FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE Pastor Addresses Congregation on the 8ubjeet of "Giving Earnest Heed" at Sunday 8erv!ces. "Giving Earnest Heed" was the sub ject discussed in the sermon Friday evening in the revival services of the first Methodist Protestant church. The duty of giving heed to the gospel was argued by Rev. EX LeRoy Steffey, because of the proneness of men to neglect the great salvation. He said: "Our besetting danger Is that we al low ourselves to glide along with the multitude down the .swift current of worldlness and indifference. This is due to the fact that we are prone to presumption. The want of lieedfulness on the part of professing believers is a great evil of our time. Well might God say of us as He said of the Israel ites, 'My people doth not consider.' "The motive to heedfulness is to be found in the lollowlng* viz. the great ness of the gospel message the dig nity of the first preacher, Jesus Christ the attestation which the gos pel received and the inevitable doom of those who neglect it. The gospel proclaims the love of God, offers par don for the sinner, breathes a new Jife into the soul, rescues from the despotism of sin, and promises a glor ious immortality to him who accepts it. The salvation spoken of in the text Is gTeat because it cost the obed ience, suffering, and death of Jesus and costs still the pleadings and striv ings of the spirit. It is great on ac count of what it does for a man. Cer tain and dreadful is the ruin of all who reject the message of mercy spoken by the lips of the Lord Himself. 'He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three wit nesses of how much sorer punish ment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace?' Escape from such is plainly impossible. If we are not aroused by the motives set forth to accept th*j 'great salvation' God can do no more for us." To Continue This Week. The revival will continue throughout all of the week. the service beginning each evening at 7:30. The Sunday services will he as follows: Sunday school at 9:30 a. m. Christian En deavor prayer meeting at 6:30 p. m. preaching at 10:45 a. m. and 7:30 o. m. Subject of morning sermon: "A Divine Leader." Evening sermon: "Anxious Concern for Young People."' There will be a meeting for men in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. All men of'the city are cordially invited. The pastor will speak to the men on the subject: "Man's Need of a Hiding rlace."

Neil O'Brien with his great American minstrel at the Grand Opera House Wednesday nibht, Nov. 14. .'La VjSS5* 4 ORCHESTRA WILL PLAY Forty Per Cent of Show Receipts to go to High School Or ganization—December 3 Is the Date. There will be a considerable change in the program at tho next monthly meeting of the iveokuk Retailers' league. The committee that met Frl day afternoon to make arrangements for the December meeting of tho body, uncovered a bag of tricks that will make the gathering on the evening of December 3 one of the most interest ing and most helpful for all concern ed, that has ever been held. The committee, which is composed of Emile Renaud, chairman, Jacob Schouten, Louis E. Klein and George Schell, decided to have the regular banquet at the Syngel Cafe at 7:00 o'clock. Mr. Syngel is one of the new members of the league. After the banquet and business meeting, the retailers will take in a local show. This is not significant In itself but the fact that the Keokuk high school orchestra of twenty-seven pieces is to play at the show on that evening, is. Forty per cent of the receipts of the evening will go to the or chestra, which the league haa promised to help. The high school and the retailers from now on will boost the show so that a good amount will be realized. Either the Hippodrome or the Orph eum will be selected. The negotia tions, however, have not been closed as yet. The orchestra is to play at all three shows and the retailers are to attend the 9 o'clock one.

Then came a penalty of five yards. Har vard held. Neville tried a drop kick. It failed and the last spark died. In the same period Wilson got away on a forward pass and dashed half the length of the field over the goal line, but Yale was off side on the play. The WW 1 ball was called back and the cheer jwhich broke from Yale rooters quickly died. After being sent in during the second period, Scovil played a wonder iful game for Yale. He fought every I play to the finish, sometimes struggling and fighting on with five or six Har 'vard men hanging on or clawing at ihim, Scovil stuck it out but a half 'dozen Yale men were hustled to the [side lines after being flattened out as they hurled themselves against tlie 'crimson formations.' As the sun died down and a chill wind swept the field, the ond was awaited only as a. matter of how big tho score would be. The game became a dra.b affair. The hi crowd sat silent.
