A half past two o'clock service

vice would one expect to gee man
ifest a high degree of rellcioux
fervor, but the chance passer-by
wiio will drop in at llerea on al
most any afternoon this week
will not only And the church audi

overflowing into the Sunday
school annex but also in all prob
ability Will witness bFforp-the nut
of the service the manifestation
of a tide of religious feeling so
strong that tears flow unchecked
down the cheeks of men whose
eyes have not been seen wet in
years.
The preachers have an unusual
advsutage. They are llerea boys
~ who -have gone out and made, a
name for themselves in the world
in which the old home commun
ity takes an abounding pride. The
older and middle-aged members
of the congregation they know by
their first names, and they know
also the names of their fathers
and mothers who. for the most
part no longer go In and out be
fore the congregation but have
answered the summons that marks
the end of earthly life. Speaking,
then, from the text "And it Is ap
pointed unto men once to die, and
after this the Judgment." Judge
Davis on Wednesday afternoon
wUh tnmendous effect on his
congregaTTffW named "over i he
heads of families- that In his boy
hood lived all the way from
Knobbs Creek to Berea and asked
where these men are today. He
eited-ehnmpions In .strengUi. -ai.
the old log rolling of his boy
hood days, and asked where these
were gone. Then out of his
?A kith of experience as prosecut
ing officer and Judge, he told of
the vast change In men from the
tini" When they first become law
breakers until the time*when they
are called to Judgment.
"How they would have scoffed
and scorned the suggestion when
they first turned a deaf ear to
warning anil their feet sought for
bidden paths." he said, "had they
been told that they would ever
become the poor trembling
wretches who went to their doom
with their knees like water and
the cry of despair in tnelr throats,
too weak to walk alone Into the
rxecutlon chamber or even to ut
ter the Inarticulate wall that flut
tered against every breath. So
there are those of you heeding
lightly my warnings of Judgment
who when that great day ?comes
will cry for the rocks and the
mountains to hide you from the
presence of Him thst sltteth upon
the Judgment seat."
Services continue at Berea for
the remainder of this week. Ihrlce
dally. In the morning at 11
o'clock, In the afternoon at 2: HO

Declaring Defense Test I>ay

for every citizen to lake Invent

Investigated, suggesting tlr> med

purposes.
"The day would he most of all
appropriate for an examination ef
the vitality of our people," paid
Secretary Weeks. "That vitality
Is fundamental to defense and to
citizenship, and a succeasful re
public must consider that what
ever strengthens its defensive
ability strengthens Its citizen
ship."
The officers and men of the
Army are given a complete phy

It Is the belief of the secretary
that each community should do

considers the cltlsens must under

"1 therefore." said Secretary
Weeks, "ask the citizenry to be
