DOUBTING THOMASES
GRILLED BY EVANS
Evancells! .T llruco Evaiu tonic for
a subj,ct the story of Doubting Thom
as. The evangelist began in his usu
al style that of getting his audience
in good humor, but he didn't take
much time along that strain.
The sermon last night was perhaps
the most serious ho has delivered.
There were no frills and while ho
I threw into his discourse a lot of spice
it was evident that the thing on his
mind was the man who calls himself
a doubter.
Evans talked like a lawyer before
a Jury last night. Ho brought forth
tlie evidence that he thought Thorn
ns had and ought to havo used. He
spoke in legal terms. Ho Indicted
him and tried him and no doubt the
great majority would give him the
credit of convicting him.
He said every man had enough
evidence at his command today to
convince no matter what his doubts
were. .
Ho closed with a story of his own
conversion and sang a song of his
own composition, entitled "On Yon
der Shore," dedicated to his mother.
Thero were few dry eyes In the house
when he finished and when he asked
those who wanted to live-a better life
to manifest that desire there were
several who did.
Many extra chairs had been car
ried Into tho room but the room was
crowded as on ther nights.

laration that he and his associates

tempt to cross the international

the Mexican city.
The Mexican federals are making
the trip from Eagle Pass over Am
erican territory, and it is more than
pobable the American soli will be the
battleground of the first important
battle as the mutineers are reported
to have 150 pieces of small artillery
which they Intend to turn upon the
federals when they attempt, to enter
Juarez over the bridge from, this
place.
Should the rebels carry out this in
tention, it would mean immediate in
tervention on the part of the United

sued, to the effect that the first shot
to fall on the American side"" of the
