The fire broke out'while evangelistic services were being conducted by the Rev. Dr. J. O. S.

Bidlack will be the speaker. The church will be decorated in the national colors. ft r I 'HAT Christianity is a failure is a J f act that many are trying to prove because of the European war. One it discussed on all sides. If such is the fact why then should every nation at war so ardently endeavor to im press upon the world that theirs is a right eous cause? If Christianity is a fail ure why do the nations wait, the world to know that theirs is a just war? This war does not prove the failure of Christianity. Rather does it prove the fact that it is taking a greater hold upon men and nations, for in presenting to the world the righteousness of their war they are striving to impress the world with the fact that they are a Christian nation. The revival of religion among men is fast moving onward, and unless you are in step with the progress of the movement, you are depriving yourself of that which is the most beautiful and most helpful in life. Get into line with the only cause in the world that is truly worth your while and Go to Church This advertisement has been authorized and Is being paid for by the Associated Churches of Ilarrlsburg.
