CHAPTER VI. AIENInR ADJ I, NIGHT

The Salvation Army hall was an olt storage room which had once been use, for miners supplies. It seated abOu 400 people. There was very little fur niture in it except the wooden chair and two box stoves, one at either end A flag was draped across one corner There was platform about two fee above the floor where the army wa taking up its position for the meeting as Stuart entered.
 Although many of the miners hat gone over to De Mott that day in antici patton of the excitement when the new men came in, there was still a large number of men in Champion. The hal was crowded. Not a place was left fol standing room except at the rear neal the door anu the aisle which by com mon practice was left open for converts to march down and kneel at the altar The man with the big drum was sta toned out at the end of the platform and had difficulty to find room enougl to swing his arm as hard as he wanted to, and once during the evening as he flung his drumstick back to bang his instrument on a halleluiah chorus he struck one of the interested spectators who was leaning eagerly forward q good, smart blow on the nose. This in cident created a little confusion, but it was soon quieted.
 Stuart was intensely interested in the meeting as it progressed. He was fla m1liar With the outdoor meetings, and he had seen the army in its great gath mi n in, I l, 1,o dition himself at this particular time in his own personal history and expe- rience, to feel q peculiar and special in terest in this particular meeting. He was sitting about six rows from the front and next to the aisle, where he could see everything distinctly. The audience was mostly men, though sey- eral of the miners wives and some of the younger women were scattered about in the crowd. The service start ed with a vigorous solo and chorus. The major, large. fine faced English man, with voice that shook the win dows, started in with the song, ..s
 was deep dyed sinner, ,5.s> t.ssss'
 Just as deep I could be, and the army came in with a rattling chorus to the Bowery tune of Swim Out, O'Grady!' The verse and chorus ran like this: .-,----
 was deep dyed sinner, r-
 Just as deep could be;
 But, praise God for salvation, 4t5
 Today l know I'm free: ~-f
 have Gods smile upon me now: --
 Of hell l have no fears.
 When the devil comes and tempts me, -
 Why, whisper in his ears:
 CHORUS.
 Get out, Mephsto
 have for you
 I'm soldier in the army
 And to Jesus Pll be true.
 I'm fighting meath the coor,. - The yellow, red and blue.
 Get out, old devil, get out.
 There were five verses, the last one the second or final chorus as follows:
 word about the collection,
 For We want good one sure;
 The devil often tells me
 That to give I am too poor
 Which makes me go down deeper When the tmbrel comes my way
 And my action brings a blessing sure
 x And helps me when say: SECOND CHORUS.
 Get out old devil!
 Pve lost my love for YOU
 I'm a soldier in the army,
 And to Jesus I'll be true
 I'm fighting heath the coiors The yellow red and blue
 Get out, old devil, get out! It dwould be impossible to describe the effect of this song on the audience. The Cornish people were great lovers of music. Before the stalwart soloist had finished two verses of the song nearly every foot in the audience, and there was not a light foot in it, was beating time on the hard board floor, and at the conclusion of tha third x-orso
