^ I Gipsy | I " ^ itay-gi Gipsy Bpxith made a "touch down" s * Will he many, v many days bffore the Union poople ' forget his message. Re pats his* wbole *soul into his preaching and the man's * earnestness and power have so inu ^pressed the folks that they gather at h 'the Weftkifr several hours before I * service to ,gain admission, so fearful " are they Of faking one sermon. 's Mr. Charles F. Allen directed the choif to singing several old time fav. orites In which the congregation joined and he very pleasantly said, ;/ "Thank you, ladies," but the men were ' not to be let down so easy. He asked that every man who attended the : morning pfcaper service from 9 to 9:80 ' to stand up. While standing they sang "Go Tell tha SltoT^? " ~ v ?> ??/ '?" ??? wa ; so will that 1m had them come to the * front oi the pulpit and sing. It was If you would like a subject we * might, call it "Changing Fashions in Capernaum." The Scripture * is taken from the second chapter of the Gospel of St. Mark, a description Of four men who carried a sick ' friend to Christ that he might be ' hrafod. The two outstanding notes of the ! Gospel Wdre "come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and ' I will give you rest," and "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to dvsry creature." But it seems as if he had left the last command en1 tlrely to an ordained clergy. I think why so many of us do not "go into the world" is because we have no mes* sage to take. The majority of our * church folk today have only a second s 1 hand knowledge of God and of Christ of His promises. I can know ! more of the effect of water to quench 1 my thirst by going to the home ' where I am stopping and putting a * glass under the faucet and taking one drink than by reading on the subject of water for years. 1 can know more of the effect of ftre on my body by striking a match and putting my fin: ger into flam* than I can know by reading on the subject of fire in all A . the libraries of the world. 1 can know } more of the effect of quinine when - ' .1 am tiling a cold from a small dose of ii than I can know b? ronrUnnr \ every medical book which has been : written. And I can know in one moment of giad contact with Jesus L Christ more of His power to save, ' strengthen, heal and forgive than all the preachers rolled into one could ' ' tell me in a thousand years. The rea' son you dan't talk to your fellownien about Christ is that you donw know ' Him. You can talk about the murder J case'1' which the papers are full. - but UlW iaat name on your lips is that ' . < of JSt US- Christ, and the last topic * which you discuss is the redemption < cf this city. My old grandfather, after he had i given his heart to Jesus Christ, could c only read the New Testament as I \ ' ittw'' music?-by position. Ho wiH be . 1 ?0 in May. He came home one night ? digging-a Cespel song which he had ' i just heard at the meeting at which r he had accepted Christ. When he c climbed up the steps into the Gipsy 1 wagon 'his children were afraid of ' him. Calling them to him one at the [ time he' told them, "Dont be afraid. ; God has sent home to you a new fath{ er." And kneeling down he prayed thp God might give to each one of them the same blessed experience. And he went on praying until he had preyed all five of them into the pulpit. One of-them died but the rest , of them are preaching somewhere tonight. What the church of Jesqs m Christ needs today is an experimental knowledge of the power of Jesus Christ. If ever we are going to win our loved ones for Christ it will be , beckon e some one cares and is concerned afcipt them. I don't know what you do in Union when you have an election, but in London wy need to divide the city up into warde, and put a captain in ? -M L 1 Tl I CIUII{V MA HUM VMO> IK WOO UIC l(UI> iness of that captain and those underneath him tp interview every voter in ; that ward, and to find out just how " he stood in respect of their candidate. They would go to the voter's home, ' ? and if he was not there/ they would > go again and again, until they found him. When they saw him they would ' admire the canary in the cage, the sprig of geranium in the window. / They would go out and praise the poultry, and swear that it was the finest strafn they had ever seen; then they would take ' MMiyi on their knees and play with them and kiss ' wfshsai, They wouldn't cars how.dirty h the children were.

