As he was seated i- along the large lake at Winona. Ind., Rev. Stoetzer recalled how the beautiful lilies grew out of the oily, nasty ' scum. He became impressed with the g idea that God some time sends forth those from the very mire and filth of i- the earth and they far surpass our a standing. His spirit is power, life b and beauty and He can reach down and transform one. A colored man washing cuspidores in Washington, D.C., appeared to be in the best of spirits despite the mental work that he was placed at. His words were, "I sing 'cause I's happy; I sing 'cause I's free; His eye is on the sparrow and I know His eye's on me." He pointed out how this colored man was grateful for the fact that he was a free and happy man. He showed how Peter, a vacillating character, was made the rock upon which the Lord built His church. He showed how Saul of Tarsus, a murderer, was transformed into an earnest disciple. Do not quibble about the matter, but emit sunshine in your daily travels. In closing, he urged those unsaved not to wait until tomorrow. For tomorrow, a man is no bigger, no stronger, has no more faculties or more senses than he has today. From the beginning, he shut himself up in a room and his friends knew he was Terra Alta the man ill with tuberculosis. He is on whose behalf an appeal was made to the public. All arrangements were made for his stay at that place for a time which it is hoped will entirely cure him. Home from Pittsburgh? Dr. J. Broomfield returned this morning from Pittsburgh where he had attended the "Forward Movement" convention of the denomination at which campaign to raise one million dollars for missions was launched. Recovering from Florida? John Gill, of the Consolidation Coal company, who has been ill with influenza for the past two weeks, returned home this morning. At his home in Gaston avenue, is improving. Grafton Visitor?Mrs. B. Z. Holver statt of Grafton was a recent visitor ii this city of Mrs. F. H. Carpenter o Auburn street. CONVERT MADE (Continued from pase one.) suddenly a sweet voice rang out froi the gallery. It was not by pre arrangement, but whoever happene to carry the air was supposed to carr It through. Prof. James Heato again rendered as a solo "He Died c a Broken Heart." The chorus san "Wounded for Our Transgressions. Rev. C. D. Mitchell, D. D., pastor o Lhe Central Christian church, offere prayer. Rev. R. J. Yoak, pastor o the Methodist Episcopal churcl: 3outh, read the scripture lesson. The Ladies' Missionary Union wil attend the services tonight. It is ex pected that between 250 and 30 Moose will attend the services tomor row night. The Maccabees will at tend church services on Friday even Ing. On Sunday afternon the Roose velt memorial service will be held. The text was found in St. Matthes xxi, 28: "Son, go work today in m vineyard." In opening Dr. Stoetze developed the fact that who, what where and when involve great intei rogatives. He stated that simpllcit was always an important factor. Th three qualities of greatness, he d< dared were simplicity, sincerity an service. "My son" implies a chal lenge from God for all of us. He re lated a fable of a young lady who de sired to have three certain things tha were on top of a high mountain. The were a talking bird that could rea son; a tree from which music wafte and the waters of a certain fountair The story runs to the effect that afte numerous people tried to obtain th 1 a I. ? l.ill.J 1 ...11 J I .1. Suai, uiey were muni ueanu serpents or demons. Finally after he lover fell, she made the effort herself. After stuffing her ears with cotton, she climbed the precipitous mountain side, unretarded by the roaring of the wild animals or demons, and surmised all the obstacles that she encountered. After she reached the desired spot and saw the objects she sought, behold the springling of water from the fountain upon the stone developed life, and her lover and others came back to life. Even from myths we can glean meaning. There is a charm of general sense about myths. God is calling up to the mountains. We must dim over the stones and conquer the demons in our rear. He gives us wonderful power to overcome obstacles and squelch demons. God is calling for men and women. "Go and serve the Lord," he urged, adding, "go play the man," which he said was not a slang phrase, but was found in holy writ itself. His wisdom beckon unto men. God, the personification of wisdom, is calling to you and to me. He traced the Latin and Greek mythology a profound study of the mind in this region, and therefore cannot judge. He urged a more charitable attitude toward a mankind. This was the big thought of this particular sermon?that mental troubles were not as apparent as those of decrepit body. At this juncture, Rev. Stoetzer told what the influence of an innocent baby can have over adults. In passing, he cited a local example of what the baby was an exponent of sunshine itself. The radiating sunshine did poll the doubt, anxieties, enmities, vices, and meanness. God used little children to radiate sunshine. They are helpers of the truth. He referred to the theology of Billy Sunday that spells help. Recently he received a visit to a home where the angel of death had come and struck one of the members. He said he was much impressed with how the deceased had been dubbed "a handy man around the church." Although he had been a superintendent of the Sunday school and held other offices in the church, he was a bandy man? It's a poor wishy-washy, molly-coddle indeed that goes through life that does not transform the dead things in his midst into life. Nature is continually changing in the book of Daniel reference made that "people who do know the God shall do." He explained the literal meaning of this phrase, which means in the Hebrew derivation, people who grip their God. Too many of us have an imaginary view of God. He is not real and close to us as he should be. He defined the real meaning of helpers in the Bible. In the earlier times, a helper was one who could hurl stones or shoot