OPENS THE SECOND WEEK.
A Live Meeting at the Howard Avenue
 Church Revival,

A Live Meeting at the Howard Avenue
 Church Revival.
 A rousing praise service led off the Howard avenue Baptist church revival these services with an enthusiasm that gives great interest to the meetings. They have this week taken up the new book of Sacred Songs" and the way they make the church ring with melody reminds one of an old fashioned Methodist revival.
 MT. Spear has ingrafted upon the audiences at these gospel meetings the same methods of inspiring song that characterized his work in his gospel temperance days. Every song is full of life and is in harmony with the va rious phases of the meeting. Nor is Rev. D. W. Stoddard in the least back ward in making these services the liveliest the people of Howard avenue have ever had. MT. Stoddard brings to the work over fifteen years of practi- cal ministerial experience in larger fields of labor, and is not only full of enthusiastic push and zeal, but is able and powerful in argument, and has a very practical way of setting forth gospel truths. And when two workers of this stamp are harnessed together things have to move out of the old ruts and the result is such a stirring up of interest and rattling of dry bones as the Howard avenue church has never before experienced in all it's history.
 The people are turning out to the meetings, rain or shine. and there are already several hopeful cases of con version manifested. Last night MT. Spear spoke from the odd topic, Not this day; some other day" It was a strong and logical argument against putting off religious duty until more convenient season, and an earnest plea for those who had not found Christ to let this day and hour mark the date of their decision. Rev. D. W. Stoddard led an interesting after meeting.

1t is quite amusing to hear the

punching away at Mark Hanna. 1t
worries Mark sol When ever Re-
publican becomes prominent and
manifests skill in running cam
paign that shuts out the pieeating
Democrats they can never get over
it, and continually abuse him on any

little hard on the boys after en-
joying all the good things of life for
four long years to have an ordinary
business man slip forward and run a
campaign successfully through
against the astute and trained poll
ticians. The Kansas Democratic
editor is in particularly bad
straight, he can expect no national
support or patronage and his popu-
list allies have gobbled up all the
state sap so he has nothing left but
his gall to pull him through, so he
proceeds to pour that out on Mark
