REVIVAL STARTING WELL Services at Methodist Tabernacle are Meeting With Much Interest Each Night.

After one week of preparation services, the revival at the Methodist Tabernacle began with yesterday's services. A crowd that comfortably filled the tabernacle was! present at the morning service. In the evening the tabernacle was packed to capacity. Chairs were brought in and every available space was filled. Reverend Henry preached two masterful sermons.

His morning subject was: "Time to Seek God," and was taken from Hosea "For it is time now to seek the Lord." He brought out the fact that the American people had been seeking everything else in the world, money, pleasure, lands, fame, and the like; and had been paying very little attention to seeking after God. He said that as an aftermath of the war, people have become lax in their lives in every way. Men in business have paid little attention to the laws of values in buying and making investments, and as result the readjustment would cause many of them to lose. He then pointed out the fact that the readjustment of the business world will be easy compared to the readjustment of the moral and spiritual world. spiritual world.

The subject of the evening sermon was "Sin's Indictment," and the text was taken from Job 10-14, "If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity." Some of the points of the evening address were that sin is always essentially selfish, caring nothing for the rights and privileges of any one else. Sin blights the personality of the one who indulges in it. At this point in his sermon, Reverend Henry paid his respects to. the public. dance, and did it in his characteristic way.

He said further that sin causes a man to refuse to do the thing that he knew he ought to do. Most men are convinced they ought to live right lives, but refuse to do it. There will be services in the tabernacle each evening this week at 7:30 p. except Saturday evening. The meetings will be interesting, and not too long, and everybody is invited to attend.

SOUTHWEST ASSOCIATION HERE JAN. 25 Meeting Will be One of Good Cheer -Officers for Year are to be Elected at That Time Liberal, Jan.

"'The Great Southwest- Coronado found it. the forty-miners passed through it, the settlers of the eigthies deserted it so to the men of the nineteen hundred and twenties belongs the glory of its development." With this slogan as their watchword, members of the Great Southwest Association will meet here January 25 for the purpose of effecting plans for the systematic upbuilding of the territory embraced by the association. Men and WOmen from 25 counties in southwest Kansas, northwest Oklahoma and southeast Colorado will attend this meeting and it is expected 46 towns will be presented. According to President Haary Magruder of Liberal this convention is to be' a mass meeting of 'good cheer for 1921." Said Mr. Magruder today: "The Great Southwest Association was organized a year ago for the purpose of advertising our country and to guide homeseekers this way, We have already done this to a gratifying extent and we are now working on plans for community building and town pride.

Already through the efforts of Francis M. Leaman and Donald MacIvor of our headquarters staff we have organized real live community clubs in 35 towns of this area and our campaign is not half finished. "This is a year of wonderful possibility for us here and we are going to plan for better things. We expect to purge the territory of all psychology that makes for business depression. That's why we call our meeting a session of good cheer." Some of the projects planned for the coming year include "paint-up" campaigns, a comprehensive publicity drive calculated to further the favorable impression already established concerning the Great Southwest, the launching of a magazine which is to be the official publication for this organization, the efficient disposal of inquiries that have come asking about the territory and opportunities here.

Officers for the coming year are to be elected at this time, too, it was said today by Mr. Magruder. Reports are to be made concernthe activities of the recently organized community clubs which have been doing work similar to that of the chamers of commerce in larger cities. GOV. ALLEN'S ADVICE IS FOR RIGID ECONOMY In Inaugural Address he Suggests Taxing Oil Production Among Other Changes to be Made.

Topeka, Jan. Governor Allen in his inaugural address stated the need of rigid econnomy but at the same time warned against legislative penury, which would have a tendency to stifle the institutional life of the state. As a means of increasing the revenue without adding to the direct tax burdens he suggested that a revenue of three million a year could be raised by taxing oil production and an additional yearly million could be raised by lowering the inheritance tax exemption. He advocated the improvement of rural school conditions. He went into details of his plan to consolidate fifteen boards and organizations into a model department of agriculture, reviewed the activities of the court of industrial relations and said if it was to accomplish its work it must be relieved of regulation of public utilities.

The governor said the state could create a million dollars, revolving fund to start operations of the farm tenantry amendment. Simple ceremony marked Allen's Inauguration.
