THE SUNDAY MEETING. D Writes lnt«t«sting!y About the Evangelist in Col- I umbia. Mr. Edit 5 Rev. Mr. Su the last of his six weeks campaign in the big tai ema cle here. 1 The writer, like many others who had never heard or seen him in the V; e 1 pit, was not at all partial towards wFi- 'd his reported work in the minisi -y but rather regarded him as orist and extreme sejisa tio 'i.i o’ . < : ei who was not accom pli bmg mi.ch real and lasting good. Bug now, like all others who have come in close person al touch wich him, we are fully per ! suaded that he has no superior, if an j equal, in the world, as great a soul ! winner, a d in his powers of attract ing the great masses of people and holding them spellbound for almost an unlimited space of time. He has been preaching here now twice eacn day for nearly six weeks and still the interest continues to increase and the crov ds of people are merer. Gag daily. M- y oi them must come to the tab j ernacle hours before the services be gin in oriler to get in and obtain a , seat, and it often happens that many are left outside ol this very large tent which covers nearly half an acre of ground. Not only are thousands hit ting the sawdust trail but great swarms of church members are also , giving their hands in pledge for bet tor Christian living and more active woik for the Master. He is a very rapid speaker and of : ten sneaks from one to two hours and j never wabbles or tags and holds his audiences at all times perfectly spell bound for all of this time. In fact he w a perfect marvel both in speech and action. He has been offered ten i thousai cl dollars per week to -go on the stage hut persistently refuses, : preferring to continue in the pulpit is saving hardly any clear money. All of which goes to show that he is not preaching for money or fame. He handles the preachers ami , the crooked church members with | gloves off, all of whom seem to take it cheerfully as they all know that j they are guilty. He preaches of the I old fashioned doctrine of hell-fire and : eternal punishment which seems now to he about the only way to reach the ; r.-ople and bring about the best re- I suits. u The people are satisfied # that his ' coming is worth all that it lias cost j with compound interest added. He has preached for the colored people and had them to make vocal music for the tabernacle several times. It was considered very good by the most competent judges. There was only about 800 colored people in this choir. Mr. Sunday has been very nice to the colored people here and advises the whites to elp and encouroge them in every way possible to better condi tions in life to them that oetter Chris tian feeling may exist between tbe races to all of which we would say amen W.

(By John Blake,) Playing Fair, The idler is a cheat. The shirk' is ; dishonest. Neither pays tbe debt with wh’eh he was saddled when he came into the world and which has eontini> ed ' o rm up since his existence began. ! No idler could live but for the lab or of other men. i He, therefore, is not playing fair ; when be refuses to do his own share . of work. The food he eats comes from the soi l or from the herds and flocks and poultry yards and fruit orchards and tea and coffee plantations. , Only by severe toil docs it become : fit for his table. I The clothes that he wears must be j taken from the sheep or from the : cotton fields, or from the mulberry • trees which are the pastures of the ! silk worm. Railroad trains and ships must move on their courses, spindles and looms must turn, trucks must lumber ; through the streets, and salemen and j saleswomen stand behind counters in order that he may be clad. His education, his amusement, his very health depend unon the hard, un j ceasing labor of others, j He can only repay this debt by do j ing his own work and doing it as well I as he can. j If he neglects it, gets through with | just as little effort a? possible, he has ; not done it well, and he is to just tbe i extent of his neglect the thief of the | labor of other men. j If he idles altogether, either by rea- I son of inherited wealth or bv an abil j ity to live on the product of others, | returning not even superintendence ! himself, ho is still a thief, • j The employer who finds work for ' many men *n the production o'" mater ials often does more than his share.- Most of what the Socialists call para sites really do necessary work—the lawyer, the actor, the orator- —a 1 ! con tribute to human happiness and pro gress. But the man who idles even a part of his working time is a cheat, and a cheat has no place in the world. Os ad h umau qualities laziness is the mosi" common. It is only the mar who yields-to it who is a shirk. And he ought to be ashamed to look honest and industrious men in the face,—Ex change. _ ■HIM ■■■■■■■IMIIIII ■—T DIAMONDS We have formed Connections With a Large Diamond Impotrer We are Selling on - 10 Per Cent Basis This arrangement gives you an opportunity of buying a Diamond at parctically the wholesale price J.
