Chinese Barber Don't Use Lather.
"One of the chief trials of lue aver
age man is the way bin razor pulls
when be proceeds to erase the board
from bis face," remarked a traveler.
"Some years ago I was In China, and
I noticed that the cunning barbers of
that country, instead of putting lather
on the faces of their customers, used a
number of very hot towels. 1 went
through the experience and became a
convert to the Chinese system. To this
day when 1 go to share, in lieu ot
soap, I steam my face wltb hot water
and find that this method takes alt Hie
wlrlness out of the whiskers far bet
ter than lather, so that if the blade is
reasonably sharp you can shave wltb
out any torture incurred in the 'pull
ing' process." Baltimore American.
Athletic Women of Other Days.
A searcher after curious facts bas
learned that athletic women are by
no means a modern product, as is gen
erally believed. They flourished In the
days of sal volatile, hoops, patches and
snuff In the days when George II.
was king. Ladles of the court took
part in races arranged for them at the
regular meetings, so that there were
lady Jockeys as well as gentlemen
Jockeys, and once a series of foot races
for ladies In Hyde park was organ
ized. The first one was run amid great
enthusiasm of the populace, and the
betting was high. Then stepped In
some cross grained old fellow, who
persuaded the government that such
races were unseemly, and they came
to a sudden end.

His Sound Sleep.
Lord North slept in the bouse of
commons, says Mr. Spencer Leigh
Hughes, more than any other man who
ever ted it, but even he was awake at
times. There was an occasion on
which some gentleman was denounc
ing tbe noble lord in really very One

to exhort you to action In regard to
the meetings that are rain on in
Enterprise. There have been a great
many souls converted and I know
there Is not one boh! that la not
converted that doej not (eel God's
spirit striving with him. to become
a Christian. So while the Spirit is'
working let all of us work together
for the salvation of every unsaved ,
soul, in Enterprise. We need your '
cooperation and God will bless you
in your effort. Your brother in '
Christ. Frank Hamblen.
You Hear the Truth.
It Is wonderful to see the success
Dr. Pratt, the union evangelist speak
er, is having. He 13 a boon to the
country nad Is the kind of an orator
that Impresses you that he knows
what he is abojt. He puts the
truth to you in such a way that you
can't help but S9e where you etand.
He is bringing the lost ones to the
fold. There have been more than
180 additions to date. When you
hear him you hear the truth. Earl
Pack.
Ovej. 175 Converts.
There is no queitioa but that the
meetings have beea a success In ev
ery respect. I will venture that no
one at the outset expected as large
and as far-reaching results as have
already been realized. The work has
been quiet, deep and thorough. Had
It been a campaign of emotionalism,
the fact that about 175 or more have
confessed Christ would have been
occasion for spreading the news ' In
every paper In this northeastern
part of Oregon. As it Is, the soul-saving
work has gone on so quietly and
with so Little of the spectacular that
people little realize what is being
accomplished.
It has been my privilege to take a
more or le3 active part in several
jvangellstic campaigns. In none have
I seen a more soond or simple pre
entatlon of the Scriptures; In none,
i stronger and more manly appeal to
reason and good Judgment; in none
i more careful .instruction of the con
verts; In none a more urgent iasis
tance upon obedlance to the Word,
intensity of prayer and open confes
sion. In consequence the conversions
have been bright and intelligent.
-It is hoped that' every one will
avail themselves of the privilege of
tlie meetings' dming the few remain
ing days they are to continue.
S Harris.
Unity of Spirit.
The Evangelistic campaign being
held under the direction of Dr. Pratt
Is accomplishing a great deal of good.
His presentation of the plan of Salva
tion and his appeal to the reason and
conscience is leading those who ac
cept Christ to do so with, earnestness
and determination. Another good re
suit is 'the unity of spirit with which
ill Christian people, both old and
new converts are working together.
' J. S. Kay.
Opportunity of Lifaftime.
The revival meetings now In pro
gress deserve the support of every
person who is Interested In the wel
tare of the community. Dr. Pratt ha
3hown himself to be an able exposlt
or of the Scriptures, and an earnest
preacher of righteousness. He has
ihown an earnest purpose, of leading
js to "Get Right with God," and is
loing his beet to establish the con
vert in the Christian life. These
meetings afford an opportunity tc
learn the way of truth that will not
occur again in the lifetime of many
X us. You cannot afford to miss
this opportunity. C. E. Trueblood.
Unabated Interest
The union revival meetings at the
rink continue this week with unabat
ed Interest. The cold weather proves
but little hindrance. The house if
made quite comfortable and with
wraps on no inconvenience is suffer

Ring of Sincerity.
In reference to the evangelistic
meetings now in progress in our city,
I desire to say, in my opinion they
present a rare opportunity for our
people to hear the word of God pre
sented in a clear and convincing man
ner by a thorough Bible student and
teacher. Dr. Pratt is certainly a
very forceful speaker, and his earn
