Fin For Sale or Lease as a and the southeast quarter the northeast quarter of th The Revival Campaign. The greatest evangelistic cam- paign that Butler has seen for -years closed Sunday night. Mr. Davis spoke Sunday afternoon on ‘The Second Coming of Christ.” The large audience listened with breathless attention .for more than an hour. The speaker advocated no wild theo- ries but cited many passages of scripture in abundant proof of what he said. At the close of the message those present testi fied to the helpfulness of the ad- dress to themselves. “In the evening service by 7p ] m., the entire church building was filled to the doors. The song service wasspirited. ‘'Saved by Grace” was sung by a quartette of the youngest members of the White Brigade: Marietta Jen- kins, Juanita Holloway, Mary Talbott and Nina McCombs. Mr. Carlson sang ‘‘Despised and Re jected.” Both thequartette num ber and the solo were well sung} and helpful. | Mr. Davis took for his closing! sermon the text, -‘‘Choose you) this day whom you. will serve.” It was a great sermon. Great in its simplicity, in.-its clearness and in its unanswerable argu ment. His closing illustration was a contrast between the life and death of Robert Ingerso) and Dwight L. Moody. Inger soll’s life was @ curse to those who came under his influence. Wis last hour on earth was spent playing pool and he dropped dead without a word. Moody won 1,000,000 souls to Christ; left two great Bible schools as . Monuments to his life and died with his family about him and these words upon his lips: ‘Barth is receding, heaven is opening and God is calling me home. This is my coronation “day.” As Mr. Davis finished there was hardly a dry eye in the house.

He then handed each pastor's wife a large beautiful boquet of carnations, expressing the love of their offi cial boards before them. The audience softly caught up ‘‘God be with you ’till we meet Again,” while the evangelist slipped out by a side door and away to his train, leaving pastors and people together with their hearts full; of gratitude to God for ever! | ning to two of losing in doing this. FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. : About the meanest man going is the fellow who is stingy and tries to make his wife think he is merely practicing economy. ‘ Lost treasure may be found, and if it cannot be restored to the loser it may be of value to somebody, but lost time is a total loss for aye. I overheard a farmer handhis hired man a compliment last week. After briefly reviewing the latter’s career in language that was somewhat pictur- esque, to say the least, he said: “Bill, if I knew as little as you I would get a sheet of paper and write it out so I could have it to refer to any time.”’ Bill, being of a sensitive nature, is now working in the adjoining county. The idea that corn will be unusually high in the spring is leading quite a number to be too close with their feed- ing. ‘They have one chance of win- It also is well to remember that the lib- eral feeder seldom loses money, while the grain speculator seldom wins.

Mr. Davis was guaranteed no fixed sum. He depended entirely upon the free will offerings of the people which he said went over his expectation and for which he was profoundly grate ful Mr. Davis uses his evan gelistic offerings to help support “The Practical Bible Training School” of Binghampton, NY. The school 1s managed by Mr. Davis. It has graduated over 1000 preachers, missionaries and evangelists. A full summary of the cam- paign is impossible. Many have have been transformed from in different to active Christians. The exact number is not known for Mr. Davis does not count numbers. He works rather for permanent results after he has gone. And he has never failed yet. It is undeniable that a very definite spiritual uplift has come At the conclusion of his won- derful message, Mr. Davis asked “the pastors who: had been-co op- erating with bim,and their wives ee step to the platform. He then asked the church officers present to stand in a row before them and then all joined hands and sang, ‘‘Blest be the Tie that Binds.” And in what followed Mr. Davis showed his. unselfish spirit. He said that he wanted the people to think of their pas tors more than of him. He was willing for them to forget him “Marlin Repeating to Butler. Pastors and churches have received new help and power. The influence of the meeting has been much wider than Butler. A single contribu- tion of $10 came unsolicited from Hume.

Business men say that an open win- ter is hard_on business, but it saves money for the poor folks, and also for the farmer; and therefore it keeps money in the country, which ought to be good for everybody in it. The donkey never will understand why a fool of a man should be called ‘an ass. In pasturing alfalfa with cattle the danger of bloatingis great. In fact, it is never safe to turn cattle in on an al- falfa field when itis wet with dew. After frost the danger is not so great. The large stems, chiefly to blame for this condition are wilted. If folks would essay as much inter- est in the welfare of others as they do in their business affairs, how much happier this old world would be! It is easier to stick to the land than get back to it again after cutting loose from it. But a good many folks ‘appear to be unable to close their hearts to the lure of the things on the distant horizon.
