One of the strongest attractions at the
Crittenton meetings is the singing of
Mr. Wallace and his direction of the
vocal music. ; Possessing a good voice of
great depth, of which he bas a complete
mastery and wonderful expression,
many are led to the meetings who love
to hear the beauties of the human voice.
As a leader of congregational singing he
was never before equalled in The Dalles.
The Florence Mission rescue work is
the title of one of the most interesting
subjects handled- by the Crittenton evan
gelists. This is a work which appealed
to Mr. Crittenton's efforts and fortune
and for the euccees of which he is de
voting the best labor of his life. It is a
labor of redeeming the fallen from the
damniog criticism of an uncharitable
world, to rescue their bodies from de
struction and their souls from spiritual
death. Tomorrow night at armory hall
at 7:30.
A comprehensive picture of childhood
was presented this afternoon at the
Crittenton meeting at armory hall. A
sea of bright little faces, upturned to
listen to the story of Jesus' love for
them was one of the most inspiring and
elevating eights that mortal may wish to
see. Very handsome they looked in their
variously-colored array, each little face
wearing an expression of earnestness
and innocence, and an inspiration must
they have been to the evangelists and
Christian ministers who are trying to
show them the way, the truth and the
life thus early in their career.

POOR OLD SALLY AGAIN.
From Cold ana Hunger Her Child 1
Passlas; Away.
Some time since mention was made in
the Chronicle of "Sally," an Indian
woman who works hard all day at the
washtub for 25 cents, and who does not
earn money enough to maintain life and
care for her sick daughter. In conse
quence that daughter is today dying
dying from cold, hunger and neglect. In
trembling and uncouth language she in
formed a patron laBt week that she would
not be able to wash the coming week, for
her girl would net live long and she must
be at her bedside waiting for the end.
She begged for a pair of stockings to fur
nish warmth to the one being on this
earth she most dearly loves, who, unat
tended by a doctor, her frame emaciated
by disease and insufficient food, and her
body so scantily clad that she is con
stantly chilled, is dying.
. This week she again appeared with a
new and terrible trouble. While at Seu
fert'a cannery a Chinaman accidentally
cut her on the wrist with a huge knife
while chopping salmon. The wound is
a serious one. The two sides of a triangular-space,
about two inches in length,
are depressed, showing the presence of a
deep wound. She suffers great pain
constantly, but bas no "chickamin"
money) to purchase either medicine or
medical attendance.
Poor old Sally's troubles will soon be
over. She will shortly stand at the
brink of a grave, where her great matern
al love will be buried with her child ; the
heavy earth pressing over the loved form
will communicate its weight to her be
reaved heart. With crushing sadness,
but savage fortitude, she will return to
her detolate hearthstone, and with
heartsick and body racked with pain,
she will endure as best she may the
short span of life that yet remains to her
before her spirit takes its flight to that
realm where cold cannot pierce, where
unger cannot guaw, and where let us
ope, there will be no lack of comforts
that a fond mother may not bestow on
her child. May that love be eternal,
unthwarted and measureless.

Work."
Eight forty-five had been reached be
fore the regular services began, and Mr.
Carpenter in commencing urged that as
many as could attend the meeting at the

subject of "Consecration."

The subject of the Bible reading yes
terday afternoon was "Assurance," at
which time a fair-sized audience greeted
Mr. Crittenton. ..
It was 8 o'clock last evening before
the leaders announced the first hymn,
and a short praiso. and prayer service
was held, at the close of which the solo
by Mr. Wallace, "My Old Country
Home," was finely rendered, he being
assisted by a refrain, which seemed to
come from the sides of the stage. After
the solo Mr. Crittenton made' the an
nouncements and distributed a large
number of cards of invitation, to be
given out to induce all the children in
the town to attend the children's meet
ing this afternoon at the armory. Also
cards of invitation were distributed to
those present to give to their friends and
neighbors inviting them to attend, the
lecture on Wednesday evening on the
MR. CARPENTER.
Mr. Carpenter took for his text Jere
miah xii :5, "If thou hast run with the
footmen and they have wearied thee,
then how canst thou contend , with
the horses? And if in the land of peace,
wberin thou trustest, tbey weary thee,
then bow wilt thou do in the swelling of
the Jordan?" The speaker said life was
full of mile-stones, and every moment
we were nearing the last milestone of
life, and we should be prepared for
that last mile-stone, the swelling of the
Jordan, and then the end would be glo
rious. He spoke very touchingly of
never having seen his mother, but be
lieved be should know ber in the world
to come, when life's race Is run.
After the address an invitation was
given and cards distributed to those
wishing for prayers and who were will
ing now to start on the Christian life.
The beautiful hymn "We Are Passing
Away" was very affecting, and the au
dience showed how deeply it was moved
by the solemn quiet that came over it.
. The meeting closed by Mr. Crittenton
asking the Christians present to refrain
from talking of other subjects than those
of a serious nature, espee ially with tb
unconverted, after which the bendictiori
was pronounced.
