Galva Qll.) Special.
Rev. William A. Sunday. former Chi
cago baseball king, is bringing sinners
to repentance in central Illinois. His
day and night services are attended by
an average of 1000, and he is meeting
with strange success. The other night
he delivered a sermon to men at Galva,
in a tabernacle constructed for him.
In the beginning he asked: How
many Of you will go home and tell
your wives you will be better menu
Not q man arose.
How many of you will dare tell
your wives you will no. beat them
AGAIN."
Not q man arose or said a word.
How many of you will quit your

And still no one expressed penitence.
Then came the sermon.

Who stand up and curse before the
children? Is it your wives? No, it is
you. Who are going to Heaven after
while?. Is it you? No. 1t is your
wives. Who are going to hell? You
are going to hell"
The only sound in the great audito-
rum was the sound of the voice of the
little man on the stage. He ran from
side to side, he called out to those in
the rear, he leaned over the assembly
and threw out his arms as ii to drag
every man to the front. He stood upon
a chair and. making a trumpet Of his
hands, called the roll Of the wicked.
His earnestness at last began to move

catch every word. Then they began to
come forward from far down the aisle.

THE CRY OF THE ORPHAN.
An Appeal to Aid the Children Whom
Disaster Has Touched ut
Montreal.

Again the cry of the orphan comes
to us from Montreal. Night before
last their home was totally destroyed
by fire, this being the second time
within two years. Everything in way
of clothing and bedding was con-
sumed. The children are being cared
for the best the accommodations of a
small place can afford. some of them
having to take refuge in the new
building which is now in course of
erection; you can we'll imagine tha
discomforts of these dear children now
suffering on account of their present
circumstances, dwelling in an unfin-
ished building with but a scant sup
ply of clothes and bedding. God grant
that their needs may appeal to every
reader of this notice.
Those wishing to help in this most
worthy case will send their articles
of clothing and bedding to Mrs. Fl. M
Worth, corner of Dawson and West
Lane streets, or to 4S7 Halifax street.
There are twenty-five children desti-

Sunday School Matters.

Prof. s. M. Smith, the General Sec
rotary of the North Carolina Sunday
School Association, left last night for
Randleman where he goes to attend
the Randolph County Sunday School
convention. From Randolph he goes
to Concord to attend the Cabarrus
County convention. and from there to
Kenansville in Duplin county to at
tend the annual convention of that
county. Each of these counties, Prof
Smith says, has a Well-organiZed
County Sunday School Association
which is doing much to arouse inter-
est in the work and to help in a prac-
teal way to better prepare the Sum
day School workers in each county
for better service. The State Sunday
School Association is doing much, he
says, toward helping the Sunday
School work in destitute sections, by
encouraging the revival of dead
schools and the organization Of new
ones wherever there is need. One
of the main objects of this organized
Sunday School work as conducted by
the State association is to help all
schools of every denomination by
bringing within reach of every Sun
day School worker at least once year
a practical Sunday School convention
or institute. This is done by organizing
a Sunday School Association in each
township i'm a county. The headquar-
ters of the State Sunday School AS
ISOLATION is i'm this city in the Andrews
building, which everv Sunday Schooi
worker will do we'll to visit. me
State association, Prof. Smith SAYS
stands ready to help any SUNDAY
School by giving information regard
ing any phase OF Sunday Schooi work
or by furnishing speakers to attend
any Snecial occasion.
