inu to d-epeti the spirituality among
professing Christians and secure the
conversion of sinners.
On Friday morning. Jan. 26. Dr.
Whiteoa b arrived in Alliance, ac
companied by Kev. S. II. Williams,
who rendered valuable assistance un

at Greenwood, Nebr., where he is
now pastor of the Methodist church
No meetings of the convention
were held on Sunday forenoons
members of the association being re-
quested to attend their regular
church services at that time. Dr.
Whitconib preached un able and spir
itual sermon each evening of the
thirteen days of the convention.

FiT8l M. E. church, Sunday evening
,an- 29- where the session of the
convention was held at that time, as
were also the services or Saturday
and Sunday afternoons, Feb. 3 and
1. He preached, also, at the Sunday
afternoon sessions of the convention
'and by invitation of the pastors, in
!the Methodist church, Sunday morn
! lng, Jan. 29, and in the First I'res
'byterian church, Sunday morning
' Feb. 4. On all afternoons, except
Sundays and the tirst Friday and
Saturday, Bible readings were con-
ducted by Dr. Whitcomb.
It is not possible to fully express
in a brief statement the good that
lias been accomplished by this nrst
Holiness convention in Alliance. In
Dr. Whitco.i b are combined pro
found scholarship, a spiritual mind
mil a love for the Word of God. Un
der iiis able preaching and the in
structive Hible readings conducted
by him, prejudice melted as ice un
der a summer sun. Those who
came to the meetings doubtful went
away fully convinced that the work
was the very thing needed by the
churches of Alliance to enable them
to fulfill their mission or promulgat
ing the Gospel or Jesus Christ.
The following incidents illustrate
the attitude or the Christian people
arter attending Ok meetings: The
pastor of one Alliance church, at
the close of one of the preaching
services in Reddish Hall, requested
Dr. Whitconib to preach the same
sermon in his church the 'next Sun
day morning, saying that it was Just
what his people needed. A night or
two later the pastor of another
church attended the preaching serv
ice and at the close requested Dr.
Whitcomb to occupy his pulpit th"
next Sunday morning and deliver the
su i;e sermon that was preached that
night, saying that it was just what
his people needed.
I It was not expected thai the oc
i casion would be a time of hi'ivesting
(as much us of seed sowing. Howev
er, a goodly number of persons came
forward in the meetings as s-ekers.
As had been announced. special
I emphasis was placed upon the work
'(if the Holy Spirit in religion, both
in the conversion of sinners and ine
reet iving of the l'entecostal baptism
by believers.
The Hible reading.- so ably con
ducted by Dr. Whitcomb were in
reality a splendid school for the ini
partation of liitdical knowledge
along the lines most needed by those
(who attended. Their helpfulness
cannot be overestimated. I hey were
strongly endorsed by all who heard
t hem.
As an indication of the impres
sions made, was the next mid-week
prayer meeting of o:ie of the Alli
ance churches following the close of
the convention. The leader request
ed that those present tell some bene
fit they had derived froi'i tlie Hible
readings. As a result the meeting
re vived itself into a praise service
for the Holiness convention.
As an indication of the interde
nominational character of the meet
ing" and the spiiit of Christian fel
lowship that prevailed. I observed in
one of the sei vices when the leader
requested that several persons lead
in prayer, three did so, one a mem
ber of the Episcopal church, another
a Baptist and the other a Methodist
and it would have been impossible
for a stranger to distinguish their
church affiliations.

said the carnival is even bigger and

Captain C. F. McKiuley of Hi
general service infantry. United
States Army, supervising officer of
recruiting stations and officers for
this district, was in the city Tuesday
to inspect the thirteen recruits being
held here, awaiting approval.
The local recruiting station under
the supervision of Corporal Booth,
general service infantry, has been
making an exceptionally good show
lng since it was opened here, states
Captain McKiuley. The Alliance
station has secured more recruits
and sent more accepted recruits to
Fort Logan than stations in towns
larger than Alliance, such as Grand
Island and others.
Eight Are Accepted
Emht accepted recruits who en
listed at the Alliance recruiting sta
lion were sent to Fort Iyogan, near
Denver. Colo., Tuesday. Hie re
cruits were: Thomas Bradshaw
Earl I). Barnhart, Elmer Perkins,
John Slavin, Guy P. Montgomery, C
U'deanle. Nathaniel H. Lapp and
Walter D. Slamey. All of the ri
cruits with the exception of Elmer
Perkins were assigned to the infan
try. Perkins was assigned to the
cavalry. C. Redeaglo,, who enlisted
here. Is a full-blood Indian, and was
born In Oklahoma.
The recruits were sent to Fort Lo
gan where they will be trained ror a
month or more, arter which they will
be assiened to stated companies.
The opening or the station here in
Alliance was an experiment at the
start, but recruits were obtained In
such numbers that it was believed a
permanent station could bo main
tained here. Results have so tar ex
ceeded even the highest expectations
of Cantain McKiuley. Captain Mr-
Kinlev Is stationed at Omaha and