arrows. Frequently, it takes a carload of men to make one courageous Christian, he declared. He was particularly impressed with the reference to being "clothed in the spirit of God." Other places reference is made to the helpers of joy. He flayed those persons afflicted with grouchiness, quibbling over misunderstandings and actually believing that they are ruffling some sort of religion by so doing. Some people need joy and lustre more than medicine. He then related how a certain man once said that the most powerful sermon he ever heard preached was one in which the preacher had urged one to bear on another's burdens, with the special interpretation that we must really realize the mental strain some people suffer with. We sympathize with the humbled back man and the short-legged boy because their afflictions are visible, but we do not realize fully what mental strain some people have been troubled. We have not access to the sinking service last evening was just as usual; there has not been a single evening when many voices have not joined in. The attendance last night was good; most of the church well filled. The choir was not quite as large and occupied but one section. Many sympathetic songs rendered during the beginning of the meeting brought an additional number of hearts to that state of fertility which makes a sermon easy to sow. Tonight is school night and a section will be reserved for the seventh, eighth, and high school boys and girls. Thursday is society night and all members of any church society are especially invited to occupy a reserved section. Friday will be railroad night and it is many railroad men are expected. Prof. Heaton's Next Jump to Florida While the interest will govern the length of the present revival services, it is generally believed that they will come to a close by Sunday night and certainly not later than the middle of the week. Prof. James Heaton, who leads the singing at First M. H. church, has been engaged to lead the singing at a big Bible conference at St. Augustine, Fla., beginning February 23. From there he will go to tramps, Fla., for special services beginning February 4. After the Tampa meeting Prof. Heaton will return to West Virginia, leading the singing at Logan, W. Va. going to decide the matter once for all. After awhile he came out and this was his decision: "I will not be a Christian. I shall not change my ways." This man is now quite old and from that moment to this he has never again had a single moment when he was tempted to give his heart to God. That heart is as cold as stone! When one trifles with the spirit of Jesus, the spirit is driven away? Sometimes forever. Chances are growing less each year. Accept Christ before it is. too late. Rev. Wells asked how many had given their hearts to God before the age of 20. Many people raised their hands. He asked that those who were converted after the age of 40 raised their hands. Only six or seven hands went up. "That's what it means to trifle with God!" said Rev. Wells. In this manner did the preacher last night bring home an indisputable argument. There was a silence quite unmistakable for several moments. Some serious thinking was going on. Moral retribution: If we go to death without repentance: there is sure to be moral retribution. We can't escape punishment in this life as many do but we can't escape the answering for our sins in the next world. We must account to God for the deeds done here in the body and there is no possible escape under the shining sun! God could not be God without being just. But through faith in Jesus Christ before it is too late, we can climb up into the Father's arms and be carried to realms of eternal glory. In the face of the facts, remembering that Jesus Christ died for us, shall we continue to live down in the cellars of merely human things when we might be living in the high realms of the spirit? Rev. Wells at this crucial moment in his sermon wanted very much to bring home, so that the human mind might comprehend, what it meant to give a life for another. Very often it is easier to understand a sacrificial death when it comes within one's own living. He told a story about a young girl caught in the attic of her home during one of the floods. The child was alone except for three young sisters who had been left in her care. She saw the water rising higher and higher and knew that soon it would go above the roof of the house. There was only one thing she could think of, to do and that was to place the child in a box she found which she was sure would float. She opened the door and the child was gone. Window and after cautioning the little ones to hold on tight and not upset the box, she pushed them away as far as she could. She knew there was no room for her with them, and very gladly she gave her life that three others might live. When her parents returned after the floods had subsided, they found their oldest daughter dead. The three sisters were safe, caught in some brush nearby. "Jesus Christ also gave His life," that many more might live. MINE WEARS BUSY They Are Holding Meetings Throughout the Fairmont Field.

Optimistic View, operators at the William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, At a recent meeting of 100 operators at the William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, the opinion was shared that there was an optimistic slant to the coal business. They represented the Northwestern District of Pennsylvania, which includes Butler, Mercer, Armstrong, Clarion, Indiana, a part of Allegheny, Westmoreland and Jefferson counties. The district is at a disadvantage as compared with the Pittsburgh district, the thin vein coal which it produces being regarded as inferior for every purpose except the production of steam. Switched the Date. In order to have J. D. A. Morrow, secretary of the National Coal Association, present at the annual meeting of the Northern West Virginia Operators' Association, the date has been switched to February 12 instead of February 11; Among those who will attend are P.

