FOUR NOTED REVIVALISTS.

The names of Moody and Sankey are ia
miliar wherever the English language is
spoken, and perhaps no persons in the
United States occupy more conspicuous
place in the religious world than the four
whose portraits are here presented. Moody
and Sankey have been prominent before
the country as evangelists for more than
twenty years, their labors when not in
Europe having been in the Northern and
Western States, until recently when they
visited the Southwest, in which section
they have been laboring for some time
past with great success; and the fact that
they are now in South Carolina, conducting
a series of meetings in Charleston, from
which city they will proceed to Columbia,
contributes additional interest to their
Southern visit. According to the arrang-
ments made in advance, they were to have
arrived in Charleston on yesterday, on
which day revival services were COM
menced, and are to be held twice daily to
and including Saturday, and on Sunday two
additional services will be held-one at |
A. NJ. for the colored people, and another at
$50 p. NJ, for women only. All the services
are conducted at Agricultural Hall, and
are designed for the unconverted. In their
labors in Charleston the evangelists have
the earnest cooperation of the pastors Of
the various denominations of the city, and
there is every evidence that they will ac-
complish much good.
But while Moody and Sankey have long
been prominent in the North, there has also
sprung up i'm the South one whose aggres-
siveness in combating the wiles of Satan
has made him no less conspicuous before
the country than histwo worthy co-laborers; !;
while the vein Of iginality-often more
homely than notwithstanding many
of his thrusts at ungodiness, has given to
his pulpit utterances wide dissemination
by both the religious and secular press.
For several months past Mr.. Jones has been
ably assisted in his evangelical work by
Samuel w. Small, of Atlanta, who was
converted through his instrumentaity dur
ing revival service in Georgia. In view
of the prominence of these evangelsts,
now actively engaged in their work, a
brief sketch of each will be Of public in
terest.
DWIGHT l.. MOODY.
The equotation from Shakespeare, "The evil
that men do lives after them; the good is
oft inferred with their bones," should be
exactly reversed in the case of Dwight L..
Moody. 1t is doubtful whether any other
evangelist can boast of such varied eXpe-
rience as Mr.. Moody can, and to mention,
even in the most sketchy manner, all the
incidents of his remarkable career, would re-
uuire far more space than is allotted to the
average newspaper article. He was born
February 9Th, 1887, in Northfeld, Mass.
At the age of seventeen he went to Boston,
and there worked as salesman for his un-
Gle, Mr.. Samuel Holton. In 1856 he went

will reach them, because there is nothing
to appeal to. By and by the American
people will realize the danger, and in some
heroic way solve the problem. They do
not understand it now. Their wisest and
best men seem to have little idea of the
necessities of the hour. Rome, in the days of
her greatest power, never held such des-
potic sway as does the Presidency of this
church. The lives, liberties and property of
all Mormons are at the absolute disposal OF
the head of the church,

POWER OF MORMoNIsM.-The Lutheran
Observer gives the following extract from a
private letter on the situation in Utah from
Charles S. Narian, Esq, who has figured
prominently in the recent trials of polyg-
amists at Salt Lake City, as assistant Unit
ed States Attorney. 1t will be read with
interest:
"The situation here is a strange one, and
the responsibility of a government officer
is very great. We are surrounded by an
alien people. The great mass of Mormons
is recruited from the peasant classes OF
Continental Europe and England. Honest
but ignorant and fanatical, the proselite to
the faith is conveyed to Utah and placed
in possession of Il small holding of land.
At once he finds himself in i position of
con,parutire at1luence. The land he holds
comes to him by conveyance from John
Taylor, the head of the church, who he IS
taught to believe is the supreme authority.
Thus he is bound by a two-tOd tie. First,
he believes and therefore acknowledges
the Mormon priesthood as the representa-
tives of the Almighty. Second he IS CRATE
full to the power which he supposes has con-
ferred temporal blessings exceeding those
of his widest anticipations. The people
know nothing Of American institutions,
and have no appreciation of their duties as
citizens of the Republic. Our flag to them
is but symbol of tyranny, and its stars
have no significance. So far as patriotism
is concerned, 1t does not e.rist. 1t cannot be
awakened for it does not sleep. No appeals

Dear face, bright, glinting hair
Dear life, whose heart is mine
The thought Of you is prayer,
The love of you divine.
In starlight, or in rain;
In the sunsets shrouded glow;
Ever, with joy or pain,
To you my quick thoughts 60
Like winds or clouds, that fleet
Across the hungry space
Between, and find you, sweet,
Where life again wins grace.
Now, as in that once young
Year that so softly drew
My heart to where it clung,
I long for, gladden. in you.
And when in the silent hours
/ whisper your sacred name,
Like an altar-fire it showers
My blood with fragrant flame.
Perished in all that grieves;
And 10, our old new joys
Are gathered as in sheaves,
Held in loves equipoise.
Ours is the love that lives;
It's spring. time blossoms blow
Mid the fruit that autumn gives,
And it's life outlasts the snow.

