The evangelist preached from the text.
Exodus xxxii:2 :26. .Who Is on the Lords
side ?" He defined them as follows: "a
That man who practically acknowledges
God: as the only Lord; who says. Lord,
shew me thy will and will 10 it," (2) The
man who practically acknowledges Gods
book as the truth. (3) The man who prac-
:tically acknowledges Gods son as the son
OF God and his personal savior. a. The
man who practically acknowledges GODS

He spoke OF human lde being protected
and purity respected wherever there was

known. Men whs have the confidence of

Christ.
''Men and women" he said, "your deci-
sion is being made tonight for God or
against him, for life or for death, for bless

BILLY JORDAN NOT THERE.

Had there been enough patrons present
to pay expenses last night Tom Maguire's
grand humping tournament at Irving Hall
would not have caused that gentleman the
pain 1t did. As it was Mr. Mcguire was
lnexpressibly grieved, but still he couldn't
kick. He sailed in and boxed three rattling
rounds with Joe Scott. champion one-legged
pugilist OF the north, much to the delight of
the spectators.
Mr.. Mcguire is the champion one-legged
thumper of the Pacific Coast. His right leg
has been removed as close up to him as il
was possible to perform the operation and
take nothing but leg, yet he caa make 1t
lively for man who has legs and to spare.
The benefit was grand success in the
line Of pugilistic events. not the least of
which was the set-to between the legless
scrappers. At one time there were more
lighters than spectators in the house.
The place was alive with the BiIlies, and
Spiders, and Jimmies, and TOmmies of the
roped arena. There were so many that they
had to take turns at the dressing-roOms.
All told the programme called for 90 bouts
between gentlemen more or less famed in
the knockout business, but few of them
responded. There was also to be a grand
wrestling match between Joe Acton and
Professor j. Clark, but both these ilIustri-
Gus athletes sent regrets.
Many were grieved as well as panied at

Explains tbs STANDARDIZATION Not
Yet Settled.

The wonderful impetus given 10 the cause
Of morality and religion by the revival ser
ices conducted by Rev. B. Fay Mills will
not be allowed TO retrograde. There is a
general determination among the allied
churches to do something to keep alive the
Christian spirit among the citizens of this
great city.
How best TO do 1t was the question. They.
were considerably helped in coming to a
decision by c. \. Crittentop, the millionaire
evangelist
1t Will be remembered that MI Crttenton
on January l last became connected with
the Pacific Rescue Home, which was then
changed to the Florence Crittenton Home
II is almost impossi bic to over estimate the
great good done by this home for fallen
women and other unfortunates in bringing
them away from their evil ways into paths
of ighteousness.
The thought struck Mt. Cdttenton that
he could continue his good woIk in other
Ways by helping to establish a large mission
house, similar TO the Florence night mis- sions
in New York. Therefore. the pastors aud
other Christian workers of the allied
churches found 10 him ready and sympa-
thetic friend.
Mr.. Cfittenton was seen last night by a
reporter Of The CALL at the Palace Hotel
He was asked 10 explain tie proposed
scheme, and said In reply: I'VE intend TO
erect large building for mission work in
some central place in the city. The exact
location is not yet definitely fixed upon, but
viii be soon. The idea is to have mission
services for the 365 days in the year, or, in
other words, TO have a perpetual revival
