FAITHS INTELLIGENCE.
The Big Revival at Fourth Street
Mrs. Robinson Called Sud
denly to the Bedside OF q by
ing Sister-Last Appeal.

Last evening the audience room at
the Fourth Street Church was crowded
with a throng OF our citizens, old and
Young, ladies and gentlemen, all anxious
to listen to the soul.inspiring words ana
admonitions as uttered by that little
lady who has labored so earnestly In
our midst for the past four weeks,
Mrs. Robinson took Tor her text, last
evening, u passage from LIST Kings, xvni:
81; al the Lord he God, follow Him.
Most conclusiyely did she prove to her
listeners that the Lord he was God; and
then followed one OF the most earnest
appeals 10 the unconverted to draw
nigh. for now was the accepted time,
and why should they delay longer This
appeal was not without its effect, Tor at
the close of the discourse, after hymn
had been sung, those who felt the need
Of a Savior were invited to come forward.
To this large number responded and
the audience bowed their heads while a
most powerful prayer was offered up Tor
their salvation.
Just as the prayer was about finished
Mrs. Robinson was handed dispatch
informing her that her sister was dying.
Although almost entirely overcome 10y
this sad intelligence, Mrs. Robinson in a
few moments recovered herself, and
then followed one OF the most impressive.
solemn and begging appeals We ever
listened 10. 1t was her farewell talk to
a people that she had almost been a
mother 10 for the past month.
The church was painfully quiet dur
ing all this, but on every lace was dis
cernable the deep interest and sympa-
thy every one felt for the lady in her
atiiiction.
After a few words to the audience, she
turned to the fifteen persons at the altar,
and, as her last request to them, prayed
them to throw off the yoke OF sin now
and thus in manner make her heart
lighter and their future life one OF hap
piness aud JOY.
By this time every eye was moist AMI
sobs were heard coming from various
PARTS of the church. We heard several
speak of the occasion as being the most
impressive scene ever witnessed IN that
ediiice.
Mrs. Robinson was taken in charge
bv loving hands and in few moments
every thing was in readiness So that she
was enabled to leave for home on the
n:l5 train, followed 10y the prayers and
best wishes OF Il large number who had
accompanied her To the train.
During the past week every afternoon
and evening has witnessed crowds wend.
ing their way in the direction OF the
church, and during that time many have
been saved while many have felt a pow
eriul influence exerted upon them, to
lead Christian life.
Her sermons have been Of unusual
power, giving evidence of great resources
OF mind and the expression OF all Is,
where does such small person keep 50
much information and bible truth?
Mrs. Robnson's physical strength is
also really wonderful. She seemed as
fresh last night rs ii she had not been
engaged in the arduouS aud public work
OF the past month.
The various services will be continued
at the church the same as heretofore.

81. Meyer Resignation.

Yesterday morning Officer James st.
Meyers cut off his brass buttons and
handed in his resignation 10 the Ser.
geant. Aitersard he was induced to re-
consider his action and continue on the
force. This is an apparently simple
business transaction, but there is said to
be something behind it. Davis, we
know, relies on st. Meyers and his
memorandum book TO help him out in
his charges against the Sergeant, and it
is said the Sergeant is fully aware Of
this. st, Meyers has been anticipating
decapitation and resigned on this &C
count Two Chapline street legal lights
induced him TO reconsider, and report
says this was done at the solicitation OF
the Sergeant This, however, We can

that St Meyers is man without fear or
favor, and il he knows anything in refer
ence TO the charges IL will come out, de-
capitation or not.

down. The spectators laugh and he

The Insurance Companies Home VS.
Foreign.

correspondence OF the Register
And so it seems our home insurance
companies are to be run upon new
principles. Not satisfied with the rates
which they receive, with foreign compe-
tition, they must needs 20 TO work,
under the engineering of one or two
largely interested stockholders, and
form a combination for the purpose Of
driving the foreign companies out Of the
city. This they would propose to do 10y
imposing an enormous tax on the
agents Of the latter companies. For
this purpose, taking advantage OF
the absence OF u number OF
the members of Council, and springing
the question suddenly on that body,
they have succeeded in securing the
passage Of an ordinance for the accom-
plshmcnt Of their dishonest plan. We
say dishonest, for il is nothing else. Ii
is fraud upon our business men and
upon our citizens generally, who, by
the advanced rates oi insurance, thus
secured To the home companies, through
the virtual expulsion Of the foreign
agencies will he subjected To much
lllEllNI NilalkNN lNI lHSNldINt llall w
present But will our business men
aud citizens at large submit to itP We
shall see. The demands OF our city trade
require responsible insurance companies
and not such rs pay dividends once in
three or four years 10 the stockholders,
and the market value of whose stocks
rate from % to 30 per cent. OF the par
value OF the same; aud which, so far as
We can STE, are run chiefly in the inter
est Of the officers ol the several com
panies. THIS business, as we have said,
seems to be engineered chiefly by one or
two prominent men, one OF whom is 10y
no means stranger to such dirty tricks
which are known to the public, and
some may possibly come to the light
hereafter.
Ii is probable that the German In
surance Company is not liable to the
above charges; not, at least, to the full
extent. II any of the home companies
feel themselves aggrieved by this article,
let them publish clean exhibit, and
the public will then know where to find
them. In the mean time, let them call
off their hounds from the foreign COM
panlcs.
This article is written without the
knowledge ofany one engaged in the
insurance business.
Nota B,Ra-let not the public be de-
Ceived by the plea that the tax COM
planned OF is imposed for the purpose Of
revenue. A tax for revenue should be
equal and just, and not unreasonable
and exorbitant. SCALPEL.