SAMUEL WHITE SMALL.
While the name of Sam Jones is on every
lip, the name of his able assistant is not so
we'll known, but he has made himself a
! factor in the work in which Jones is engag-
ed, and hereafter we will hear of Jones and
Small as we hear Of Moody and Sankey.
Moreover, Small is a convert of Jones, max
ing their collaboration still more interesting
than it would ordinarily be. Samuel w.
Small was born July 3rd, 1851, at Knox
Vile, Tennessee, and received his primary
education in that city, but graduated from
the High School, New Orleans. To finish
his education he was sent to Emory and
Henry College, in Virginia, and graduated
with high rank. Sans father was jour-
nalist, and in addition to this was rich and
influential. He was Superintendent of the
Southern Express Company and President
of the Texas Express Company. The wealth
| OF his father proved Sans bane. He was
| led into all kinds of eXcesses and spent
money faster than his father could make it.
| The young man started out in life as a law
yer and next became journalist. He was
of a rowing disposition and never stayed
long in one place, although his ability was
very marked. Taking up stenography he
became an expert at it. He has lived in
most of our large cities and spent some
years in Europe, where his fathers wealth
opened to him all avenues Of enjoyment
and dissipation. Under the nom de plume
of "Old ST." he won a reputation among
literary men and became an acknowledged
master of negro dialect humor. Under his
old pseudonym he is still writing for the
Atlanta Constitution. Physically he is
nonentity, or at least he seems to be, but it
is said of him that he can do more work than
those who seem in every way his superiors.
He not infrequently works all night and this
without apparent injury to his delicate
canditon. AS Sam Jones says, he is a
physical phenomenon. AS an orator he has
few equals and his speech on the floor of
the Chamber of Commerce of Cincinnati
isf spoken as model. He has wife and
four children.

THE FACES OF PRETTY WOMEN.

Great Demand for the Portraits OF
Handsome Americans.
There is a greater demand for the portraits
OF American society ladies at present than
have ever known before" said Broadway
dealer IN public characters to a reporter.
Cur own society ladies have always been
averse to having their pictures placed On
sale. any many have even refused to allow
them TO appear in our galleries for the III
spection Of an admiring public, despite the
pieadings of the artist, who appreciates their
value as draw card. But they have finally
concluded that there is no harm in it after
all, and besides that, it is rather English, for
their cousins across tho water Long since ap-
proved OF the distribution Of their captivat-
ing portraits, both in their country and
America. AIRS. Cleveland was really the
first to lead in this commendable movement.
and since then others have concluded that it
was eminently proper to follow her example,
Some are very particular as to who shall
have the sale Of their pictures Among the
pictures that l have a great call for are those

The reporter was shown some excellent Dor.
traits Of this lady, taken just before her re-
turn. There were at least twelve different
sittings and taken by as many different
artists. In two pictures in different attitudes
Mrs. Potter appears attired in ja,Inty

and a black and whito striped waist. Her
head reposes gracefully on her right hand,
which has hold of the yachts rigging. In the
other picture she is reclining in an easy chair

between her hands. She also appears once

LOUISVILLE, KY, June Mrs. Mary
Hughes, a young and pretty woman. hand
sOmely dressed, was presented to the court
upon the charge of grand larceny, preferred
by three or four different shopkeepers.
Three days ago Mrs. Hughes went into a
large retail shop OH Fourth avenue and
asked to be shown the novelties in silk
stockings. a shop girl saw her skillfully
conceal a pair of costly hose under the
point of her bodice and informed upon her.
When Mrs. Hughes left the store a detec-
tive followed. She went first to a level
er's and slyly stole three handsome rings
out of tray. Then she visited another
large shop and stole several yards of fine
lace. She was followed to her home at No.
634 West Chestnut street and arrested.
Upon searching her the police found inside
her hustle, which was hollow contrivance
of her own invention, with an opening
under fold of her overskirt,
three pairs of silk stockings, several
yards of fine lace, half dozen gold rings
and some other articles stolen from a drug
gist. She burst into tears and begged not to
be taken to jail. offering to fee the police
largely if they would let her go. Upon
being taken to police headquarters she gave
bond, with her brother, William Savage. as
her surety. The young lady comes from
good family in Marion county, and her
husband is an industrious young man.

has been carried on the synod, one party,
headed by Prof. f. A. Schmidt of Madison,
Wis, accusing the other party, headed by
Rev. V. koren of DEBORAH, Ia. of having
CalvaniStic views on this point At all
meetings OF the synod the doctrine has been
discussed, but harmony has not been res
tored as yet. The majority of the lay peo-
pie seem to side with Prof. Schmidt. while
the majority of the clergy seem to favor
the views of Rev. Koren. In some cases the
controversy has caused arupture in congre-
cations, the majority of the members siding
with Prof. Schmidt and depoSing their

Minnesota district the two parties are repre-
sented by Rev. b. j. Mus, Rev. NJ. 0.
Boekmann and Prof. T. MOhn, who agree
with Prof. Schmidt. and Rev. B. Harstad,
Rev. j. a. Thorsen and Rev. X. Biorgo,
who take the view held by Rev. Koren.
The present meeting is expected to bring
matters to crisis. 1t is reported that a
move will be made to remove the president,
Rev. B. Harstad, for refusing to ordain
candidates for. the ministry holding views
with regard to the doctrine in question
differing from his own. 1t is also stated
on good authority that party, with Rev.

question that the voters would accept the

of the South state machine dread nothing so
much as the former measure. They have no
confidence in their own statements that the
people would reject it. They rely upon their
partisans at Washington to prevent its SUBJ

A Republican club has been formed at
Huron for the purpose of promoting the in
terests of the party in congressional districts
in the states. This means to furnish the
stump speakers to overwhelm the Democrats,
because the Democrats in congress do not
