The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1903-08-26

The meeting by Rev. Williams
closed on Wednesday evening.
The seed sown will bear fruitage.
Whether or not it will accomplish
the reformation desired remains to
be seen. Hundreds, if not thous-
ands, Of people have been blessed;
some quickened to greater zeal in
the Lords service, some, who
were once his followers and had
fallen away, regained to a closer
walk with the Christ; some who
had always lived in unbelief con-
fessed their faith in the Christ and
have begun to live anew.
The evangelist said much to and
concerning church members whose
lives were not in accord with the
teachings and spirit of the Christ.
His pleading and entreaties We're
tender, his denunciations were ter
rife. He advocated high type
Of living in thought, word and
deed for those who claim to be
Christians.
We hope that the families Of
church officials, and other laymen,
who have been patronizing the sa-
loon, ball room and progressive
euchre table, will not again resort
to such things after the many en-
treaties by local pastors in the past
and now by the evangelist. We
are pleased to say that already sew
eral ladies have signihed their de-
termination to abandon some OF
the amusements by some regarded
as unbecoming Christians. Our
prayer is that Gods rich blessing
may come to our people.

500.

The amount of money collected
for the meeting including the guar
antee fund from the churches ag-
gregate near $1,000. $500 of this
amount was paid to Mr.. Williams,
about $500 for actual expenses and
the balance about 5000 will be re-
turned to the churches in proper
ton to the amount eacn church
contributed to the guarantee fund.
1t is estimated that the gross sales
from song books and books written
by Mr.. Williams would reach 5000.
The meeting met the hearty CO.
operation of the active church
workers who were liberal with their
time and money.
Messrs Ed Refs and Judge II.
Clay Mckee, by their liberality
made it possible to locate the tent
in the most central part Of the city.
This kindness, free of any remun-
GRAFTON, is appreciated by all con-
cerned in religious work. The
chairmen of the various committees
did their work we'll and are to be
commended. Every pastor in the
city and some out of it gave the
meeting their support. The pray
er meetings organized by these
workers if continued may result in
great good, drawing our people
from the ways of the world to give
thanks for favors bestowed.

FARMERS, CONSIDER.

At about this time last year fat
cattle in Liverpool were just a cent
more than what they are quoted
there to-day. Reasoning from this
basis they should bring the farmers
5Mc instead of 4Ac. The trusts
are getting the one cent, and for
their existence, growth and leach
feeding on the people the Repub-
lican party is responsible. This
party in power, by legislation,
has rendered it possible for them
to take the life blood from the COM
mon people. 1t is a case OF you
hold while the trust does the rob-
bing.

READY.

Mr.. George w. Baird has been
elected Chairman of the county
Democratic Campaign Committee
and promises to give his time and
talents towards getting out full
Democratic vote. Every Democrat
who has the good of the party at
heart should confer with him. No
knocking.

MOVING FORWARD.

At the meeting Of the railroad
representatives Thursday our citi-
zens took the initial steps neces-
sary to make final survey and To-
cate the road. Work will be
begun at once. Farmers along
the line should organize, talk the
matter Of right-of-way over and be
ready to give definite answer to
the committee as soon as called
on. The road will be constructed
if our people will act fayorably and
promptly.

WATER WORKS.

Our people are complaining be-
cause of condition Of water from
our hydrants and some of them
have seen fit to critise the press
because, as they say. we do not
rip them up. For the appeas-

would say we have seen the SUI
perintendent and he assures us
that they are preparing to add an
improvement that would obviate
the present condition Of water.
We therefore urge our people to
be quiet for a season and observe
the change soon to be wrought.

The williams Hicks Gospel Meet
inqs.


uously day after day since August
IL.
Every citizen can not help but
see that the months preparation
prior to the coming of the Evange-
list made everything ready. The
work Of the Central Committee with
it's different b-committees the
one hundred and thirty-five cot
tage prayer meetings held all over
our city and suburbs; the Christian
unity of feeling and the united eff
forts of Church members, all work.
ing together tremendously for the
advancement of Christ's cause in
our community was a beautiful
sight and the influence for good
long to be remembered. Evange-
list Williams established himself as
man of superior ability in ex-
pounding the word OF God and his
singer, Mr.. Ira E. Hicks, was above
the average in his work of leading
and training voices in a large choir.
During the meeting the evange-
list had special days of service
which attracted large congregations
as follows:
August 7, 800 p. m.-Childrens
service, at the close of which there
were 3S confessions.
August 8, 300 p. m.-Service
for maid, wife and mother.
August 9, 800 p. m.-Service
for men only.
August 12.-Day of fasting and
prayer. At S:45 o'clock a. m, on
this day there were cottage prayer
meetings held in 26 different homes
in our city, afterward services were
held in tent at 9:30 a. M, 300 p.
M, and 1880 p. M, fraught with
good results.
August Denomination of SER
vice for women,
August 16.--Service for men
only.
There were held in the tent 40
different services during the meet
ing. The first service in which in
vitatiohs were extended was the
Children's ser 'ice, August 18th.
At the close of the meeting there
had been 141 conversions. This
includes those who confessed faith
in the Christ and renewed their
vows and were distributed among
the various churches. L h s
number as to sex as near as could
be ascertained were as follows:
Men and boys 81, women and girls
"a. The attendance upon the SER
vices which is made up by close
estimate, was for smallest service
100, while the largest was at least
1000, generally the attendance was
near 1900. At the last service of
10Th inst, the pastors of the diff
erent churches gave out announce
ments for continuation of these ser
vices in their respective churches
telling of the good that had been
received by them and extending
praise and thankful farewells to
Evangelist Williams in his depar-
ture from our city. Taking the
meeting all through from the
months preparation before, until
it's close, it was successfully man
aged. Every committee and every
worker doing their very best in
the advancement of the great cause
of Christianity.

THE NEMESIS OF THE LAW.

Every dog has his day and some of these are long,
but would that Pnky Panky Poo the beloved OF
Mrs pat Campbell, is shortly to the sun go down
OH his particular day. While touring this country Pnky
Panky Poo suffered many hairbreadh escapes He was
threatened with pneumonia in New York, by mob IN

Pennsylvania But he survived all these and many other
dangers only to meet at least to be threatened with

ROAD ALREADY
HAS THE STREETS
Aid. Moriarty Gives Reason for
Rejecting Petition of
Great Western.

Several days ago the American Hoist
and Derrick company, a West side in
Stitution, made a request for the right
to cross an alley extending from Liv-
ingston avenue to South Robert street,
with foot bridges, and to temporarily
occupy Water street between the same
thoroughfares. The assembly granted
the request, but the board of aldermen
at it's last meeting turned it down hard.
Aid. MOriarty was instrumental in
bringing about the rejection of the re-
quest by the board of aldermen, and he
explains his attitude by saying that
such temporary vacation would COM
pletely Isolate lot now in the center
of the companys grounds owned by
other parties. The request, he says, is
really for the purpose of legalizing
what the company has already taken
entire alley and one block of Water
street. These two thoroughfares have
been fenced in, and now when any per-
son desires to use them he must call
at the company's Office and secure a
pass, which is in turn presented to a
Waterman, who obligingly opens the
gates. The alley in question is already
crossed by foot bridges. and Water
street IS taken up by a portion of the
company's warehouses.
A number of complaints have been
filed with the city engineer because Of
the arbitrary closing of the two thor
oughfares, but nothing has ever been
officially done regarding it.
The American Hoist and Derricks
works is one of the largest labor en-
ploying institutions on the West side.
1t holds several levee leases, and this
fact has prevented active proceed
ings against it because of it's abuse of
the streets.
