Schug, Clerk. o SAWDUST NOTES. A very interesting contest has arisen between the two Bible classes organized by Mr. and Mrs. Clase, and the result will undoubtedly prove as beneficial as it will interesting. Each meeting of either class means more members and it has gotten to the point where the girls are trying to beat the boys and the boys are tryin to outdo the girls. Tuesday at 3:30 both classes havj, meetings and the attendance will he closely watched hy the earnest workers on both sides. Mr. Honeywell says in every place where they have worked the boys came out ahead of the girls, but in Decatur he has taken the girls’ side, for he is sure they will win and he prefers to be on the winning side. There has been such an unlimited amount of comment concerning the unusual happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Clase that an investigation was necessary. It was plainly apparent that something of very great importance was going to happen, and the investigation revealed the fact that the fathers of the happy couple are to arrive Friday from Ashley, Ohio, to spend tlie week-end. Now, when you are in the presence of the couple and notice a broadening smile that is likely to spread from ear to ear. just remember that it might be the results of the thought of the big time in store for them Friday.

BOYS GET 100 BUSHELS EACH. "Another project considered by some to be the mest important of al was the boys’ corn contest. In this work the county agent and superintendent of schools worked together and also the teachers of agriculture in the high schools. The total enrollment was 265. Nijje boys had field yield of over 80 bushels. No one who has followed the contest can doubt that this will raise the corn yield of the county. Even an increase of two bushels to the acre will mean an increase of 400,000 bushels for the county. Besides this direct benefit, 365 boys have learned to take a new interest in corn growing and at the same time have developed an interest in better farming in general. "The best indication of a healthy agricultural growth in Jackson County is that very few of our farmers are leaving the farm to go to the cities.”— H. R. Leonard. Agent, Jackson County Minn. n — NOTICE Will the person who so kindly, so gently and Oh so lovingly who borrowed my only pair of rubber boots from out of my buggy near the Murray hotel on Friday evening, last while I was attending the Honeywell tabernacle meeting, please return tire boot, to the same buggy and near the sa' i< place some other evening after they are through with them and I’ll be very much obliged to you.

MEN FILLED TABERNACLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) street corners spreading filthy talk. If you want to be a man, commence tills afternoon with a clean tongue. "Profanity Is the greatest curse of tlie earth. These days did men old women, young men, young women, boys, girls, and little babies 4iwear. There is no sin as senseless as profanity. You people with your rightangular, and blasting breaths of swearing show you are not gentlemen. “A man swears because he is coarse in his makeup and is not a genlteman. If some big coarse fellow should spit on the sidewalk on pupose to make Mrs. Honeywell swipe it up witli her skirt. I would be enough of a Methodist to backslide five minutes while I knocked the block off that fellow. I handled my dukes before 1 was converted and today I can give as nice an exhibition of niuscn lar Christianity as you ever saw. 1 can go six rounds so fast you can't see me for dust. Tobacco Stunts Mind. "No student in the larger colleges of the East has ever used tobacco and has been at his best mentally, physi cally and morally. No tobacco user ever has won the Highest honors in these colleges for scholorships. The; fact ought to hold you for a while. One pound of tobacco contains enough nicotine to kill 300 men if it were taken in the right way. “Thousands of young men are <n the insane asylum today because they smoked cigarettes. Forty-one bia banks in Chicago refuse to employ men who use cigarettes. As for me I would not place a dollar in a bank where the cashier or some of the clerks who handle the money smoked cigarettes. "Licentiousness is damming the world today more than is the saloon If there is an evil wretch in the world today it is the man who will not b< true to his marriage vows. Your wife, your sister, your mother, yom daughter, is no worse than you if sh> commits the same sin as you. “I don't ask you to give me a dol lar for my work in Decatur, but 1 do ask you to give me a chance »o save and help her young men and daughters.” Sunday Morning.

