--- KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. "CLOSER TO HELL THAN EVER BEFORE," SAYS J. O. Hot Springs, Ark.-I believe I am right at the jumping off place, and it it all I can do this week to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart, just one step between me and where the devil lives, and I think when he gets to earth he is coming via Hot Springs. Perhaps you are wanting to know what has happened to me that I am saying these things, and I would like to know myself, for I am not talking out of my head but with all the good sense I ever crammed into this big head of mine. You may know that we are near hell when I tell you that the water comes out of the ground hot, and the heating of it is caused by the fire of hell. People are here from everywher trying to have that water boil out their sins. I have never before realized what a toll nature demands for your folly and sin, and to make a trip to this city, so near the infernal regions tells all to "Keep off the grass' or you will have to pay for it up the road. While this is true, I want you to pray for the fortunate. I am here attending conference; and I have seen some things to inspire me and to help me to thank God that I belong to your race. For instance, I have been in Poro college right here in Hot Springs, and if not in the college in a Poro parlor which will answer for the same thing down here. It is the parlor and flat of one of the busiest women in this country, Mrs. E. C. Clardy, an embodiment of brain and culture, industry, honesty and thrift. She came into the world via Columbus, Miss., and had the pleasure of being trained under that great educator, the late W. L. Mitchell, and from there she branched out in the world. She then went out as a teacher, Miss Catherine Golden. Her mark was made as a teacher in Oklahoma hustling young man, and she also went to St. Louis and took a course in the Poro college, and came to Hot accepted the hands of Eugene Clardy, thoma, but a few years ago, she ac- Springs, put her business establishment in 1908, an dbelieve me when I tell you honey, that she is one more busy woman. When she gets hold of you and turns you loose in this hair business it is manners. I had the pleasure of visiting her meat, well fitted up parlors. She has put some money in fitting it up, and I am here to tell you that there is not a finer place in this town. She is right across the street from the Pythian bath house, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to congratulate Mrs Malone on this wonderful character. Many things have been happening in Arkansas since I have been here, and I have seen some things which have almost made me shout. I have had the pleasure of shaking hands with Governor Charles H. Brough, and you see it is not often that I get to shake hands with a southern governor, but here is one who is not afraid to go among the people and sit side by side with them, and then call together representatives of both races in the capital to think, to talk and to reason together. I was delighted to see this one thing and I could not keep from shouting myself when I saw all the men and women of both races fill the house of representatives and heard what they have to say about this thing you call race problem and race adjustment. No this was not a trashy meeting, but a meeting of thinking men, and then they did not ask my people to come with a string tied to their feelings, but to speak right out in churoh, and you believe me, honey, when I tell you they did do that thing. Now let me see some of the things which happened at the meeting and if I can remember them I am going to tell you. They met and the down first floor of the house was livided, and then my people had all of the gallery, the seats of honor behind the railing, were divided also, and the governor made the first talk in which he told the object of the meeting, and reviewed the Elaine trouble as he had seen it, and told how fair it was his desire to be in the matter, and he thought that if he had not gone down there with the federal troops there would have been untold lives lost. He said that it was his desire to get a better relation between the races, that relation which seems to have been strained. He wanted an open free expression, and wanted the colored people to be perfectly frank. I have never seen a spirit of fairness coming from the south as I did in this case. I felt a little uneasy when he declared that he wanted the matter threshed out by th people of Arkansas, and did not invite any information or advice from the outside. I just kept my mouth. When he was through with his statement and they had prayed, then Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention, was called forth and asked to make a statement. I would say that he was the first on the witness stand, because questions and counterquestions were poured into him for some little bit. The governor asked him about the Jim Crow law, and asked him if he did not think that Arkansas was fair, and that the people were satisfied. All held their breath wondering what the answer would be. They looked at Dr. Morris from all angles and from all kind of eyes, and some were a little shaky. He is a man and you can always depend on his leadership. To this question Dr. Morris replied that the Jim Crow law was a disgrace to the south and a backward step in civilization. He thought the best interest for all concerned would be in having all prospective laws repealed, and hoped they would be. Now I am not going into a discussion of the Elaine trouble this week for it would take too much space,—in fact just to tell what happened in Little Rock, at this conference would take up the whole paper. At any rate the meeting was held, Bishop Conner made a speech, and told some helpful things for the race. The meeting will result in great good being accomplished in this country. Believe me, sir, it is going to happen. