The st. Joseph News prints Il
speech by the Rev.J. NJ. O'Brien,
well remembered in Mexico, the
man who didn't take his appoint

late Methodist conference. The
brother talks on temperance aud
the st. Joseph paper quotes him
as follows;
Don't you know that our great
dailies are debauching the public
mind in regard to this great traffic.
They are Systematically deceiyiug
us. They belittle every crime for
which liquor is responsible, aud
ridicule every brave soul that
comes ont and takes a stand
against the curse.
That noble woman from Kan.
sas is being lied about every day
by the newspapers. They have
her committing uncouth acts in a
certain city at certain time, when
as a matter of fact she may hav,
been hundreds of miles FROM tina
city at that time. She is now dow
in Kansas City helping build

(CoNcLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.
Such was the position Of affairs
when Garvln found his way to the
Old Mahogany Bar eight years ago
and made the acquaintance Of Mr..
and Mrs. Leighton. This awful
story is no creation Of fancy. Mr..
Leighton made the fullest invrsti-
cations, aud found that so far
from being exaggeration, it was
not by any means the whole story.
Those most accustomed to dealing
with prisoners aud vicious people
looked upon Garvin as an absolute
" hopeless case.
And now" said Mr.. Leighton
with a CLEAN of heavenly light in
his kindly eye, FOR the glorious
change, change that proves the
gospel has lost none of its ancient
power. will put Garvin's words
in his own words in good old

ituul father, Mr.. Leighton. He
said Christ could save the worst
man in London, and said to my
self, That's me- / trembled from
head to foot, for something seem
ed to have got hold of me. When
the meeting was over l went up and
said, Is it true what you've been
saying that Christ can save the
worst man in London, because I'm
that MANI / shall never forget
his answer: Yes, my brother,
Christ can save the worst, he can
save even you What struck me
most was that he called me brother,
People were not used to calling
me that. The police were keeping
u sharp eye on me just then. Well,
they listened to my story at the
Old Mahogany Bar, and answered
my questions, gave me something
TO eat, and made me feel welcome
and the following day | came tc
the meetings there. When | stood
