Attend these meetings hear this singing, arid let’s say more a hunt bur good singers and their singing. In these meetings the singing is done by singers from all the churches. Hobson preached on the subject, “Soul Food.” He said in the beginning: “If you are as glad to see me as 1 aril to see you it is loveat ttrstßight, You are Hobson’s choice. I hkve heard very complimentary reports about Nappanee and the people, both from traveling men and from preachers who have beeri located here. We are led to expect great things to come from these meetings. And 1 am glad to come to bold meetings in a city that like yours takes such advanced ground in civic righteousness. I was pleased to. know that you have no saloons in your city.” After speaking furtherabout preparations for the meetings, the part each should take in the work and what might be expected if each did his part, he

launched into his sermon. The audience was at no time disappointed. The speaker led them step by step through the truths in bis, great subject. Showing how we feed the body and the mind, but withhold the food for the soul. The soul is created with an appetite and a hunger, and no one should attempt to feed the soul on food not for its kind. The little child kopws that it cannot feed its pet kittenand latubon the same food. They don’t givp the kitten grass nor the lamb meat. Nelthej should we attempt to feed the soul on anything but soul food. Hobson's inimitable way of saying things, his power of word painting, his ability to show forth the true loving power of the Gospel waa so displayed that he led his audience at will from laughter to tears, through sorrow and sadness to joy and gladness, until itemed as he closed we were all on SM€ mountain top feeding our souls at the King’s table. evening session. The evening service was at seven o’clock and long before the service began- the house was full, people crowded in until all standing room was taken and hundreds w6re turned away. The song service was line. Hobson had. the audience give the scripture reading-each one giving hjs favorite quotation from the Scrip-ture-then had tbenrsing that good old song, “O Happy Day,” and theD gave the message as only Hobson can. How the revival began in Nappanee. It began just as it did in Samaria. He might have come here, but He sent these men to represent Him here. He will come some day fiONftppaDee, and if we are not ready, what? Let us be ready. God is no respecter of persons. Samaria is to Him just as Nappanee. He will help us here just as He did the people with whom He lived. The text was: “And He needs must pass through Samaria.” “And His disciples went into the city to buy bread.” Humanity is tfee same” the. world over and for all time. Sin was the same thousands of years ago —no improvements. The Ten .Commandments are still in force. Men praise Him as they did in olden times. Some with noise, some in silence. Put no strings on revivals. If you want to shout, shout. We love to hear our children laOgb and shout when they get gifts. Let us do as the Spirit directs, not' grieve the Spirit. - Ybu will have drawback in a revival. The Jews and Samaritans were not friendly. They had no . dealings with each other. Each had his own way of worshiping and .thought all ottfer? ftere wrong. ■One day the Savior said to his. disciples we must go to Galilee and we must go through Samaria. They took bjut little with .them. As they weDt they came to the well dug by Jacob. The Worneti of, the city must go to this well to get the water for family use. It was necessary for the women of all classes to do this. The good women went first and then the women of bad repute might come. Jesus planned to reach the well at the right time. He came to save sinners. Others would not listen. He loved humanity and will save no matter your garments. His discipleß went into the city to buy bread. - Jesus stopped at the well, and was thirsty. He was human and suffered as we do. How it encourages us. He was hungry, thirsty and tired, just as we are. And the woman refused Him a drink and wanted to get up an argument with Jesus as to which church was right. Don’t ask a .hungry wan if he is. of your church, feed him. She said you don’t belong to our church, I can’t give you a drink. You say Jerusalem is the place to worship, we say up here. Now what do you say? He said, “God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spiritand in truth.” Church-* es cannot forgive sins. John saw people from all nations in he4Jjjn and they did not belong to our church. Christ said to the woman, “Call thy husband.” How gently Jesus reminded of sin, no scold or quarrel or threatening. She said I have no husband. and Jesus said I knew it. She confessed and asked for help. Jesus said, “I am the Christ;’*— The disciples went into the city to buy bread and as they went from store to store they talked Jbout Jesus and bis wona®' derful works v Men recognized Peter as the-fisherman of Capurnaum, but how Peter had changed. He was now willing to talk and trade with a Samaritan. He was fixing for a revival in true style. He was talking it as he went about his daily business. Men in Nappanee can do this. In your store, in your factory, in your home. Wives, love your husbands into the kingdom, and fathers and mothers train your children for and bring then} into the Master’s love.

MEETING TONIGHT AT 7:30. The meeting tonight is a rally meeting. Special music, and sermon by Hobson. The song “I Love Him” as written and sung for S. H.

The great Sunday beginning continued Monday night. Beyond the TOndest expectations of the most hopeful,qthe church was tilled almost to its full capacity more than a half hour before Dr. Hobson began to preach, aod what preaching! The text was: “Have faith in God.” For an hour and twenty-live minutes he gazed into this great divine injunc tions of the soul’s Redeemer, and brought out arguments, appeals,Unjunctions of mighty thrilling impdrt, and illustrations followed up appeals that burned like tire, glowed like light, and thrilled like a trumpet call fresh from the throat of heavenly ove. O. it was more than good to be there! It was so mightily helpful and Inspiring that, everybody wanted to sing: “I’m goiDg home to heaven in the good old-fashioned way.” It

DANGER’MN DELAY. Kidney Diseases Ace Too Dangerous for Nappanee People tp Neglect. The great danger of kidney troubles is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health is gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubless, dropsy, diabetes, and Bright’s disease follows in merciless succession. Don’t neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan’s Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here in Nappanee. Stephen Hager, painter, living on South Main street, Nappanee, Ind., says: “Exposure and cold brought on ray kidney disease from which I suffered for a long .time. My kidneys acted jmperfectly and my back ached all the time, especially at night when I could hardly sleep on account of the • pain. Accompanying these symptoms were spells of dizziness and headaches, and nothing helped me until Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and I honestly believe that there is no real help for kidney sufferers except Doan’s Kidney Pills. They helped me when all other remedies failed arid I am, for that reason, glad to tell how greatly they benefitted me. I obtained them at Johnson's drug store, and they went directly to the seat of the trouble and banished all the unpleasant symptoms of kidney disease. lam now well and glad to tell anybody how jjcpatly. your reritedy helped me.” For safe all dealers.
