THEY ALL STOOD UP
A Mighty Response to the Question
Put by DR.. Brown.
CROWDS AT THE REVEALS

A Communication.

The Brown revival service last night
had about the same attendance tnal
has held on night after night uurins
the weekly services. The supJect' ol
the address was Heaven. ana IL was
handled in DIR. Browns own pecuhaI
style, which was entertaining' II hoe
convincing, to all of his hearers, though
n would seem to have been both, Tor
when. at the close, he asked all VINO
wanted to go to heaven TO rise, tne
entire audience stood up.
: There are no sleeping cars on the
road to heaven. and every one VINO
goes has to stay awake all the way.
through Christ, who said, 4 am the
way"
Among those who are In heaven, ne
said are the martyrs and history says
there are millions of them. VINO are
the martyre? They are men VINO testi
fed for God. No man ever sunereo
nartyrdom who kept silent ana per-
,,itted those about him to go on In the
WAYS of sin without reproof and ao-
nonition. The devil does not desplse
the Christian who is out and out TOT
God and who speaks against dane
ing and the evils of the world; VINO
testifies for Christ, but he does despise
devil. Such a Christian Is no enemy OIL
Speaking further on the subject, DR..
Brown mentioned the Johns" or MS

John Wesley Of the Metnodists anu
John Knox of the Presbyterians.
."Thank God for the Johns, all OF them
except the Jimmy john. he exclaimed
"There are no Jimmy johns In heaven,
for the Bible says no drunkards shaii
enter there"

To the Editor of the Standard:
Ny work takes me all over the state
and in almost every place / meet the
Standard. II you deem IL best to pub
Iish this note / will appreciate II, as 1t
will be read very widely throughout
our state. 1t was my privilege TO spend
last Sabbath in your growing young
city and attend the union evangeiistic
services conducted by DIR. Brown OF
Morgan park, Chicago. Persons and
churches interested In Christian work
throughout the state inquire of me II
/ know anything of the meetings In
Anaconda With your permission
will answer these inquiries through
your columns:
The meetings are well attended. Sat-
urday night the Auditorium was three
quarters full, Sabbath morning at
o'clock there was a good attendance In
the Presbyterian church; at $3.50 o'clock
the Auditorium was about three
quarters full: Sabbath night the Audi
torium was filled to overfiowing. not
less than 800 present. The different
churches are working In seeming COR
diality and rallying round Dr. Brown
in loving enthusiasm. All the meet
ings / attended were intensely inter-
esting and profitable. The service Sab
bath evening was one of exceptional
power. All classes of citizens were rep
resented, a good deal more than hall
were men, and three-fourths of the
men were young men. For over two
hours that vast assemblage hung on the
earnest, plain and pungent words. Not
one left till the close. Not only was
there no disorder, there was no mat
tention. Surely this speaks strongly
not only for DIR. Browns hold on an
audience but for the character and in
telligence OF an Anaconda mass meet
ing.
The doctor uses none of the tricks
and flights OF the orator. His style IL
almost conversational. plain. logical
and scriptural, always clean and man
ly. often tender and touching. Truly
he uses great plainness of speech, calls
a spade a spade, and doubtless say:
things that do not please everybody
He is certainly at home in the WORD
of God. and uses the sword of the
Spirit as one accustomed to the Divine
weapon. The Christian people of Ana