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to thank and congratulate Governor Brough for having the many courage to call together both races in his office, and then the appointment of a committee of seventeen, nine white and eight of us, and they are threshing out many important things. I will have to bring this letter to a sudden stop, but before doing so, I must tell you that the Baptists and Methodists were in session in Little Rock at the same time, and just across the street from each other, and exchanged greetings. The African Methodist Episcopal conference was presided over by Bishop J. M. Conner, and the Baptist State convention was presided over by B'shop E. C. Morris, and both these big men had many things to say. I wish that I could just enter into some of them. Dr. A. J. Carey, of Chicago, has some friends here, and so the same is true with Dr J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, Kansas, and other prominent men. Dr. V. M. Townsend is certainly making friends in his home state, and as I see it now he is going to be the next secretary of Church Extension. The complexion of the delegates to the General conference looks that way. Now then, you can keep your eye on J. C. Caldwell. He is a great man. I must not say more. I. O. MIDNIGHT. "THE SMARTER SET." No more fertile subject has ever been afforded the American author and playwright than that furnished by the Afro-American, Black-faced comedy is put on the country over by men and women of more or less ability in this line and when ably presented never fails to make a hit. On Sunday, Dec. 21st and for one week the patrons of the Auditorium Theatre will be given an opportunity to see the comedy of the Afro-American nature, together with something of its more serious side portrayed by members of this race. The play is called "The Children of the Sun," which is in two acts with ten scenes, and is headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who are supported by the strongest company of colored artists ever gotten together, while Whitney, who is considered the funiest colored man on the stage today,ills the role as comedian. Then there is a stunningly gowned chorus of brown-skinned beauties well worth hearing. Mr. W. L. King, the new groom who was married in Emporia Wednesday, Nov. 26th, returned home Sunday night and was passing the cigars out to the boys Monday. Mrs. King, see Miss Kelley, will finish her contract as teacher in The, Topeka Institute, and then Mr. and Ms. King will go to housekeeping in this city. CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1919 1234567890 MRS. NOLAND, 54 YEARS IN A. M. E. CHURCH, IS DEAD Mrs. Rachel Noland, 344 Greeley avenue, peacefully passed away last Saturday morning at 2:45 a.m., after several months' sickness. She was born in Ontario, Canada, but had lived in Missouri and Kansas for a number of years. She was a loyal and devoted member of the A. M. E. church for 54 years. Her work for the church and humanity stood out as a beacon light. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at First A. M. E. church at 2 p.m., Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating. Many resolutions were read from the church and other condolences from her friends. The floral offerings were profuse, and came from many quarters of her wide acquaintance. The remains were shipped and intered Tuesday at Glasgow, Missouri. She leaves a devoted husband and sister, a nun, who lives in Baltimore, Md., and a host of friends. Her pastor, Dr. Griffin with the family, accompanied the remains to her last resting place. A large concourse of her friends met them at the depot and they too laid huge floral pieces upon the casket. Her husband and relatives have the deepest sympathy including The Advocate in their hour of bereavement. W. A. CAMPBELL SHOT. Mr. W. A. Campbell, state supervisor of the American Woodmen of Missouri, and well known on the Kansas side, was shot Wednesday evening of last week by some unknown person while going along the street. Mr. Campbell was taken to the hospital, where he died the next morning without giving any knowledge of who the gunman was. Mr. Campbell came here some time ago from Mississippi and had done a great work for the Woodmen in Missouri. Mr. and Mrs. F. Easley, 604 New Jersey avenue, entertained Thanksgiving with a fine turkey dinner. Those present were: Mrs. Green, Mrs. Luella Green, Prof. T. B. Steward and Mrs. Lottie D. Hall. The lovely daughter of Mrs. Easley, Miss Olivia, assisted greatly in making things pleasant for the guests. CITIZENS' FORUM. The Citizens' Forum met as usual and enjoyed more what is really Forum work than it has in 21 years, i.e. a Forum is a place of judicial and public business, for the betterment of all people. President Hodge presided. Opened with "Jesus Saviour Pilot Me." Invocation by the chaplain; sacred music, "Happy Davi." Prof. H. S Williams of Sumner High gave and explained the current events in a way which has never been excelled. Prof. Ross opened the talks for the American Legion. He said: "Mr. Darby fuel administrator, has appointed Mr. Gaskin, Attorney I. P. Bradley and one or two others to find out those who need coal in our race. After a pretty piano solo by Miss Dwiggins, the first question discussed was, "What is best for us to do in the coal crisis?" Mr. Dwiggins, Prof. Buster, Rev. Napper and Judge Bradley al italked well on the question. Dr. D. A. Holmes was called on and advocated conservation and praised Governor Allen for his sympathy and bravery in mobilizing a coal army, to keep all women and children from freezing Dr. Holmes says he understands getting coal out of those strip pits. He received great applause on his talk. Dr. Carl Grant said, "the members of the American Legion are an authorized to enroll men to work in the mines in this emergency." Mr. Cansidee Jenkins, one of the Legion, said, "Why not go ourselves?" Said he would go Monday and tell them to send him to work in the mines. He received an ovation for his bravery for to save the lives of women, children and Infirm. The publicity committee