SOME SENSATIONAL METHODS.

The evangelistic band of the Chris
trail Presbyterian church, in Detroit
and was given instruction in the work
by Rev. H. B. Gibet of Springfield
Mass, who has become famous in the
east for success in evangelistic work.
Some of Mr.. Gibet's instructions
are brought to hand by the Detroit
Journal and are reprinted here for
those who arc interested in the SEN
sational methods. Said Mr.. Gibett:
therell be some noise around where
the crowd is likely to be, but if you
want quiet go to the cemetery.
Get above your audience. Stand on
beer keg or soap box. In Boston
they gave me title. They called
me the S. B. D. D.-Soap Box Devil
Driver,
I set upon beer key and tell the
crowd I'd rather have it under my feet
than going in this way, and getting
into my feet this way, said the evan
gelist, tipping across the platform.
That gets the crowd with you.
Look out for Interruptions and steer
clear of them. If you see a dog COM
ing down the road to meet another
dog, don't ever think you can stand up
against a dog fight. Stop your speech
too.
Avoid argument. A fellow asked
me once where Cain got his wife. l
told him that fellows got into trouble
before now by concerning themselves
with other mems wives and he'd bet
ter let the subject alone. "a good
wife is of the Lord" the Bible says,
and you get right with the Lord and
the other matter'll take care Of itself.
Hand out tracts at the close, only
don't call 'em tracts, and don't get
those handful tracts that were printed
centuries ago. My tracts are called
Put the Baby to Bed Early" every
man with a baby wants to read 1t:
"Black Crook" "And the Barber
Kept on Shaving" They'll read things
like that.
When I so to the horse races to do
evangelistic work l do something like
this:
And Rev. Mr.. Gibet whisked a
pack of cards out OF his grip and shut
fled them into shape, suspiciously I'M
like a Christian Endeavor delegate,
ratified off good imitation Of gamblers
iargon, and with skilful hand he
threw the cards out into the audience
They were discovered to be good i'm
itations OF playing cards on the back,
with few pointed gospel messages on
the other side.
There are doubtless many people who
will question whether this is in good
taste, but Mr.. Gibbett says that
good taste" can't always be relied on
to induce man to think about his
souls salvation.

Prof. Peck vs. Roosevelt.

Harry Peck. professor of Latin in Co., lumbia University who devotes his ample leisure to com betting with Ruth Ashmore (rest her soul.) in saying silly things to and about women, declared in a recent article that the men who advocate the extension of the suffrage to woman are meek and spineless creaturers y About the same time Gov ernor Roosevelt was recommending to the legislature of the state in which Mir. Peck draws his salary that muni- cipal and school suffrage be conferred upon women. Probably MT. Roosevelt does not read Mir. Pesk's articles on women, but we would like to hear his remarks about Mr Peck if he came across this expression. There were two fellow citizens of Pect's named Beech CT and Curtis, who used to show their lack of spine by advocating what the meek Roosevelt now recommends.

They are putting their own money into the development of their natural resources instead of holding their hands while appealing for northern capital to come and make them rich. There is never any lack of northern money to invest in enterprises that have been demon strated to be profitable. People who help themselves always find all the assistance they want or need.
