ANOTHER GOSPEL WAGON.
First Appearances Oh Market Space
This Evening.

---------4--t
First Appearances On Market Space
This Evening.
For many years the Central Union Misst,n
has operated a gospel wagon, from which
open-air gospel services in every section
of the city have been held. At first they
used one of Knox's excursion wagons, but
afterwards the churches contributed funds
with which TO pay for awagon adapted to
the work. A wagon was built eight years
ago, which had a splendid history of work
accomplished, but was destroyed in the
great Knox fire year ago.
During the past winter another was con-
structed and dedicated to the service on
the first Sabbath in May, which has been
going out and holding six and seven meet
ings each week. But the calls for the
wagons services have come from every
quarter of the District, and one wagon
could not possibly meet the demands of the
community.
This condition coming to the attention
of Mr.. W. L. Bruen, he, with his usual lib
erality, ordered the construction OF gos-
pei wagon No. 2, which will be dedicated on
Sunday next. This wagon, which will
make its first appearance in Market Space
at 7:3O this evening, is a marvel OF sym
metry and beauty. 1t is twelve rect long
by five feet wide, accommodates sixteen
workers, is painted handsome oak color,
and bears the words on each side of ths
body, painted in large, conspicuous letters,
Central Union Mission" The chst OF the
wagon was $46O, bat this was exclusive
of the cost of handsome team and harness
and housing and keeping the same, and the
expense of driver.
1t is expected that great good VIII Dc
accomplished through this new agency, the
purpose being to keep 1t running every
night in the week. 1t will be manned by a
competent corpsof workers, men and women
consecrated to the service of the Lord, who
love souls better than their own ease and
comfort and gladly go forth to tell the lost
of "what wonderful Savior they have
found"
Great activity prevails among the work
ers at the main hall and branches OF the
Central Union Mission. open-air meet
ings are held either in Market Space or IN
front OF the auditorium on louisiana ave-
nue. every night in the week, ana large
audiences have attended the various evening
and MONDAY services. At the branches
open-air services are held before going
into the hall, and in many instances the
entire services are conducted outdoors.
The songs as they are sung outo On the even
ing air attract large crowds and many
gather to hear the gospel.
On the part of the people there appears
to be n real hunger for saliva ati"n, While
on the part of the workers there was never
more eager efforts to reach the unsaved
and bring. them to Christ.
Major Hilton, the evangelist, and Mr..
Curtis. of the Helping Hand Mission" of
Chicago, " i'll speak from the rev gospel
wagon at Market Space this evening.
After the usual gospel service in the audi
torium the wagon will carry the wnrkers

watched him with tired eyes. The
heavy, stentorious breathing and the pc
culiar blowing of the lips changed suddenly
to quick, convulsive struggle, and in an
instant both were by the bedside. Together
they watched and waited till the brief

She nodded without speaking, and he left
with CHEEKY 'Good-by," telling her to be
certain that the door was locked ere she left.
AS he went down stairs he said to himself
she was working too hard and needed a
cha uge, and made mental VOW to send her
with his next patient ordered to the sea-
side. She remained at the foot of the bed
till the heavy approach of the laundress
reused her, aud she went shuddering to
the chair, where she sat shading her face,
while the woman laid out the body after
the decent fashion of our people. When
she had gone she locked the door, Then
she pressed ~her hands over her eyes and
trembled slightly, remaining stin and
sOrrowing for some minutes. Presently
she went to the bed and, uncovering the.
face, bega q to smooth the hair from the fore

Harry, DEAR she whispered, "the
world could not divide us at the last,
though it is SO big. We are together,
you and 1, as we used to be in the be-
ginning. Do you mind, now that you
know that I am with you? You are not
angry, dear, because after all these years
God has let ME see you again and call you
by your name, and-oh-yes"-
She bent to kiss him, but shook her head
sadly instead, and knelt by his side.
Let ME talk to you just as il it were
the same again, as il nothing had hap
pened, and We were boy and girl once
more. 1 won't say anything about her to
make you angry. i won't remember it,
and you must forget, too. Can you forget,
I wonder? Do you forget now? You for
got me while you were alive; are you
forgetting her, now you are dead?"
The tears gathered In her eyes and she
sobbed softly. She looked into the white
face and said quickly:
"But / wont ask you to forget, Harry.
I won't ask It; it isn't mine to ask. It was
all mistake, dear, and we have both suf-
fered; perhaps she has suffered too. 1t was