Then in men attd ?h womb , in thj* town who will nevef ' end will nerer ty wort for 6hH*t end the church an fs Sermon ^ I fetfhig I This story in the second chapter ol Mark is that of one man who nev? could have got to the Master, ,ant would never have been healed unlesi somebody loved him enough to hav< gone out of the way to bring him tc Christ. I have often imagined what kind of fellows- these four friends ol his were, and sometimes-while thinking of them I have named them. The first man I have called him Mr Love. Me is a great fellow to have in the church, and your church work and your basinesw around the church i& Otllv an mnn>> 1 * - ?? -v *mm unless you nave love. The disciples looked around at the multitude and Mid "rag weed.' Jesus said "harvest." It takes lov< to see. I don't know of any hardei thing under the sun than to try to win a man for Jesus Chrtfet unless you are moved with the same motive thai moved the Master, and Out was compassion. Love sees beyond the exterior. Love looks behind all the ugliness and bitterness of life and sees the soul that Christ came tc save." Here Mr. Smith referred to the experience of some slum workers who rescued a poor fallen girl. She had no place to go, so they sent hei to an old German washerwoman. She was a kind old lady. For days the poor girl was very ill. One day in her partial consciousness she thought that the old lady had kissed her. She wondered if it were true. She thought if it were so that the old woman would do so again. When she came in later with a tray of food the sick girl pretended to be asleep. The old woman sat down the tray, and with one wrinkled hand she smoothed back the girl's hair, then stooped down and kissed her on the lips. The girl opened her eyes and looking up, said "Is God anything like that? If God is like you I can lqve Him." You can't drive people and damn them and hit them, but you can love them to Christ. The greatest devils in hell once had a cpot in them that might have been appealed to by love. The next man at the other corner of the couch, I have called Mr. Faith. He is another big man. You can't dc anything without faith. You remember a great crowd followed Jesus one day through a certain city, and they wondered why He did not do any bic things. Then they followed Him out f W. _ > -1-' " * - ' " me sivy ?iiu uiuukni rte naan i done anything great in our city, and Re had done in other places. But Jesus gave a reason. It wrfb because of their unbelief. Unbelief builds a wall between you and'Christ. Faith is like ? trolley pole. There- is. the wire full of power and the car fuli of people, but the car doesn't move until the pole touches the wire. God is on His throne. He it as all power sufficient to < moVe worlds. We can elaim it by faith, and when we reach 'in the power comes. Here Mr."Smith asked the congregation to listen to a personal experience. He said that sixs weeks after ne was born his mother took him to the old Methodist church, of which she was a members and later on his younger brother* -likewise, and dedicated them to God for the ministry, When he wap 15 years of age, Mr. Smith said he went to his parents and (old them that he wished to go to sea. His mother said, -'Let him go and get it out of his ayetem. He will be ready to come back in a year and go to school again.". He shipped on an old sailing Ship for Australia. But from there they were sent to Japan, then to China and from there to Chile, thence to Hamburg, and to Liverpool. H<> bad been gone two years, and three? months when he returned, and was as big as he is now, and didn't want to go back to school. He remained on the sea for nine years,,and st the end was second officer oh ar Atlantic liner, but his mother told him, "Yon will never do well until yow jet into the ministry." He marriec and obtained a good position in America. But twelve months after he cam* to New York he was converted. Aftei a time he went to a theological seminary to study for the ministry. Upoj his graduation day a Western U^ioz messenger boy handed him a cable gram signed by his mother. He open, ed, and it read: "I told yon ao." That is faith. At the next corner of the couch i| a man I have called Mr. Persistency or should I have called him lljfars. Per sistency? Because it is usually th< women who keep on in the.work o: God. Business men go into the chprcl but they usually leave their brain m the office. If you men would, rui your business as you do the church you would soon go into bankruptcy If you would run your church as ypi do your business you could take, con ttnents and kingdoms for Christ. W< need people who will keep on in th work of Chztat jn spijte of obstpclet in spite of discoragement, to spite o almost failure, men who will hang 01 and refuse to let go. At the oilier corner of the couch w fold Mr. Ingenuity. He found a mj Mr. Ingenuity jumped upon the too and tore up the roof and the four o them let the man down.to be healeic Union county has 60 per cent of he population unchurched.

