Mr.. KEIGWIN ON COXEYISM.
HIS INTERESTING SERMON AT WEST
CHURCH LAST NIGHT.

He Gives a Number OF New and Origi-
nal Ideas on the Coxey Movement
and Its IndlcatIons-It Means That
Great Change Is Impending.
AS announced, Rev. A. N. Kelgwin. Of
West Presbyterian Church, preached on
the subject, "Ooxeyism-What Does It
Indicator last night. In spite Of the
heavy storm, ;air-slzei audience was
present, and everybody felt we'll repaid
for Drawing the elements.
The sermon WAS from a combination
Of the three texts, "Let My people GO "
This thing is from Me- and And It
shall come to pass In that day that q
great tumult Of the Lord shall be among
them" The hrst two were explained as
being records Of petitions being presented
in bodies. In one the Jews went TO
Pharoah and the other 10 the son OF
Solomon and demand lower taxes The
last text is the prophesY of a great
tumult among the people during such a
time as is now being experienced.
Mr. Keigwin began his sermon by short
sketches of Coxey, Kelly and Frye, say.
ing that one is demanding good roads,
another demanding work, and the other
Populist movement. There are pro
fessional vagrants among Coxey's men,
the jackals Of society, who are always 20
be found in all great movements, but II
has been ascerteined by detectives that
the men are harmless, peaceful dreamers
These men are ragged csdaverous and hol
low-eyed. and are the subjects Of mirth
and derision, but the soldiers Of thil
country marched through Georgia IN
| legless trousers, half-starved and worse
looking than tramps The speaker said
| that he. himself, marched through Ala.
bsma in slippers. with blisters completely
covering his feet.
He said that the Coxey men should b,
regarded with admiration That mer
who will march 600 miles on foot
without food or shelter, in all sorts OF
weather, deserve sympathy rather thar
the jeers Of the American people. Thai
they are martyrs, ready TO ole for theil
cause good or bad
Coxeyism indicates a great socialist,
movement. Says Mr. Keigwin 1T il
the frOth Of the boiling cauldron o
socialism that is agitating the world.
He also says that it indicates that greR
changes are impending, but no man car
foretell what the change will be- Tha
IL indicates unrest OF the people will
politics. a growing want Of respect fo
the law, and discomfort with the gov.
ernment, as being slow and cumbersome
Il also indicates divine providence, thi
age being ripe for a new civilization
new order Of life, better times and the
universal reign Of Jesus Christ.

piled. Mr.. Abel made the boy get In
his carriage and asked him why he didn't
put on his gloves. The boy said he had
none. Mr.. Abel took his own gloves of

'The next morning he overlook the
boy and took him to the schoolhouse in
his carriage Noticing that the boy was
not wearing the gloves he inq uired what
had become of them. The little fellow
said they were too big for him snd he
had given them to his father That's
right, said Mr.. Abell and he gave the
boy dollar to get himself pair to fit
him.
'The boys parents were poor, but had
been In better circumstances From that
time Mr.. Abel never forgot the boy, but
