War at Closa Q Barters.
The raid of Zeppelins lat nl&ht is de
scribed by the Pall Mall Gazette as "Ton
doners' flrrt Blimps, of the war at close
quarters."
Ths Eventnr Standard speaks ef the
ooolness shown everywhere, but warns
the publlo against the "noticeably wide
spread and dangerous exposition to re
ard the affair as a species of spectacle."
It sunrests that In addition to the Zep
pelin, which within limits "Is a terrible
Instrument of war." there is also danger
from anti-aircraft runs. Therefore, the
publlo. It says, would be well advised to
take aerial visitors more seriously than
it did last night.
Ist night's official statement concern
Ins; the airship raid stated that the Zep
pelins "visited the eastern counties and
ths London district." English newspapers
are prohibited from publishing unofficial

Revivals as Told Of in the Bible
Billy Sunday's Afternoon Subject
"BIHy" Sunday took for his topic. "The
Revival at Pentecost" as told in the
Bible, this afternoon at the tabernacle.
It is one of his favorite topics because
it relates the wonderful story of 8,000
persons converted by one sermon.
"Billy" said, "Nowadays It takes about
9,000 sermons to convert on person."
And the cause for this he declared to
be the lack of spirituality in the church
and the lack of the "one accord" spirit
His sermon was as follows:
"The revival at Pentecost was not
a roan-goHen-up revival. The leader was
the Holy Spirit from start to finish.
There was no cut-and-dried schedule.
They looked to the Holy Spirit for guid
ance as to how the meeting was to
bs run. They were looking for two
great things first the Holy Ghost and
then power. You'll have better prayer
meetings if you go oexpectlng something.
Not culture and then power, not wealth
and then power, not power and the Holy
Qhost-lt's got to be first the Holy ohost
and then power.
"We are disciples today Just as cer
tainly as those men back in Judea, when
It comes to the work of carrying on the
gospel. One reason for the church's
failure today is that it does not realize
that it has the same God-given mission.
If the church Is not doing the work of
God, who Is? The saloons are not The
politicians are not The clubs are not
If the church is not doing God's work
today, who Is? Show met 111 lear
the church because I'm looking for God's
representative. If you. are not Bet out
of tha church. You and I have th same
command to keep the world in a state
of perpetual revival that the disciples
had. You'll find the church that Isn't
is dying of dry rot today, too, pure and
simple.
"Why did" they scatter in all direc
tion like shot from a gun! It shows
good sense in you when you try to find
out God's way of doing things. Ills
way is to plant in April and May, not In
October or November. You may not be
lieve in God, but there isn't any old
Infidel who can run even his own farm
without following the divine order. The
time you spent in getting an education
is not wasted. The time you spent eat
ing and sleeping and gathering energy
is not wasted. Let's have the same kind
ef horse sense in the church. They
waited ten days for Pentecost What the
church needs today Is a baptism of horse
sense.
Let God Come First.
"They made their business and domes

They had all-day meetings, not for an

"They came with ono accord in one
place. I don't care if it's tho finest
church any they don't come with one
accord, the Holy Ghost won't be there to
bless you. There are some members of
tho churches who haven't had him yet.
If Peterson had had to wait for certain
members of. the churches, the f.ld town
would have been in hell long ago. When
anybody prayed there, everybody else
said "Amen." There was nobody who
said: 'I wonder if he's going to pray all
night' There was nobody who said: 'If
I don't pray better than that I'd keep
quiet.'
"We're never had another Pentecost
because we've never had power. The
church has Increased in number, but not
In power. After 1,900 years why is it that
120 praying men had more power than
12,000,000 church members today? They
were all with one accord. That was it.
They haven't been that way lit the church
of God from that day to this.
"We need one accord more In our
church today than we do church steeples
and pipe organs. The average church
pays more attention to the kitchen than
to the Holy Spirit. Some people think
they can't run a church without oyster
soup. The more soup there is the faster
the church is going to the devil. I be

