REVIVAL DOING
NICELY AT CHRIS
TIAN CHURCH
"Are you pitching your tents to
v.ard Sodom?" was the pertinent ques
tion which Rev. PerLee propounded to
the congregation last evening at the
hristian church, who had gathered
to enjoy the evening's service. After
a reason of soul stirring song, Rev
erl.ee took up his theme, giving a
tetailed statement of the history of
Abraham and his nephew Lot, from
he time when they lived near Ur of
he Chaldees until they returned from
"gypt and were making their home
1 Canaan. Here the land was not
npablo of feeding and watering their
.rent heards for they had both grown
ich and had cattle on their thousand
'-.ills. When their herdsmen quarreled
bout the watering place Abraham
-aid to Lot, "Take your choice of ter
.itorv. and I will go the other way,'
Lot looked over the lower valley of
he Jordan and seeing it well watered
, nd filled with grass he chose that and
pitched his tents over toward Sodom
Now Sodom was an exceedingly
.vicked city and while no mortal at-
Mosphere was unwholesome it offered
,-ood pastures to the herds and last
..ke many another rraii was after the
almighty dollar and sixteen and two
thirds et-nts. He did well financially,
re prospered, but there come a day
.vbt n the pitching of the tents toward
.-'odom brought disaster as he had got
ten nearer and was sitting as a judge
it the mite when apprised that the
IrJ would destroy the city for its
wickedness, and for he and his family
!o set out and away and not to look
r suRic great calimity would befall
;hem. Now the family of Lot had
,:ruvn ar.d had interests in Sodom.
The chiub-en had married, had fami
lies there. Lt when he received the
revelation went even in the middle of
the- niyht to tell the' children to come
with him and .save their lives. A por
'ion f his telatives gladly went with
him while the remainder lauehed him
t- MMrn. While fleeing loot's wife
forrot the injunction and looked back
: iil was turned to a pillar of salt.
In fact all the country was a salt
ei. Ti e remainder of the family
; -;ed. her children were perching
tht'if. Her associations were there
in wi-kid Sodom. No wonder she
liirl.iii iack toward Sodom. Supremacy

fii'.t: and passion.-:. The church is
lie same when try church shall have
f.-.'-uotrt n God. T! ey must suffer as
.eil as individuals. (Jul will keep the
church clean if you will only give Him
: n opportunity. There is work for
oj to do. Will you do it? If not
here- is one way of killing a church,
nd the;e is only one effectual way
church. There
only
one
;r-up of people that can do it. That
is pot the enemies of the church, for
vi- reiul in the flood Hook, that "The
iates of Hell shall not prevail against
.t." The quickest and surest way to
- the doors of the church is for
;he members to go to sleep on the
j-b. One man can not make a church,
: or bold a revival. It takes the
. nited effort of every member every
nay and every night to carry on the
work of God's Kingdom. Revival

ran church, but 'the membership is
-onspicuous Tor its absence, if you

ie'igious canvass of the city, over five
..undred people signed cards indicat
ig that they were either members
f this church or favored this organi
. at ion. If you are one of the five
hui.dred, line up, and help support
'.he church of your choice by your
presence and prayers. If you are a
professing Christian, and believe in
lie need of u personal salvation for
veiy soul, and want to see men won
: jr the higher things of life, line up
.ind help us in this meeting. We are
preaching any man's ideas, we are
;.ot preaching our own notions of
life. We are simply preaching God's
Word with all the power and pressure
vuman strength can muster. Where
ne Bible speaks, we speak, where the
I!ible is silent, we are silent. Attend
ance so far has been very good, and
the outlook is encouraging for a great
r meeting, unless the members of the
hurch kill the cause of this and other
churches who need to know what it
means to preach the Gospel. We
think it wouldn't hurt some of them
to hit the trail, and show the world
v.-here they really stand.
Subject for tonight, "The Black
Valley Railroad, or the Gospel train."
Service begins promptly at 7:30.

