The woman folk generally sniff

BAPTIST cyiURCII.
Can you beat it! What? The fol
lowing, a basis for a story on the faith
fulness of a church and the determina
tion of a crowd of people to get a neat
in the building. You say, "Shoot";
well, here goes: A full house at 7
o'clock; a Are two doors away at :15;
about one-fourth of the audience ieave
the building to see the fire; immedi
ately their seats are taken U'., the
house is full again. The loyal pianist,
orchestra and choir kept their stations,
music and songs are furuish'Hl to en
tertain the people. The pastor's curio?
ity pets the best of him and he gees
to the fire, returns find.) all light out,
aisles crowded with people. 1'atriotic
songs are sung, three kerosene lumps
are secured, candles, and a gas lamp
later. People try to force their way in
the building. Fire rages for forty-Avo
minutes and all that time the building
is full to overflowing. Services Mart
45 minutes late, three men kept busy
filling the main and back ai.sle vith
chairs, the song service over bv dim
light, the lecture begins, and about
8:35 the electric lights are back on.
Crowds tiy to get in the building only
to find all aisles full and no standing
room left. lecture continues, amid i un,
humor and pathos, fire is exting lished,
invitation given, two more come for
ward for the Master, making five
adults for the day. This is followed by
a baptism service of nine others. At
10 oclock the crowd disperses, Mjr'ng
they have laughed more tho.-e ihrce
hours than any three hour in their
lives.
To what can we attribute thU .von
derful record? The loyalty -of the
pianist, the orchestra, and choir, not
one of whom left the building, the
knowledge upon the part of the people
in general that the messages delivers!
from the Baptist pulpit are worth i ll
the discomfort one may Ik? called upon
to suiter. lUal religion, honestly con
sidered, fearless attack of the e iU of
life regardless who is hit, all this in
terspersed with pood clear humor.
Come to the friendly church wit't the
friendly grip, on the Joy coiner, Sev
enth and Laramie.

Making a business of
high quality
that's The Famous
YOU know perfectly well that the
value of things you buy isn't in what
somebody says about them; the man who
bought the "gold brick" bought it on
what somebody said.
Quality isn't just a word; it's a fact; you
don't get it in clothes unless it's there.
Hart Schaffner & Marx make a business
of putting quality in clothes; materials,
making, smart style.
We make a business of selling that
kind of merchandise. We could sell
cheaper stuff at lower prices; stuff
that's priced lower because it's of
cheaper quality. We don't want to
sell it because our customers really
don't want it; no ((gold bricks" here.
