REVIVAL Is NEEDED.
Washington Preacher Wants to
Shake Up the Capital City.
Not Since 1870 Has the Town Enjoyed
Period Of Genuine Religious
Enthusiasn-Cause of the
StaHnatiOn.
Especial Washington letter.
((XXIlIY cannot we have gle


((XXIlIY cannot we have glo-
w rious revival of religion
that will shake the pillars
Of the capitol and make this seat OF
government tremble before the power
of fervent prayer?'
The preacher is one of the most
eloquent and earnest of the clergy
men who use their best endeaVors In
this city to increase their church
membership and enhance the general
morality of the community. He re-
peated his question again and again.
and then announced that an effort
would be made at the next Thursday
evening prayer meeting TO start re-
vival.
On the following Monday morning
there was a preachers meeting ana
our enthusiastic clergyman declared
that if the 200 preachers in this city
were imbued with the true spirit they
could start fire which would burn
out all evil i'm our midst; and he cited
the PentecoStal work of the twelve
apostles, who were so successful as
soul winners.
The other preachers were not
awakened by his zeal. They were
more conservative and did not believe
that such revival as was desired
could be brought about. One of the
elders said: This is n peculiar city
for revival work. II is an intellectual
center, especially when congress is
in session. and these intellectual men
are all extremely conservative about
religion. The majority of them do
not believe i'm revivals anyway, but
regard them as periods of nervous
excitement rather than periods Of
souls saving"
Nevertheless their souls can be
saved" persisted the worker for
revival. "and for one l am going to
insist upon an effort"
The old elder said: "There has
been no revival here since 1876, when
Hammond, the evangelist. aroused
the District of Columbia and accom-
plished great deal of good, some
evidences of which still remain appar-
ent to those of us who knew of the
steady and perfect conversions of that
time. but where are You going TO get
YOUR Hammond? When will there
come another"
Well. the revival will be attempted,
anyway. There is determination in
the manner and voice of the preach
err: kind Of determination which al
WAYS produces results, but not always
such great results as are desired.
One of the veteran members of his
church to-day said: 81 shall try to
stand by the pastor and do all that
] can. just as | have done in all re-
vival efforts for more than 40 years.
But religion is not now what it was
Even the religion of Wesley is not
what il once was.
"In the old days every member Of
the church considered it his duty to
seek converts and point out the way
of salvation. No stranger could come
into the church without having his
hand clasped and listening to some
words of welcome. Nowadays it is
different. People are digntiedly es-
corted to seats, but dignity exceeds
cordiality.

Nothing suits her capricious fancy
but the most delcately tinted gloves,
which are irredeemably ruined by

silken petticoats, each a dream OF
loveinoss i'm itself, are taken as n

OUR CHORE BOY.

She's up at the break of the dawn,
And tunbllng the hay from the mows,
And a merry laugh rings, and a CHEEKY
voice sings,
When Mollie is feeding the cows.
Here's Speckle and Brinde and Bess,
And Buttercup there by the door,
Their big stanchions creak, for they're
trying TO speak,
When Mollle comes over the floor.
The horses stand in the stalls
Their whinnying begging begin,
AS If each understood that the measure
was good
When Mollie is near to the bin.
And the cattle will follow her round
With a dumb never failing regard,
As If trying to boast which was loving her
most
When Mollie goes into the yard.
oh, it's well for lassie to mend,
And It's well for lassie to darn,
But her eyes are as bright as the stars in
the night
When Mollie does chores at the barn.

had failed to arrive. She stood in
the middle of the forlorn parlor, lamp
in hand gazing at the coffin, which
had been placed between the two
front windows. She felt it was her
duty to lift the cover and look at the
man within, yet at the thought a
shuddering horror took hold upon
her. She took herself to task. Was
this the way to feel towards a poor
mortal who asked her forgiveness in
this strange manner? She recalled
the day they were married. She
thought him very handsome then,
with his straight nose and long,
blond mustache. She resolutely set
the lamp down and removed the up
per part of the coffin lid. His face APP
peared to her suddenly and so fright
fully near. He was old now-lke her
self; his face was pinched by the
reckless years, and his long mustache
was gray, but he was Henry Brewster,
the same who had broken her heart
in her young womanhood. She
stopped to put the cover on the floor,
then rose quickly and stoou gazing
on the motionless features. Sudden
ly she turned as though struck with
an unbearable horror and went out
of the room. Her eyes were dilated
and her face was more deathlike in
its frozen pallor than the face of the
man in the coffin.
Pennington Brush went to his room
about II. He had blown out his
light and removed his coat when he
heard cry or call. He listened, and
imagined he heard a woman's voice
calling his name. He hurried out of
doors and sped swiftly up the path
towards Mrs. Brewster's. He stepped
lightly upon the porch, determined
not to frighten her by knocking, if
it had been but a trick of his mag
nation, she asleep and everything
quiet within. He peeped cautiously
through the parlor window, and the
sight which met his gaze froze the
blood in his veins. Rose Brewster
sat in the middle of the room, point
ing a pistol at the man who was sit
ting bolt upright in his coffin, AS
Brush gazed almost doubling his
senses, Rose called with all her might
and main;
Bloomington, Pennington BruSh!"
The window went in with a crash,
the broken glass falling upon the car
pet in showers. The coffin was upset,
and the supposed dead man lay un-
conscious from a blow planted hearth

With superb presence of mind she
brought the pistol from her bed
room, and none too soon, for when
she returned the scoundrel was sit

get out. There she had held him
with an unloaded pistol-whle he
begged and threatened. When the
strain became unbearable she began
calling for Pennington, with little
hope that he would hear, and when
he crashed through the window, his
eyes blazing with fury, he seemed to