now says, "She told you so." She concurs with Prof. King, the critic, that it was one of the most advantageous meetings we've had. It was a symposium of heart to heart talks. The Food, Fuel and H. C. L. situations were discussed. A revolution of praie to Governor Allen was spoken of, and all enjoyed this real Forum. Mr. Carl Hoffman, who put the organ in Metropolitan wil give an organ resital Sunday. The speaker will be Father Wright of the Episcopal church. ADVOCATE Allen Chapel A. M. E. church held Union Thanksgiving service, with Western University and community at Ward Chapel, at 11 o'clock a.m., which was largely attended. Dr. Edward Vaughn, dean of Theology at Western University, delivered the message, text: "Watchman, What of the Night?" To say it was a masterly address would be commonly putting it. The speaker was at his best, with force and eloquence, setting forth beautifully the condition of the hour and feelingly portraying the suffering of our race. He closed with an earnest appeal, as a race, we should strive individually to be pure in mind, principle and purpose and the blending of these forces in a unit, the chief asset to the proper attainment of the race, and we will go a long way in relieving the present condition, even though the night cometh, the day of right is coming. Rev. Knight and President Peck gave timely remarks at the close. The Thanksgiving offernig was given to Allen Chapel. This service will be long remembered by all present. The series of sermons by Rev. Knight, "God's Salvation" is creating much interest in the community and was manifested by many new visitors Sunday. There is room for more; we miss you—come. The little folks of the Sunday school rendered a fine program Thanksgiving evening. Watch for our Christmas exercises. Too much credit cannot be given to little Thelma Densimore, for her untiring efforts in getting up the program. Senior Stewardess board and Mite Missionary society served refreshments. On account of the fuel shortage there will be only one preaching service, hour. 11 o'clock a.m. We will expect to see you at this hour. CORRECTION.

WEATHER FORECAST FOR KANSAS CITY AND VICINITY From Dec. 4th to 11th, unsettled, light. snow probably, shifting winds and continued cold; occasional sun-sunshine. —By Rev. C. F. Collins, Astro. THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. GARDNEN CITY, KANSAS Please allow me space in your paper to say something more of the people of Garden City I want the people of the East, South and North to know there is not a more loyal class of people on the globe than in Garden City. I have succeeded in organizing one among the best Missionary societies in the Wichita District. I have also a good Allen League; as good a League as I have attended in the East, being conducted by Brother Earnest Roberts of Coffeyville. He is as good as any of your leaders in the East, and Sister G. C. Pennington of this city is vice-president. WIF P En most was to M. Wedd church The trans garden chrys I also want to mention to the ministers of the East, North and South that we have one of the best evangelists who is now running a meeting in our city. She is equal to her task. In other words for those many years gone by I have heard both men and women, and I know of none that I could, mention is her superior in the person of Mrs. Etta Scott McCurry of Kansas City, Kansas. I want to furthermore say, to the brethren: We are now engaged in one of the greatest revivals held in this city. Why, I say thi sto you, simply because the people of this city acknowledge the fact to me. We Began our meeting on the 16th day-of this month, running one week Through the power of the Gospel being preached in its purity, by whom I have just mentioned. Nine have united with the church. Our attendance is larger than has ever been known in the history of the city. People have been wakened up far and wide through the preaching of the Gospel in its purity. There is one thing I can say, this is not a one man's revival. We have what you call a one mans revival. Three churches consolidated. God being our helper, as ministers of the Gospel, trying to take down the opposing power's Satan has in store to keep men and women from coming to the fold of Jesus Christ. I thank God we have the spirit of love, existing between these three churches. I want to say to you, brethren, if your church and members seem to be in a state of fear and want to be revived by the spirit of Jesus Christ, I ask you in God's name, write and have Sister Scott come to your place. You will never regret her coming to your city. I have had the pleasure of being escorted by the distinguished gentleman, Mr. Geo. C. Pennington and wife, of this city, through the sugar factory, accompanied by the evangelist and Mr. and Mrs. Roberts of Coffeyville. I had the pleasure of seeing beets in their infancy being developed into sugar. Furthermore, I want to say, Mr. G. C. Pennington is one of our foremost citizens of this city. He is in the real estate business and doing well. He would be glad to locate any one that would desire to come to this part of the state. Since I have had more time to look over the country, I find many wealthy colored farmers owning large beet farms; also a great sweet pato country. - Also at Houghton, Kansas, we have some of the largest land owners there are in the United States. I want to say to my people through this valuable paper there isn't any need of the people of the South having a hard way making a living, when there is plenty of land out here in this western country. Any man or woman with a desire to reach a higher spiritual, intellectual and financial prosperity, the west is the place for you. We have what we call "No Man's Land," and what we mean by this, the Government owns it and would be too glad to have some one homestead it. The people here would be too glad to have you take up this valuable land. I am going to close and as I learn more, I will write more to my people in the future. Pastor A. M. E.

