HIS ATTENTIVE AUDIENCE.
Two Views of the Lecture Delivered
by a Novelist in a Jersey Town.


by n Novelist I'm n Jersey Town.
A well-known novelist delivered a lee
ture recently in q New Jersey town not
far from this city. in which he read
selections from his own works. His
reputation and the society that engaged
him brought together an audience com
posed of the best people Of the neigh
borhood. After the lecture, when peo-
PIE met, it was the proper thing for one
TO ask the other:
"Were you at the Lecturer" and the
answer in every case was:
"Oh, yes! was there, but didn't
hear word. Did you hear the lee
ture?"
"Well, no! was there but Icouldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few
days after his visit to the suburban
town asked him what kind of audience
he had and how he liked the town.
ITS fine place." was the reply,
"and | had the most attentive audience
that have ever spoken to. No one
made sound, and l didn't have TO raise
my voice above whisper"

 'The articles published in the East as to the gold fields" said he, in conclusion, have been the cause of misleading many people. Hundreds of others like myself have gone there full of expectations only to return badly disappointed. Provisions of all kinds gre high and then what you get is not of the best quality. It is no place for a poor man. My advice to all who contemplate going there in search of gold is to keep away from the coun- try. 1 am talking from a rough expe- rience and I would not want to see my worst enemy lured there in the hope of finding a Klondike. The climate is severe and 1t takes a particularly strong man to stand 1t.

Evangelist Hilton Opens :~.. a Revival at Dr. Far rand's Church.
 2
Pleads With the Hardened and Unregenerate to
 .. Reform.
A Profound Impression Created by .'":.s the Personal Influence of the
 A Able Preacher.

:. ,'There'u be nothing sensational. Don't expect it. Therell be no signs :a:nd tears and groans.' It'll not be a revival of noise, but of hearts; of faith and of love-" said Major Hilton who . conducted his first revival meeting at the Howard Presbyterian Church, cor .+ner Oak and Baker, last night.
 The evangelist, the first forty-three years of whose life were spent in pro- fession distinctly unclerical, is a man of middle height, with square shoulders and well-set head from which the brown-gra thick. curly hair is fast dis appearing. His chin is square and his mouth is firm, but the expression of his eyes is kindly. The style of Major Hil- tons exhortation is dramatic and ef- fective. He uses hOmely expressions and doesn't hold fast to rules of syn tax, but his voice is excellent, strong and sympathetic and capable of modu- lauons that sway his listeners.
 M ebbe some of our friends who are here tonight" he said in the informal easy way that is the perfection of plat form manners, ''mebbe they can't sing, ,. or they would. Now, I can't sing, but J try to sing a little, and those of us :, who can't sing that much might just :. .::try.:to make their mouth go as if they were singing, and GOdIl read the de- Sire to praise Him in your hearts. Hell ;: lE0w the heart is right anyway" -: The first part of Major Hilton's ad- dress was all wrath. The second all love.
 : '. T am going to speak of sin,' he said. ,~E':It's not a delightful subject. l wish I've could get rid of it. Then we'd get - rid of churches. There'd be no need of them. nor of preachers, nor of ser vices.
 There are no grades of sin in divine law When God comes to deal with sins he puts 'em all under one head. The wages of sin is death"
 Major Hilton leaned forward inn pressively and stretched out a denun- ciatory hand. Then he drew back and asked sharply.
 What kind of death? Death of the it. It's death of the soul death of ing almost to a whisper.