A O. eastern lines. Sending Out Letters. As previously announced, after their resignations as this work will cease to function after March 1. Differential Abolished. The differential of fifteen cents a ton on coal shipped from Monongahela county over the Monongahela and the Baltimore and Ohio railways has been abolished and hereafter coal shippers on the Monongahela will secure the benefit of what is known as the Fairmont rate. Heretofore, because of the difference of fifteen cents a ton, operations On the Monongahela have been at a disadvantage.

WHEN YOU CAN BUY AT $3.00? $3.50 That we are the originators and leasers of WASHING TO GOSSIP? WASHINGTON, D.C. Feb 5? In the Senate, the bill is strong on Capitol Hill that the Sixty-sixth Congress will be called in extra session, and that the coming will be in May. It will not be called by the President because he grants a Congress on his brains before December 1919, the date it must meet anyhow, but because he will have to call it. There will be other needs, but the need of money will be paramount. Some of the appropriation bills now pending are of going to get through by the time this Congress adjourns. A well-known fact, it is that this administration, in its function without money, and methods of it. Its outstanding characteristic is its exceptional talent for evading high taxes and knocking the bung out of the Federal Treasury. Politically, there is a difference of opinion whether or not the President will cheerfully convene a Republican congress. Some of the National state-lists say that he may look upon the matter as a ripe opportunity to put the opposition party in the hole; that as a politician he is a proven slicker, and putting the Republicans in the hole, would be an asset to the President's party in the 1920 presidential campaign. Writing. If there is a chance of that, they say, the President will go to it with more or less glee. The Republican leaders declare that they will welcome the day, admitting, however, that as big problems as ever were put up to a Congress will be shoved up to the Sixty-sixth for solution; admitting, too, that the need of stronger party unity "in Congress to solve them as great." After all, to get more money to spend is the real reason accepted, by the hard heads why an extra session is sure to be summoned. Whether Floor Leader Mann will get any votes out of the West Virginia delegation will depend on expenditure. That is the way it looks to an outsider. If, when the candidates breast the tape, Man looks like a winner, then there will be a lot of unenthuastic votes cast for him by members from all the States, who do not care to sit in a House presided over by Dan, knowing that they didn't vote to hand him the gravel and worst of ill-knowing that he "know it. That I will give a hint to the reader of the free sport. As it was a general landlide, he doesn't feel lonely among the large flock of Democratic lame ducks rabbling about the country. He was busy in France with military business and when news of his defeat reached him it was but an incident in his busy life. It can be said for Col. Watson that mixing it up in politics, he was genuinely enjoyed, and as a humanizing experience it's salutary effects are mainly noticeable. He wasn't his friends say a mixer, and it was an accomplishment we have their word for it, that this big captain of industry and dominant figure in high finance, rather than credited, however (quoting the same authority) he is getting there. His experience is  slightest idea of retiring and giving up, was the national anthem of all defeated politicians. Senator Sutherland and Representative Geo. M. Bowers went to Marwiffliffburg Monday evening where they spoke before a mass meeting called for the purpose of launching a scheme to raise $25,000 to free the local Y. C. A. property from debt. The meeting was a large and successful one; Mr. M. W. Yatds, of Suntin, who recently landed in this country from France, spent Monday in the Capital before taking train for home. He was a visitor at Congressman Woodyard's office. introduced a bill to grant an increase of pension to William J. Van Hoes. He also took up with the Pension Bureau officials yesterday the application for a pension filed recently for him for and in behalf of Mrs. Hett Freedland, of Fairmont. Coal Co., of Morgan town, is a visitor to the government. He is a member of the House. See it, They do not ascribe to him the bigness of forgiveness which goes with broad and able leadership. Here is still another hint: What's the matter with Man's candidacy? It is this, said an influential and sagacious representative today. There isn't a man in the House who professes to be for him who would say, "I'll stick to Jim Mann till..." Reezes over; I am for him first, last and all the time." When a candidate, isn't muster any enthusiastic support, like that, any politician will tell you that its due to loose. In these few words, the reader has what's the matter with the Mann candidacy, which now very plainly appears to be in a state of collapse. Nobody knows, but a lot of them are guessing what Col. Clarence W. Watson's political silences are for the future. The Colonel is back in Washington, a state of affairs, looking none the worse or worse, and taking his defeat like a veteran. When one of the show, showing his strength, one of the show's most, showing his strength.
