SViiFT His Sermons at the Meetings Are Most Excellent Synopsis ol One Dr. Swift, ho is holding nightly ervices in the First Baptist church, is preaching to a full house each evening, And each sentence he says "hits. the mark." The Dr. is a host, not sensational, but logical. The meetings 'will oontinue for another week or so, and our people all of them should hear him. A synopsis of one of bis sermons fol'ows : It is very evident to those who attended the services at the First Baptist church Tuesday night, that he has found bis way into the hearts of the people of Mt Gilead, for a large audi ence greeted him at this, his first evening service. His magnetic personality is sure to attract, and his deep earnestness is sure to impress. To anal) ze his power would be a difficult task,, but among the many things that might be mentioned is his tremendous earnest MM. ,--" Without "Billy Sunday''' slang he d I eg the truth home with sledge ham met blows, which leave a-telling effect Taking the old familiar story as found in the Bible, be finds the central truth at once, and then makes the application to modern life, that the thoughtful man condemns himself and says: "I am the man!" His illustration, always applicable to the truth at hand, and ever making the guilty man cringe un der that bright light. - His sarcasm is ao cleverly used that the roan who Is wounded feels that it is"" he who has wounded himself, and hence stands con damned before himself. ' Bis chief bit at the opening service Tuesday night was in the unique char acterizition of some of the supposedly Christian menandwomenof Mt. Gilead, in the persons of such as Messrs. "Quitter," "Pull Back,"' "Despair," "I.Resign," whici) un Christian gentle men he bombasted till it is hoped they II leave town. ' He paid high tribute to some of our true Christians, such as "Mr. At ten tion," "Mies Ready," " Mrs. Paithful," " Mr. Courageous." The speaker said " Let him who would resign his task to the right party, resign to God and on bis knees, making quite sure his resig nation was accepted by God, lest in the 'Great Assize' he finds he was held re sponsible for the accomplishment of the task. On Wednesday night tbe eavngelist poke on "Moral Lepers," and gave a most stirring message on the leprosy of sin. Last night, the thunderings of the mount were re-echoed when he preached on tha "Ten Commandments." Those Wonderful ten great precepts, upon which all civilization is founded that came to the fathers of Israel shrouded in the clouds of mystery, yet no man has yet dared to attempt single erasure and leave that out of his plan of life without the whole life fabric, came tumbling about his ears sooneror later. That old story of the feast of the great Persian king in whcse palaces had as s em bled the glory of bis kingdom, was tlie basis of his address. The old king was weighed and found wanting, and the scales were brought down to the present day folks. The Ten Commandments were tbe weights: There was no hesitancy upon the pact of the evangelist to show bow and where the beam may be kicked. Ail tha self worshipers and worshipers as the shrine of folly, all the profane talk era and profane livers, all the Sabbath joy riders, all the boobies that scorn . father and mother, all the murderers nd the slayers of hope and happiness, every filthy lust that gratifies itself in in tbe arms of infamy, all plain thieving and subtle deceit, every liar and goasiper and every one who covets that which is not his or goes beyond his means, to boast of that which his neighbor has, came In for respectful treatment in the scales of the Thou Shalt Nots.

Here's our viewpoint: we're in business to increase sales from year to year. To do this requires the confidence of the people. And to get this confidence, truth is essential. We believe that every article we sell, whether it be a collar button or a suit of clothes, is worth every cent we ask for it sometimes more. We want you fo feel the same way after you buy a thing. If you do not feel that way, the greatest favor you can do yourself and us is to bring it back and give us your reasons. We're open to argument and want you to be, too.
