Methodist Church.
WHAT THE MEETINGS MEAN
ReViVa1S Divided Into
Three Classes.
Excitement not Wanted - Lasting
Influence of Religious
Spirit.

The opening revival service at the
Methodist Church was held last even
ing. Rev. Joseph H. Smith read as
the lesson for his opening service Acts
2:1-21; 37-47. and took for his text
Acts PIP, What Meaneth This?"
Mr.. Smith called attention to the fact
that God is continuously using reviv-
ais. both in the natural and spiritual
life. Revivals are not only used of
God for the resuscitation of declining
forces, but also are used for the ad-
vancement Of work that is fairly pro-
gressive. Revivals may be artificial,

Lamp novelties are new to
HOnOlulu--neW to the Unit
ed States until a smart
Frenchman employed at the
factory conceived the idea
of building for oil what 9TH
erS had done for candles.
Look at the illustrations in
the accounts of swell din
nerS and you will find beau
tifully designed candlabras
"a year ago they were for
candles - now for lamps.
You will find the same thing
in our Eva window and no
other shop has them--no
other dealer handles them as
we do, because our buying
methods are modern. Sos
our selling methods. You can
get a banquet candalabra
lamp at our store for about
what you pay for a single
burner in some places. That's
the difference in the me-
thOdS.
You are interested in those
lamps even if you burn cleo
tricity - the table can be
decorated with flowers and
lampS--disheS come under
the head of necessities"
Half the pleasure of night
wheeling is in having a good
lamp. Policemen are alert to
find a man taking a dark ride
sometimes the light joltS
out and the rider finds him
self without a match. No
such trouble with the
Banner bicycle lamp--it is
made to burn and stand hard

Then although there were scoffeTs. as
there viii always be. still the Church
had favor with the people
Pentecostai revivals are continuous
revivals- @Mer were added TO the
Church daily" It is not my ambition
TO have a great excitement, but TO
leave the churches of the city with a
constant revival in progress. This they
will have il baptized with the Holy
Spirit. Let US now pray for such a
revival. What does a PentecOStal re-
vival mean TO the Christian? II does
not mean the beginning of his spirit
ual life. for the 120 who were baptized
were already close disciples of Christ.
They had actual salvation: they had
doctrine. The fact that you have a
religious experience may mean moth
ing more than that you are only can
didate for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
II does not mean to the Christian the
climax of growth. The disciples had a
most blessed growth in grace after
they were baptized with the Holy Spir-
il. Purity does not mean maturity. II
does not, in other words. mean the
completion of the Spiritual life.
Hugh Price Hughes says that the
main effect of the baptism with the
Holy Spirit was the Divine courage
supplied. How many OF our defeats
we may trace TO the lack of Christ
like courage. Animal courage will not
suffice for Spiritual conflicts. The bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit enables us to
be true-it comprehends Spiritual lib
erty. eye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Spirit is come upon you.
All were asked to pray. Father. give
me the Holy Spirit for Jesus sake
The meeting ended with an altar
service, in which many took part.

Extremity of LoUaItU.

Loyalty will sometimes induce
strange sacrifices. If we are to believe
a serious contemporary, there was a
member of parliament at the Windsor
garden party whose devotion to the
crown carried him far. When the serv-
ants handed round gold-tipped cigar
cites, this legislator took one and es-
sayed to light it. His wife, standing
by, reproved him with connubial So
licitude and candor. you know, DEAR
she said, you never can smoke without
being very sick" But the member of
parliament was not to be deferred. If
my queen he nobly answered, Invites
NE to smoke, / will smoke, cost what
il may" The name of the loyal legis-
lator has not been recorded, nor his
subsequent proceedings that eventful
afternoon. We hope his wife got him
home safely.-St James Gazette.

