ZEPPELINS TRY

TO SPY BASE

BRITISH FLEET

LONDON, April 3.-Confirmation of recent report! that the latest Zeppelin

raid over England were for the purpose of locating the British grand

fleet is seen in the fact that the coast of Scotland was attacked by the Zeppelins which took part in the raid last

night.

Sunday night's attack, the third In three nights, will be followed by still

other air raids within a short time, it is believed. The Zeppelins are now being equipped with a new kind of searchlight of high power and also illuminating bombs, which are used in searching the land and water beneath the ships. A very careful search was made of the coast and particularly the harbors where the Germans evidently expected to find warships at anchor. The fact that the grand fleet has been reported In the vicinity of Kirkwall, Scotland, evidently led the German Zeppelins to attask in the northern part of the British Isles in hope of finding the anchorage of the fleet.

HELL FIRE IS REAL

SAYS EVANGELIST

The First Baptist church was crowded last night to hear Rev. F. G. Kenny's sermon on "The Wages of Sin." "No one can go on in sin," he said, "and escape the consequences. Samson blinded and grinding in prison is only an example of what sin does when it gets hold of a strong, promising young man. "But the consequences of sin are not limited to this life. We live at a time when it is not considered good form to mention hell fire, but those awful pictures the Bible presents of the results of sin after this life is past, must mean something. They could hardly have been injected into the Scriptures as a sort of bluff or by

the overdrawn imaginations of the writers. These things are there to

portray in a partial and imperfect way the fearful consequences of sin."

The meetings will continue every night this week. Friday evening will be young people's evening. All the young people of the church and the city are invited to this meeting.
