Great Program
of Miisic at the
Revival Service
Eev. Nelson Gardner Family and Miss
Ruth Laird, all of Bethany,
Delight great Audience.
From Saturday's Dally
The Rev. Nelson Gardner family
consisting of Re. and Mrs. Gardner
' and sons. Rev. i'Yanfc Gardner and
jGIen Gardner and Miss liuth Laird of
i Uetliany. Nebraski, appeared before:
an audience which iille.1 the Christian
church of this city last evening. To
say that they brought threat pleasure,
to the large audienco asembled is
i utting it mildlv. In a program
which included us an opening num-

ntr a accompaniest in two numbers
proved herself sxcailenr Mr. Frank
Gardner, a younj minister of the
Christian church of only eighteen
eurs of age in a solo nun.ber ' The
Holj City" revealol limself to be in
recession of a spliiilid tenor voice.
His l-rother, Mr. Glen Gardner of still
fewer years was equally pleasing as
he cang in various combinations dur
ing the evening. I.Irs. Gardner iu an
offertory number i,n the piano and as
an accompaniest r-'vealcc" real abil-
I ity as also did Misd Laird. Rev. Nel
son Gardner, the evangelist of the
series of meetings took part in duets
an.' trios with ais two sons which
'brought forth to view an ability
which had not before been fully
appreciated by his audiences here.
In various combinations during the
evening in a program of considerable
length these people were unusually
pleasing in their musical offerings.
Their last number of the program was
in the form of a quintet in which
a!l members of the company sang to
gether the "Awakening Chorus" to
which Mrs. Clare Upp of the local
church played the accompaniment.
Thus was offered in our city a pro
gram of worthwhile music by these
talented people which will long be
remembered by those who heard
them.
The evangelist followed this musi
cal setting with an evangelistic mes
sage of great appeal. Taking as his
subject "Christ at the door." he
stressed the fact that Christ stands
knocking at the door of all human
life for admittance. Every man holds
the key to the door of his own heart
and life said the evangelist. He can
decide to open wide the door and let
the King ci Glory come in and per
mit of himself being blessed with
life more abundant, or in contrast
to this attitude he can bolt the door
of his life against Jesus Christ and
refuse Him admittance to his soul.
He can beggar himself olj life's great
est values and remain a pauper in
spiritual tilings if he so wills, as
Christ never enters a life as an un
welcome guest. Christ does not bat
ter down the 'door to any man's life
but stands knocking at the door of
his intellect and wisdom In the hopes
of being Joyfully admitted to the
guest chamber of man's heart and
life. There at the door Christ stands
knocking if not before admitted until
in despair he turns away as death
comes as a tyrant and breaks down
the door of life and causes its oc
cupant to flee into the land of eter
nal death and night without Christ
and without hope. At the close of his
great appeal, at the word of invita
tion three came forward to make con
fession of faith and righteous pur
pose. This makes thirty-one in all
which have come forward during the
9eries of services.
There will be no services tonight
but tomorrow the meetings will con
tinue and on through the week.
Tomorrow evening in addition to
the regular services of evangelistic
effort the Plattsmouth Mixed Quar
tet composed of Mrs. Hal Garnett,
Mrs. Minnie Pickard. Mr. B. A. Mc
Elwain and Mr. Frank A. Cloidt offer
special musical numbers.

Fight on the
Volstead Law
Up This Term
G. 0. P. Leader in House will Launch
Attack to Obtain Complete Re
peal of the Measure.
Washington. Dec. 5. The conflict
that has enveloped prohibition en
forcement ever since its inception,
and has gained new momentum in
the last few days, Friday night was
headed toward its original battle
ground the floors of congress.
With the opening of congress only
a few days away, both wets and dries
are forming their lines for attack
and defense. Recent developments
indicate that, while some breaches
exist in the ranks of the prohibition
ists, the wets atre counting on strong
support.
Among various proposals to be pre
sented to congress, outright repeal of
the Volstead act will be sought by
Representative Dyer. Missouri, rank
ing republican of the house judiciary
committee, and one of the wet lead
ers, who heretofore had contended
merely for modification of the law.
The prohibition problem which
was taken to the White House Thurs
day, was carried across seas Friday,
with a direct appeal to Pope Pius XI
for moral support of '"civil author
ity" in the country. It was made
by the United Committee for Prohi
bition Enforcement. including a
number of Catholic and Protestant
reform organizations, which deliver
ed the complaint Thursday to Presi
dent Coolidge. 1
The criticisms of the administra
tion contained In that communica
tion brought reverberations within
the committee Friday. The Methodist
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals advised the presi
dent that it was in no way respons
ible for the committee's statement
and that it still was confident that
enforcement eventually would reach
perfection. Mr. Coolidge was advised
also by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, newly
elected president of the Women's
Christian Temperance union, that
her organization stood with the pres
ident in his enforcement stand.
The breaches in the ranks of the
United committee were opened even
more uennueiy wiui ine resignations
or several memoers w no uisaiini eu
of the committee's complaint to Mr
Coolidge, including the Hev. Dr. Clar
ence True Wilson, ot me Aieinouist
board; Oliver W. Stewart, of Indian
apolis, president of the flying squad
ron foundation, and Edwin C. Din
widdle of the International Order of
Good Templars.

Plattsmouth People Must Believe
Such Convincing: Testimony
as Mrs. Rauea's.
No one in Plattsmouth who suffers
backache, headaches, dizziness, rheu
matic pains or distressing urinary ills
can anord to ignore tins twice-iom t
story of a Plattsmouth resident. It
. . ... . i i l
is confirmed testimony, telling of last-,
ing benefit from Doan's Pills a stim-j
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. Its;
evidence that no man or woman in '
Plattsmouth can doubt.
Mrs. F. N. Rauen. 1110 Pearl St., I
Plattsmouth. says: "I was in bad
shape with my back. It was so pain
ful I could hardly turn over in Den.
There was a soreness across my back
and groins. I had dizzy spells, too.
and specks floated before ray eyes.
I got Doan's Pills at Weyrich & Had
raba's drug store and they relieved
me." (Statement given May 12th,
1920.) 1
On November 10, 1924. Mrs. Kauen
said: "Doan's Pills cured mo ot my
suffering and the cure has remained
permanent." '
Mrs. Rauen is only one ot many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you. don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Rauen
had the remedy backed by home
testimony. . 60 cents at all dealers.