Painting Smith Factory.
From Tuesflays Dally.

are engaged today in painting the
front of the M. E. Smith shirt factory
on lower Main street, and this ad
ding very much to the appearance of
the business section of the city. The

painted and this makes the block a
very nice appearing one.
TAKING ON AN AS
PECT OF THE GREAT
From WednesdaVs Dally.
The stores throughout the city
have began to take on the aspect of
the holiday season and already a
number of them have their lines of
articles for Christmas arranged in
a manner that will please the eye of
shoppers, either man or woman. The
lines of toys and novel ities for the
younger folks have already been
placed on display in a number of the
stores and the more substantial gifts
seem to be getting a place where they
cannot fail but to attract the eagei
eye of the shopper. The prices on
most of the holiday goods seems to be
about the same as last year although
of course occasionally articles that
have been imported from Europe
shows a slight advance due to the
difficulty of secjring them ar.d the
shortage of the old country in skilled
labor due to the great war but as a
general thing there is plenty of toys
for the children regardless of the
fact that the toy houses of the old
world are on the blink as a result
of the war.

concourse of sorrowing fiiends and
relatives, who, bowed with grief at the
loss of a loving friend and a kind
mother, paid the last tribute of esteem
to her memory. The services were
conducted by Kev. C. E. PerLce,
pastor of the church, who spoke of
the lifelong devotion of the departed
lady to her chinch and her kindly
Christian life, which had been an in
spiration to her telatives and friends.
During the service a choir gave a
number of the old well loved hymns
which the deceased lady had held dear
in her lift; anil whose sweet and sym
pathetic strains had often served to
comfort her in the trials of this life.
The floral remembrances were numer
ous and silently attested the deep
affection in which the lady had been
held in the community where for the
past forty-five years she had been
such a splendid figure. At the close
of the .services at the church all that
was mortal of this grand, good wom
an was tenderly borne to Oak Hill
ecmetery, where, in the family burial
lot, it was laid to rest to await the
final call. The pall-bearers were se

THE MEETING AT THE
CHRISTIAN GHUROH
TUESDAY EVENSH8
From Vfiln?Jiiv' l.il!r.
At the Christian church last night
there w.'.s a very large attendance
ar.d lha congregation was arForded a
line scnr.cn ly Rev. C. K. PerLce o:i
tlie subjert of "A Tale of Two
Cities." Toe speaker used Jerusalem
as ia the days of old and especially
at the time of the coming of Christ,
while the city wa one of the most
populous, a-; well as prominent, both,
commercially and religiously. It was
also one of the most corrupt cities of
that day and its counterpart can be
found in many of toe cities of today,
fdlcd with graft in its civil adminis
tration, vice in its every part, non
icligion marked on its every feature;
its church service in manv cases a
hollow mocker'.
while in some in-
stances theie are true and devoted
Chi istians. as at the time when
Chr ist came to bring that message to a
lost world. Jerusalem did not receive
the Master or His mesage, while the
Jc-wi.-h church was probably as religi
ous as at any time in its history. It
was filled with graft from one end to
the other. The very house of God.
the temple, was used m a house of
merchandise, as the Masttr said when
he overturned the tabies of the money
changers and drove out those which
sold doves. He also said, "My Fath
er's house is a house of prayer and you
have made it a den of thieves." This
city which claimed a corner on relig
ion was u.-ing their position for their
own selfish ends and allowing the
Lord's work to go undone.
It was this condition which Christ
met when He came and which was re
sponsible for his crucifixion, and
which made it so ban! for the estab
lishment of the church after his cruci
fixion. The type of cities are still
kicking the Master daily and until
His message has been heard and heed
ed by the entire world. Then will
come that New Jerusalem, coming
down out of heaven, adoined as a bride
for her husband.
The male quartet furnished a num
ber of pleasing selections during the
evening services.
The subject for this evening will be,
"Are You rushing Your Tents To
ward Sodom." This will be an ar
raignment of many present day
modes of living and it is a sermon
all should hear, church members &s
well as those who do not hold mem
bership. Service begins promptly at
7:30.
