nIu iol nave u penny Ill ms pDCl-ct.
Ihere were some of the latter present,
the speaker affirmed. judging from the
collection. Mr.. Love said in part:
IN TINS age OF corner. combine ana
trust and monopoly. YOU can't corner
air; you can't corner water; YOU cent
corner sunshine; YOU can't corner saliva
ton. l am glad that no man nor set of
men can monopolize salvation. 1t is as
free as air. sunshine or water
1t is hard to be Door when there is
SO much money in New Ymk. it is
hard to need clothes when the mafLfac-
turcrs have them in sucr ahundar &c:
II Is hard to starve when food is being
used as fuel. but to he thirsty v hen
springs of pure, crystalline water are
all around, then 1t is pitiaolc indeed
TO be dying for water wren great
streams go rushing by is more pitiablc
still. Salvation is free. and pcrmeates
every part of this globe. There IS no
price. no monopoly. Why not accept
it?"

The revival will probably continue this
week and next.