Hundreds of men, women and cliil dren left the various Sunday schools and thronged to the tabernacle foi the morning services at 10. The sons j service was somewhat longer than us | ual, special work, a duet by Mr. and i Mrs. Clase, and a violin solo by Rev. > Glass taking up the time. The open | ing prayer was offered by Rev. Bor ton, of the Christian church, aftei , which Rev. McCombe announced that | all the services for the week would have special music and would prove ( interesting to all. Mr. Honeywell tool | for his text, the eighth verse of the i first chapter of Acts, the subject , “Holy Spirit.” The morning sermon i was a message to everyone, with nc exceptions, and should have been oi great interest to the church member! present. Every word in Mr. Honey well's sermons is a sermon in itself , and when we put them together makesa complete volume of truth and good , meaning. One important subject be touched cn was the fact that most oi our churches are overridden with organizations. “In fact,” he said, the} are organized to death.” Rev. Hanna, of the Presbyterian church, closed the meeting with a word of prayer. Woman's Greatest Memorial. A half hour before Mrs. McCombe’s service for women opened at 2:30 o’clock at the Presbyterian church yesterday, there was not even standing room, and many returned home because they could not get in. Mrs. Me Combe will speak next Sunday after noon on “A Woman's Answer to a Man’s Question.” and this meeting will be n the Methodist church which is larger. Mrs. Clase led Sunday afternoon's song service in an inspiring way. “1 Love to Tell the Story” was :be first song, and in this Mrs. Clase had the mothers sing one verse and the grandmothers another. Mrs. Rilling gave the opening prayer and then several songs, including “The Touch of His Hand cn Mine," “How You Love Him When You Know Him;” and others were given. Miss Kathryn Egly of Berne and Mrs. E. D. Engeler sang a beautiful duet, “O Where is That Land?” “Woman’s Greatest Memorial” was the subject of Mrs. McCombe’s fine address. She told the story oi Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus. While Jesus sat at dinner in the home of Simon, the former leper, Mary, the poetical and dreary, whose heart was full of love for toe Christ who had raised her brother from the dead and done so much for the others she loved, hastened to her home, took her one treasure, an alabaster vase of precious ointment, and returning poured it on the Savior n head. While others rebuked her for her impetuosity and extravagance, the Lord in recognition of her loving deed, commended her for it, saying: "She hath done what she could.” There are very few memorials to wo-

men In this lend, hut the greatest ow are Christ’s words which follow the little deed of love for him done by this woman, when he continues further: "She Is come uforeliand to annoint my body to the burying. Wher'soever this gospel shall be preaihed throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." J-rom Mary. Mrs. McCombe drew many beautiful lessons worthy of emulation by the women of the present day. No service is too little lor recognition by the Lord. Not only is it well to feel love for others, but the expression of it Is appreciated by lonely souls; and "swift kindnesses” are well. Durinf the after-service, >f music and prayer, the invitation was given and twenty-four women went forward to renew their Christian vows or accept Christ as their Savior for the first time.

Sunday Evening. One of the very best meetings of tlie two weeks which have elapsed since the Honeywell campaign was that of last evening, when the big union church building was pasked with thou thousand people. The choir program was interesting as usual and to the regular program was added a treat, a solo by Miss Kathryn Egly of Berne, assisted by the choir. "From Every Stormy Wind." The double quartet of men also sang two songs and again proved favorites. Mr. Honeywell announced that the W. C. T. U. will meet at the library Wednesday evening at 6:45, all members urged to be present. He explained the reserved seat cards for business men and women and announced the cards could be secured of W. A. Low er at the People’s Trust company. Be fore beginning his sermon, Rev. Hon eywell made, a short talk in which ne laid you will never find it easier to make your stand so rthe Savior than right now. His sermon follows in part: Text: "Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out,"—Num. XXXII-23. Daniel Webster being asked what was the most fearful and appalling thought that ever occurred to him in all his life, instantly replied: The thought of my private, personal and individual responsibility to God." Well might that great statesman tremble when he remembered that he must appear alone before that tribunal whose judge is so exact that lie counts the hairs on our heads, and so minute n His judgment that our fleeting ini iginations enter into the account. Were it posible we would nationalize our responsibilities. There is a feeling of security in numbers. We 'eel safer when in calling distance of some one. Men become strangely brave and strong when associated to ’ether. Monmouth weakened, only when bereft of his battalions. There is only one Winkelried among a hundred million of men. There is a vast difference between the heroism of combined protestanism and the heroism o! the lion-like Luther, doing battle single handed with the greatest dragon the world has ever produced. Terrifying Thought.

