REVIVAL MEETING
™CN LAST NIGHT WITH A RE-
fJJnsCENT SERMON BY REV.
j, J. LOCKHART.
b YEARS AGO, HE WAS HERE
Siring Lasting Influenoe to Then
Struggling Small Congregation,
Realized Subsequently.
I BY J. F. CHRISTIAN.)
Evangelist J. J. Lockhart arrived
|n the city yesterday afternoon and
L t[,e evening preached his first ser-
mon in the revival services now in
frogress at the Christian church.
Commemorates an Anniversary
Nineteen years ago last Thursday
Rev. Lockhart preached the first ser-
uon in a very successful revival meet
lag for this church at this place, but
kinder tar different conditions. At
(that time there was only a few scat-
tered members of this Christian body
In Temple and he was undertaking
|the organization of a congregation,
■in this he was very successful, plac-
ing them upon a solid footing and
■their progress forward has been con-
Itinuous from then until now, when
Ittie congregation numbers third in
I point of membership of church or-
ganizations in this cityr~
There was witnessed a very touch-
ling scene at the close of the services
[when Rev. Lockhart's former co-work
lersand converts crowded around him
[to welcome him to Temple after his
[lV years absence, in which time he
devoted himself continuously to
[evangelistic work, and with marked
[success.
His address was almost wholly de-
[ voted to the importance of personal
[work by the church members. He
I said In part: That If the world is
lever converted it will not be by the
hrest sumons from the ptlfpit btit try
Ithe little sermons preached in private
ibr church workers to the unsaved.
I'njree things are neecssary in a re-
Irival: First, prayer; second, prayer;
[third prayer; and unless we make
[our prayers unceasing to our heav-
[enly Father, our labors will be in
I tain.

Temple, Texas
to save souls,, he said. Christ has no
means to save souls except the church
that He brought big members topeth
er In a church for to save soul*.
Rev. Lockhart dwelt at length up-
on the Influence possessed by a mem-
ber of a family over their loved ones
not in Christ and the duty they owe
to them, to try to bring them to
Christ. He told of Ood's great bless-
ing for thoae who led others to Jesus
and, on the other tand, God doesn't
give His blessings to the barren.
That Christ never cursed but one
thing and that was the barren fig
tree. »
He urged upon his audience that,
like the prophet of old who stood up
before his people and proclaimed
"that as for he and his household
they would serve God.", they should
stand up before the world and pro-
claim by their works that they are
followers of Christ.
Splendid Pulpit Delivery.
Rev. Lockhart indicates great pul-
pit ability. He delivered his sermon
in an interesting and convincing
manner which promises interesting
sermqns throughout the entire meet-
ing.
Today's Service*.
Tonight his subject, "Bringing
People to Christ" should be of spe-
cial Interest to all Christian workers
and they will be amply repair for
their time in listening to this address
This morning at 10 o'clock Rev.
Lockhart will preach, and at 7:45
o'clock tonight.
This schedule of services will be
continued until further notice

San Antonio, Sept. 21.—it is un-
officially stated this afternoon that
officials of the I. & G. N. railroad at-
tribute the cause of the two wrecks
recently near Kyle and San Marcos
on their tracks to one of the Mexi-
can section hands recently discharg-
ed . It is believed that the Mexican
pulled spikes which caused the'rails
to spread when the passenger trains
struck them.
— It stems that the.i»iltaj;(Lc(j»iU)any
some weeks ago reduced the wage
scale for section work, and as a re-
sult several of the hands complain-
ed and were dismissed.
The tracks are jpow under special
patrols between Kyle and San Mar-

Rhinelander, Wis., Sept. 21.—Ga-
gen and Woodboro were destroyed by
forest fires yesterday. The fire start-
ed in the woods yesterday morning
and quickly reached Gagen and Wood
boro. Men, women and children
fought valiantly to save their homes,
but without avail. Gagen and Wood-
boro each had about 2,000 inhabi-
tants, and nearly all are homeless.
Citizens have decided to ask Gov-
ernor Davidson to order out 'the state
militia to assist in fighting the fiire,
which because of the dry condition of
the woods, threaten to destroy the
forest.
It is feared the wind may again
shift and the mayor and chief of po-
lice believe the danger to Rhinelan-
der is not yet over.
Hundreds of men have gone from
this city to fight the flames, but re-
ports received from those returning
say they have made little progress
against the fire.

It is stated that within the next
ten days, three of last year's class-
men will have resumed their studies,
and all of these are considered splen-
did material for a football team.
There are. moreover, two candidates
who are still strenuously trying for
places as quarterback, and if later
it is found the eleven can be stren-
gthened by changes here and there
in the line-up. these will be made.

tance.

in this matter, each contributing $5
to the fund. .
It
stated that when the on-
slaught downtown is made this af-
ternoon, the bunch will be found pos-
sessing the "rush" of a Kansas cy-

Dr. A. C. Scott, chief suregon of

nounced yesterday that the building
committee of the Santa Fe rallrtf&d
hospital association will this after-
noon meet with the architects, Mess-
rs. Sangulnett & Statts, at the new
hospital building here, for the pur-
pose of making a thoro Inspection of

T
AS QUARANTINE LAWS
El Paso, Sept. 21.—It became
known here today that capitalists are
working on what is believed to be a
scheme to evade the Texas quaran-
tine laws at this point. They propose
building a railroad beginning at
Juarez, Mexico, just across the river
from here, to follow the Rio Grande
to the Southern border line of New
Mexico, where the tracks will be
thrown into that Stafe.
It is understood the Mexican Cen-
tral railroad has'agreed to cut their
trains in two at Juarez, d^Mverlng
such passengers as desire entrance itt
to Texas without submitting to th^
quarantine examinations and exac-
tions to the new railroad when com-
pleted. The purpose then islo get
them into this State from New Mex-
ico, probably over the Santa Fe rail-
road with which it is proposed to
have the new line make junction.
Chicago, Sept 5U..-'-Stories to the
effect that there have been or is to
be changes in the management of the
Republican national campaign appear
to be without the slightest founda-
tion. The Associated Press caused
inquiries to be made at every place
that could be expected to supply re-
liable information on the subject,and
it was declared that the campaign is
being conducted along lines origin-
ally planned and the program will
be continued without interruption.
Apparently the story that there will
be a change in the management of
the campaign, and that Chairman
Hitchcock will be subordinated in
authority, originated from an an-
nouncement that Senator Crane was
to visit western headquarters in this
city. Chairma nHitchcock arrived
in Chicago today and went to the
Auditorium Annex, where he met a
number of men identified w|th the
western campaign.

CRAWFORD JEWELRY GO
Fine Repairing
The least expensive way to repair
an article of jewelry is not always
the cheapest. Sometimes a set may
lose out of a ring which might be
replaced at a trifling cost, but this
new set may also lose oik and then
you decide that the ring isn't worth
repairing again and it is thrown as-
ide. Probably the cause of the trou-
ble- is a defective or broken mount-
ing. By replacing broken claws or
adding a new setting at a little more
expense, the ring could be made as
good as new.
We always explain these little
points to our customers and advise
the best methods of repairing, and
make the lowest possible charge for
perfect work.
