The revival meetings at the Methodist
church closed last Sunday evening. The
Rev. G.. NJ. Gibson, who has been with
the pastor for three weeks, left for his
home, in Glasgow on last Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. Gibson's work in the commun-
ity will be long remembered by those
who attended these services. without at
tempt at oratorical display, and without
anything either in his preaching, or his
methods which even bordered on the
merely sensational, and without any I'M
kind, or critical remarks concerning the
methods or the Wort, of other denomiua-
tions, he preached simply and powerfully
the doctrines emphasized by the metno-
dist church. the f%atherhood OF God, the
universal atonemeut made in Christ, Re-
pentance, Justification by Faith, the ne
cessity of regeneration, and the witness of
the spirit. Inc influence OF THESE strong
scriptural sermons will linger long in the
minds, not only of those who were led by
them to accept christ as a personal saw
Jour, but Of othors who heard, both among
the christians and the unsaved. The re-
suit Of the meetings, so far rs they can be
summed up, was about fifteen CONVEX
sions, ard thirteen additions To the
church. while perhaps twenty-five others
expressed a desire to lead Christian lives.
Many church members also were greatly
revived, and reconsecrated themselves to
Christ and His church. 1t was a source
Of much qualification to the pastor and
members Of the church, that among the
new converts there were several who were
very young in age as well as some who
were in middle life and even beyond.
Although the number OF conversions WINS
not SO large as was hoped for, yet it is
felt hat b meeting was in very many
respects a glorious success. 1t Is hoped
that one OF its results will be a continuous
revival spirit in the church. The pastor
intends to press the work along this line,
with the hope of protracting again at
some favorable time during h year.

The Dancing Needles,

In the show window of an opticians
shop on fremont street, Boston, is a
line of compasses which perform gyra-
tions marvellous to the lay mind, and
which incidentally afford an attractive
and mysterious advertisement for the
proprietor. They are to all appear
ances not connected with any source
of motion, and yet the needles move
all the time from right to. left, and
sometimes swing quite around the cir
Gle of their little boxes. The reason
is that the return current from the
trolley lines on fremont street exerta
an attraction on the compass needles
and causes the mysterious motions.-4

THE FARMER AND THE sA1ooy.

An Oklahoma letter to the Farm, Field
and Stoekman said /:
Our home has always been in the country,
and while total abstainer all through life
and Prohibft:onist in principle, we have
not SO much come in contact with the saloon
as those In the cities and towns, and have
always supposed their main support came
from the residents o. those places. But two
recent letters from one whose work is for
farmers, but presumably a resident OF a
Town, gives US an insight to the patronage OF
the saloon which, if true, is startling to us
We present extracts from these letters.
I'VE have three saloons in our town that are
kept up by our farmers, men that need every
cent they have to place on their farms.
Ihese saloons pay an enormous license and.
ot course, make it back from the poor
larmer. | have kept careful watch at times,
ana IND that nine-tenths otthe trade comes
from the country"
In another letter he says that an tad-
1itional saloon has been added, one for each
900 inhabitants of the town. The expenses,
licenses and rents of the places amount to
S640O per year before there is any money
coming in, and yet they seem to do so we'll.
and they all say they are making money of
the farmers. "Once in awhile they will
have an opening and give a glass of beer TO
any that apply and then these places are
crowded with people that need every cent
and that never read the papers, belong to no
agricultural or horticultural society, often
need good clothes, yet are the most blatant
reiormers we have.
ITO hear farmer bowling of hard times
AMI know that when he gets a dollar he
must put half Of il in the till OF the man that
Keeps the saloon, and to go to his home, find
tools over the fields rotting in the open air,
lot OF poor dunghill fowls roosting in the
stunted trees, his hali-starved COWS sheltered
by the bleak side OF a wire fence, this makes
me excessively weafS,r
I'VE got fifteen farmers out to the last
meeting OF the horticultural society. Last
night there was a boxing match at an old
saloon at fifty cents sight, and there was
scarcely standing room, and ''snide' auc-
tion will draw n crowd OF farmers, like tho
smell OF honey attracts some OF the bee
family, Is it not hard 10 explain these
