good Men lost i
BAD MEN SAVED
IChristianity Offers Only Hope—
< All Moral Law Based On
Bible.
Last night was stormy but
a fine meeting resulted and
there was a large rainy night
congregation present. One
hundred and thirty testified to
the saving power of Christ.
Evangelist Burke preached
'another strong sermon on the
theme “Good Men Lost and Bad
'Men. Saved.” His text was tak
’en from Jphn 14:6 “Jesus saith
tmto him, I am the way, the
truth and the life; no man
cometli unt$ the Father, but
by me.”
Put the stress on the promise
1 and on the word “life.”
I Many have lived here in New
port a long time and never en
joyed a day of life. These con
verts will tell you that they
never began to live until they
were converted^ You can al
lways tell if a person has life by
his conversation and actions.
When people began to doubt
the divinity of Christ, what
have you to offer in His place?
Can you Jind anything better
that will lift mankind? When
we see the life that comes and
transforms individuals and na
tions we know there is life that
has power. Jesus said, “I am
the way, the tuth and the
life.”
The moral man says I am a
good man, I am all right. Yet
not this life.

Business Men Offer Ticket.
Hot Springs, Dec. 14.—A !
strong effort is being made ;
among the business men of this |
city to bring out L. E. Sawyer |
and Harry Wescott as candi- |
dates for representatives from ;
this county. Mr. Wescott is ]
the president of the State Fair !
Association and one of the lead- !
ing business men of the city. !
Mr. Sawyer is a member of the !
legal firm of Sawyer and Rector, <
one of the oldest law firms of <
the city.
It is true that the proposition j
started in jest, but serious <
things have been known to de- j
velop from that which was not j
given sober thought at the be- j
ginning, and today, briefly stat- j
3d, the proposition in reference j
to these two able gentlemen is j
simply this: j
Mr. Wescott will run if Mr. {
Sawyer will run, and Mr. Saw- j
yer will run if Mr. Wescott will j
run; also Mr. Wescott won’t \
run with any other one but Mr. {
Sawyer, and Mr. Sawyer won’t \
run with any one but Mr. Wes- <
:ott. j
