Many Have Come The recent coloniat movement; under special rates was the greatest yet in the history of the coast travel, 63,000 during the. short period the rate was in operation. Some of the people came to Linn county, a substantial lot of people, men with money, not million aires, but as a rulo in good circumBtan- ces with enough for investment. The coming era will be one of small farms well taken care of, under one hundred seres as a rule, in fact really there is a demand for places of ten to twenty five acres. Dairying on a small scale, rais- ing chickens, gardening, etc., will be , the order, with a market in prospect . ithat can be relied upon. This valley can stand several million people, with . resources to spare. Deserves a Low Rate.

As a rule the fire department has been in good hands, and hai been well kept up. It is in pretty good condition now, J but it ought to be better.

AT THE TBAERNACLE. Seven Meetings Sunday. The Tabernacle Full at Night. Yesterday was the greatest day in religious work Albany ever experienced. Six meetings were held and there were big crowds at all of them.. The big tabernacle was completely tilled last night for the first time since the evangelistic meetings began. Twenty-five hundred people- at one meeting ! That's a record-breaker for conserva tive old Albany. At the morning meet ing yesterday there were approximate ly 2000 people present and the record attendance of the revival meetings was thus equalled only to be broken last night. Never before in the history of Al bany was better music heard at a pub lic meeting than last night, there were fully 200 people in the chorus choir and the way they sang was great inspir ing is perhaps the only word which will describe it. "Harvest days are go ing by" they sang until the monster tabernacle rang and echoed and re echoed with melody. Never did so many voices blend in song in Albany. But besides the big chorus choir and the orchestra, there was some splendid special music yesterday. At the morn ing meeting Miss Evalyn Merrill ren dered a splendid violin solo and Pro fessor Wagner sang in his usual ex cellent manner. Last evening there was a song by the male chorus, one of the best solos Professor Wagner has yet rendered in Albany and a solo my Miss Winifred McNair, of Albany College, who has often delighted local audiences, and who sang with remarkable effect last evening. Miss Emma Sox assisted all of the singers as pianist. The Junior Choir made its appear ance yesterday, too. Professor Wagner is training a numher or children to sing the revival songs and they ac quitted themselves wonderfully vell. Last night s meeting was perhaps the most notable religious meeting ever held in Albany, the attendance was the greatest ever known here, the music was never excelled in Albany and the sermon was by far the best Evangelist Robert E. Johnson has yet delivered in this city. Throughout his discourse he received the closest attention and at times held the monster crowd almost spell-bound. There have been few, if any, greater religious meetings in the state of Oregon than that at the tab ernacle last night. the tabernacle platform was beauti fully decorated for yesterday's meetings. The clusters of dog-wood blossoms, rich in beauty, received a great deal of admiration. Besides the customary Sunday morn ing and evening meetings at the taber nacle, four special meetings were held in the afternoon. Kcv. Johnson con ducted a wonderful meeting for men only at the tabernacle at 3 o'clock and 800 Albany men were there. He talked on purity and time and again received enthusiastic applause from his hearers. At the same hour a meeting was held for women only at the First Methodist Church and there were meetings for girls and boys, respectively at the Bap tist and Presbyterian churches. Mrs. Johnson conducted the women's meet ing, while Miss Shaffer addressed the girls and Miss Marcus the boys. Rev. Johnson's sermon yesterday morning was very largely an appeal to church members and professing Christ ians to unite in an enthusiastic effort to save souls in Albany. He took his text from a Part of the third chanter of first Corinthians and urged Christ ians to be doers ot the Word and not hearers only. He dwelt on the difference between carnal and spiritual Christians as out lined in his text and urged church mem hers to live lives of helpfulness for their fellows. He said it was no wonder there were back-sliders, tor many church-members, when they see some one backsliding, say "I told you so," or Just as 1 expected instead ot lend ing a helping hand to place the way ward one safely on his feet again. "Every man shall receive his own re ward according to his own labor" was the theme of. Rev. Johnson's master ful sermon last evening. This was a part of his text in 1st Corinthians 3:8 9. "Many men try to keep their property and their religion in their wife's name," said he, "but they will find that it does not pay in either case. Some people think they do not need to labor for