The thought of standing alone at the judgment terrifies us. If we could be judged by communities, or states, or nations, if a general average would do. If we could be lumped in. so to speak; we would not dread it so much' but to be taken singly and alone, our hearts fill with awful apprehensions ind with nameless terrors. We can think, in a general way, of a uture judgment, with unconcern. We can think of other people being araigned without any fear of heart. But when a voice out of heaven speaks our individual name and says: “This night thy soul shall be required of thee,” the whole scene changes and we cover ourselves with the sack cloth and ashes. Escape Impossible. Escape from sin is absolutely impossible. Thousands multiplied thousands fail here. They get into trouble, and Imagine they can settle it by going away, by becoming identified with some other church, community, or country. Foolishness. Take the wings of the morning and fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, and there will be sure to appear somebody to say: “How did you get out of the difficulty back in your home town? How did you settle that scrape you were in when I knew you before? Escape from your sin is impossible. At the close of the Civil War, a young soldier committed murder near Keokuk, lowa. He fled the country and no trace of him could be found. Dilligent search was made for him for years but all In vain. At last it was abandoned as hopeless. He had gone to the southern part of Missouri and lived there under an asumed name. He married a fine young lady. They reared a beautiful family. They were respected by all that knew them. He was an honorable citizen and a faithful member of the church. Thirty-seven years after that crime was committed he made application for a pension. It became necessary for him to tell hiss company and also his name under which he was enlisted. The publication of It

God does visit the iniquities of I fathers upon the children. 0,1 ’ ’ complain about it as much as you U - - but it is an unquestionable tact, an wlqe man does not think so much o what he would like to have true awhat is realiy true. There is no question that our sins find us out in children. Let a man be a drink » man. for example. He may not > • very hard drinker, but there is almost sure to be a curse upon his children. It is more than likely that some one of his sons will be a drunkard. I remember a man who was a consent, but moderate, drinker. He had three sons. I don’t think that man was ever drunk in his life. Indeed, he despisea drunkard. But he laughed at total abstainers. Each of his three sons became drunkards. The memory of ids sin caused Herod to turn ashen pale as he dreamt abou’ the murdered John the Baptist risen from the dead. The memory of his sin caused Belsnaziar to tremble as he watched the armless hand trace out his doom upon the wall. Hounded Judas. The memory of his son haunted the traitor Judas to his death. And memory of your sin will some day till your soul with a terror as terrible as hell itself and hound you to your doom. Twenty-eight years ago a young woman in a little Ohio town was strangled to death with a rope twisted out of a strip of calico torn from her dress. A young man was arrested for the crime. He was tried and all the circumstances evidently pointed so strongly to him tliat he was found guilty and condemned to be hung. He stoutly proclaimed his innocence. On the scaffold he declared, with his dying breath that he did not do the deew. But he paid the penalty of tliat crime. Only three or four months ago, a man over 50 years of age employed as a farm hand in North Dakota, went down to the banks of a little stream, and committed suicide by hanging himself from the limb of a tree. When his body was taken down, they found pinned to the lapel of his old faded coat a note. Opening it they read tlie startling confession that it was he, who 28 years before had committed that crime by strangling the girl in Ohio to death. And in his inside pocket they found a faded piece

of the girl’s calico dress. The law dM not find him out. Another mall was forced to pay the penalty of hls crime. But for 28 years his ,onscience was hard on his track. Up and down this land like a hounded jeer vainly trying to flee from n guilty conscience Hut it hounded him to his death. Though you take the wings of the morning and dwell in uttermost parts of the earth, you will find your conscience and your record there. Vain vain effort ,0 f,ee from it ’ It Will Not Drown. You try to drown it in pleasure, but It will not drown. You try to forget it in business but memory won’t let you forget. Vainly you flee to the intoxicating bowl, dreaming that there vou can drown the memory of your sin. but it ever haunts you shaking its bony finger in your face and reminding you of your coming doom. Oi>, men, for God’s sake, remember that when you sin you will some day suffer for it. "Be sure your sin will find you out." Oh. God. what can wash away our sins? Nothing but tlie blood of Jesus, Oh God help us to seek the cleansing of that blood tonight. At the close of the sermon. Rev. Honeywell asked the audience to stand and offered an invitation to all who wish to .decide for Christ. During a song service which continu 4 for an hour. 124 went forward, and signed decision cards.
