THE FIFE COMPANY Comes the 27th—The Noted Evangelists to Begin Revival at CHRISTIAN CHURCH On That Night—Have Great Musical Attraction—lnterest Shown. 'Rev. J. M, Dawson, pa., or of the Christian church of this city, has just received word from the Fife Evangel istic company that they will arrive in Decatur on December 27th, to begin the revival at the Christian church on that night. Great interest has been taken in the coming of this noted company already and It is expected that one of the largest revivals of relig ion that has ever been conducted in j this city, will result. The Fife Brothers Evangelistic com I pany comes from Kansas City, where they have their headquarters and will present one of the most uni pie at tractions in the way of preaching and singing that is now at work in the evangelistic world. They have had signal success wherever they have gone and their work is marked by permanency. They reach all classes and bring large numbers to be interested and instructed m the teachings of the Bible and the work of the religious life generally. Because of the illness of their widowed sister, Mrs. A. K. Brooks, it was necessary for Evangelist Roger H. Fife to accept a pastorate, where he will go the first of January to make a home for his daughter and her two little boys, who found the exposure and hardship of constant travel so great that it was impossible for them to continue longer with the company. Evangelist Clyde Lee Fife, the head of the company, is a young man of fine presence, educated in Kansas City, a graduate of the Dillenbeck School of Oratory in that city, and also educated in the State University of Kansas, I where he won fame as a public speakler and debater. He has preached con- ' stantly for ten years and has been en- [ gaged in constant evangelism in various parts of the United States for the ! past five years. During this time, he has been instrumental in bringing thousands of people to accept the j Christ and lead the Christian life. He ’ has great power with men and reaches a large number of them in evi ery meeting. He is also a tenor in ■. the quartet and trio, is a soloist and i a violinist and orchestra leader. ' Mr. Robert S. Fife, the second mem- i i her of this unique company, has a, deep bass voice, sings the low bass on | the quartet and trio, and is an expert ■ slide trombone player, is superin-, tendent of personal work, is perhaps j tllte best informed man in this line in the evangelistic work today. His as-: sociatlon with young men is an example in daily living not to be forgot- J ten. He is also a graduate of the. Dillenbeck Sc’.iool of Oratory and Dra-j matic Art and is a front rank reader, and entertainer. Mr. Earl H. Fife, the third brother, and member of the quartet is a tenor, I His solo work is something extra in | | that ho has the rare ability to sing lan ordinary gospel song in away to ( make it a direct message to touch a ( sinful heart. He is a professional cornetist and trap drummer, has gained distinction as an athlete and has had great success in his work among men and boys. Tn this line he excels and ' has many naw ways of interesting I those who need a more manly life. He ! is also an expert personal worker. The fourth member of the company Is the sister of these three brothers, Miss Nellie Fife. Her brothers greatly depend upon her in their work tn which she is a prominent factor. She is a contralto In the quartet, a pianist and accompanist for all solo and orchestra work, and possesses the unusual qualitv of being able to follow a soloist closely, rather than to lead.

The Fife Company At Christian Church

’ Her work among women and the young ladies in the meeting is such as to win tor her many friends and greatly increase her usefulness. These three brothers and their sister will do the work of the entire Fife company in this revival effort and will quickly gather around them the choicest musical and religious talent of the whole city. Many people from Huntington and other cities over the r state where they have been and are to L go have announced their intentions to come to Decatur during their stay here for the sole purpose of attending t i their meeting. On the opening night, December 27th, it is expected that the entire i membership of the Christian church ' and as many others as can get into the building will be present to see the ’ e evangelists for the first time and to t hear them give their instructions to I I workers and outline the general plan ■ 1 of the revival. It is known that the | i evangelists are very courteous to all I i religious people differing from them I I in belief and that the meeting will be i- one in which the entire city will be ! II pleased to co-operate. All orchestra ;■ j players and singers of the city are esi pecially requested to be present on that night. Rev. J. N. Jessup, pastor First Chris-I s tian church, Little Rock, Arkansas, I I says of them: ‘‘The Fife brothers • have a home here for the summer and 1 furnished the music for our services. ? While they were here the people for--1 got that it was too hot and filled the ? church at every service. Their quar- - tet singing is their specialty. Their i orchestra music is of the best. They I are all high grade men and arc bound > ito succeed wherever they go.” > I Rev. Elmer Ward Cole, pastor Cen tral Christian church, Huntington, In - diana, says: “The Fife Brothers have s just been with the Huntington church in a meeting and to say that they cap- , tured us heart and soul puts it mildly. • They are a clean bunch of young men i with characters above reproach. Not a single bad habit mars their influ- , ence. They have been a continual inspiration to our young people, especially to our boys. Clyde Lee Fife is a preacher with much ability and a i clear, strong voice and always has something to say worth while. Robert and Earl are fine personal workers. Their trio and quartet work is of high class. Miss Nellie Fife, their accompaniest, is of superior worth and is also a fine personal worker. They all work and work hard. No lazy blood flows through their veins. They will bless any church to which they go.” It is known that the stay of this noted company is limited here because of the large number of engagements for revival work that they have booked ahead for 1912 and the earnest co-operation of every one is earnestly solicited from the very first in order that the work may be car- ' ried to completion as quickly as pos--1 sible. j * *** ** * ; l ; *** * * THE VANISHING CITIES. * — * * Suppose an Indiana town of 5,000 * | * people were destroyed each * I * year by an earthquake or fire! v I * Would you, if it were in your pow- * j - * er, help prevent this annual * j I* slaughter?

