Meeting.
Especial to the PRESS.
Old Orchard, August S.-The services
of the Christian Alliance are now largely
devoted to the subject of missions Rev.
DR.. Wilson of NewYork is here, and with
DIR. Simpson will speak on the general
subject of missions tomorrow. DR.. Simp-

mission fields reached by the Alliance,
and show what is required of each Dr.
Wilson will speak on the true miss ion
idea, and then, after a general address
by DR.. Simpson, there will be presenta-
tion of the special needs of each ieid by
some one fully acquainted with the sub
ject.
Divine healing did not stop with last
Sunday evening. Every day there is one
or more brief services when the sick are
prayed for and annointed. Many cures
are reported Or. Simpson is now in the
habit of asking"at each meeting all who
have been healed since the meetings
opened here sthis time to rise,
stronger to say so The response is very
general and encouraging.
A case is reported where sight was re-
stored, and a woman who was cured
Sunday night of a paralyzed arm, said
today that 1t is entirely we'll
Dr.Simpson was deeply touched this
afternoon by being given IS for his mis-
sion work, thank offering of a young
girl who was entirely cured of blindness
last year at this place. She was perfect
ly sighrless when prayed for, and since
then her sight has been restored and
continues perfectly good.
While the workers will not give special
attention to divine healing, being en-
gagged In another branch of the work,
still all the sick who may be here in at
tendace on the meetings will be encour-
aged TO look to Christ as to the great
physician, and DR.. Simpson is looking
forward with great confidence to seeing
others cured. The attendance continues
very large, and the interest grows, rather
than lessons, from day to day.

The French Anarchists.

Paris, August S.-A bout the middle
of the safternoon, the pubic prosecutor
began to sum up the evidence against
the anarchist prisoners. He outlined the
general history of the anarchist move
ment. and traced the recent series of an
archistic crimes in France. He read
many extracts from La Revolte and
other anarchist journals to prove the
men behind the anarchist press had ex-
horted the people to commit crimes
and were themselves banded together
for criminal purposes. "Jean Grave and
Sea bstian Faure," said tine public prose-
cutor, "were leaders of this band of
malefactors Most of the other prisoners
were associated with Faure and Grave,
and the two leaders should suffer most
heavily. Their subordinates should be
let go with somewhat less rigorous
punishment. although none should be
spared the severe penalty of the law.
The prosecutor moved for a severe pun
ishment of all the prisoners, excepting
the four women and the italian Bellotti,
in whose cases extenuating circumstance
es should be considered.