Charlotte VOTERS Voice

When Charlotte Wolter, the great
German actress, who died recently in
Vienna, began her stage career, her
voice was disagreeable, harsh, hesitat-
ing and girlish. From that same throat
proceeded a few years later a voice such
as has never before or since been heard
on the German stage, metallic and full,
so charming, so intensely affecting.
Now the listeners ear reveled in the
sweetness of her tones, now it was car
ried away by their irresistible force.
The "Wolter-schrei'' (Wolter cry) is a
new German word, coined expressly to
designate the expression of the utmost
horror, terrible cry, piercing to the
very marrow in ones bones, which she
uttered in Goetae's "Goetz Won Ber-
lichingen. st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

On a quiet thoroughfare off st.
Charles there might have been seen dur
ing the heavy rain the other afternoon
shaggy Newfoundland dog carrying
a spread umbrella in his mouth, his drip
ping tail sticking out from under and
wagging complacently. Investigation
revealed the fact that there was little
girl under the umbrella with the dog, her
tiny arm thrown around his neck, and
the two tripping along most amicably
"My name is Marie said the little
maid, upon being questioned, land this
is Beauregard, my very own dog. Yes,
Beaury goes to school with me. go to
the kindergarten, you know, and he al
ways carries the umbrella if it's rain
ing, because I canhs you see, and he
can."-N. o. Cor. Philadelphia Times.

Medical Reform in China.

China has long been the stronghold
of barbarous and complicated civiliza-
ton. AS an empire she has cultivated
customs permeated by the most ride
ulous superstitions known to mankind.
The frailty of scientific foundation, in
fact, that lies at thefoot of their supreme
ly clever ignorance, is especially con-
spicuous in the art of medicine. Chinese
practitioners, it is well known, dose
their patients with wasps' nests, ele-
plants skin, and every kind of filth
and abomination. But signs are not
wanting that a huge wave of reform is
about to sweep over the medical world
of China. In other words, the Chinese
are beginning to recognize the SUI
periority of western medicine. The
process of adoption is likely, however,
to be slow, although the government
has officially signifed, from time to
time, its approval of the medical prac-
tice of the foreign devils. In China, So
cial reforms spread from the throne
downwards, SO that there appears some
remote prospect for the general intro
duction of scientific medicine among
the population of that huge empire. If
the emperor be really in earnest, the
lest plan would be to send over large
number of young Cinnamon to the med

THAT one-half of the inhabitants of
New York has no conception of the man
ner in which the other half exists goes
without saying" remarked a society
woman recently, "but L never realized
how differently the lives, habits and
occupations of the rich of our own diff
fer from those of nous outres,' who are
only moderately well off, until the
other day at a sort of drawing-room
debating club that we started this win
ter the various methods of transit were
under discussion, when Mrs. Midas, who
was my neighbor, said to me:
Il cannot speak from experience in
any of the matter, for have never been
in a public conveyance in my life, ex-
cept of course the railroads.
DO you mean to say l exclaimed,
for I could not realize that a woman of
so years old, living in New York all
her days, could, whatever might be her
condition, really live so apart from the
great mass of her fellow creatures,
that you have never been in an omnibus
Or street carp

proudly aloof from the hOi polloi than
do such women who by the power of
money alone are thus alienated from
their kind. Such class distinctions be-

have not, based upon nothing but sor-
did considerations, are undoubtedly
widening the breach between the rich
and the poor in this country
They mean we'll, these rich women,'
said a handwriting philanthropist,
who had devoted years to the people
and their needs, not merely bodily, but
socially and intellectually. And we
greatly need the money that they give,
but do wish that they would not drive
down to our clubs with their carriages
and footmen. 1 did not like to say that
it was inappropriate and tended to de-
stroy rather than foster the feeling Of
and self-respect that we are
trying to have established, but 1 tried
to suggest to Mrs. Croesus, who has
taken so much interest and donated
such large sum to our library, that it
would save her so much time if she came
downs in the L.
My dear Miss r she exclaimed,
Il would not go into these slums for
the world without John and Thomas
to protect me- a remark which showed
how hopelessly ignorant she was of the
real meaning and scope of our work"
