ings by the preaching evangelist Rev. Mr.
Dewitt and the singing evangelist Professo
Markham closed at the Ninth street Baptis
Church last evening. The engagement o

continued some four weeks, and has been sue

and thence, after brief engage
ment, to San Jose. Despite the storm

Shurch was filed by an interested auditory
At the conclusion of the services DR.. Frost
took the pulpit and solicited from the peoIlt
a liberal collection to defray the expenses Of
the evangelists. To accomplish this more
effectively the reverend gentleman directed
ushers to deliver to every person present q
slip of paper, on which each one of the audi
ence giving was to mark down the sum con-
tributed out of hand, or the sum he or she
would pay within two weeks. As the ushers
went their rounds he further instructed the
people that II any paid on the spot, to mark
the sum opposite their names on the paper
with the word paid, and added, with feint
at humor which, to some hearers, implied a
doubt IN the speakers mind as to the integ-
rity of his auditors, most of whom had for
four weeks been sitting beneath the drippings
of the sanctuary, 8 II any OF you do not pay
now, don't mark your slip paddock out for
that, if you please"
