RIGHT WITH GOD.
Strong Doctrine for Saints and
Sinners.

Mr.. Bell, the Evangelist, Does Not
Believe In Halfway Religion.
stirring Up the Methodist
Church.
The revival meetings now in progress
at the M. E. church have resulted in
the conversion of quite number of young
folks who have been under conviction for
some time. Mr., Bell, the evangelist, does
not pretend to deal with abstruse theologi-
cal propositions, but aims, in a plain,
straightforward way to present the truths
of the gospel to his hearers To this end
he relates incidents of an interesting nature
about the conversion of persons who have
come beneath his notice. Mr.. Bell is fear
fully plain-spoken in his preaching, but at
the same time does not "rasp" people or
deal in sensationalism.
"If the shoe pinches," said he in his dis
course last night, ''it is because there is
something the matter with the foot"
He aims particularly to arouse the pro-
fesstng Christians to active, aggressive
work by telling them plainly what they
have neglected to do.
II don't preach to empty benches very
/ long. You may make out of that what
/ you please.
He said this while speaking of the prob
able length of his stay in Olympia.
| Monday night he had every Christian in
the house at the altar seeking heart purity
and making consecrations to Christian ser
vice. He urges the church members to
GET RIGHT WITH GOD
as well as persons not church members.
Persons within the fold of the church who
have become cold and lukewarm are
stirred up so it is impossible for them to
| keep still.
That the spirit of revival is taking deep
hold is evidenced by the actions of young
men who leave the house in a hurry when
/ Mr.. Bell draws the line between the con-
verted and unconYerted and makes his ap-
peal to the latter.
A well known young man was converted
last night who has been guilty of "run-
ming" more than once.
81 never felt happier in my life,' he ex-
claimed earnestly while the young folks oil
the church crowded around him at the
close of the meeting to extend the hand oi
fellowship.
A young lady of unusual strength Of
character was converted Monday night and
is now taking part in the meetings.
A marked feature of these special meet
ings is the Bible reading each afternoon
conducted by Mr.. Bell. They occur from
3 to 4 O'Clock and are open to ihe public.

ALMOST COLLIDED.
A Dangerous Railroad Crossing at
PerCiYaPs Creek.
The EastbOund Overland Train
Comes within Six Feet of Crash
into the Port Townsend South

The EastbOund Overland Train
Comes Within SIX Feet of Crash
into the Port Townsend South
ern's Train.
The passengers on the Port Townsend
train had narrow escape from a collision
with the east-bound Northern Pacific as it
rounded the curve at the junction
of the two roads on Tuesday after
noon. The crossing is probably the
most dangerous point on the road. The de-
scent from the roadbed along the Percival
creek to the trestle across the bay, is very
steep, and only the greatest precaution
can be observed to prevent accidents. The
rules require each train to stop 200 feet
from the crossing, and blow two whistles.
Theon blowing first has the right of way,
and proceeds. With a close observance of
these rules an accident would be impos-
sible.
When the Port Townsend train started
out yesterday it consisted of two passenger
coaches and five fiat cars, She stopped and
blew two whistles as required, and hearing
no response, pulled ahead. The Port
Townsend train was just half way across
the Northern Pacific track, when the pas.
sengers were horrifed to see the Northern
Pacific train carrying eight or ten heavy
cars, laundering down the grade. Both
engines blew their whistles. The Port
Townsend train came to standstil, and
the Northern Pacific whistled for the all
brakes. One passenger on the Port Town
send train ran for the door and Jumped to
the mud flats, distance of about twelve
feet below. Another, in his excitement.
made for the rear door of the passenger
coach and never stopped running until he
had reached the end of the five fiat cars.
1t was almost miraculous escape, fol
when the Northern Pacific engine came tC
a standstill it was within six feet of the
Port Townsend Southern coach. Just
where the responsibility for the close cal
should be placed is question. 1t is sale
that the brakes on the Northern Pacific
could not be controlled in time to admit O
a stop 200 feet back, while on the othel
hand the Port Townsend Southern people
say that they heard no response to thei
whistle. The curve is walled and hidder
by high bluffs, which makes it impossibl,
to foresee danger.
