THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1915, DROP BOMBS INTO HEART OF LONDON Information that Leaked Past Cen- sor Indicates an Air Attack on British Capital. TWENTY DEAD AND 88 INJURED LONDON, Sept. 9.—Twenty per- #ons were killed and eighty-six others injured in last night's Zeppelin raid. These figures were given out here today officially. The German air- ships flew over the eastern counties of England and the London district. War at Close Quarters, ‘The rald of Zeppelins last night is de- scribed by the Pall Mall Gazette as “Lon- doners’ first glimpse of the war at close quarters.” The Hvening Standard speaks of the ooolness shown everywhers, but warns the public against the “noticeably wide- spread and dangerous disposition to re &ard the affair as a species of spectacle. It suggests that in addition to the Zep- pelln, which within limits “is a terrible instrument of war,” there s also danger from anti-aircraft guns. Therefore, the public, it says, would be weill advised to take aerial visitors more seriously than it aid last night. Last night's officlal statement concern- ing the airship raid stated that the Zep- pelins “visited the eastern countles and the London district.” Emglish newspapers are prohibited from publishing unofficial detalls concerning such attacks, but the foregoing guarded references Indicate that the Zeppelins approached the heart of the oity more closely than on previous occasions. Over Heart of London. CHICAGO, Sept. 6.~The Dally News today bases a surmise that the Zeppelin rald of last night must have been over the heart of London, on two telegrams from a staff correspondent at London. The first read, “Dafly News office and staff safe,” and the second, “All well."” “It is evident,” says the Dally News, “that the rald on the British capital was effective in or near what was called ‘the heart of London.' The Daily News office there is on Trafalgar Square, not far from such landmarks as St. James palace, Westminster Abbey, the Parliament build- ings and the Charing Cross railroad sta- tion.” DEATH RECORD.

IN THE SUNDAY TREE NURSERY R 3ah o't AN ) o P o -y W > = ,",/, ONG-BIRDS BEATING IT FOR 'TAB’ -t Si Billy Sunday’s “Billy” Sunday took for his topic. “The Revival at Pentecost,’ as told in the Bible, this afternoon at the tabernacle. It is one of his favorite topics because it relates the wonderful story of 3000 persons converted by one sermon. “Bllly"” sald, “Nowadays it takes about 8,000 sermons to convert one person.’ And the cause for this he declared to be the lack of spirituality in the church and the lack of the “one accord” spirit. His sermon was as follows: y ““The revival at Pentecost was not & man-gotten-up revival. The leader was | the Holy Spirit from start to finish. There was no cut-and-dried schedule. | They looked to the Holy Spirit for guld- | ance as to how the meeting was to be run, They were looking for two great thinge—first the Holy Ghost and then power. You'll have better prayer meetings if you go oexpecting something. Not culture and then power, not wealth and then power, not power and the Holy Ghost—it's got to be first the Holy host and then power, “We are disciples today just as cer- tainly as those men back In Judea, when it comes to the work of carrying on the gospel. One reason for the church's fallure today is that it does not realize that it has the same God-given mission. If the church is not doing the work of God, who {s? The saloons are not. The politiclans are not. The clubs are not. If the church is not doing God's work today, who fis Show me? I'll leave the church because I'm looking for God's representative, If you are mot, get out of the church. You and I have the same command to keep the world in a state of perpetual revival that the disciples had. You'll find the church that isn't is dying of dry rot today, too, pure and & “Why did they scatter in all direc- tion like shot from a gun! It shows good sense in you when you try to find out God's way of doing things. His way 1s to plant in April and May, not in October or November. You may not be- lieve in God, but there {sn't any old infide! who can run even his own farm without following the divine order. The time you spent in getting an education is not wasted. The time you spent eat- ing and sleeping and gathering energy is not wasted. Let's have the same kind of horse sense in the church. They waited ten days for Pentecost. What the church needs today is a baptism of horse sense. Let God Come First, “They made their business and domes- tic affairs arrange themselves not to in- terfere with the ten days’ prayer meet- ing. You do the same with these cottage and union prayer meetings. Never mind your club and your literary soclety. You can read your paper on Ruskin four or five months from now just as well as now. You'll get it all out of the en- cyclopedia, anyhoi/, and 1t'll be there then just as well as now. God's purpose 1s to give Him the right-of-way. Your way s to let housecleaning, theater-going, feasts, lodge meetings, card partics, week-end blowouts and everything else come in first before God. “They were continuously in the temple. They had all-day meetings, not for an hour in the morning. What did they go for? Did they go to gossip and talk about their neighbors? No, they went to talk about God. If a fellow ot up to say something he didn’t have some fellow pulling & watch on him if he happened to take up five minutes of his time. I've been in churches where they had clocks screwed on the pulpits, and T be- lieve the devil had his hand in that 1If the minister happened to go five minutes overtime—whew! They tock time to pray and praise God. Just consider why ft was and see how much they had to be thankful for. Then they were brethren there and they had better thnes. Judg- ing from the church attendance today, | heaven won't be packed with men. No | doubt the disciples had just as pressing | business s the men of Omaha today. “And those were warm meetings. Everybedy was enthusiastic. There was no danger of catching pneumonia by sit- ting down on a seat that had just been Revivals as Told Of in the Bible Afternoon Subject vacated by some church official or deacon. There was no ice water to those prayer meetings, “They came with one accord in one place. 