ReY. W. j. Dawson, the we'll known
London Evangelist, who has just arrived

"rhe religious revival in Wales is
only an extreme example of what is
going on all over the world. The peo-
pie are finding out that dollars do not
give them the satisfaction that is last

mains. The unrelenting faith of the
fathers OF the church is coming back
again and all of the people are getting 1t.
There is no use In giving the credit Of
this affair to EvangelDsts."

Finances of the Fair.

SO far as it is now possible to deter
mine, the receipts and expenditures of
the Somerset Central cattle show and
fair held, last week, were about equal.
When it is recalled that the weather
was unfavorable for the first two days
and threatening on the morning of the
third this result may be considered as
fortunate. The new grand stand added
much to the appearance of the grounds
ard the comforts OF those attending, but
the income from it, amounting this year
to $S4, goes to the corporation by which
1t was built and the fair thus loses, for
the present, the income formerly derived
from the old grand stand.
A summary of receipts and disburse-
ments is appended. 1t is accurate as to
receipts and approximately so as to ex-
penditures;
