Increased Interest In the Work of
Establishing a Rescue Mis-
sion In Butte - Union
Meetings To-Day.

That there are many ladies in Butte
who are interested in the work of the
Florence home to be established in this
city was shown by the attendance at
the meeting yesterday afternoon in the
Auditorium for the purpose of organic
ing a rescue band Mr.. Morton pre-
sided and Rev. T. ii. Hicks was secre-
fary. Mr.. Morton explained the work
of the band and stated that 1t was to
act in conjunction with the home in
finding out the needy and deserving
cases and bringing them TO the home.

lowing ladies responded: Mrs. Il.

Resenor. At a meeting afterwards the

dent, Mrs. Faulkner; vice president,
Mrs. Wethey; secretary, Miss Resenor;
treasurer, Mrs. Slemmons.
Long before o'clock yesterday the
children were trooping towards the Au-
ditorlum from all parts of the city.
When the doors were opened they
poured in, and in a few minutes every
seat was occupied. Even the platform
was filled with children. Parents and
Sunday school teachers were there with
their various charges and the superin-
tendents of the various Sunday schools
were present In many cases the chill
dren were seated by classes, as in their
own Sunday schools. Rev. Mr.. Tabor
led in prayer and then Mr.. Crittenton
spoke to his Juvenile audience.
The evening meeting showed only In
creased interest. Every seat was occu~
pied. By reqeust Mr. Wallace sang
where Is My Wandering Boy To-
Night" The concluding refrain was
changed to Where is my wandering
girl tonight ?" the alteration evidently
suggested by the work of the rescue
mission. Mr. Carpenter was again the
speaker of the evening. After saying
that he expected a great many con-
versions next week, he read the de-
scription of the heavenly Jerusalem, as
we have IL in Revelation 21:23:24, And
ST. John saw the holy city, New Jeru-
salem. coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband, and ] heard a great
voice crying out of heaven, saying
Behold the tabernacle of God is with
men and he will dwell with them and
they shall be His people and God Him
self shall be with them and be their
God and God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying
neither shall there be any more pain
for the former things are passed
away"
Mr. Carpenter outdid himself on this
great subject and spoke with great
persuasive power There will be no
sickness nor pain nor death in heaven.
God Himself shall wipe away all tears
from our eyes. lie will not let even the
angel Gabriel do that. but Himself will
wipe away the tears. Suppose there
were a place somewhere in the world
where no one had ever been sick, nc
one had ever felt pain. no one had ever
died. how the people would flock to IL
Come home to heaven tonight. The
veil of mortality was drawn aside and
John saw the great multitude of the
redeemed who were the rich and fortu-
nate of the earth. oh, money cannot
buy heaven. Rich and poor may have
IL alike, and in the same way. That
great host was composed of those who
had washed their robes white i'm the
blood of the lamb. What a song was
that which John heard. i shall hear II
one day. Come home tonight.
The after meeting was by far tn,
best and most encouraging of the sea
son. The people were loathe to &c
away and apparently We're willing q
stay all night. So ends the first weel
of Butte's great revival. The anticipa
tions of the most hopeful have beer
exceeded. More than $50 have signed
the cards and there are many very
happy conversions At the request o
the pastors the evanEelists have con
sented to remain till Friday of thi;
week, and there will be meetings every
afternoon and evening in the Auditor
ium.