1 don't care If it's the finest church any they don't come with one accord, the Holy Ghost won't be there to bless you. There are some members of the churches who haven't had him yet, If Paterson had had to wait for certain members of. the churches, the old town would have been in hell long ago. When anybody prayed there, everybody else sald ‘Amen. There was nobody who sald: ‘I wonder if he's going to pray all night’ There was nobody who said: ‘If I don't pray better than that I'd keep quiet.’ ““‘We've mever had another Pentecost because we've never had power. The church has increased in number, but not in power. After 1,90 years why is it that 120 praying men had more power than 12,000,000 church members today? They were all with one accord. That was it. They haven't been that way iif the church of God from that day to this. ‘“We need one accord more In our church today than we do church steeples and plpe organs. The average church pays more attention to the kitchen than to the Holy Spirit. Some people think they can't run a church without oyster soup. The more soup there is the faster the church s going to the devil, I be- leve In oyster soup, but I do not believe in coaxing quarters out of men's pockets to pay the back salary of the preacher. Some of you women will sweat your bangs out straight in the social room with & smile on your face, but put you in the prayer meeting and you're stiff as you can get. You're killing religion and assassinating the church by your stiff, stald conventionalities. We need one a cord In the churches more than we need high priced opera singers up in the choir loft to sing chromatic scales Itke a squirrel climbs a tree. ¥ Need One Mind. ‘You need more of one mind in the church and less controversy. More one mind and no denominational hair-splitting over opinions, no worrying about that note coming due, no thinking about what you're going to wear at the next soclal blowout and wondering if Mrs. So-and-So is golng to slip one over on you. There was juat one thing at that meeting—one accord—and that's why it Was a great meeting. Everybody there knew Jesus. Some knew Him after the flesh and some after the spirit. There is no doubt that the leper whom Ie healed was thers. There is no doubt but that the blind man He healed was there. When I get to heaven I'm going to hunt up that blind man of John ® and shake him by the hand, for he’s been an inspiration to me the way he lald out those old Pharisees. “The paralytic that they let down through the roof so that he could reach Jesus was there. He is the best author- ity there is in the Bible for doing things out of the ordinary. They didn't get him to Jesus in the conventional way. I dom't care whether they have a Prince Albert or whether their collar's buttoned in the back or not, just so they get to Him. And there's no doubt that the man with the withered hand was there, and Jalrus and his daughter, the centurion and his daughter, the woman with the lssue of blood, the man who laid by the pool, the disciples, Mary, Martha and Lazarus, and Mary Magdalene—all earnestly praying. Oh, yes! Everybody had an up-to-date experience with Jesus, It dldn't take five minutes to get them on their feet and | pry their mouths open. They all wanted to speak at once. The Lord knows how many got up and how long they knew Him exactly alike, but all loved Him. All would have something to say. ““There are lots of preachers who don't know Jesus.

The people outside will want to know the Jesus you know, The man outside will not be thers five min- | utes before he wants to kmow your Jesus if you've got such a spirit as there was at that Pentecost. | Get People to Know Jesus. “‘What you need to produce the revival in the church is to get the people to know Jesus. He sald, ‘I will send the Holy Comforter to you.! The last thought of Jesus on the cross was for power. What the church needs today is more power and the people getting right with God. There is too much playing nide-and-seelk and tag with the devil in the churches. |1t the church of Jesus Christ withdrew 1its patronage from the theaters of the {country they'd go out of business. “‘He gave His disciples power to per- |form miracles. The same power can be |delegated to you and me today. Jesus always wus not there. He didn't have (to be. They had Jesus, but the church needs Him today. It needs a baptism of the Holy Ghost. There are no substitutes, You can organize, prepare, hire the best singers and preachers in the unive {but you'll get no power. No matter what {Scriptural knowledge he may have, no matter if he prays so that it reaches the |stars, no matter if his sermons sway the congregation with their word pictures, no matter 1t the singers warble fault- ilessly and to beat the band—the preacher and the singer will produce no more effect than the beating of a drum lor the running of a music box.
