E—— |
CHICAGO, Apr. 10 (P)—A sixty
nine year old revenue act more rigor
ous than the Volstead act has heen
resurrected by prohibition authorities

The old law, paszsed in 1857 provid
-2s that the property upon which illic
it distilling has been done and all
equipment for illegal manufacture can
be declared forfeited to the govein
ment.
It algo provides that the land over

LARGE CROWD TO
MESSAGE STIRRED MANY PEO.
PLE AT REVIVAL SERVICES
LAST NIGHT
To one of the largest congrega--!
tions that have thus far attended
the revival being held at the Metho
dist church, Rev. N. M. Lovein
preached last night on “Winning
the World for Christ,” taking the
lesson from, Mark’s record of the pal
sied man being brought to Christ by
his friends. 3
“If the world is ever saved it will
be brought to Jesus” said the evan
eelist, “for men, as a rule. do not
come without help.”” “The heathen
world has not come, and there are
hundreds of people right here in Cor
dele who aré not saved and ave not
ready to meet God, and they seem in
no hurry to come to Christ.” “We
must go after these” said Mr. Love.
in, “and if those of us who prnfese
to be christians will not go after
them, then pray tell me, who will go
after them?”
IL was a messaoce that stirred and
thrilled the large congregation and
moved them to action, for in le
sponse to an invitation from the
evangalist there were manv to knen!
ot the altar, pledging their best of
forts tolead some one to Jezus
Christ during the meeting. There
was a large number to come forward
for prayer and many who raised
their hands requesting praver for
themselves. It has been a long time
since an audience was moved as this
one was and those in charge of the
meeting are expressing gratification
aver tne interest being manifested
in themselves and their friends.
Mr. Lovein will preach tomorrow
morning at ten o’clock to the Sun
day School students and at 11:30 he
will preach in the church auditorium
and again at 8 o’clock tomorrow
night. The evangelist has signified
his intention of preaching tomorrow
morning on “A Bible Christian.”
