voice mid effectiveness a bcnutifjl
duct
A splondid audience heard Pr
Palmer's sermon. 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

her fellow show girl. Ethel Conrad,

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.' "
