The meet ing started, off with a brisk song service led by the evangelist, Mr. Fred G. Fisher. The spirited singing of hew and old favourites soen had the audience in full sym pathy with the leader. Dr. Shank3 quoted the words of Peter, "Whereby are granted to us ex ceeding great and precious prom Ises." He said there are 31,000 promises within the lids of the Bi,ble. There is a promise fitted to every need, to every person in every circumstance of life. The smallest as well as the greatest things of life come . within tbe range of his promises. There is a promise to fit the experience of every son of man in every posi tion in life. So great in number, and so great in possibilities. The promises are precious, for they are the promises of God. His promises never fail. He is not man to make promises and fail. He is never slack concerning his prom ises. Every promise is "yea" and amen'J In Christ Jesus. God signed every one of the 31,000 promises in the blood of the cross with his own hand. V This is why they are o precious,-. This eve ning the meeting will begin at 7:30 and . Mr. Fisher' will be in charge. The pastor will preach on "What is your Alibi?" These meetings are for the general pub lic and all are invited. STOLEN FOOTBALL Youngsters Are in Posses- ! sion of Willamette Uni versity's Equipment Over $150 worth of foot bal equipment, which was stolen from uie YYiuameue university gym nasium about a month ago, has been recovered, and those " re sponsible for the disappearance of the equipment have been appre bended. Although no names were given out, it is understood that the theft was executed by several boys who are of junior high school age. ' I The apparent purpose of the boys, in taking the equipment was (or having a few games themselves rather than for the purpose of selling. Tbe boys were found playing on a local field, all garbed In the suits. One little fellow who would probably measure un (jler 5 feet was wearing the suit stolen from Big Bill Mudra, who Is well over six feet in height. A,!! pf the equipment has been recov ered and it is reported that the fathers of the guilty ones have agreed to settle for any damages that might have been caused. The apprehension was made possible through the quiet working of the local police, it is said, in coopera tion with representatives of Wil lamette university. tion fights in Kentucky late today. jReports from Harlan said William Gilbert and a man named Maples killed each other, and Whitesburg dispatches said George Bates was killed and four others wounded near there infa row in which 40 shots were exchanged,;. fkt mkm f DHMMbuVA' iitltl,Titft.AInil House 4 "V - Phone 983 ... j- EQUIPMENT FOUnD Victrola I Hdl'BiciitFoifH f Pleasing to Salem Theater Patrons Forest Taylor.

Hell Bent for Heaven." it 1 was available through the Forrest Tay lor Players to an approving Salem audience, a large crowd witnessing the drama last night at the Heilig theater. Not only a play of ex ceptional merit but a cast marked ly well adapted to the character roles, gave the Salem theatergoing public good reason , to anticipate the popular weekly appearance of Forrest Taylor's virile stock com pany. Hatcher Hughes' prize play in troduced the drama in a different manner than the company has heretofore played it in Salem. For rest Taylor completely reversed his role from that of the triumph ant hero to the fanatic, "hell bent for heaven" villain. But as Rufe Pryor, Forrest Taylor was the as toundirig success a role carried through with fidelity always is. He exerted an hypnotic control over his lines that brought them in evangelistic fervor to his audi ence, glibly as they came forth. Miss Fanchon Everhart, as Meg Hunt, t"he mother in the Hunt household in the Blue Ridge mountains at the close of the World war, enacts a splendid acr cessory role to the maddened Rufe.

The role that the undiscrimin ating audience would have, prof fered Taylor, himself, went to Ce cil Drummond when he played the part of Sid Hunt, the mountaineer son, returned from the war and charitable from it. Alvin Baird takes the blusterous and conspicu ous, but less vital part, of Matt Hunt; the father of Sid, while Kirk M. Decker, as Andy Lowry, has opportunity to become both angry and drunk enough to wax eloquent in his favorite diction of profanity. The play manages to keep the character leads at gun's end 'most of the time, with a re markable "play of suspense throughout..
