SPECIAL SERMON
AT TABERNACLE
THIS EVENING
ilecoverlng fully from tho ef
fects ot the Inclement weather carl
In tho week the revival meeting at
tho tabeniaclu showed the far reach-
ing effects ut Us Influence in thi
large crowd that gathered then for
the sen Ice Friday night. Tho work
of the large chorus and tho congrc
gatlonal singing met the happy ex-
pectations ot alL Special featureu
were tho quarteto by Messrs. Saxon.
Marshall Hoxworth and Keefer and)
solo by Mr. St. John. Altogether It
was a wonderful preparation for thu
heart searching message ot Evan-
gelist Packard which followed.
Selecting his text from tho ques
tion of tho Master "Why call mo
me Lord Lord and do not the
things I command you?" he search-
ed the fouls ot all alike. Quoting
from a Illshop ot tho Church of
England. Dr. Packard said thla Im-
minent Divine declared that the
teachings of Jesus Christ should tu
regarded as 'Ideal" und were never
Intended to bo carried Into effect
"Just after the great war u decls.
Ion was reached by a Y. M. C. A.
debating society" he said "that
under the strain ut tho social polit
ical and economical conditions that
tho teachings ot Jesus should ho
regnrded aa Ideal and were not In-
tended to bo lived.' Another man
ot this ago steps forth to Inform us
that 'Christianity has failed.' You
listen to me. I don't know what
your Idea ot tho faith might bo but
when you are talking about 'Chrli-
lianlty failing' I am hero to toll
you that Christianity can no more
fall than Clod can fail. Tho thing
that is wrong with this old world
tonight is that 'Christianity has nev-
er been tried' be declared.
"There Isn't a projudlco existing
today between man and men be
tween tho classes and masses or
between capital and labor that
can't be driven from tho world by
the principles ot Jesus Christ man-
ifested In the lives at the samo
man and men by those same classes
land masses and by capital and lab-
or. Someono has said that tho
jworM needs some ono to como who
can put tho 'Brother In Brother
hood but I want to say to you my
brother Ho has come and His name
Is Jesus. Nine-tenths ot tho world
sorrow and woo would all bo erased
It they'd put into practice wbift
Jesis told us."
Turning to a mora detailed study
ot conditions Dr. Packard declared
that 'like begets like' and may God
help some ot you mothers to know
that while you are oft spinning you
society yarns you are making a rope
that some day will banc your own
boy. Yes the devil has mighty lit-
tle to worry about when it comes to
same folks youngsters. 'Do you

BUCKAROOS WIN
FIRST GAME BY
SCORE 40 TO 0
Playing against a team their
eiuat In weight but lacking the
science of the game tho Buckaroos
Friday afternoon ran off with tho
largo end ot a 40 to 0 score in. the
game with Gorman High School
The gamo Friday gave evidence of
the hard work Coach Coan Is giv-
ing tho High School squad and. al-
though they still show weakness In
certain lines their playing wasbetter
than when thoy played tho Elk'i
team. They were only able to
complete four forward passes dur-
tug tho gamo mid Jim Stewart
caught two ot the four. However.
Breckenrldge was able to gain at
will through the line. Playing 24
men during tho gamo tho coach was
able to get a fairly good Idea ot how
his men aro going to play. Scoring
In every quarter of tho game
Breckenrldge was In no danger
having hor goal line crossed at any
time.
Starting tho pmn out with a
rush tho Buckaroos scored two
touchdowns in tho first quarter two
In tho second and one In each of
tho other quarters. McArron kick-
ed tho first threo goals but the
other threo wero missed. Brecken-
rldge made sixteen first downs Gor-
man failed to mako a first down.
Tho touchdowns wore made In order
by Zaratonltis (2) McArron Cox
Harrison and Co
Several good gains were made by
members of the local team anion;
which McDonald
mode a brok-
en field ruu for 35 yards and Cox
Intercepted a pass for a run ot -a
urds. All members ot tho squad
played a good gamo and It they
do not allow tho easy victory of
r'riday to causa them to slow up In
their trnlnlng they will bo In tho
run off for tho State championship
this year.
Ono criticism that could bo made
ot the Breckenrldge team was the
number ot penalties Incurred dur
Ins tho game. Tho dlstanco lost
through penalties was between elgh
ty and ono hundred yards.
Tho llne.up was a follows:
Stewart left end; George left
tackle; Johnson left guard; Sarret
center; Alexander right guard; Har-
rison right tackle; Cook right end;
Cox left half; Zaratonltts rizut
half; Schulman quarterback; Me-
Arron full back.
