Grouchy Church
Officials Scored
By Gipsy Smith
Prorfil Christians Urged ly
Evangelist to Scatter
More Sunshine in
The World.
The confirmed grouch, the ihort-
tempered husband or wile and those
protesting to be Chriitiini but not
living the Christian life of happtneM
were urged to change their liauiti of
111 temper that they might scatter
more tunihtne in the world by Oipiy
inuth, evangelist, at the meeting at
the Auditorium Wednesday tii'dhl.
In spite of the stormy weather of
the afternoon and the evening just
preceding the meeting, more than
Xooo Demons were in attendance and
A hung upon every word the evange-
I 1st said. The music of the choir
i" airtiiiaal1t mnA lh
v ma iixuiiiaK j B mv av v-
lions directed by Mr. McEwan, choir
trailer, were most appropriate.
In hia discourse, the evangelist de
dared that the church was in need
of members of strength and beau
ty strength to live God way and
oeauty in spiritual cleanliness.
, Men of Strength Scarce.
"Men of strength are few and far
between, the speaker said. "Men
who are intimate with the Lord,
confident, strong, brave, dependable
and anchored, men who are four
square, and not easiTy led by every
changing wind or whim are deplor
ably few.
"God wants us to be that way,
strong with our feet on the Rock, and
that's the kind of Christian you must
be if your life is to count for any-
thing. Why is it we are so easily
carried away with a loud shouting
of some religious quae or new here
sy? It is because we are not suffi
ciently anchored to Jesus Christ.
Put on the strength that God has
supplied.
j "If church members were this way
every church in Q"iaha would be
a mighty power. Every time the
church spoke the city would stop
and listen. If our lives followed the
forces of Calvary the world would
listen to us. ,
"Why is the church "so weak in
public utterance and its public be
havior? Because it is not intimate
enough With God. He the people you
assume to be.
"God also wants us to be beautiful
in our religion. Not outwardly, but
inwardly. Throw off the shabby
garments of self-righteousness and
put on the garments of the King.
Some of us are so shabby we look
little better than tramps. We are
coarse, vulgar and unrefined in spirit
because we are not allowing the
grace of God to do its work. God
has His way in nature. He makes
j all the flowers and other natural
beauties; why doesn't He have His
way with us?"
Scorea Grouchy Folk. .
The grouchy church official was
especially condemned by 'the evan
gelist, borne of them, even in the
Sundayg schools, were : so grouchy
and short-tempered they were , diffi
cult to have about, he said.
And then, he said, there were some
husbands who hadn't spoken a kind
word to their wives - in months.
"Why don't you say something kind
vto her? She's .just pining for a
. gentle word," the evangelist pleaded.
"Do you know that in displaying
such tempers you are hindering the
spiritual progress of "your loved
ones? You will never help them to
Christ unless you change your ways.
Become ; less like yourselves ' and
more-like Christ wants you to be.'
The evangelist's sermon last night
w?s filled with stories of humor and
pathos which the audience took to
heart. ' ' .
The evangelist, was immensely
pleased with the attendance. "The
Lord's weather never interferes with
the Lord's work.. It's great to see
such a good crowd on such a bad
night," he said beamingly.
The big service next week will be
Thursday at 2:30 p. m. when the
evangelist will deliver a special mes
sage to all mothers of the city. It
is to be known as the Gipsy Smith
revival campaign Mothers' day.
Arrangements are being made to
bring every "shut-in" to the services.
Persons who know of any are re
quested to give their names to the
committee that transportation to the
meeting may be arranged for them.

only by casting
out the devils.
At we look
across the face of

and see the con

neath all that we don't see? What
about the inward rumblings that
only ears divine listen to? And the
seething unrest which the human
eye cannot detect?
But, ah, every honest, intelligent
man knows just a little about it if
he will look within his own heart.
And as I sit here this morning
and think ef these things, I cannct
help but alc who is sufficient to the
task, It there anybody that can
step in amidkt the dark confusion
and world misery and still its storm
and huth its tempests?
And my heart leaps up with a
great bound, saying, tt, Jesus,
who stood on the Galileean lake
and lifted His hand amidst the
tempest and said, Trace, be still,'
and the wind and waves obeyed and
crept away in silence to lick Hit
feet."
Not Munition Train.
If the world would but invite Him
to enter its life and its sorrows He
would come and point a way out
He would bring peace because He
would ttill the storm of tin. That's
the cause of all the confusion and
strife.
Wherever Jesut is listened to,
obeyed and enthroned men become
as brothers. What it true of indi
viduals, homes, hamlets and cities
is true also of nations and would
be true of the world, and it only
nerdt to be given a trial.
Peace doesn't follow the- muni
tion train: it follows in the wake of
the Prince of Peace. That't thr
way to brotherhood.

