REVIVAL MEETING I : OUT FOR IDLERS 1 PAEKT0N s 0F u,L nEW8 Their Attacks Lately Have Lack ed the Tenacity of Other Days Ambitious Attempts of Ene my in Past Few Weeks Have Failed. The latest news before going to nress this afternoon is to the effect! that the American forces have made an advance at Chateau Thierry This morning's summary of war news gives the following: The Teutonic allies apparently have lost their spirit of do-or-die. Their attacks everywhere lately have lacked the tenaciousness of days gone by. Instead of ploughing through Al lied lines with stubborn indifference to casualties so long as an objective j was gained, they now waver and halt in the face of the artillery and rifle fire of the men barring their way and with the points they were trying to gain still far beyond their reach. Ambitious attempts by the troops ' of the Central Powers in the past few weeks have proven this. The opening of a gateway to Paris through the western front running from Montdid- ier to the Marne, failed completely; the offensive on the Italian battle j line launched by the Austrians seem- j ingly has failed miserably in the mountain regions and apparently has been almost stopped along the Piave,; while a stroke started by the Germans against Rheims broke down in its in-' ception without the enemy taking aj yard of territory. And in these various enterprises the high commands of the German and Austrio-Hungarian armies, have, seen their men literally mowed down! until battlefields have been clogged' with dead or wounded as recompense to the Allied troops for the small bits of terrian they yielded. The Aus trian offensive in the Italian theatre is still in progress along the Piave river, but in the mountain region af-; ter the sharp reaction by the Italian,: British and French troops, who in! counter-attacks pushed back the in- j vader from the points he had attain ed in the initial rush, the enemy evi-j ttile'ofthi defeagderns.trying H GRADED S" TEACHERS On the Piave numerous attempts J have been made by the Austrians to i gain further bridgeheads on the west- j Graded School Board Elects Teachers em bank ot the stream, Dut tne ltan-i , .. ana ouorvMiVioro q ro VioMJncr them with 1 r Or All XfUt their gun fire and also doing san guinary execution within the ranks of the enemy across the river with bombs and machine gun fire.

Getting to his sermon, Dr. McDan iel said: Community's Largest Asset. The largest asset of any communi tv is the eood men and women that live in it. One good man or one good woman may do a world of good m ny community. Every good thing grows. He told of how one woman he knew started a Sunday school in a town where there were no churches and how the Sunday school developed in to a strong church. "We cannot live our lives without affecting others," the preached declared. Some men and some women are like .i shaae tree in a pasture, they are shelter for the poor and oppressed. These are the people of whom Jesus was speaking when he said, "Ye are the salt of the earth; ye are the light of the land." One cannot run away from his influence.

Dr. Mc Daniel told of his work among the sol diers and said that after he had preached to several hundred soldiers and asked them how many wanted him to pray for them that hands went up by the hundred. We can pray the blessings down, the preacher con tinued. God moves differently today, but just as real as he ever did. The world will never be saved by preach ers alone.
