One noticeable thine about this mooting is tho large number oC men in at tendance. The evangelist said in part: "The question put to Paid by An anias, 'Why Tarried Thou!' is aked nw von tonight, my brother. "What nre von waiting for!' 'Why tarryest thou!' Some of you say 'I would be a Christian but I can not give up the world yet.' My brother, you think that just any time you wih to in the future, you can givo up tho world, 1 would remind vou thnt though tho time tnnv come when you would give up the world, the world will not givo you up. A man saw the carcass of a sheen floating down the river Niagara Palls. It was winter; an eagle had alighted in on the dead an imal and was eating it; the animal drifted near the falls, the eagle be came frightened and raised hi wings to flv away, but its feet bad fror.cn to the dead body; the eagle with a scream went down to death! "How true it is that when man would give up this old world it will not give him up. "A man says ; 'I can drink or lot it alone.' I would that that were true, but, oh, there aro thousands who, just about this time, ttioy would quit drink find that drink will not quit them. I have a friend who years ago began to drink moderately. He nlwavs said: 'Oh, lean quit any time.' Today he finds the liquor has deceived him; as regular v as the years and months roll nround be gets drunk three or fonr times a year and stays drunk for mnnv dnys. Many a time.rwilh my arras around bira, on our knees, I have played for him, and as the tears rolled down his cheeks lie has said, 'Ob, Brother Pal mer. God knows I do love my wife and children, and if I had it, I should give a million dollars to be free from this cursol' Ho said: 'When these awful spells of craving come over me, I feel like a balpless child ia the grip of a giant. The other day . walked the street I passed and re poshed the saloon, the horrible np petite was on me, I vowed again and again that I would not go in to the saloon, but littlo by little my will weakened, and the smell of whiskey from the saloon set on fire every drop of blood hi my body and I plunged in and pressed tho firewater of dam nntiontiou to my lips.' "Every poor old drunknrd in this land knows I have in this man's ex perience described bis case exactly. Oh, brother, when you would let li quor alquo it will not let you alone! And my brother,- that's true, too,- of the ball room. A beautiful girl in .1 revival meeting beenmo greatly inter ested in her soul, her mother was a very worldly woman and she said: 'Daughter, if you will stay away from thnt meeting and go to the bull next week I shall buy you the finest silk dross I can get in the city. You are tho most beautiful girl in tho city; at tho ball that night attired in your lovely silk, your diamonds flashing you will be the envy of nil eyes.' The daughter went, she contracted a hard cold and went homo nnd took down with pneumonia. Before she died slio culled her mother to her and snid, 'Mother, dear, bring mo that bilk dress.' It was brought and as tjio mother held it np, tho dying girl, looked nt it and said: 'Mother, that silk dress is tho price of my soul!' "'Why Tarried ThouT' Do you say I would bo a Christina but I have not enough feeling. Do you knok my biethren that the Uiblo has very little to buy nbout feeling? It no whoro says, 'He that feeling nnd js baptised shnll bo saved.' Hut it does say: 'He that belioveth and is bup tized shall bo saved.'. I tell you my brethren thnt I do not go so much on 'feeling as on faith. If I had to depend on my feelings, I should not know whether I was saved or not, foo sometimes I feel happy nnd some times sorrowful; sometimes joyful and sometimes blue. I have bnd much sorrow and many tears in my life, and oh, 1 could not depend on inv feelings, but I know that my Redeem er lives, my faith is in my Almighty Savior. A man's good wife died nnd loft him one little boy, then father and child lived alouo, they occupied adjoining bedrooms.

FLOWERS ARE GIVEN THE "STAR" IN STOKES CASE NEW YORK, Dee. 13. A molo dramntic scone, worthy of a Helueo production, was staged this afternoon at the conclusion of the tes-timnny of Miss Lillian Graham in her trial with her fellow show girl. Ethel Conrad, for the shooting of Millionaire W. K. 1). Stokes, after the sirl had been grilled on tho stand for hours by As sisnnt District Attorney Bucker for the prosecution. As the girl loft the stnnd the door of the court room opened ami a bra buttoned messenger from a Fifth ave nue shop rushed up the aisle, while judge and jury sat and gasped.

My brother, I live the life of faith, so long as I can look up by day and see the golden sun and bv night nnd behold tho silver stars, I know my heavenly father is there nnd all is well. "Again you sny, 'I would be n Chris tian but I- am too bard a sinner.' When I was conducting meetings in the First Haptist church of Tacoma Kev. J. Lewis Smith, pastor, Judge Griffith of that city told me the fol lowing stery: IIo said, 'I have re contly ret uracil from Alnska. While there I got the following facts: A young married couplo went on their honeymoon to Alaska. They were murdered by a band of savage In dinns. This clan had loht 0110 of their numbor. He started to cros a certain river there by boat. He was never seen again. Those Indians took nn oath V kill tho first pot-son, seen in that neighborhood, as they believed such persons were the. ones who killed their comrade. Now this couple from Orogon were seen there. The Indians killed them nud hid the bodios. Tho officers could find no ttrnce of the young people. No one suspicioned that Indian clan. "Jim Hanson, tho leader of that clan, and the real murdorer, was in a city of Alaska. He went to a sal vation meeting nnd was saved. He wont boforo tho judge nnd grand jury and coiucjkciI 1110 muruor. ue tried to' shield his comrades nil he could. IIo was tried and sentenced to be banged, but he had shown such a Christian spirit that public sym pathy was aroused in his behalf. A petition was gotten np and signed bv the judge and jury, the prosecuting attorney and all leading citizens. That petition was sont to President MeKinley asking him to change Jim lliiiibon'n honlunao from death to life imprisonment. The last official uel of Win. McKinley was to grant the icquest of that petition. Hanson was sent to the prison in Wnshington, near Tacorna. When I was in Taco ma some time after that, I enquired about Jim Hanson, 0110 of the em ployees nt tho prison said: 'Jim Han son is living a good Chriwlian lifo nud ig doing all be can to win his fel low prisoners to God.'
