they dodged the Issue and refused to
come by giving excuses which were
all lies. Thp first had bought him
some, land and must go and see It.
The idea of an old gup buying land
he had not seen. A ten year 'old boy
would know better than that. The
trouble with that old sinaqr was he
did not want to comtf to the Lord*
. The second one had bought a j olcp
of oxen and said he must go and prove
them—see if they were mates or see
if they would work together. Please
excuse em, I must go and look after
steer yearlings? Lots of you old guys
are loking after yjur steer yearlings
instead of coming to the feast spread
by the Lord.
Then the other poor fool-had mar-
ried him a wife, and so he was just
blowed up. He could not come.
Where In the world is there a woman
who would not gladly go dto a feast,

thp-Lord. There is not a vestige of
trbth in either one of these excuses.
They are Res that the devil provides
every sinner who wants an excuse.
No one need ever make an ex-
cuse. Olye reasons if you have them,
if not, accept the invitation! Besides
these three the evangelist-named/sev-
eral other excuses Men make today
for not accepting Christ.
"I 'em as good as the members of
the church," and so do not need to
have Christ or unite with bis church.
If you are good or geel very good,
you need to examine yourself, for that
is one of tbe devil’s shrewdest means
of leading you Into deeper sin. x,
“Then some say they are not good
enough.” Whfen men talk that way
they are near the margin and be 4as-
llf led to Christ. Another says, "I
can’t stand those old hypocrites in
the church.” Well, you stand them
out in toe world. You have plenty of
them in the lodges and you stay in
the_lodge. Come clean../You know
you-are lying. That’s all to it, old top,
said the preacher.
If you let some old rotten sinner
get between you and God you ac-
knowledge that he is closer to God
than you are. eH would have to be
nearer God than you to get in your
way going to God. Give him the
goby, leap over, fly over, get by any
thing between you and God.
The sermon^ was well received and
his ilustrations were appropriate and
impressive. There were, 23 who re-
sponded to the call at the close of the
sermon. ^
The ordnance of baptism will be
administered at 7 o’clock this even-
ing. Every one invited. Tbe meet-
ing closes tonight at the tent. Be
sure and hear Mr. Crimm on the
“Easy Route to Hell from Weather-
ford.” Come. M. E. tyEAYER.

more than 35,000.000 as a thank-offer-
Irg for the centennial of Methodist
Missions.
Texas is called upon to raise one-
seventh of the total amount. $35,-
000,000, which will be collected in
eight days, beginning May 18, and
Texas Methodists have a special rea-
son for doing their part, because so
many heroic Texans have manned
the outposts' of Methodist missions
as doctors, qurses, teachers and
evangelists.
Go where you will in Africa, Chi-

WORK EXCEED8 IN MAGNITUDE
ANYTHING YET IRECORjDED
IN HI8TORY.
By AMociateo Kress
Washington, May 12.—The war
story of the engineer corps at home
and in France is told officially for the
first time in chapters of the War De-
partments brief history of American
war efforts made public today in ad-
vance sheets. Many of the recorded
accomplishments of the engineers
have been published before as iso-
lated Incidents, but this is tbe first
complete and connected story which
gives an idea of the extraordinary
seope of the duties modern warfare
has 4&id upon engineering troops.
Probably the best illustration of
this so far pk the troops in France
are concerned is the technical organ-
ization of the units of the engineers
which reached the other side. There
were seven regiments and two bat-
talions of railway construction engin-
eers ; • five battalions of for mainten-
ance of railway equipment; four regi-
ments and one battalion to operate
the main American railways in
France; three regiments to operate
light railways and the repair shops;
railway' repair shops; two regiments
end six separate battalions on gen-
eral construction wo/k; two regi-
ments for storage and transportation
engineers supplies; a forestry regi-
ment; a light) railway construction
regiment; a road b(Hiding regiment;
a water supply regiment; a mining
regiment; a quarry regiment; a tech-
nical regiment for srvylng and sound
ranging; thre survey and printing
battalions; an eleotrical and med-
battalU$ns; an electrictal and me-
leal regiment;1 several separate com-
panies to operate cranes; a camou-
flage'service; five inland waterway
companies to operate canal , boats and
the like; five pontoon trains and.pono-
tqon park«; a railway transportation
and store battalions and a search-
light regiment.
Three special units,all composed
men trained n civil life in the United
States for the work they did in France
were in addition to the fighting men
with each division, the sappers, they
formed about eight per cent of all the
combat troops in France.
One section of the report is devob-
railways in France and to the pro-
ed to the development of American
duction of railway equipment in the
United States to meet the call from
the fronts There were shipped to
France 1,303 locomotives before the
armistice was signed of which 908
where in the service at the time. An
additional 18,313 freight cars were
shipped abroad, both engines and cars
having been produced especially for
service in France. There were em-
ployed upon the 937 miles of standard
guage track laid in France by the en-
gineers with the equipment shapped
from this country and the rolling
stock was in addition to great quan-
tities of light railway equipment for
front line work that was also sent
abroad.
Hospital trains were obtained in
England, 19 of tbem with a total of
304 cars having been completed by
December, 1918 with 26 additiontl
cost more than 318,000 per can, but it
is estimated that to have produced
them in the United States and ship-
ped would have cost 340,000 per car.
The report lays stress on the _fact
that great progress was made during
the war in toe develbpment of road-
building, railway and other engin-
eering equipment wjilch will be of
value commercially in peace times.
"The day has come,” the report
says, ‘when the traveling enachine
shop will be a familiar sight (ipon the
rural highways.”
Among the,, motorized shops created
were the photographic press trucks,
which were able to produce maps from
original sketches within 12 hours as
compared with' four days required
by similar French and British units.
A special chapter Js devoted to lis-
tening instruments developed during
tbe war to locate hidden guns. Im-
proving upon allied designs, the en-
gineer corps produced machines for
this purpose which operated) witl
“uncanny acctwacy,’’ one of them
having spotted 117 German gun posi-
tions in a single day. Subsequently
these were followed by Instruments
of even greater power and at the close
of the war there were twelve complete
outfits, each covering a five mile
stretch of front, at work on the Amer-
ican lines.
Similar developments ot instru-
ments for locating hostile airplanes
Wen carried out until it was possible
to determine tbe location of a raider
at night" within .an angle of three de-
The American types produced
were easily portable and quickly set
to aid the searchlights. A hint