PLAN TO OPEN NEW

for Development
Secretary Franklin K. Lane of
the Department, of the Interior
Fulled Slates gavcriimciit , on Satur
day. February 10, addressed a Icier
to Senator Henry L. Myers, chairman
of I he Senate committee on publi
lands, relative to the desirability of
nroini.tlv enacting legislation innk
ing available certain resources of the
nation.
Secretary Lane in his letter slate
that in ii w of the general realiz.i
lion that it is now time to m;.kt
plans for national defense he would
suggest that the senator consult with
the chairman of the cominittct s on
Military and Naval Affair-, to see if
it is not practicable to have lai.ds
which are at present locked up. con
taining oil, phosphate and potash, re
leased under a leasing system. Just
what effect this might have on the
potash industry is not known. 1
might mean that potash conipait os
already doing business will expand
and tak advartaee of the opporlun
ity to lease more land or it mi' lit
mean that other companies will be
organi.ed U promote these lands.
In his letter to Senator Mytrs.
Secretary Lane says:
"We have some 6.000,000 acres or
possible oil lands so withdrawn that
no wells can lie bored upon them.
Only the lands now held in private
ownership are producing. We shorld
be about the business or discovering
what these withdrawn lands contain.
Gasoline is invaluable to the army
and to the navy, as well as to every
automobile owner and to the owner
or every other gasoline-driven en
gine in the country. The largest de
posit or potash in this country, which
is fundamental In the mntiiiff dure
of explosives, is also out or use be-
cone withdrawn, and we have sonn
:. oin, 000 acres of phphate deposit
in the same situation. The develop
ment of these resources can be made
rfective by the passage or a lenslur.
bill.
"As to the procuring of more ex
tensive oil resocrves ror the upc of
the navy, would It not be practica
ble to authorize this department, or
some other, to drill for oil upon
soee of those great reserved tracts
which have not been already proved.
The expenditure of a coniparattv ly
small amount of money might In
this way secure for the government
in insured oil supply, as well hs be
an elTectlve regulation against In
creasing prices."

