 'sThe service, aside from the singing, was peculiar. The evangelist, man of apparently very simple, unassnn1ing style, spoke 2 few words, and he wasl followed by fine looking man, the Rev. Henry Maxwell, pastor of sthe First church of Raymond. Mir Afaxwell spoke of the fact that the dead woman had been fully prepared to go, but he spoke in a peculiarly sensitive manner of the effect of the liquor business ons the lives of men and women like this one. Raymond, of cosifse, being D EraiIs road town and the center of the great packing interests for this region, is full of saloons I caught from the minister's remarks that he had only recently changed his views in regard to license He certainly mads a very striking and yet it was in no sense an inappropriate address for Q funeral.
 Then folloaed what was perhaps the queer parts6f this strange service. The women fasahs tent, at lpasb a large part of them uT5 near tie coffin, began to sing in 8 scft,a lsarfal way.~I was a wandering sheep lJss
 "Then, while the singing was going on, one rosT of woraen stood ID and walked siewlypast the caslzob.gaea as they went by each orc placed 9 flower of tome E5glSs on it. Then they sat7down, and another Tow fed past leaving their flowers. All t.ae time the singing continued softly, liise rain on tent cover when sll1a windIis gentle It was one of 4the saanp plestss anasat the same time one ef the most impressive sights I ever wifnessaI The s5dasNfs the tent were up. and hundreds of people who could not get il stood outside all ias still as death, with wonderful sadness | and solen8ditgf for such rotgh looking people. There nlust have been hun .dred of lthese swohien, and I.was told many of them had been converted at l the meetings just recently. Tcannot sde-l scribe the effect of that singing. Not man sang | note all W6aleh's voices, and so soft and yet, so distinct. that the effect was startling. sI E
 1 The service closed with another solo, by Miss Ninslow, who sang There were, ninety and nine, and then the evangelist asked them all to bow their. heads while he prayed. was obliged. in order to catch my train, to leave adurifg the prayer, and the last view I caught of the. scene as stlie train went by the shops was a sight of the great crowd pouring out of the tent and forming in open ranks while the eezin was borne out by six of the women. It is q long time since I have seen such picture in this unpoetieal republic. ss,,
 If Loreen g funeral impressed pass ing stfangerililze this, 1t Is 1ot difficult to imagine the profound feelings OF those who had been So intimately con nected with her life and death. Moth ing had eyer entered the Rectangle that had moved it So deeply as Loreen S body in that coffin, and the Holy Spirit seemed to bless with special power the usecf this senseless clay, for that night at the meeting he swept more than score of lost ssoals, mostly women, into the fold of the Good Shepherd.
 It should be said here that Henry Ma1well's statement concerning the opening of tle saloen from whose win dow Loreen had been killed proved nearly exactlyatrse.s It was formally I closed Monday and Tuesday while the I authorities arrested the proprietor, charged with the murder, but nothing eould be proved against any one, and before Saturday of that week the saloon was funning as regularly as ever, No one on fhe earth WAS ever punished by earthly courts for the murder of Loreen.
 No one in all Raymond, including the Rectangle, felt Loreen' s death more keenly than Virginia. It came like i distinct personal loss to her. That short week while Loreen had been in her home had opened Virginia s heart to a new life. She was talking it over with l Rachel the day after the funeral. They 1 were sitting in the hall of the Page mansion.
 .'I am going to do something with better life. . Virginia looked over to the end of the hall where the day before Loceen s body had laiu. ..I have decid ed on good plan, as 1t seems to me. have talked st over with Rollin He will devotesa large paru.of bis money to the same plan '' 4s& .ae
 ssHow much money have you, Vir- ginia. to give in this way P asked tlRachel. Once she would never have asked such a personal question. Now it seemed as natural to talk frankly about money as about anything else that be- longed to God.
 .sI have available for use at least 1 $450,000. Rolifn has as much more. 1t is one of his bitter regrets now that his extravagant habits cf life before his conversion practically threw away half that father left him. We are both eager to make all the fepafation in our pow 4 CT. What would. Jesus do with this moneyg We want to answer that ques