There Are No "Stingy Chris-
tians," Says Evangelist in
Noonday Sermon to
B
usiness
Folk.
"There are no 'stingy' Christians,"
Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, declared
at the noonday meeting for business
men and women at the Brandcis thea
ter yesterday.
"People may call them Christians
and they may call themselves Chris
tians, but unless they are living the
Christian life they have no right to
the title. The Christian life calls for
a life of service and giving unstint
ingly and unselfishly.
"You can't paint the pumo and
expect to purify the water; neither
can you white-wash the house and
expect to believe it is new, A man,
whether church member or not, is
just what he lives. There is no hon
esty in an outward appearance of
Christian spirit and an inward spirit
of selfishness. Spiritual character
comes only from God and must be
built upon His plans.
"When the heart is given to God
everything that one possesses is
given over to His service and for
those who are in need."
Rev. John Hawk, First Reformed
church, delivered the first 10-minute
sermon. 1
He said the great work .done by
the apostles was the result pf their
first giving themselves to God.
"The great things of the spiritual
life can't be paid for by cheap giv
ing of material things. The serv
ices and gifts must be accompanied
with an honest desire to be ot help
to God and man," he taid.
The theater was well filled with
business men and women.

Rail Rate Cuts
More Sweeping
Than Expected
Reduction Is 22 Per Cent on
Wheat a'nd 27 on Coarse
Grains. Exchange Man
Reports.
Details of the new freight rates on
grain at worked out by John A.
Kuhnt, traffic manager of the Oma
ha Grain exchange, indicate that last
Saturday's order of the interstate
commerce commission wat of even
more sweeping effect than appeared
in first reportt.
The reduction, Mr. Kuhnt figures,
amounti approximately to 22 per
cent on wheat and Zl per cent on
corn and other coarse grains. Ac
cording to grain dealert, thit should
be reflected in higher prices to the
farmert, because of lessening trans
oortation cost to final market.
Taking Grand Island as a typical
Nebraska shipping point: Mr. Kuhns
fieuret that the rate January I.
1921, would have made the following
charges on all grains, in cents per
100 pounds: Grand Island to Oma
ha, 22'A; Omaha to Chicago, 20J-S;
Chicago to "Baltimore for export,
3154; total, 74J4.
Reductions October 1 made the
schedule as follows: Grand Island
to Omaha, 22 1-2; Omaha to Chi
cago, 19 1-2; Chicago to Baltimore
for export, 21; total, 63.
Differential Provided.
The new rates, effective about No
vember 20, provide for a differential
between wheat and coarse grains.
Mr. Kuhns figures the rate on
wheat at follows: Grand Island to
Omaha, 19 1-2 cents; Omaha to
Chicago, 18 cents; Chicago to Balti
more, 21 cents; total, 58 1-2 cents.
On corn and coarse grains the rate
stands: Grand Island to Omaha,
17 1-2 cents: Omaha to Chicago,
16 cents; Chicago to Baltimore, 21
cents; total, 54 1-2 cents.
. Nebraska dealers can use the fol
lowing formula to arrive at new
rates to Omaha or Chicago: Wheat,
87 per cent of present rates; corn
and other coarse grains, 78 3-10 per
cent. Omit fractions of less than
1-4 cents; fractions of 1-4 cent or
greater, but less than 3-4 cents, to
count as 1-2 cent; fractions of 3-4
cent or greater to be counted as the
next whole cent.

"It is no longer a matter for dispute, but a plain fact that railroad rates "and railroad wages are
both abnormally high," avers the Nashville Banner. Railroad wages, the same paper continues, "are
abnormal with either pre-war wages or the present cost of living as a standard." "Freight rates must
come down if the country is to go ahead, and wages must come down to permit rate to come down,"
declares the Tacoma Ledger. President Harding, according to Washington correspondence in the New
York Evening Post, "is believed to hold that there shduld be both a reduction in freight rates and also a
reduction in railroad wages." To quote further: "The two constitute a cycle, and the only embarrass'
ment the President has had was which of the two should come first. It would seem to be likely that he
will take advantage of the present situation to bring about the two simultaneously." ; -
This idea of simultaneous reduction in rates and wages is also advanced by two Texas papers.
"The present rates of transportation are ruinous to productive industry and business; they must, be
substantially reduced, and a reduction of wages must come simultaneously," and in the Dallas Journal
we read "there is no good reason why the reductions should not be simultaneous, nor is there any good
reason why the removal of these humps in our economic structure should be postponed." . ?
To get an accurate reflex of the trend of public opinion upon the controversy between the railroad
operators and the employees, you should read the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this
week, October 29th, which presents all sides of the question.
In honor of General Foch's arrival within the next few days, the cover of THE DIGEST this week
