'XCUSES' SOUBJECT MONDAY NIGHT

ANOTHER GOOD SIZED AUDIENCE FINDS WAY TO CHRISTIAN CHURCH REVIVAL SERVICE ■ ’ ' 4

Another splendid audience found its way to the Christian church revival service last night where the Rev. W. T. Barbre delivered a sermon on “Excuses.” It was pronounced one of the very best discourses the Reverend has delivered during the series of meetings. Mrs. .Brock sang a solo entitled What A Savior.” In speaking on excuses the minister took occasion to mention many he said he had heard during the present services. “An excuse that is given for some advanced children by some parent is that they are ‘too young* or ‘do not understand;,” Rev. Barbre said. “I too think that small children who do not* understand enough are too young, but I know of so many parents standing in the way of boys and twelve and fifteen years of age and then when they wanted them to come they couldn’t influence thorn at all,” he continued. r , _ ■ “Then ySbme want to wait until they go to the old home place or church. That is contrary to, the word of God. Today is the day of salvation. Others say they are not of the ‘elect* so therefore they can’t come to Christ. They say they have never had the ‘call. The call comes from the bible alone and no one should wait for’eome supernatural voice. Then some say the reason they do not come is because there are too many hypocrites m the church. Too bad, isn’t it! Aren’t there any hypocrites in your business or proferinon“Then some argue that they are not’ good enough while others argue that they are good enough without the church. Others say they can’t hold out. Others are waiting on a certain feeling. But thete are not reasons, they are only excuses. The question is, win God accept you ‘excuse.’ If you know He won’t, then why put it to us when we try to persuade you to do your duty? Be honest and square up.” A delegation from Brook is to attend the service in a body on Thursday night. Tonight is “dime night” when each person present is asked to. contribute an equal small amount for the expenses of the meetings. A baptismal seryfce wiU be held at the close of th 6 service. The sermon as announced for tonight is to be on the subject The Three Biggest Fools in Rensselaer.”

RENSSELAER SLAIN IN ROUGH BOUT, 33 TO 10

The Rensselaer Independent basket ball team made an overland journey to Lowell Monday evening and were handed a 88 to 10 defeat by the team of that place in a fast, rough exhibition, featured by the splendid team work of' the home quintette and the inability of the Rensselaer marfajmen to drop the baU through the net The familiarity with the eccentricities of their baskets was responsible for their victory. The opening chapter- closed with Lowell leading by fifteen points, Rensselaer failing to score during the stanza although the ball was sent spinning around the Lowell basket on innumerable occasions, only to fall outride with sets srs selaer scored; Clark scoring by the field route. Captain Kirk then entered the game and placed two through the hoop in quick succession. His entrance seemed to brace Clark duplicated his tidck of a moment before and a short time later Ross added two points to the Rensselaer total with a neat exhibited great team work and showed"the result*, of many weeks of strenuous practice. They will be here Thorsby evenher. ‘

THREE PLEDGES STILL NEEDED

TWO-THIRDS OF HOUSE MEMBERS HAVE SIGNED UP AND SENATE LIST MAY BE J FILLED TODAY

Sixty-seven state representatives, or two-thirds of the membership of the lower House, had signed pledges Monday night that they would meet in a one-day special session of the Legislature to ratify the Federal suffrage amendment, but the failure of three Senators to commit themselves to the plan blocked the way /for an issuance of the call by Governor Goodrick last night, Pledges had been received from thirty-one’ Senators, whereas thirtyfour are required to mate thpjjjecessary two-thirds of ; the upper house. Failure to obtain the required ■ number of pledges will probably delay the special session of the legislature until Friday, the suffrage leaders believe. Miss Helen I bridge of Terre Haute, president of । the Woman’s Franchise' i>ague of i Senator their pledges today «o that the suffrage committee can go before Governor Goof’d rich With the names of two-thirds of the members of both houses. If the required two-thirds is obtained it is expected that the Governor will issue the call today for the special session. Governor Goodrich told the women last week that he desired two days to elapse between the issuance of the special call and the convocation of the Assembly. If the Governor still . adheres to that plan it is expected the legislators will convene Friday. ’ The provision, of the state constitution that “no bill shall be presented to the Governor within two days next previous to the final. adjournment of the General Assembly” wiU have no bearing whatever on the one-day special session plan, Governor Goodrich said last evening. ;. x ' . < , He said that this provision of the constitution has been interpreted as not being mandatory and as a result it has been the custom of the Indiana Governors to receive Wils on the last day of a session. The constitutional provision has been interpreted as merely being offered as a protection to the Governor in order to prevent the floodimr of his office with bills at the end of the session, he said. A,- . v The provision can in no way be applicable to the present case, the Governor pointed out, for the reason that not “bill” will come before the one-day session. When the session is called it will be certain that no other matter than the suf:r e ™. en m d » m «e n r t .^u 1 A, »Mh ft dw» not require the signature of the Governor nor does it have to be presented to him after passage. The notificatibn of tte ,pro|>osed A. Roach, secretary of state. This S a be to the secretary of state at Washsary numbef of states have ratified the amendment to the constitution. In the entire procedure no action is required by the Governor.
