Ed. RegiSter-In your issue of last week
there was paragraph to the following eff
feet: at is thought that a revival would be
timely, as the crop of sinners is quite la rge."
We are glad to give you credit for uttering
so great a truth, even though there may have
been trace of testing in the utterauce. We
take the hint, and act upon it, though we
have had the same conviction for a good
while. Therefore, in order that God may be
gloritied in harvesting and gardening the
"crop of Sinners" we began last night meet
ings for prayer and conference at the Meth
odi>t Episcopal Church, to continue every
night this week and, possibly, next week
also. There will be very l:ttle preaching, if
any; SO that larger opportunity will be ex-
tended to all persons to participate who
really desire the highest spiritual interests
for every member of the community; the
highest spiritual interests of the people are
equivalent to their highest temporal inter-
ests; we need not iilate on this proposition.
We hope this will not be considered by the
community an exclusively Methodist meet
ing; an invitation is extended to all Christ
ians who love the advance ment Of the Re-
deemer's kingdom to join with us heart and
hand. If it results in the turning of many
to righteousness" aIl.the churches will ben
Gifted by it.
We agree with you that there Is great
degree of Sabbath Dissertation, which dis
honors not only our Gre ator, but also very
greatly dishonors us as a community. Even
some of those who are members or adherents
of the various churches are not free from
cen>ure in this respect. We heartily thank
you, Mr.. Editor, for squirting us to our
duty, and we h pc you will still further
manifest your interests in the religious well
fare of the city by coming to the meetings
yourself and bringing the "boys" of the
REGISTER office with you. A hearty well
come awaits you. Respectfully,
ISAAC BORIS, Pastor NJ. Z. Church.

of the State. We can point with
pride to the advancement made
in the last two years, but it is on
ly a beginning Of what must be
done in order to show to the
world our now hidden wealth.
There is not a locality in the
State which has, as yet, been full
ly developed, and the people
should shake off the. lethargy
which has heretofore kept them
silent, and, let the world know
something Of the peculiar advan-
tages which they can offer to per-
sons in search of permanent
homes. We are not so much in
need of capital as we are of men.
Sober and industrious citizens
are needed to open up our vast
wilderness, to till our soil, and to
plant orchards and vineyards up
on our hillsides. Logan county
needs more than ten times the
population which she now has. In
a few years mining towns and
timber camps will be found ev-
erywhere along the line of the
Norfolk & Western railroad,
which runs for more than sixty
miles through the county. With
a proper tilling of our generous
soil we can furnish all Of the
food supplies which will be need
ed by the labor then brought in
to the county, but in order to do
it we must have a large increase
in our farming population. Small
farmers and experienced truck
gardeners are in demand, and We
can offer them cheap farms, pure
water,a generous soil, and a gen
ial climate. Come in and possess
the land at once.

Henry s. Walker. the matchless
orator, the polished gentleman
and the loyal friend is dead.
West Virginia is in mourning.
An eloquent voice has been still
ed, and heart devoted to the
best interests of the State has
ceased its beatings forever.
sx On last Saturday evening in
city Of Philadelphia his soul left
its tenement of clay and return
ed to his Father and his God.
No public man in West Vir-
ginia was better known than Hen
nv s. Walker. Born at Winches-
ter, Virginia, in May, 1910, his
early training was among peo-
pie renowned for their devotion
to the principles of individual
sovereignty, and at period when
the nature and spirit of our, Gov
eminent was freely discussed in
every household. Graduating at
w Washington College, Pa, in 1863
he at once entered the political
arena. In 1854 he took charge Of
a paper al Clarksburg, and
through its columns the people OF
the State became acquainted with
his dazzling intellect. In 1865
he took charge Of the Wheeling
Register, and in 1870, removing
to Charleston, he established-the#
Courier, which soon became the
leading paper of the State. In
1858 he was the Democratic can
1idate for Congress in the first
district, and in 1875 was a promi-
nent candidate for United States
Senator.aapIn 1878 he joined the
Greeuback movement and was
the candidate of that party for
Congress in 1878 and 1880, being
defeated by Senator Kenna. In
1881 he returned to the Demo
cratic party and was Secretary of
State from 1885 to 1890, at which
time he retired from the arena Of
partizan politics, and bent all his
energies to the building up of the
waste places Of the State, and
was in Philadelphia on business
connected with the interests Of
the Kanawha valley when he was
stricken down.