This event occurred n few days aft
er that or lust sumiay n lesson, n
wiik Jesus' second miracle In Cann.
John the Ilnptlst Is still prenchltiK, and
Jesus Is closing- the first year of Ids
ministry ond beginning his work In
Galilee. Teachers should brlnjt a
vivid picture of Galilee to their
classes, ns that wns one of the 1m-
portiint fields to which our Muster de-
voted much of Ids time. (For descrip
tion see some good Ililde dlctlonnry.)
The people of that hind were more
worldly, less bound by conventional
ities, mid more accessible lo the teach
ings which Jesus brought than those
of Juileit. Josephiis snys they were
fmid of innovations, and disposed to
changes,
I. Supplication (Testing) vv. 4.1-40.
Testis left the revlvnl at Siimarln (vv.
"!M-D and returned to Galilee. Ills
nvii people of Nnsr.itrcth refused to ac
cept htm "for u prophet hath no honor
n his own country." It was In Galilee
li.it he bud his great victories. Here
tie viis welcome (v. -la) because they
e'd I nmvn the things that he did nf
lerusalem, the report of which win
ought back by those who hud visited
he feast (John 2:1-1-17). In Cnn.i
,('!i. 2:11) one came Li him who wn.i
Hi g's ofllerr, mm who wiim tiiad l.i
omi.iiind, nnd whose great purwivi
! I
toed overcame any prejudice (Matt.
:IS; Luke 7:L'). God uses Hinicllints
fltiines to drhe us to him. nnd t!"1
iot effective wny to Induce men t
come lo Jesus Is to bring them to
recognize their need which he nl i..
can supply. The bid was "at the point
if death." hence the father's Journey
if twenty miles from Capernaum to
Ciina, seeking help. We have herethe
vcnknos of fnlth Indicated In verse
forty-eight. In that the man would not
'iclleve except he should see slpis nnd
votiders. We have also fhe enrnest-ii-ss
of the niitn In verse !!
Sir. come down ere my child die."
Man's extremity Is ever God's oppor-
unity. Not only extreme cases of
lelcness can ho brought to hill), hit'
treme cases of sin its well (I Tim.
I:1!i; Ileb. 7:2."). He can heal nn.
tily those who are "nt the point of
!";ith" but those who nre nlrend.v
lend (F.ph. 2:1). The child was dy-
'!. the father hud not strength to
.-nit to see wonders, bill he could nnd
lid trust Jesus to heal Ids son.
II. Surrender (Trustlnn) vv. PO-.H.
'Yhen the soldier took Jesus nt hl-
ord. he surrendered 1:1s previous con
option, nnd accepted fhe word of God;
'Morally acting upon his belief, lie
ent his way because he believed, lie
lid not nsk Jesus iiirnln to go to f'npar-
iimi in. We tnusl not confuse this kind
of faith, however, with his having re
'epted Jesus as Savior. He accepted
testis only lis henler. We have men
'odtiy who will accept Jesus Christ In
lie perfection of his character nnd the
nitrify. of Ids teachings but who will
not accept him to be their personal
Savior. Such men want to receive the
iieneflts ot Christianity, fulling to rec
ognize Its spiritual power and author
ity. III. Satisfaction (Triumph) (vv. .r.2
"I). The father's faith rose to the
iced for "he believed the word that
Jesus spake." Thnl word did not seem
it fill prolmhlc, but It was enough. The
word of Jesus who Is, himself. th
ruth, Is a sure nnd more renoriiibl
.'round of faith than nny amount of
speculation. This father's walk from
Ciinii to Capernaum was a wnlk of
''lit It. He bud nothing but n lore prom
ise to support lilm. yet on hN return
he found his son living (v. f2). on
his word of Jesus he. hlltiM-lf, be
'teved. nnd his whole house. K sei-eis
1 Mpl'ohuhlc that this could be otherwise
'' he were nn honi-st man.
IV. Suggestions (1) The living, pi r-
nial presence of Christ Is not li -i d
'til. It was a w ive provision of God's
economy Unit Christ Srhould have n
turned to heaven.
(2) Acts are the true Indications of
mir fallh. God's written revelation
end the revelation of his son. the Liv
ing Word, and the witness of the ex
perience of God's saints nre sii!!ic i nt
facts upon which to buse faith.
(.1) Fnlth Is progressive. Notice the
growth front verses 4S to fill and .r.'!..
At first the man believed in Jesus'
power; then he bdclved In Jesus'
word, nnd believed In Jesus, himself;
then he reaches the highest point 111
that he does not believe alone, for bis
whole house believed with hliil.
(4) Fulfil is the source of all
Christian gifts and graces. We have
an advantage over these Galileans of
nearly nineteen centuries of what
Christ has wrought among the peoples
of the earth among those who have
believed on htm. He has been tried
mid proved, and the gifts of God's
grace, eternal ll'e. the gifts or the
Spirit are all conditioned uimui our
faith In til in and in the Lord Jesus.
Our salvation from sin, our effective
ness as disciples and followers depend
upon our faith In Jesus Christ us our
Surlor from sin, and as our Iord and
Master.

sets of Improvements on It, one set

Some time after the deal had been

the land back to Mrs. Boyd. How-
ever, after Investigation, It was dis-
covered that certain of the Improve

to the homestead. Mrs. Trlpplett'B

Action lo IU-plelii Ten Times
larger limn Ecjuity
At the laa regular bokhIoh of the
district court, following a directed
verdict by Judge Weidover, fhe Jury
brought in a verdict ror G. O. Gads
by In a suit in which the Haddorff
Music House bad filed an action to
replevin. The verdict as brought In
at that time was a queer one, It is
said. In view or the evidence intro
duced in the case, as t'ce verdict gave
the defendant $250 and Interest from
the plaintiff company.
It seems that the Haddorff Music
House had put a piano In a hall,
owned by Mr. Gadsby, for their own
use with the notes on the piano to
be paid out of the rent or the hall.
Under this arrangement Mr. Gads
by's equity in the piano amounted to
about $30. The jury returned a
verdict ror him to an amount almost
ten times his equity in the instru
ment. When Judge Westover was here
last week the Haddorft' Music House
through its attorney appeared in
court and asked for a new trial. At
the ii r r.t trial they were unable to
produce the contract between them
and Mr. Gadsby, bul It has been
found and is oii'ercd as evidence. It

produce the contract at the brut trial