Need One Mind.
"You need mor of one mind in the
Church and less controversy. More one
mind and no denominational fuss, no
hair-splitting over opinions, no worrying
about that not coming due, no thinking
about what you're going to wear at the
next social blowout and wondering if
Mrs. So-and-So is going to slip one over

meeting on accord and that's why It
was a great meeting.
Everybody there knew Jesus. Some
knew Him after the flesh and some after
th spirit There Is no doubt that the
leper whom He healed was there. There
is no doubt but that the blind man He
healed was there. When I get to heaven
I'm going to hunt up that blind man of
John 9 and shake him by the hand, for
he's been an inspiration to m th way he
laid out those old Pharisees.
"The paralytic that they let down

Jesus was there. He Is tha best author-j
Ity there is In th Bible for doing things
out of th ordinary. They didn't get him
to Jesus In the conventional way. I don't
care whether they have a Prino Albert
or whether their collar's buttoned in the
back or not. Just so they get to Him.
And there' no doubt that th man with
tha withered hand was there, and Jalrus
and his daughter, th centurion and hi
daughter, th woman with th Issue of
blood, th man who laid by th pool, th
disciples. Mary, Martha and Lasarus, and
Mary Magdalene all earnestly praying.
Oh, yesl Everybody had an up-to-date
experience with Jesus. It didn't take five
minutes to get them on their feet and
pry their mouths open. They all wanted
to speak at once. The Ixrd knows
how many got up and how long they
knew Him, exsctly alike, but all loved
Him. All would have something to say.

"What you need to produce th revival

and the people getting right with God.
There Is too much playing ntde-and-seek

If the church of Jesus Christ' withdrew

You can organize, prepare, hire the best

LAS CIUTES. N. M.. Sept. P.
(Special Telegram.) Nine men have
been secured for the Connell murder
trial Jury after the regular venire
of tho district court was exhausted
and a special venire of 100 men
railed.
The first Juror selected was Guad
alupe Alvarei, a farmer of the
Mesilla Valley. The others, included
eight Spanish-Americans end one
American. Thtg is considered favor
able to the state, as Cornell had a
big following of Spanish-American
residents in New Mexico and the
state has fought consistently to get
law abiding Mexicans en the Jury, as
much of tha evidence against Porter
ia in Spanish and will lose its effect
upon being translated.
The state's case continues to be In
chasge of W. J. Connell of Omaha. At
torney General Frank W, Clancey of the
state, has not yet come to Ias Cruces,
but Is expected ss soon ss the work of
taking evidence is begun, ss he will take
a prominent part in the trial. The state
also hss District Attorney 11. B. Hamil
ton and Major W. H. II. Llewellyn of
Las Cruces, snd a major under House
veil of the Hough Riders.
The case is going to be the most bit
terly fought of any In the history of New
Mexico. I'orter has retained some of the
best lawyers In tho southwest and they
are fighting each point
Before th regular panel was called ths
defense moved to quash the Indictment
and dismiss th case, holding that three
grand Juries had refused to Indict show
ing that there was -no case. The motion
was overruled by Judge Colin Neblett,
the trial Judge, who ordered subpoenas
Issued for thirty-one witness and that the
Jury drawing be begun.
O. M. Tally, who was arrested at the
same time as Porter, but sgalnst whom
no Indictment was returned, has arrived
here from St. Louis to appear at the trial
as a witness for the defense and will bs

The maid and Tales told virtually the

Thst masked men had forced their way
Into the houae, overpowered them, tied
and gagged them, and then sttacked the
aged widow. The chid; difference In their
stories was that ths maid ssld that thers

Mrs. Nichols, In the opinion of the po

ail the strength her sixty years permitted.

examination of the body showed that she
had died of fright, and that, notwith

had not been strangled.

With Mrs. Nichols lying dead on ths
floor of her room, the hall boy apparently

from ths butt of a revolver and the maid
bound and gagged In the servants' quar

ises. Apparently their first set was to
strip ths diamonds from their victim's
ringers. The earrings slso were tsken.
The value of these gems was placed to
day at about llO.ooo by Mrs. Nichols'
nephew. Maitland F. Griggs.
Th key to th Nichols strong bos,
which she carried en a string around her
neck, was reported missing. The strong
box, in a safe In th house, contained. It
was estimated, gems worth from tXO.OOO

of the safe today showed that the strong
