AT THE PAVILION
Evangelist Munhall's Services Are
Largely Attended

The Munhall meetings at the pavilion
opened at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Birch led the music with the cor
net. Before the sermon DR.. Munhall
called the roll of states for representa-
tives in the audience. and every state in
the Union responded except Arkansas,
also several foreign foreign countries.
including Turkey. While the offering
was being taken Prof Birch rendered
cornet solo, The evangelist spoke from
Acts XVI. :2S-"Almost thou persuadest
me to be a Christian"
This occasion which was offered Paul
to defend himself before royalty was a
splendid one, and the apostle to the
Genties, although in chains. stood forth
every inch a hero. There is as good a
chance TO become a hero in this city as
anywhere p the world-only be true to
God and your own conscience and work
in Gods vineyard and you will succeed.
This man Paul was no mere man, he
was Jew by birth and education. He
was the youngest member of the Sanhe-
drim; he was preferred above many of
his brethren, and he had given up all
to follow the meek and lowly Nazarene.
The krg knew the fibre of the man.
Christ says: IF ye will not believe
me, believe me for my works sake" and
as Paul in his eloquence discoursed upon
the works, and sacrifice of the Son of
God, King Agrippa, moved by his words,
exclaimed: Paul. almost thou persua-
dest me to be a Christian"
No one can tell the drawing power of
Jesus Christ. He was despised and re-
jected, without reputation. and died ig-
ANONYMOUSLY on the croes, and his death
gave power and hope to the cross, and
it is the one emblem above all other
which is revered throughout the world
If you are willing to yield yourselves to
the spirit of Jesus, He will draw you to
Him. Don't resist the Spirit; it seeks
to win you from sin and danger. The
Holy Spirit of God is striving with you
today. Yield yourselves to its influence
and be saved.
IN THE EVENING
The pavilion was filled in the evening.
The evangelist spoke from the text
In whom we have redemption through
His blood" Jesus Christ was born of
the Holy Ghost, promised from the foun-
dation of the world, in whose blood we
have redemption. AS, to the method of
rede emption, the sinner is to be saved
through the death of Christ; the saving
! is secured through His life. The sinner
must get salvation al the cross or he
will never get it. Jesus died for US; He
shed his blood for our redemption. In
the first place it ie a finished work. h
is the propitiation for sins, and not only
ours, but the sins of the whole world.
Next, it is a perfect work. Jesus Christ
made a perfect sacrifice for our redemp-
ton.
The evangelist held the vast audience
in perfect silence during the delivery of
his sermon There were at least 2506
present, 1000 remaining during the after
meeting.

is reasonable doubt of O'Neils guilt.
because it was not proven at the trial that
Mrs. MoCloud was murdered. He heard
all the evidence and is thoroughly con
WINGED that the state failed to prove this
fact. He feels that the doubt is so strong
that it would be unjust to hang O'Neil,
however, conclusive might be the proof
Of his connection with the crime. The
doctor is considered very good au-
thority and considerable weight must
therefore be placed In what he says.
The evidence which DIR. Woodbridge
will present is startling in its nature and
he claims conclusive. 1t ID especially
sensational because at the trial the theory
that it was a. murder was hardly ques.
toned. 1t does not attempt to show that
Mrs. McCloud was not murdered, but il
does show almost absolutely that she
might have died a natural death under
all the circumstances which We're shown
at the trial 1t then shows that the state
did not introduce any proof to make II
certain that she did not die from such
natural cause.

But Emperor of China is Worrying Just
Now About an Eclipse of the Sun.
Washington, Decem Der 29.-The State
Department has just received a copy of
the recent curious decree issued by the
Emperor OF China to fend off the wrath
of Providence az Indicated in the eclipse
predicted for New Years day. The docu-
ment is pronounced by experts to be q
masterful exhibition of typical Chinese
craftsmanship in view of the existing
critical condition of affairs in the
Celestial empire. The decree reads as
follows:
According to the Chun Chiu (spring
and autumn annals) it has been stated
that an eclipse OF the sun on the Hr3t day
of the year betokens an impending
calamity, hence the sovereigns of every
dynasty which has preceded us have al
ways made point whenever an eclipse is
prognosted to undergo self abasenlent
and humble themselves before heaven in
order to avert the wrath from above. In
the case of our own imperial dynasty, for
instance, during the reigns of their
majesty's Kang Hsi, and Chen Lung,
(l662) ara there were observed two
eclipses of the sun which fell on a New
Years day, and now according to the
board of astronomy the first day of the
24th year of our reign (22nd January,
1s98) there will BIZ yet another eclipse Of
the sun. We are filled with forebodings
at this news and hasten to seek within
ourselves for sins which may have thus