Can Dery WltoroßeS. A doctor in Yokohama, Japan, has built himself a novel house with a view to guarding against mlerobes. the walls of this remarkable edifloe are made of blocks of glass. They are hollow, the interstices being flilea up with a solution of salts of soda, which is Intended to regulate the temperature of the Interior. The windows are hermetically closed, and air Is only admitted after passlag through filters, Devslop Individuality. Care should be taken in the large family that each child develops an Individuality, says the London Sketch, Sometimes, •specially in the case of girls, it is a good idee to sand children to different schools. This seems an extreme measure, but is worth the consideration of ths ptrente who find that their brood are dropping into slovenly habits of speech, into codes and rules of their own, and a general contempt and disregard of the rest of the world. They Eat Much Meat. The people of the south are large meat consumers, but small meat producers. Statistics show that southerners consume more meat per capita than any other section of the country. And no section of the country can compete with North Carolina ‘ "under forced draught” in raising | meat, especially pork.—Frank P. j Fogg In National Magazine, Youth and Age. “Things are never just right in this world,” complained old SI Chestnut to the Sedgwick Pantagraph. “When 1 was a young man I never could buy a buggy with a seat that was narrow enough. Now that I am an old marl bled man I can’t find a buggy with a seat that Is wide enough to suit me.” Still the Open Kettle. One very seldom sees a washing machine in use in the south, says Frank P. Fogg in the National Magazine. The old-fashioned way of washing In the open air at the side of a brook or at the well and boiling the clothes in an iron kettle over a smoking open fire is still in vogue. Advice to Business Women. Neither the swelled head nor the despairing heart is of much use to the woman in business. Make good things—as good as or better than other people's—ask a fair price, so that there is a clear profit on materials and time used, and do not lose courage. The Useful Toad. English and French gardeners are always in the market for live toads, and not unfrequently as much as $25 per hundred is paid for this Insect detroyer. It is estimated that every time a boy kills a toad he Is destroying SIOO worth of stock on a farm. Companions In Affliction. “I’m sorry, Mr. Wilson, to see this splendid field of potatoes so seriously diseased,” said a sympathizing inspector. “Ah! well, it’s a great pity,” replied the farmer, “but there’s a great comfort—Jack Tomson’s is not a bit better!” Vanity’s Excuse. The peacock spread his gorgeous tail and strutted around, proud of his magnificence. “Still,” he squawked, “I’m only doing this for the credit of the family; my wife ought to wear the bustle, you know, but she doesn’t.” Sweet Thing's Inference. The poetic youth had tarried long, and conversation was waning. “I am never lonely,” he observed. “My mind to me is a kingdom.” “A limited montrehy?” she Inquired sweetly. Child Slavery. A boy graduated from a Pennsylvania high school without ever having missed a half day, and shall such horrors of child slavery be unrebuked? Detroit Journal. Money as an Edible. Benham —“A Harvard professor says that the average man eats one fourth of his salary.” Mrs. Benham —“All the more reason why bank bills should be new and clean." Cod Fisheries Remunerative. The catch of cod in the United States is third in value of fish caught, amounting to almost $3,000,000, followed by that of shad, lobster and clams. New York’s Quick Lpnch Places. There are more than 3,000 quick lunch stores in Manhattan, and every day more than 300,000 people run a Marathon with their digestive organs. Best Needle Case. Needles are small and easily lost, out just secure a small bottle to keep them in and you will not be bothered that way any more. Surely Sanguine.
