The dispatch adds that the alljes’ fleet still have eight or ten forts and a certain number of coast batteries to reduce, but it believed they will be able to enter the Sea of Marmora within a fort. night. If the land forces are co- operating the warships will be alle to continue their advance. An offi- cial statement issued by the minis try of marine indicates that opera . tions are still near the entrance to the Dardanelles. This would seem to indicate that the fleet has not ad. vanced as far as previous advices in- dicated.

Quite frequently during the afternoon’s discourse was the sentiment of the audience man - itested by strong “Amens” to the many telling points made by Dr. Dodd. This afternoon Dr. Dodd spoke on the third and fourth com- mandments, “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain,” and “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” “And, right here,” said Dr. Dodd, in announc- ing his subject for this afternoon, 1 want to extend a most cordial in. vitation to every old cusser in town to be present and hear me on this subject.

Last evening at the First Baptist chursch, Mr. Martin, Dr. Dodd’s co- laborer in the revival, led the great congregation which filled the main floor of the Auditorium, In a special- 1y planned song service as a pre- Iude to Dr. Dodd’s sermon on “Won by One.” Beginning with a devo. tional song, “Nearer, my God, to Thee,” the great audience swept on throuwgh song after song dealing particularly with the theme of per- nal service, eclosing In a great burst of joy with the famous “Glory “ong.” #Won by One” was Dr. Dodd’s theme for last evening, based on the happenings recorded In the first chapter of John. He said in part: . “First, we see John the Baptist winning men to Christ, this is the work done by a preacher. He saw Jesus as he walked and said: ‘Be- hold the Lamb of God,’ and two of his disciples followed Christ.

COLONEL W, H. CROOK DIES IN WASHINGTON (By Associated Press.) Washington, March 13. W.H. Crook, disbursing office the White House, who was Presi- dent Lincoln’s body guard, died at his home here today of pneumonia. DR. DODD, REVIVALIST BEGINS MEETINGS : WITH TWO POWERFUL SERMONS ‘moat wonderful attractive walk, for John recognized him by his walk. Graceful to perfection, and I don’t believe Christ had o go to any mod. ern dance hall and take dancing les= sons to make him graceful, either. John was a preacher but he was a personal worktr, he led two men to Christ, by telling them ‘Behold the Lamb of God- Next we are told that one of these two was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, and that he ‘first findeth his own brother Simoniand brought him to Jesus.’ There is a business man working for Christ. We don’t hear much of Andrew after this, we know he was Peter’s broth . er, and they were business men, fishermen, or fish-market men, but it was Peter who preached that most wonderful sermon on Pente- cost that won three thousand to Christ. The world has heard very little of Mr. Edwards, a Boston shoe merchant, but Edwards won D, L. Moody and Moody rocked two con tinents for Christ. Next we notice that Christ won Philip, and Philip went to Nathaniel, telling him ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and thep rophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth.’ T call Philip the Sunday school teacher who won one, because he seems to have been a Bible student. There we have three types, the preacher, the businees man, and the Sunday school teach~ |er engaged in the “Won by One” method. That s my idea of personal work. That work which goes after |lost souls, all unseen ofm en. Not the personal worker which flies around over the congregation at the close of the sermon trying to pull folks down to the mourners’ bench. I sometimes believe that is done, largely, if not altogether to be seen of men. The method I want to see {used of men is this method told about here in this first chapter of John, where three separate types of men became so burnt up within | themselves with a desire to see souls won to Christ that they forgot thelr |business and went after them. | That's the method I want to see here in Lakeland, the only method that will bring us a great revival.” :Jusl this example. You say it's be- neath your dignity I refer you to Joseph Canonn, president of Fourth National Bank, New York city. He met Fred Smith, the International secretary of the Y. M. C. A. on the streets of New York and sald: “Fred, I must tell yor something.” Mr. Smith said he naturally supposed Mr. Cannon wanted to tell him of some financial matter, for he knew of the wide scope of the bank’s busi- nss. What was his surprise to hear Cannon say, “I am the happiest man in New York today for that man with whom I have been laboring and for whom T have been praying these two weeks, yesterday made a profes= sion of faith in Christ.” Services will continue this even= ing and each evening of next week, and a most cordial invitation is ex tended to the genmeral public.
