REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Evangelist Crittenden at His Best Last
Evening.
terest.

The meetings at the Gospel Mission
of the series yet held. In the afternoon a
very large audience was present. The
services opened with a praise service,
reading of the scriptures and prayer.
Mr.. Crittenden selected for text the
words: eff we walk in the light as he is
in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ his
son cleanseth us from all SIM And
from them the preacher proceeded to show
the powerful effect of the blood as applied
to the hearts of men by faith. AT the
close of the sermon many requests for
prayer was made, and most affecting
altar service was held.
At 7.30 O'Clock the large hall was filled
by one Of the most deeply and intensely
interested of the series of meetings yet
held. Rev. H. f. Dexter conducted a
very spirited song service, and Rev. S. F.
Pearson, read the scripture lesson from
the thirty-third chapter Of Ezekiel. and
offered a fervent prayer. Mr.. Crittenden' s
text was 'fWatchman what Of the
nightP' And from these words painted
some vivid scenes in the varied experience
of real life, that have been witnessed by
himself in his efforts to reach and rescue
the many hundreds of young girls that
have been snatched as brands from the
burning fire by his corps of workers. A
most thrilling illustration was given in
| word pictures of Saul of Tarsus, as he
iourneyed from Jerusalem to Damascus,
which moved the great audience to tears,
and especially touching was the scene
when Ananus went and threw his arms
about the neck of Saul. Meetings this
afternoon at three and evening at 7.3O
O'Clock.

W. c. T. u. Fruit and Flower Mission.
The friends of this charity are reminded
that tomorrow, Thursday, September 9th,
marks the close of the present season s
work In conformity with the usual
custom the committee ask that this last
day may be made eventful by an unusual
" large distribution of gifts of flowers
fruit or reading matter among the
benefciaries of the mission. And to this
end all its patrons and friends are asked
if they will be pleased to bring or send to
the rooms SO Oak street, all such gifts
any time during the forenoon up. to II
O'Clock. Any and all kinds of flowers are
asked for. The county road sides are
teeming with golden rod, jewel flower,
fall dandelions, hard hack, meadow sweet
and many more varieties, while the
cultivated fall flower is rich in color and
profusion Such scores of salvias,
gladiol, asters, dahlias, verbena, one
sees on all sides among our city gardens
and hot houses.
How daintily are the baskets of assorted
fruits arranged that one sees in some of
our large stores. How they would tempt
the appetite of many a more than half
sick' poor woman or child. And then
there in some old forgotten corner of your
store room, are files of old discarded
papers and magazines, that are just
what our friends of the mission are need
| ing to help while away the long hours.
Among the most valued papers received
at the rooms are Portland Transcript,
Youths Companion, Christian Mirror,
Ladies Home Journals. Good illustrated
papers are sought also.
The committee are reluctant to record
that the result of the seasons work has
been bit disappointing owing, largely
to the long continued rains in the early
part of the season, that put back the
flower blossoming, and, also to tempo
rary discontinuance of the work because
of illness and subsequent death at the
mission rooms. For this reason the COM
mittee are desirious of emphasizing the
fact that they wish on this one day when
the tired woman or child comes to them
with the requests for a bouquet of flowers
no matter how small it is, as long as it S
flowers, or do you suppose you can spare a
little bit of fruit for my sick husband,
child, or mother?" as the case may be-,
that they may say without mental'calcu-
lation, eyes. indeed, they may have all
they need, for there is an abundance to-

The New York Tribune makes an
excellent point when it says that Rus
sia's objection to submitting the dis
posaI of Crete to plebiscite because the
Cretans do not wish to be annexed to
Greece, comedies that the Cretans ought
to be consulted in the matter The great
Powers have all admitted that it is
common justice to order plebiscite, but
they haggle over the technicality that
this cannot be done until Crete is paci-
fed, which is another way of saying,
again put under the thumb of the Sui
tan, when plebiscite would be farce.
What would we think of an election in
this country with one party wholly in

BUREAU OF INFORMATION.

Eds. Record Union:" To decide a
bet, please answer the following:
A bets that Mckinley carried the
State of California. bets that Nc
Kinley did not on the ground that
Bryan received one electoral vote. Who
wins the bet? H. j. LUTTIG.
Franklin, March 25. 1897.
Answer-McKinley carried California
by more than two thousand plurality of
the votes of the people. Therefore he
carried California within the meaning
of the bet. Bryan received in the cleo
toral college of California l vote and
Mckinley 8, therefore Mckinley car
ried California in the electoral college.
Evidently when a bet is made of the
kind stated, it means that not that
Mckinley received all the votes cast,
either at the polls or in the electoral
college, but that he had a majority or
plurality. If the bet had been that
Mckinley received all the electoral
votes of California, then A would lose.
But that was not the bet. The wager
was, did Mckinley carry California?
We ask III reply if he did not, who did? J?
We are aware that some people have
refused to pay bets lost on the above
statement. But we hold that the hon
est man pays such bets, when stand
ing in the position of B.
Eds. Record -Union:' A claims that
Hartford, Conn, in representative and
invested capital is the richest city in
the United States. B claims the con-
trary. Which is right? Yours re-
spectfully, S. w. DOUGHERTY.
Georgetown, March %, 1897.
Answer-It is not possible to give you
a definite answer since it is assumed
that it is wagered Hartford is the rich
est city in proportion to popula-
ton. To ascertain that calls for
extended research we cannot give
to the subject at this time.
Hartford pays over $4,00O,00O annu-
ally in wages to operatives in factories.
The annual value of her products is
about S1S, S,OOO,OO0. The assessed value
of taxable property is nearly $90,OO0,-
900. We scarcely think therefore that
"A'' is correct in his claim.
Eds. "RecordUnion": Can you please
inform me if there is any United States
or State law prohibiting the use of the
flag as an advertising medium or plac-
ing thereon any inscription? A v B.

but only a search of the statute books
of all the States will furnish you an
