In the morning he preached at
the State Line Methodist church
not near all the people could get in
the building, and many stood up on
the outside and heard his burning
words. His theme was Christian
Unity, and his exhortatiou for all
good people to stand squarely to-
gether, seemed to touch re-
sponsive cord in his hearers,
At night an immense congrega-
tion assembled at the Tabernacle on
State Line Avenue, to hear the
eloquent divine, who is so earnestly
engaged in the work of saving mems
souls; some estimate the number at
1000, while others say there were
present not less than 100. The
evangelist chose for his subject
Restitution, taking number of
passages of Scripture for texts,
Begun by saying: Friends, Sam
Jones never made a statement that
got nearer me than this All a
preacher has to do to get next to
him is, 1st.-Does he know what he
is talking about? End Does he live
up to his preaching? 3rd,-Is he
after my good? l certainly can
answer as fitting those propositions,
as / followed along the devils road.
Told how he acted when a mer-
chant, was too busy then he
thought to serve God; finally failed
in business and later on lost his
Job as a clerk; then turned to God
and was converted. But the peo-
pie be had swindled had no use for
him or faith in his conversion; told
how he and his wife concluded to
sell off all the carpets and fine fur
nishings as well as the house and
lot to make Restitution" pay of
debts, and all this only paid off %
cents on the dollar Of them; how he
gave his notes for the rest and
finally paid off every cent Dwelt
upon the hardship endured, at the
time, but they were blessings to
him and his wife. No man can be
Christian and cheat or swindle his
felowman out of anything-God
demands that Restitution" be
made for every cent wrongfully
taken. You old thief Who do you
beat? Isn't it your best friends
that give you credit? Our enemies

government is about $265, 900,

robbed Uncle Sam, and then been

rather live in the lowliest hovel in a
back street with clear conscience
than to own the biggest mansion
and business in town without one.
Abe Muley feels sorry tor the man
that wants to pay his debts and
can't, but how horrible must be the
life of the man that hides his money
from his creditors. Mrs. Mulkey
then say beautiful song, and the
audience listened breathlessly, many
with tears in their eyes,
As a result OF the meeting five
people have already joined the
church, two yesterday morning and
three last night, tits predicted that
a grand revival meeting will soon
be in full blast.
We understand that several mer-
chants present were so highly
pleased with the sermon last night
that they said they would each
give $40 to hear it repeated.
Abe Mulkey is certainly stirring
up the town-go out and hear him
tonight.