itary scientists and others cooperat-
ing with them were working on a
sound ranging apparatus intended to
give troops warning of shell fire 'by
the enemy in their direction. The
preliminary experiments .found that
at 4.1 miles these mechahisms could
detect, the firing "of the gun as long
as 19 seconds before the shell arrived,
thus ’ enabling troops to get under
cover. Such a development was pas-
sible because of the far greater speed
with which earth vibrations travel
than those of sound in the air. .
“Except for lack of time in the brief
seconds between the firing of the gun
and tbe arrival of the shell, it would
be quite possible with this proposed
apparatus to calculate almost exactly
where the shell would land.”
The corps produced also a new
form of searchlight more powerful
than any that bad preceded it in any
way and with which the seconds field
army had been partially equipped.
"It weighed," the report says, “one-
eighth as much as lights of former de-
sign, cost only one-third as much, was
about one-fourth as large in bulk and
threw a light 10 per cent stronger
than any other portable projector in
existence.”
Tbe engineers were at work when
the fighting ended upon a mechanism
which would enable them to control
searchlights from a distance.
The chapter devoted to the work
of the Engineer Corps in France
drew a vivid picture of the duties
of the combat engineers who played
their full part in the fighting from
the beginning to tbe end. It also tells
in detail of the building 6f the rail-
ways; the catting down of France
forrests to convert them into btyxacks
for American troops; of the miles of
highways built and constantly rebuilt
as sbeii fire tore them to pieces; of
cement mills taken over In France
by American troops to provide trench
materials; of the great map printing
plant where the engineers finally
were able to produce all maps need-
ed for the American army and also
supplied the French Seventh and
Eighth army with mase maps for the
fronts. In this huge plant at Langres
in November over' 1,900,000 litho-
graphic prints were made and ove* a
million' sheets of type work done.
There Is told also toe story of a
camouflage factory at ' Dijon where
material to blind enemy airplanes’
eyes and to confuse the pickets of the
enemy was turned out in vast quant-
ities.
"Utlfizing and applying the new
knowledge and scientific achievement
ot recent years," the report says in
concluding that portion devoted to the
engineers, "drawing upon the fund of
experience acquired by the regular
army in its theortica( studies and
past wars, making available top vast
amount of teebntcal skill which has
assisted this nation to its present
commercial and industral status, toe
in magnitude exceeds any similar un-
worked and fought, planned, and ac-
complished in France a. work which
years ago f getting a canning book
.dertaking recorded In American
history- /
From base port to first waves of an
assault upon the enemy's positions,
engineer troops have been constantly
in action first to last and have ‘car
ried on* always With toe high ideals
ot the profession and with the motto
of the corps ot the engineers’ Essay-
ona' before them."