Rev. Taylor, Pastor. On last Sunday morning the assistant superintendent called the Sunday to order at 10:30 a.m., with quite a few bright young boys and girls. The lesson was discussed well; all of the teachers were present, and were at their posts. The superintendent is expecting to make a 100% increase in the scholarship by next December. All are invited to attend our Sunday schol and the divine service. Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey, who has been pastor for the last four years, is now deceased from pastorship and has charge of another church. He is the cabinet evangelist of Kansas. Rev. Taylor is our new pastor and is expected to be on his new work Sunday, Dec. 8th at 12:25 p. m. The rostrum was filled by Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey. He preached a wonderful sermon on his return. May the Lord bless him that he may grow on to success. He will leave Saturday for Parsons, Kansas. The Bible Band invites any visitor to attend the meeting at 6 p. m. Every Sunday. At 7:30 p. m., the pulpit was filled with Rev. John Farr, a noble speaker and he said many good things. He was followed by Rev. I. C. Collins. He sure did preach a powerful sermon. Rev. I. C. Collins is now pastor at Lawrence, and Independence, Kans. Mr. Carlisle, at 309 Oakland avenue, who has been ill two weeks, is now able to be at his occupation in North Kansas City, Mo. The Church of God is located at 337 Oakland avenue. W. C. ARCH. There is said to be a strong sentiment against the Star among the Negroes of Kansas City, Kansas. A few months ago the Star gave an entertainment at Convention hall. When it was found that colored people were seated among the whites, ushers were sent to evict the negroes and the result is that few Stars are delivered to the negro districts. As the Star makes most of its money off of the editorial page, of course, it does not hurt the paper, but makes it mighty unpleasant for those the Star supports for office on the Kansas side.—Labor Buleltin. Despite the government's campaign to reduce living costs, the prices of many articles of food show further advances in October, according to the United States bureau of labor statistics. Eggs and rice advanced 6 per cent; potatoes and raisins, 4 per cent; evaporated and fresh milk, coffee and prunes, 3 per cent; pork chops, butter, corn meal. rolled oats, navy beans and sugar 2 per cent; canned salmon, ole margarine, cheese. bread, macaroni and organges 1 per cent. Ham, nut margarine and tea increased less than five-tenths of 1 per cent.

