"Brother" Brown from Arkshsss
esped from bed yesterday morning
i proud and happy man. He ssld so
n fact
Thoroughly rested from his strenu-
oui opening battle with fha devil
he was grinning whan be called at the
Morning Times office In the afternoon
to thank "the boys" for the manner
in which bis first service was "put
qver."
"How do yon like EI Pasoans?" be
Was asked.
He didn't herniate one bit
"Fine." was the reply.
Ha had many reasons for making;
that reply. Id the first place. El Paso
has opened fta arms so him.
Tea "Brother Brown from Arkan-
sas fs off for a fair race. And he's
going to come down the stretch with
a lead that El Paso's old devil can't
possibly overcome. He got the Jump
oo the run in fart.
The evangelist was apparently In tha
best of Jksattb yesterday afternoon al-
though a lone ride on -the train not
including-a strenuous everting sermon
would put the "a. O J' on tha
strongest average man.
It may have been that some of the
hundreds who swarmed In and about
the tabernacle last night went there
to scoff. But even If they did. It
ll a safe bet they found something
to think and talk about. They were
even talking yesterday and one way
or another their intercut In the Bible
has been revived which is the par-
póse of revival meetings.

Keep Away From the Juniper Tree
of Despondency Warns Evangelist
"trader the Juniper Tree' was toe
subject of "Brother" Brown "s ad-
dress last night. "Boned down' It
reads as follows:
History Is marked by comparatively
fev great men whew stand out like
the pyramids of Egypt In the great
flat plains or human life. Bible his-
tory contains the aame phenomenon
and of all tha thousands mentioned a
few stand out In bold relief sad ara
the main s tor lea to our children
around the fireside and become tha
life studies of the adult man.
One dominant nota colors a cloud
in music and forms the motif for a
whole opera
One dominant note colora a chant
man on a pinnacle front which tuna
wth Its dust nor adversity with its'
storms will never dethrone him.
Moses stands supreme with the tilla
of the meekest or men and at the
same time the most determined.
Ramon grew long hair aa the alga
or bis Rasante vow aad also de-
veloped muscles that made htm fs
nous and enabled him to commit
suicida ra a spectacular way.
soul was the tallest of kings and
about the smallest in vision of bis
opportunities. Saul stands aa the
world's monumental failure.
Joshua was the greatest general ;
Elijah the most perfect man and la
also a synonym of fslth and daring.
Deacaiaea a Wlaater.
No man should be iudsed by a
single act or his Ufa lis the straight
cord that runs throogb the entire
cable or bis .lira that marks him.
Also every man has his dsy on the
mountain top and day In the valley:
one seams an open heaven and tha
other an open hell but the winner la
the mtn who will persist in the rare
of difficulties and strike till "the
last foul foa espires "
A couple of frogs once fell In a
pail or cream. One was a Methodist
frog and aald "I can't make It good-
bye" and sank under the while tide.
The other frog was of Baptist per-
suasion and said. "I am bound to
keep on trying for I don't believe
In backsliding" so ha kicked aU night
and In the morning was sitting on two
pounds of butter.
Butter awaits the man who refuses
to be downed and keepa nta bead to-
ward surceas.
Elijah knew these tremes. One
day be stood the most dramatic
figure In history praying on tha
mountain top alone in opposition to
four hundred priests who ware
backed by a kingdom. He saw the
heavens opened In answer to Ms
prayer llres descend and rain fell
on a land that bad aeen a drouth for
years. It was a time for any man
to stand on the mountain lop with
bis chest swelling at such aa answer
from Jehovah.
The-nesi day we get a tableau of
this same Elijah. He la now far down
In i valley under a Juniper tree
and praying the Lord to take him
away. One woman had punctured all
hla inflation. If he had any. an t he
was getting as far and aa rest from
tha mountain aa he knew bow.
His only Interest for the time was
to get out of sight or the queen.
ntseoursffeanent had gripped him;
that winged vulture that swings on
the juniper tree and watte to eat
out our eyes of faith aad heart of
hope. Evidently success does not
carry with it immunity from dark
Lour. Also. It Is to be noted thai
our darkest hours may come on the
beau of our brightest victories.
n was after the baptism and the
open heaven that Jesus went into the
wilderness for forty days as etssaaV

patsssis win make no mistake: He
who ataras tha sparrow's 'all wiu

ether for good for those who love
the Lord.'
It Is well to Quote the whole or that
promise because the key to tha whole
thing lies in tha last words.
Psul said: "1 take Joy in my great-
est affliction." I believe Paul meant
exactly what be aahl. He laughed at
shipwreck whipping posts. Jails and
persecution and all the time grew
bigger until he atands for twenty
centuries like a cedar or Lebanon
beside a sunflower. He had come to
understand that be was working on
God's plan and all he bad to do was
to put In his licks where God put
hint and trust God to piece the thing
hi pi bar athsst it was done .
Keep sway from the Juniper trees
because history has demonstrated that
no man can Judge of the greatness of
hla work by the visible local signs.
Don't gat things wrong and fore-
most wealth or social position with
men is the other end or life. Better
have a good social standing with Ood
than with the "400" or Hew York or
Washington.
One boy la cf more Importance than
the setting of the continent. It Is not
what you do to be seen or men that
counts hut what you do in the souls
or men.
The mart who works beside you Is
not the one who will Judge your
work in Its finality and when yon
understand that Ood will handle all
- that keep away rrom the Juniper tree
and work on your mountain top Job

Tha Lord once asked the devil If ha
had noticed Job. There ware thou-
sands of men lo that land but tha
devil couldn't sleep nights for watch-
ing Job.
Ood didn't have to ask twice about
him. Job waa a well-known character
to the derlL
. The devil attributed Job's strong
character to the wrong place of
course and Job bad A season of Junl-

If the eoflf service at tha- tabernacle
Sunday nlrht was a "musical feast tha
second nlrht'a musical contribution to
tha revival services proved a veritable
musical "bsnquiM." Hr. Stover Mra.
Stover tha choir . and the entire audience
ludulred In a hair-hour or stnglnr. which
surpassed anything of the son previously
beard.
Mr. Stover proved his tact aa a stnrinr
leader in piuinr one section of the audi
anea against the other.
"Brighten the corner Where You Are"
again proved the most popular number on
tha song program and Its verses and
chorus ware sung repeatedly by various
divisions or tha audience In response to
tha call of tha leader.
Aa Immense cheer arose when the dor-
an bt so ministers on tha ptstforin re-
sponded to a request to slnr tha chorus
of the song.
When tha Press Felled.
Mr. Stover called on the "married peo-
ple" to stag verses and then called oa
the "unmarried" ones to repeat ibe ner-
rormanre. When he r squealed all who
"want h get taerriod" to elng strangely
the only response be received wss from
a bevy of youngsters In short pants who
ware sitting in rront of tha speaker's
stand on the sawdust.
The only place Mr. Stover "fell down
on his "singing requests" whs when be
asked the orcupents or the press boa to
Slog the chorus or the song "Brighten Up
the Comer Where You Are." Aa there
ware only two reporters In the. pretw
stand they naturally failed to give a
duel In response to the lesder's demand.
As the first principle or a reporter Is
never to "fall down" on an assignment
