Start attending Mondny evening. A meeting will he hcM each month. It just seems like Decatur is not to win in a tournament. The boys lost I last night after putting up a splendid battle. They didn't seem able to make any play work just right or to break through the Kirkland guard. At that, they are a lot of good sports who bare furnished the people of thia community many evenings of delightful entertainment. We like 'em. Did Kirkland High deserves a lot of credit for the wonderful fight they put up lust evening at Portland and the boosting and rooting of every basketball fan in Adams <4!unty. Without a place in which to practice and without many of the facilities furnished most teams, they have rounded out a five that will give any team a gnod strap. Hats off to the boys from I Kirkland. Another Sunday comes tomorrow.i it's a good time to start your church going habit. You ill admit a community is better off with churches and if you believe that you ought to support them. The pastor can't do it alone or with the same few each Sunday. Fltl the ehnrehes tomorrow and make up your mind go take port in the work. fir Win prove an atocet to your community.

1 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAI, Sunday School j ’ Lesson ’ (B/ REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D.D.. | Dean of the Evenin< School. Moody 1 > Bible Institute of Chicago.) ' (#. 1*24. Wemern New«papsr Union.) - - ~ ' ■ - -- Lesson for March 2 THE REVIVAL UNDER SAMUEL LESSON TEXT—I Sam. 1:7. GOLDEN TEXT—Prepare your heart* unto the Lord and verve Him only.— I I Sum. 7:3. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Calls the Boy I Samuel. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Victory at Ebeneser. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Samuel Served His Nation. YOUNG FEOPI.rc ANU ADULT TOPIC—The Revival Under Samuel. Gross immorality and even anarchy prev idled during the close of the period of the judged, as we see recorded in the lifst chapters of Judges. Through the ministry of ths last judge. Samuel, a brighter day dawned upon Israel. I. Features of Israel’s History In This Period. 1. A Demoralised Priesthood. (1) Tire priests were actuated by greed (i Stun. 2:12-17). It was God'g will that those who ministered at the altar should live of the things of tbe altar, but they broke through the divine revelatiXis touching this patter and were securing their selfish ends by force. (2) The priests polluted the <4>urts of i God's bouse with the grossest itiunor- ' allty (1 Sam. 2:22). We thus see that ■ the condition of the nation was most appalling. When God’s ministers are actuated by greed and practice uncleanness, degradation and ruin rapidly follow. 2. An Alienated People. The only thing which separates people from God is sin. The people who choose sin aliall be thus separated from God. 3. A Cessation of Divine Revelation (I Sam. 3:1). God was silent ("The word of God was precious in those days, there was no open vision"). The message from the Lord wits a matter of memory. 11. God Cails Samuel (I Sam. 3:2-10). } Samuel's ~iiarae means, "Asked of God." He was given to Hannah in an-1 swer to prayer. In asking God for thia aon she vowed to dedicate him to the ■ Lord. Accordingly at an early age she took him to the sanctuary and gave him over to tha charge of Ell. Thus In his tender years he ministered to the Lord: The beautiful life of Samuel was in striking contrast to the degradation of the nation. 111. Samuel’s First Prophetic Message (T Sam. 3:11-19). Vp to this time Samuel obeyed the ’ one who waw over Mm, but the tlmej. had now come when he must directly' hear and obey the Lord. The first mes-sag-j intrusted to him is a most terrible one. He hesitated to teli It to Eli, but. when pressed by him, he manifested the true courage which wax lying back of Idd fear. He announced a fearful visitation nnon Eli's house because of the sins of his sons. IV. Samuel Established In the Prophetic Office (I Sam. 3:19 21). “And Samuel grew, and the Lord wax with him, and did let none of his words fall to tits ground, and all Israel from Dan even unto Beepsheba knew .that Samuel was established to be a propbet of the Lord." V. Victory of Samuel (I Sam. 7:1H). 1. Samuel Calls Israel to Repentance I (vv. 1-4). Some twenty years have I n«w elapsed since Israel was hunilllsted by the Philistines. He asks the I people to turn to the Lord with all I their hearts, the proof of which wou'd I be: (I) To put away their own licentious I worship. Thia was really gross llcen- I tlou»ne-ix un ier the gulee of religion. (2, To deect their hearts unto the I Lord snd serve Him only. 2. Israel Assembled at Mispeh (vv. 5. 0). The purpose of this as»»mbly Was the confession of their sin*. They poured water before the Lord, thus symbolizing their need of clennxlng and the pouring >qit of their hearts In jjenltenee before the Lord. They fasted snd publicly ronfexsed their Sins. 3. The Philistines Attack Israel (v. 7). The asxembly of Drael wt M!zp»h alarmed the Philistines. They Int-r---preted the gathering as a preparation to attack them, so they decided to attack first. . 4. The Intercession of Samuel fvv. S. 9). Samuel accmiipsnied his Interresalnn with a burnt offering, showing that be looked for acceptance In the sacrifice of another, even Christ. 3. The Victory fiber the Phllistlnm (vv. 1«. 11). This was the result of • God's InterpiHiltlon. “The i.onl thuni dered with a great thunder that day. t and diwnmfited them." * , e. A Memorial Set tip (vv. 12-11). , Saivudl set np a stone between Mlzpeh end Shen and called It Kbeneaer. which means, "Hitherto hath the Lord ( helped ns." Shining Christians.

Babe Ruth HI With Flu Hot Springs, Ark., March I.—“ Babe Ruth is good deal better this morning." | was the word passed out from the I headquarters at the Majestic hotel where the mighty slugger of baseball i is suffering from an attack of the flu. j Dr. W. T. Wooton was an early call- ' er at the room where Babe is flat on ; his back following contracting a heavy ; cold during a -flight ride in an open ■ automobile Thursday. I The physicians "kidded" Ruth back I into a cheerful frame of mind and told him lie might get out of bed Sunday and RO outside Monday if ho continued i to progress as well as he has during I the last 12 hours. o— Irregular tunics are featured in spring coat dresses, and scalloped flounces are most effective.

( i Wooden Shoes “The peasants in America do not wear wooden shoes at all, even in the fields!” writes Abbe Pierre, of I Gascony. “No, the peasants there w ear shoes of leather, although I should think that sabots would be much more serviceable, not only on the roads, but plowing. And wooden shoes are far less expensive. Ah, that America is an extravagant country!” • Advertisements haven’t yet taken the heavy wooden shoes from Gascon feet—nor yet the heavy wooden shoes from Gascon minds. Gascony thinks in the past. America in the future. Advertisements make the difference. They crisscross improvements in countless directions across the miles. They distribute Fords, furnaces and electric lights so widely that foreigners think you extravagant to enjoy them. They put you in touch with the latest conveniences. They help so many people enjoy those conveniences that their cost to you te small. You read advertisements to link yourself with the best -to substitute speed for the shambling progress you otherwise would have to make in the lonely wooden shoes of isolation. Do you read them regularly? Good habits pay. Advertisements are a reliable baying guide obtainable in no other way. 1 -d
