She has been visiting her younger children at the Sunday eastern home at Winona Lake, Ind. Another “hot” sermon for men only is announced for Sunday afternoon by Bob Matthews, “Billy’" Sunday's press agent and secretary. The subject will be “The Devil's Boomerang" or ‘‘Hot Cakes Off the Griddle.” A telegram of appreciation gnd confl- dence was received by Mr. Sunday from the annual state conference of the United Brethren in Christ, which is now in ses- slon at York. “Billy" wired a reply, to the effect that such words of en- couragement meant more to him than all Told Society Women ! The first “Billy” Sunday meeting in Council Bluffs was held yesterday morn- ing at the home of Mrs. Ernest K. Hart More than 175 women and a few men as- sembled at Hillerest A musical program was followed by a prayer and sermon by Sunday, who took for his text Jeremiah 15:4. “And the veasel that he made of clay was marred in the hands of the potter; so he made it again another vessel as seemed good to the potter to make it." He spoke of regeneration and likened his hearers to the clay and God to the potter, declaring that persons who fail to attain the helght they might have reached, nevertheless may become use- ful and valvable members of soclety He told of his first visit to Council Blutfs forty years ago, when friendless and forlorn, he passed through the city on his way to the orphans’ home at | Glenwood, Ia Oxford M OXFORD, Neb, Sept.

Midnight, midnoon; summer, winter; heat, cold; hills, valleys; famine, plenty; rain, drouth; sickness, health; vice and virtue walk the street; Joy and sorrow look from the same window; the hearse follows quickly after the bridal procession; the funeral dirge is heard mingling with the wedding march; tears follow laughter. All lives are more or less a contrast. But no life, no history, sacreq or profane, to me presents a larger number than that of David, the author of my Psalm and text, I am first introduced to him when a shepherd lad, when he herded his father's flocks, when Samuel was sent of God to anoint him king of lsrael. The next vision I catch of David is that he has thrown the shepherd crook on the ground, picked up the crown, climbed up and sat down on the throne and swayved a scepter instead of a shepherd’s crook. The next vision I have of David Is that he has become a sinner, He forgot God, to whom he was indebted, and trailed and dragged his name in filth; then, by crying unto God, Who granted him pardon, he became a saint. He was also a poéet of no mean ability,. He was a musician, too, and charmed King Saul in his melancholy smoods. He was a warrior, and led the hosts of God to victory. His son Absalom, had rebelled. Saul, jealous of his popu- larity and success, sought to kill him, and chased him from the mountains like a partridge, and David went from pillar to post and at last took refuge in the cave of Engeda. Then it was that the words of my text were wrung from his heart. “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me; refuge falled me; no man cared for my soul.” It seems strange to me that any man, at any period of the world's history, should be compelled to use words like these, and that such words should be the honest expression of the lack of in- terest manifest toward him by those whom he knew and with whom he came in contact; but it is more than passing strange to me that any man in your day and mine, with such opportunities to know God, with all the inducements that he has, his knowledge of Christlanity— and he has seen that bigotry and super- stition have been swept away and we stand on a foundation of common sense— I say it does seem to me staggering and astoundingly strange that any man could use words like these, and that they would be the honest expression of the lack of interest manifest toward him by those who profess to love and know the Lord. Ang yet it is true. “No man cared for my soul.” It is as true iIn Omaha as when David, from the cave in the moun- tains, cried it out. Oare for Thelr Bodies. Did you ever stop to think of the great concern which i{s manifest for people in times of physical distress? Let the cry of a child be heard and we will drop our money, we will turn from the counter, we will stop discussing politics or talking religion, we will forget our differences of creed and color and will rush to the ald of the helpless whose cry has called va. Tt is a solemn thought when it may apply to people who come to your own church, Every church h standard. ‘There are certain men in this town, when they go to church they go because their mother went there, or because their wife is a member, or because their children are in the S8abbath school. They Are Walting. Sometimes you might think people don't care to talk about religion. Now you listen! Where you will find ane man or one woman that will treat you disre- spectfully you will find one hundred that will lsten to you and thank you because you came. Then let the one go to hell and try to get the one hundred. If a man is so low down and good for nothing and God forsaken that he would treat you disrespectively if you would go and talk to him about Jesus Christ, I have no patience with him. Infide; Town, I was at one time in & town in Ne- braska and the people kept telling me about one man there. I can take you to & section of that county that is as rotten s« hell—the Republican valley in Nebraska. It was settled by infidels, from Fortage Junction down to the Mis- souri river, and the lower end of it Nebraska City, and that Republican val- lew is rotten with infidels. Don't ever K0 out there. The wrong crowd got there first. Well, I was In & town In Nebraska and they sald: ““There is one man here, if you can get him he is good for 10 men for Christ.” I said, “who is he? John Champenoy. He is the miller. 1 said to Mr. Preston, who was then a min- ister, “have you been to see him?" No. 1 asked another minister If he had been to see the fellow and he sald no. T asked the United Presbyterian preacher (they have & college out there, you know) and he s&ld no, he hadn't been around to see bhim. 1 sald, “well, I gueas I'll go around to see him.” I found the fellow seated in & chair teetered back against the wall, wmoking. 1 said, “Is this Mr. Champe- ] i f { locked himself up. Napoleon spent his noy?" ‘“Yes, sir, that's my name.” He got up and took me by the hand. I said “my name is Sunday; I'm down at the church preaching. A good many have been talking to me about you and I came down to see you and ask you to give your heart to God.” He looked at me, walked to a cupboard, opened the door, took out a half pint flask of whiskey and threw it out on a plle of stones. He then turned around, took me by the hand, and as the tears rolled down his cheeks he sald, “1 have lived in this town nine- teen vears and you are the first man that has ever asked me to be a Chris- tian.” He said, “they point their finger at me and call me an old drunkard. They don't want my wife around with their wives, because her husband is a drunk- ard. Their children won't play with our bables. They go by my house to Sun- day school and church, but they never ask us to go, They pass us by. I never g0 near the church. 1 am a member of the lodge. I am a Mason and I went to the church eleven years ago when a mem- ber of the lodge died, but I've never been back and I sald I never would go.” 1 said, “you don't want to treat the church that way. God isn't to blame, is He?' “No.” ““The church isn't to blame, is 1t 0" “Christ isn't to blame?”’ “No.” “You wouldn't think much of me It T wéula walk up and slap your wife because you kept a dog 1 didn't like, would you? Then don't slap God in the face, be- cause there are some hypocrites in the church that you don't like, and who are treating you badly. God is all right. He never treated you badly. Come up and hear me preach, will you, John?" “Yes, I'll comie tonight.”” I sald: “All right, the Lord bless you, and I will pray for you.” Proved a Comvert. He came; the seats were all filled, and they crowded him down the side aisle. I can see him now, standing there, with his hat in his hand, leaning against the wall, looking at me. He never took his eyes off me. When 1 got through and| gave the invitation, he never walited for| them to let him out; he walked over the| backs of the seats, took his stand for Jesus Christ, and in less than a week seventy-elght men followed him into the kingdom of God. They elected that man chairman of the civic federation, and he oleaned the town up for Jesus (Christ,' and has led the hosts of righteousness from then until now. Men do care to talk about Jesus Christ and about their, souls. “No man cares for my soul.' That's what's the trouble. They are anxi- ous and waiting for someone to come.

Earth wants to lead you, hell damn you and heaven save you Above your heads are the angels of light, snow white from the throne of God, and around you are the devils of darkness, black pinioned from hell, and they rip and tear with beak and talon, and you have it to say who will win, heaven or hell.
