Miller has been alone. He proved
himself not only gifted singer, but
an earnest, able speaker and leader,
1t was a triumphant closing. The
church was packed to the doors. A
touching tribute was given to Miss
Francis e. Willard, followed by silent
prayer. Mr.. Miller then sang with
much feeling, when My Life Work
Is Ended" Following this he said:
"In view of the great Christian privl-
leges we haYe enjoyed as nation, II
we do not arise and put away the sin
OF the rum traffic, shall not be sur
prlsed at any calamity that will come
to US as a nation. The wages Of sin is
DEATH" waxing hotter and hotter, he
cried out, "that's not the only SIM"

said the speaker. II have good news

cried out, "Yes, best news man ever
heard. 'Tis a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation that Christ
Jesus came to save sinners He has
never failed to saye all that came to
him."
Turning to the pastors whose faces
showed they were In warm sympathy
with the preacher. he said "Brethern
so long as Jesus Christ continues to
save sinners in our churches, we have
nothing to fear from infideliJy--
Amen"
The evangelist Pleads as one plead
ing for the life of a friend and it was
not in vain.
Taking his place at the organ Mr..
Miller sang with wonderful pathos.
ITO the Hall of the Feast Came the
Sinful and Fair, She Heard in the
City That Jesus Was There"
Promptly at 8 o'clock those wish
ing to go were given an opportunity
to do so. Very few offered to move.
They were awed and spellbound, Sin
certify was expressed in every face.
The front seats were soon filled by
those desiding to lead a Christian
life.
The meeting closed with waving
handkerchiefs, and hand shaking.
The number of converts is not ex-
actly known, but daily from fifteen to
forty have been at the altar. Mr..
Miller left this morning for Corvallis
to be there one week after which he
goes to Seattle.
In making few farewell remarks
Evangelist Miller spoke in grateful
terms of the courtesy and kindly con.

himself by the press of the city.