' This year's Ave day race was 4 fourth annual renewal of the clash of the army remojint world, whk W. R.. Brown, of Berlin* N. H., and-^ W. Harris, of Chicago, ware instxi ' mental in founding. ! Wayne Dinsmore, of Chicagi ' chairman of -the committee in charg ' in an analysis of the winning horse ; commenting on the wide range m \ types that finished in the ribbon ( finds that the variations in the tfc , t nrs was more apparent than raa ( however, being largely dtse to th more upatending carriage of hea and neck in some. All had good withers for the agd die. Mr. Dinsmore. aavs. all war , strong backed and powerfully mat I cled over back *nd loins, all had fai t slope of shoulders and pasterns, goo , feet and well set legs. Vendetta, the first prize winnei , was a thoroughbred; Gladstone, fin . ishing second, a Morgan; Grant, ii , third place, a grade American saddl , horse; Cragmore, fourth, a crotsbre by a thoroughbred stallion out of , : standard-bred trotting mare; Path , finder, fifth, a thoroughbred; an Clonmell, finishing sixth, waB an im , ported Irish hunter, largely thorough . bred in breeding. The first pria winner was a mare, and all the oth | ers geldings. i The most important lesson 1 earns from the endurance tests,, which re I quire the horse, carying 220 pound this year (20 pounds less than il 1920 and 1921 tneets) ; to complet I the 300 miles in five consecutivejdayi Mr. Dinsmore says, is the necessit] for straightgoing action. In . othe words, the horses feet and legsahouli move straight forward, parallel to i line drawn through-the center of hi body, in the direction of travel. An; deviation, tne teats nave reveaiec wastes energy, leads to leg weari ness, and causes the horses to "in terfere" by hitting the fetlocks witj the shoe of the other foot. None of the prize winners wer perfect straightgoers, but their de viation was so slight as to cause i* interference, except in the case c I the first prize winner, and her ride found a way to check the trouble 1 which was due to bad shoeing. > Next to straightness, the judgq ' decided, a low easy gait is most de L sirable, a gait described by horsemey I as "slipping along." This was mos 1 noticeable in Vendetta and .Clonmell Both raised their feet only enough t clear th eg round and both put thai 1 feet down squarely with a, spring; step. High knee and hock action, wit! extreme flash, so much admired an< sought after in horses used as pari hacks, is a distinct disadvantage i was found to Worses forced to under go endurance rides. The judges also found that the ski! of the rider, his seat, hands and fee enter largely in the results. The bee riders rode the entire 300 mite standing up in their stirrups, bal anced so perfectly they never strucl the saddles. "One of the judges,1 ninemnrs anvs "Hpurrihwi thl -r ?v ideal seat when he said of one rider? <you .could glue a fresh laid egg ii the seat of his saddle, and he woul< not break it in a whole day's ride.'1 Long stirrups, and riding straight I up, with spring in ankles and lei I muscles to take all shock of th< rider's weight from the horse char acterize the beet long distance ride re | Chairman Dinsrpore's report sayi | and "pounding the saddle" at a troi I as the park riders do, is precisel; { what must not be done. I Major Louis Beard, commander o the Fort Remount Station, who rod , the first prize twinnpr, said: "I rode the entire distance standin in my stirrups continually in a trc ( and some of the time when at a wail j When trotting I rode 'teetering,' as I were, in my stirrups, endeavoring s all times to keep my center of gravit . a very little ahead of that of th horse, 'instead of pulling my weigh j my mount was endeavoring to oatc up" with it.

In a territory extending approxi * mutely 125 miles north and south anc ' an equai distance east and west along ^ the new Mexican border, strong indications have been found of what ii e perhaps the largest salt bed in the " world. Surveys indicate approxi 0 r.iately 15,000 square miles of prairh ' country underlayed With a bed of rocl r sale that ranges from 40 to 1,50( t feet in thickness.
