EvANGELIsTIc MEETING CLOSED
About 400 Persons Signed the
Card,
NJ Desire Henceforth to Live a
Christian Life"

The meeting which began at the
First Presbyterian church on the
18th inst, conducted by Rev. w. f..
Biederwolf, of Indiana, closed on the
Goth inst, after being in progress
eleven days, resulting in nearly
four hundred persons signing card
indicating that they desired to live
christian lives. The greater part
of this number were persons whose
names were on the church rolls, and
is evidence that the church people
have desire to be right before
God. With the churches thorough
ly consecrated to their work the
strongholds of sin can not stand.
1t is really encouraging to see
christian people rallying to their
standards and had Mr.. Biederwolf
accomplished nothing more, his
would have been great work. Mr..
.Biederwolf is a young man, %
years old, an earnest worker, fluent
and forcible, and while he came
without an established name with
which to draw, his earnest, pathetic,
soul-stirring appeals brought a
large hearing, and at his closing
exercises the Opera House was not
large enough to accommodate the
eager crowds.
His meetings for Sunday School
workers, Sunday School scholars
.sand men only were truly beneficial,
Md at these meetings seed were
sown which will bring forth fruit
many days to come. All christ
ians rejoice that Mr.. Biederwolf
was directed to this place, and their
best wishes and prayers will follow
him in other fields of labor.
We can not close this notice
without saying that much of the
success of this meeting was due to
1 the labors of Rev. A. j. Arrick, pas
tor Of the First Presbyterian
Church, his congregation and the
players and cooperation of mem
bers Of the other churches of our
city. mfr. Allison, conducted
the singing, and from the very be-
ginning had large choir under
his charge, will not be forgot
ten as a sweet spirited singer and
: who added much to the delightful
services.
AS result of these series OF
meetings, there were ON Sunday
three additions to the Baptist
Church, ten to the First Presbyter-
ian Church and eighteen to the
Southern Presbyterian Church.

Into the Ministry.

Judge ID. B. Garrison, who lived
here some years since and who has a
host of warm friends and ardent ad-
mirers among us is now located at Col
fax, Washington. Since Mr.. Garrison
left us he has entered the ministry,
As an evidence that he is doing some
excellent work we clip the following
from letter written by one of his
congregation to the Pacific Christian.
The writer says:
"Tbe church, under the wise manage
mant Of Bro. d. 3. Garrison, with
the hearty cooperation Of the mem
bers, is steadily growing in numbers
and in grace. We have for some time
been learning more and more about
true Christian love; and in our APP
plying it constantly to our every
action, we have either converted the
old time complainers or made COM
muniOn so sweet that they were 10th
TO seek battlefield elsewhere. For
some time every branch of the church
has glided TRANQUILITY Oh TO the glory
flying of God and the strengthening of
the members. We are preparing to
observe Mission Day as a solemn &C.
casion, as it is to obey one of the
foremost commandments OF Christ,
"Love thy neighbor as myself" We
demand share of the harvests from
our rented lands; so does God de-
mand just little from the abundance
which we receive from His hand.
And we will try to pay this honest
debt"

The Supreme Court decided yes
terday against the L. & N. in it's
attempt to purchase tn G. q 0. and
S. w. Railroad, confirming the
opinion of the Kentucky Court of
Appeals.
"The constitution of Kentucky,
Recently adopted, prohibits pur-
chase under such conditions, and
the suit as originally brought by
the Commonwealth of Kentucky
asked for an injunction against
such proceeding, involving the con-
stitution. The Kentucky court
granted perpetual injunction.
When the case was taken to the
Kentucky Court of Appeals, the de-
cision of the Court below was
affirmed. The case was brought to
the United States Supreme Court
by the railroad company upon a
writ of error, the company alleging
an entire disregard of the provis-
ions of it's charter granted by the
State in 1860, long prior to the
adoption of Kentucky's present
constitution which in explicit terms
without saying anything ubout par
allel lines, gave the right to spur

ed by another company" The
State court held that the State had
right to repeal or modify the
charter. The United States Su-
preme Court as one ground of its
opinion declared that the G. & o.
and S. w. under it's charter had no
right to sell to a competing COM
pany.

The farmers of this county are un-
usually backward with their spring
blowing. A comparatively small
amount of sod land has been plowed
as yet and almost no fullow land
broken. A fair amount of tobacco
beds have been planted but not nearly
so many as were to be seen year ago.
The prospects seem to be that small
er acreage Of tobacco will be set out
in this county this season than for some
years past. The planters having
been losing money on their tobacco
for couple of years past and are
naturally getting little tired of it.

in two games on the Pythian Hall al
leys, and the fact that they Were at

ons are undoubtedly a team of clever
bowlers, and whether it be at home or
abroad they always manage to put up
a clever score. Last night was no ex-
ception. The Clintons rolled steadily in
the opening match and were well be-
yond the LOO average at the close, but
it was in the second game that the large
crowd of spectators saw what the team
is capable of. and the visitors turned
the 300 mark and incidentally beat the
best record OF the season for the alley.

were beaten at the start. They lacked
