Munhall, the evangelist, for the splendid
success that attended the meetings held
in that city under his direction recently.
They note with an air of satisfaction
that his converts n Imbcr Goo The doc

bnt- Well, we are reminded of ali in
cldent that occurred ''back east" some
years ago. 4 distinguished minister had
held revival meeting, during which a
large number of persons professed con-
version. Not long after the meetings
were discontinued very jealous pro-
fessor, q member of another church,
pointed out to the minister O man on the
street staggering drunk and swearing
like trooper, and spoke Of him as one
of your converts" 'Ah, yes" replied
the minister, ''that is just like my
bungling work. If the Lord had con-
verted him he would not be in that con-
dition." For the sake of Atchison con-
verts it is hoped the work was not alto
gether DR.. Munhalrs, good and able a
man and evangelist as he is.

they are thoroughly dry. We will give
you 81 05 per pound therefor. OF course
we cannot undertake to receive them

lect them we will pay the freight on
them from Wichita to Washington.
Yours respectfully,

1t was just liz years ago Wednesday.
( the 18th, that the Continental congress
adopted the resolution that gave to this
country national emblem that has in
spired more unselfish patriotism, a
broader and more liberal national en-
thusiasm and more of the sentiments
that enOble ann enlarge humanity than
any other flag that ever huttered in the
free breezes of heaven. Here lie the reso-
luton:
THAT the flag of the thirteen United
states be thirteen stripes. alternate red
and white: that the union be thirteen
stars, white, in a blue field, representing
a new constellation.
In 1913 congress settled the mainten-
ance OF the fixed number Of union stripes
and the law Of growth Of the galaxy on
the blue background by passing this bill:
That from and after the fourth day Of
July naxt the flag Of the United States
be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate
red and White; that the union have
twenty stars, white In q blue field
That On tho admission OF every new
state into the union one STAR h aAded To