CHURCH NEWS Although the Sabbath was cold and stormy, the auditorium was well filled at the morning service, many visitors being present. Dr. Griffin filled his pulpit, delivering a deep and most interesting sermon. It was a sermon that caused Christians to reflect and examine themselves and sinners to halt and meditate, as to their going. Rev. Albert Miller, one of the churches local divines, and a Christian gentleman, preached a highly intellectual sermon at the evening service. Those present enjoyed and received much benefit from this splendid young minister's gospel message. The assistant pastor, Rev. Alex Jones, vice-dean of Western University, and also assistant superintendent of the Sabbath school, is always at every service of the church, and is doing much to relieve the pastor in any way possible. The First A. M. E. has the only regularly appointed assistant pastor west of the Mississippi river and among the few in the conection. The revival meetings closed Thursday night, on account of the fuel ban that was put on all public places. Sunday school and the regular Sunday church services will continue as usual, but there will be no meetings during the week until further announcement. The First Quarterly meeting of this conference year will be held Sunday week, December the 14th. Rev. J. D. Barksdale, our new presiding elder, will be in charge. Class leaders will see that their members are supplied with quarterly envelopes and their return at the quarterly conference Monday night, December 15th. The entire membership of the church are invited to attend the quarterly conference, and should come and see for your own satisfaction what has been done in the past three months. Do you attend the Allen League? Do you or your children attend the Sabbath school? Is there anyone who reads this column each week, that does not attend some church service? It will rev you to attend any one or all of them. Come this Sunday and see if you don't feel better all next week. There is a lot of warm Christians in the church, but on a day like last Sunday they have cold feet. The Thanksgiving services at 11 c'clock were well attended. Rev. Alex Jones, the assistant pastor, delivering the message, which was scholarly and full of rhee food for the soul. It was greatly enjoyed by his hewers. The pastor's aid society, Mrs. Ida Lvons, president, served a large and delicious turkey, goose and chicken dinner, after the close of the thanksgiving service. It was one of the finest feasts seen in this dining room. The club realized the clear $50.00. FOR SALE. All-Over Aprons. Waist Aprons, made of white and gingham. Made to order. All kinds of plain sewing by a reliable dressmaker. MRS. IDA CARUTHERS, 2918 North Sherman. Two families from the northwest portion of the city have moved to San Diego within the last week. In both instances the families had coal which they sold to their neighbors. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE "COMMON SENSE, WEAPON FOR BOLSHEVISM, SAYS LABOR EXPERT. Indianapolis, Ind.—Earnest warning against the destructive menace of Bolshevism was uttered here today by Peter W. Collins, Director General of the Reconstruction and Employment Service of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. Collins addressed the convention of the Indiana Bankers' Association. He is an expert in the labor field and was employed in that capacity by the United States Shipping Board while the war was in progress. "Common Sense is the best weapo nfor Bolshevism," says Mr. Collins. "It is the one thing most feared by Bolshevists." HONEY FOR SALE. Three thousand pounds of honey made from Italian bees. Extract and comb honey for table and medical use. Can buy in small or large quantities. JAMES SAUNDERS, Perry M. Reed of New London, Ia., who came back from overseas with a gunshot wound in his face, says he is receiving double the salary he got before entering the service. Reed enlisted in Co. M, 56th Infantry, on May 14, 1918. He went overseas and fought without injury until just one day before the armistice was signed: Near Metz, in German Lorraine, on November 10, 1918, he received the knockout blow. His discharge came on September 16, 1919. Three days later, he entered upon training under the Federal Board for Vocational Education, at the Victory Vulcanizing and Tine school, Baltimore Md. On November 1, he received from the Reconstruction Division, War Department, an appointment as instructor at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, at $162.50 a month—about $2000 a year. Reed seized the opportunity. More choice, the kind of thing he wanted to over, it was the opportunity of his do. Arthur E. Holder, labor member of the Federal Board, once said that he believed that perhaps only five out of every hundred men are following occupations of their choice. Most men are just proceeding along the line of the job which was easiest to obtain when they came out of school or into which they were driven by economic necessity. In the minds of the majority of people, the Federal Board for Vocational Education stands for work in the rehabilitation of the returned disabled soldier. This is its great immediate work. Few people know that the board's original work was that of seeing that the young people of our country have a chance to be trained each in the useful employment for which he or she is best adapted by inclination and natural ability. That work still goes on by the side of the rehabilitation work. The Smith-Hughes Act, February 23, 1917, provides money to be expended in payment of salaries of teachers of agricultural, trade, industrial and home economics subjects. This money may be paid over annually to each state by the Federal Government provided the state appropriates an equal amount of money, dollar for dollar. In other words, the Federal Government and the State Government "go halves." The law provides for all day schools for pupils of at least fourteen years of age. It also provides for evening schools for persons of at least sixteen years of age, already engaged in some occupation in which they need further rtraining. The Methodist church at Fourteenth street and Garfield avenue will be used to care for families, if there happens to be any suffering from the coal shortage. You need not be a member of the church to take advantage of its warmth. Dr. Gloyne, in making an inspection in one of our schools, found an active case of diphtheria, one of smallpox, and one child infected with cooties. This shows the need of medical inspection in our schools. Already it has been arranged to have dental inspection, through the state legislature, but the importance of medical inspection seems to have been overlooked. Eight prominent physicians have already volunteered their services providing arrangements can be made for this work. The Visiting Nurses' Association has employed Miss Minnie McEvoy as contagious nurse.