Christ and that when they join the church that they are in a Pullman car bound for Heaven with the porter to call them when thev reach the gate. But they may find that a hotbox will sidetrack them before they get there. Each man must do his own labor for his reward will be in accordance with his work." The speaker said lots of church mem bers want to be silent partners in the church. He said it was the fault of the coldness and indifference in many church members that caused backslid ing. For when a newly converted Christian is put into a church of cold ness he is not to be blamed for back sliding and because he docs backslide it is no sign that he was not really con verted. "For," said he bv wav of illustration. . "it is no reason that a child has been i bom all right if you put it in an ice box and freeze it to death. "But while some churches are cold storage plants," he continued, "I'm not knocking the churches. For with all her faults, the church of Jesus Christ is the greatest institution on Earth." "If many men would run their busi ness willi the same degree of laxity as they do their religion," said Rev. Johnson in an earnest plea for church nicinlicrs to be workers for Jesus Christ, "they would bust -up in 90 days and if women would attend to baking their biscuits like they atlend to their re ligion their hnsh.-miU would so.in hr- 1 seeking a divorce. I'm not afraid of the gamblers and the blind-piggers but I am alraid of the church member who goes out and knocks against the Word of Cod." In illustrating bow people can talk Miout anvtltine else but rolicion, W-v JoIt.miii imitated a woman shoppi::; and ii:rii!c".t.-.l!y landed hard c:i cat.:- logue-houses. It isn't the catalogue houses that are paving Albany's streets, building its school-houses and making it a beautiful city, he said, and drew an enthusiastic burst of applause when he urged local people to support local stores. Reciting different instances of heroic devotion of parents to their children and showing the difference in the grat itude or lack of it on the part of the children,- he drew the lesson that peo ple should recognize Jesus Christ, who died for them. In a masterful peror ation he urged people to forget money making and pleasure for the time being and all unite in this revival to work for Jesus Christ. "God pity you," he cried, "if you think more of the few dollars you might make down in your stores during the three afternoon meetings each week than in coming here to this tabernacle and pray ing for the soul of your boy or girl. Pray that men may realize that an im mortal soul is worth more than a few dollars they might make and perish in tne making. "The Second Coming of Christ" was the subject of Rev. Johnson's Satur day evening sermon at the tabernacle. He took his text from St. Mark 13 :33-37. i hat Testis Christ will come tn this Earth and that his coming is not far distant, was the theme of the evange list's sermon. Quoting many Biblical verses to nrove his ooints. he artrued that Christ will return to Earth in the same manner that he was taken up into Heaven, that he will come in His own person and take up the living and the dead who have been faithful to Him to reign with Him. He said that death is not symbolical to each individual of the second coming nor will the end of the world be the second coming but that Jesus Christ has promised that He will actually come to fcarth a second time. Rev. Johnson said that eminent Bible students all agree from the promises in tne Bible that the second coming of Christ is imminently near. The Bible said Christ would come when the Gos pel had been preachel to every nation and this has Dcen done, signs of his coming would be given by the moon and stars and disturbances of the earth and ' that trouble among nations and trials and tribulations among all people would be indicative ot his second coming. 1 he speaker saw these signs being fulfilled ,,wew 'ja,!!eJ aIor e5. al "St ill many current events. i Mary E- McCoy et al for partition. When Jesus Christ comes a second time he will descend from Heaven a cloud, the speaker said, just as he as cended to Heaven from this Earth. He will then catch up those who have fol- 1 lowed His teachings, whether dead or alive, to live and reign with him for a thousand years. If we suffer for him on earth, the speaker said, we shall reign ! with Him iii Heaven but if we deny: Him so will He deny us. ' "Men will submit to bcinc cursed' and abused and lied about and endure all kinds of indignities in a political cam-: paign to get a little cheap-skate office for two years, or at best four years, but they won't suffer for their Lord to leigu with him for a thousand years." Good music was a feature of the Saturday evening service. Besides the singing of the chorus choir there was a vocal solo by M. R. De Long. Today is "Rest Day" at the tabernacle ' and no meetings at all will be held. Tuesday will inaugurate a week which j will be full of meetings. Home and Abroad- W. Mead for repairing.
