Mr.. GiIIam's Work Endorsed.

The Pacific of San Francisco, the lead
ing religious paper on the Pacific coast
has this to say Of the evangelist who be-
gins his work at Grace Methodist church
next Sunday:
MIR Ralph Gillian is a man in the prime
of his young manhood, being about 35
years old, OF medium height, we'll built,
and, whose face bears indications oil
strength OF character, honesty and fear.
lessness whilst genial smile and twink
ling eye relieve his features of anything
like the sombre cast that too often repels
young people from the professional evan
gelist.
He was formerly in large store in
Boston, where he also was the president
| and lecturer of an intidel club. Through
| the earnest and continuous solicitations
OF a Christian customer, lady, whose
trad he was afraid OF losing, he eventu-
ally consented to attend the Fay Mills
meeting and was converted to Christ.
None more sorro wtulIy regrets Mr.. Fay
Mills de ectiDn and hopes for his restOra-
ton than Mr.. Gillian. Soon after his
conversion be fell it was incumbent upon
him to advocate the claims of Jesus
Christ as strenuously as he had afore-
time sought to defame him, and for over
Is years has been engaged in the evan
geIistic work, visiting 35 States of the
Union, England, Ireland, and Nova SEQ
tia.
Mr.. Gillian strikes one as being a clear
headed business man whose chief business
is his religion, and impresses one as being
a man of sympathetic nature, strong
faith, earnest purpose and logical mind.
His presentation of what he believes to
be the all-important truth OF liie,-belief
in the atoning and redeemng grace OF
God, through Jesus Christ,-is forcible,
and will than to the emotions, yet he
does not hesitate 10 place before men the
awful responsibilities and fearful penal.

great salvation" Hence he is never
guilty OF wire dra wing" orias the Scots
say, Spinning after his tow is done,"
but having presented the facts of the case
with all the intensity and fervor of his
being, makes a short appeal that men
should take that immediate and decisive
action which his premises and deductions
demand; IN which he much resembles the
late Mr.. D. l.. Moody, with whom he
was co worker for some time. During
the whole of his services there was hal.
lowed stiffness. which was in itself i'm.
pressve, but during the appeals, the tick
ing of the church clock could be distinctly
heard throughout the auditorium. The
me etings continued to grow in numbers,
power and interest to the end.

Your first report looks so good that
I'm little afraid Of it. Figures don't
lie know, but that's only because
they can't talk. AS a matter Of fact,
they're Just as truthful as the man
who's behind them.
It's been my experience that there
are two kinds of tigures-educated and
uneducated ones-and that the first are
a good deal like the people who have
had the advantage of a college educa-
ton on the inside and the disadvantage
of a society finish on the outside
they're apt to tell you only the smooth
and the pleasant things. OF course it's
mighty nice to be told that the shine
of your shirt front is binding the floor
managers best girl, but if there's a
hole in the seat Of your pants you
ought to know that, too, because sooner
or later you've got to turn your back
to the audience.
Now, don't go off half cooked and
think I'm allowing that you amt truth
full, because / think you are reason
ably so, and I'm sure that everything
you say in your report is true. But is
there anything you don't say in it?
A good many men are truthful on the
installment plan-that is, they tell their
boss all the good things in sight about
their end of the business and then
dribble out the bad ones like fellow
who's giving you a list of his debts.
They'll yell for a week that the busl-
ness of their department has increased
10 per cent and then own up in whis-
per that their selling cost has increased
20. In the end that always creates a
worse impression than If both sides of
the story had been told at once or the
bad had been told first. It's like buy
ing barrel of apples that's been dea-
coned-after you've found that the
deeper you go the meaner and worm
Ter the fruit, you forget all about the
layer Of big, rosy, wax finished pippins
which was on top.
never worry about the side of a
proposition that | can see. What l
want to get look at Is the side that's
out Of sight. The bugs always snug
gle down on the underside of the
stone.
The best year we ever had, In our
minds, was one when the superintend.
ent Of the packing house wanted an in
crease in his salary, and, to make a
big showing, swelled up his inventory
like poisoned pup. 1t took us three
months to wake up to what had hap.
pened and year to get over feeling as
If there was sand in our eyes when
we compared the second showing with
the first. An optimist is as bad as n
drunkard when he comes to figure up
results in business; he sees double. I
employ optimists to get results and
pessimists to figure them up.
After Eve charged off in my inven-
tory for wear and tear and deprecia-
ton l deduct little more just for luck
bad luck. That's the only sort Of
luck merchant can afford to make a
part Of his calculations.
The fellow who said you can't make
a silk purse out Of sows ear wasn't
on to the packing business. You can
make the purse, and you can fill 1t, too,
from the same critter. What you can't
do is to load up report with moon
shine or an inventory with wind and
get anything more substantial than a
moonlight sail toward bankruptcy.

SCHOONER SOLD.
Has Cruised in Chesapeake for More
Than Half Century.

Capt W. B. Stone has sold the two-mast-
ed bay schooner Henry H. Pitts to Mr.. j. T.
Wheeler of Baltimore and has retired to
take a rest after more than half century
spent in cruising ON Chesapeake bay and it's
tributaries.
Captain Stone began his life on the water
as a boy, but, firing of it, took up a shore
job and worked for several years at the
trade Of joiner and cabinet maker. In
1859 he returned to a sailors life, and since
that time has followed that calling. He is
known in nearly every port in Maryland,
Virginia and North Carolina, and has a host
of friends.
Captain Stones first command was the
schooner F. w. Johnson, which, belonging
to parties In Virginia, was captured In 1861
and sold as prize. He next took command
of the schooner Citizen, and was on her
when she was lost in Chesapeake bay In
1864. His next service was as master and
pilot of steam vessels, serving on various
Chesapeake bay vessels. firing of steam
boat service, he again took up sailing, and
as master and part owner has commanded
the schooners Flight, Carrie, Hattie u. Giles
and lastly on the stanch old schooner Henry
E. Pitts, which he has just sold. Captain
Stone has many friends here who will re-
greet his retirement from his lifelong calling.
