A Leading Feature.
What is termed a strong feature of the
work of the Peoples Mission is Its efforts
to save bona-fide citizens Of Washington
men who through strong drink and other
causes had become comparatively useless
TO society. Many OF tneSe nave UecIi TO-
stored to lives of usefulness and influence
through the helping hand of the Peoples
Mission, and are now members of the sew
eral churches of Washington, themselves
now working for the uplifting Of others
Discussing another feature of the mission,
Evangelist McMichael said:
There is one thing we can speak FAVOR
ably of in connection with the mission with
out fear Of contradiction, and that is our
orchestra. The boys are not only good mu-
scians, but they are good, pure, clean,
Christian young men. AS musicians they
have acquired a favorable reputation
throughout our city. The Peoples Mission
may be lacking In some things. but In
music they are as well. If not better, equip
ped than any other mission In the country.
A Sunday night at the Peoples Mission lis
tening to our orchestra will lift you up
above the things of this world.
During the four years of its existence
the mission has been fortunate In securing
many prominent men and women or ma
tional reputation to address the people.
This was especially true during the win
ter they held the Sunday night meetings
in the old Bijou Theater.'- These meetings
were largely attended and were wonderful
ly successful, but for various reasons they
had to be abandoned"

Mr.. McMichael's Report.
December 8. 1908, one month after hold
ing the fourth anniversary, fire swept
through the Peoples Mission Hall and
practically destroyed everything. The
benches and chairs were charred, but noble
workers assembled Saturday, the next day,
and some scraped the benches and chairs
others washed things up, and the services
began again that very evening saturday.
The balance of December and all of Jan1,-
airy, severely cold months, the services
were kept going until the adjustment on
the part of the insurance company was
made good to the landlords The mission
possessed nothing to adjust.
The first to be replaced was the Evan
gelist, because 1t was by this means the
people were kept acquainted with the work
and its needs. We did not miss a single
number of the Evangelist.
The next to be resurrected from the ashes
were the Scripture texts. These were nut
in place by those who did the work origi-
nally, and five additional ones have been
placed upon the walls.

sary rally meetings We're held every night
this week at the auditorium of the Peo-

The history of the Peoples Mission is an
interesting one. Five years ago a small

at the home of Mrs. NJ E. Carroll, a we'll
known missionary at 18th and F streets
southwest, now known as Gospel Hail. and

In describing its early days said:

Even in Its infancy the mission showed
signs of wonderful strength, and as time
rolled on it developed so rapidly that it was
soon found necessary to secure larger quar-
tiers. This it did by renting it's present
headquarters 80 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, retaining Gospel Hall, its birth
place, branch.
During the five years the mission has
been in existence it has steadily grown in
strength and usefulness, each succeeding
year not only showing an increase in mem

men who have been brought to Christ
