promote the interests of labor, and in
the past its management has been con-

on occasions where that quality was re-

public confidence in the fact that

unknown to the police department Of
st. Paul and the Sheritf's Office OF

But it seems that the new fields were

turbable temper, and takes his fate as
coolly as if he were going to a o'clock
dinner.
A day or so ago one of the attaches of
the sheriff's office was surprised to hear
from the fellow, and the letter is worthy
of reproduction. 1t said:

HUNT KEVIVAr..
First Baptist Church Filled Last
Night

There was full house at the First
Baptist church last night to hear Evan
4 gelist Hunt speak on Salvation" He
took for his text the question asked by
the Phiiippian jailer, as recorded in
Acts xvi, 80, 81: what must l do to
be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved.''
He said: The subject tonight is SAL
walton. Salvation from what? Howe
When and for what? The word saliva
tim" means little or nothing TO many,
and to some it means everything, and
ranged between these two extremes we
find all classes of opinion regarding it.
Salvation must have meant something
to this Phiiippiau jailer, for he wanted
1t very much. 1t was not fear that made
min want it. He wanted that viii Gu
he saw in the lives of these men
in his prison, Paul and Silas. He
was used to hearing men in their
circumstances cursing the gods who
made them and the men who put them
there, but these men were engaged in
prayer and thanksgiving, and he wanted
the power which enabled them to do
which led the thief on the cross to ask
the Saviour to remember him, when he
came into His kingdom. Paul and Silas
were to him living epistles; he read
them and wished to be like them. To-
day we need more CT these living epis-
ties; when we have them we shall have
more crying out like this Philippian
jailer: What must do to be saved?"
The answer came very quickly, and
these were the words: believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved" To some Christ is dead. but to
Paul he was living reality. As soon
as the words were spoken they were re-
ceived and followed.
l do not believe that any man has
commenced to live until he has received

come to him tonight? At the close of
the service several rose for prayer, and
a large number stayed TO the after
meeting.

evening this week except Friday and

STREET CAR COLLISION.

Ono Man Knocked Sense!ess-In.
jury Not Serious.
A serious accident was averted on
the street car line near Lake Como last
evening more by good fortune than
good management. About o'clock
two cars going around the curve near
the park were running near together.
The car in front stopped to let people
Off. and car coming behind was run
ming so rapidly that it could not be-
stopped i'll time to prevent collision.
The people became frightened on the
front car, and began to jump off. One
man in jumping got the force of the
collision and was turned a somersault,
bruising him up badly. He was. taken
home i'll carriage in a semi-conscious
condition.
