A BIBLE CAMPAIGN
Began in this city last night in a large and well
seated tent across from the
COURT HOUSE SQUARE
Conducted By
Evangelist U. D. Pickard,
Of Washington Missionary College.
A feature of interest at this campaign will be a
"question and answer" service at 7:45 each
evening. Meetings will be held Sundays at 3in
the afternoon. Since, according to the Evan
gelist, prophecy is the only means of penetrating
the future" considerable time will be given to a
discussion pf the prophecies found in the Books
of Daniel and Relelavions. The general purpose
of the movement, it is stated, is to confirm the
faith of the people in the Bible as the inspired
and authoratative word of God.

A Beautiful Story of the Sea Nymphs
Admission 10c to All
Evangelist Pickard In His Tent Meet-,
ings.
"The devil was once the moft
beautiful of all the angels in
heaven,!' was a statement made in
an address by Evangelist Pickard
at .the tent across from the court
house square, where, in spite of
the inclement weather, a splendiu
audience gave most rapt attention.
"Nowhere in the Bible, he contin
ued, does it say has horns, hoofs,
or a forked tail. Neither does it
say he has a pitchfork in his hand
tormenting those who are in the
fire; out on the contrary is says
he was created perfect in beauty,
and full of wisdom until sin was
found in him.'"'
He further stated that "oefore the
Devil sinned his name was Lucifer,
meaning "day star". He was chief
of the angels and next in position
to Christ. He became exalted be
cause of his beauty and entertained
a great desire to be equel with
Goa. Securing a large following
of angels he led them to war
against Christ and the loyal angels,
but he prevailed not, neither was
his place found any more In
heaven.
"As this rebellious leader was not
successful in heaven he turned his
attention to the tearing down of
creation. We find the story of hite
first victory in the third chapter
of Oenises. Ah, the pity of it—here
Satan ursurped Adam's position as
prince of the world.
"Christ came to destroy the Dev
il and meets him face to face in the
wilderness. For six thousand years
these two princes have con
tending for the riglit of the king
dom. Both were once in tie truth,
but the bible says Satan aoode not
in the truth. He thus became the
father of lies.
In John 17 :17 we find these worns
of our Saviour, "Thy Word is
Truth." The Bible then is the
story of Truth, which thing Satan
hates. In order to escape tue nets
he has set for our feet, we must
study the Truth—which is the
Word.
"There is a Truth or portion of
the Bible written for every gener
ation, and it is th-'i portion appli
cable to this generation which is
to be studied in this tent.'
The subject for Friday nig'it will
be the "Return of Our Lord,'' lor

Coming' for Sunday after loon