Twenty-eighth annual meeting, Wichita, Kansas, December 29, 30 and 31, 1919. "We are expecting you!" M. Willa Dwiggins, President, Kansas City, Kansas, Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, Corresponding Secretary, 2432 Vine street, Kansas City, Mo. Prof. Jos. L. Bowler, chairman Executive Committee, 2413 Goode avenue, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Member: Three centuries—three hundred terrible but expressive years pregnant with the striving of a repressed people—have spent themselves. Therefor it is particularly important that at this point we should pause reflect, and survey hv detailed inquiry the long drear past. For is not an idealized past a refuge and solace of the spirit? Our group, above all, must not lose consciousness of those sacred values which are born with tradition. Some nation, more or less clear and explicit, of our contribution to society, crossed and blurred most assuredly by an ignorant depreciation of our people, is needed as an anchorage for our faith. We live, we struggle, and we fight, but men revile us, because they are blinded by the passion of hate. Baseless charges of every description founded on an imperfect knowledge of us and an inability to perceive our deeper qualities must give place to the unyielding persistence of the type of men who make up the Inter-State Literary Association. Our Association convenes at the St. Paul A. M. E. church, Wichita, Kansas, December 29. 30. 31. We hope to make this session the grandest and largest meeting of our existence, for this is our Tercentennial Celebration. Is this not worthy of your support? Share with us the joys and responsibilities of this venerable institution. The following are the subjects to be used for our celebration—for your papers or addresses. 1. The Advent of Negro. 2. Slavery; Its Sorrows—lesson good or bad. 4. First Reconstruction; Its Advantages; was franchise a mistake? 5. Second Reconstruction; *New Vision of Race. 6. Future; Challenge. The executive committee has planned many innovations. A special essay contest will be held and a prize of $5.00 is offered for the best paper (limit 1000 words) on "Effects of Slavery on the American Colored Man." Manuscripts must be in the hands of the Secretary not later than December 15. Prizes will be offered, as usual for original music, Declamation, Poetry and Oratory. The presidents of the Race Colleges in the Missouri Valley will be present and address the meeting. Rules: Literary Societies, Art Clubs, Church Choirs and other uplift organizations are eligible for representation. Representation consists of three members and three alternates from each society, which may have one member on the program. Papers will be limited to ten minutes.

One thing has never been mentioned in all Governor Allen's strikebreaking efforts: At what price is the coal to be sold the ultimate consumer, and will the usual dealers who have a pull with the fuel administration be allowed from 100 to 300 per cent on single ton lots to consumers? There will be no industrial peace in the United States until such man as the coal operators' trust contains are eliminated from business life. Through some method unknown they control the output of the mines, the prices and even the feul administration. CURED HER FITS Mrs. Paul Gram, residing at 916 Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wisc., recently gave out the following statement: "I had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over 14 years. Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over 10 years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish every one who suffers from this terrible disease would write R. P. N. Lepso, 194 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wise, and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it postpaid, free to any one who writes him."—Adv. 20th CENTURY THIN MODEL WATCH $295 Popular size. Guaranteed perfect time keep.

BURTON Her own story of her remarkable deliverance. New Jersey Chemist offers generous supply of the wonderful remedy free. No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. But Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened: About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and they worked for some time, then I was sent to hospital and there I had for three weeks before I knew I was going to hospital for four weeks. Then my husband took me home. Every year after that I would have several attacks of convulsions. A little two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, I was told by Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy, I was anxious to try anything as I was troubled so severely. I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel a little better, so my husband said to continue a little better, so I was told I never felt better in my life. If this letter will help anybody that has that kind of trouble, I hope they will take your Epileptic Remedy, as I believe it will cure them as it has cured me. I care very truly.

Pastor Holmes preached on "Choose you this day whom you will serve." He as usual explained many great Bible truths, which uplifted his congregation. He closed with these and many things are beyond our understanding, but let us rejoice in the God of our Salvation." The Sunday school and Mission Circle held good meetings; also the B. Y. P. U. At the B. Y. P. U.'s next meeting a poem written especially for them will be rendered in connection with the program. At 8 p. m., the pastor preached from 1st Peter 4:12. "Rejoice that we are partakers of Christ's suffering." It was beautiful and expressive of the World's crises we are undergoing. The collection was amazingly large. It was a real gift, according to the Bible. Not solicited from some one else, but each one gave a dollar or more from his own money. Come to church this Sunday, Dec. 7th, at-11 a. m.
