Oil on Troubled Land.

Oil is not only poured on the trou-
bled watersbut also on agitated terra
firma. \Some 5000 miles of the
roadways ofCalifornia are now treat
ed with oil for the purpose of lay
ing dust. The results are said to
be most promising, and partly per
haps because of the peculiar climat-
ic conditions in southern Californ-
ia. The climate is dry, so that the
difficulty has always been to pre-
vent the road surface from loosen
ing, since there is not sufficient
moisture to bind the road materials.
The oil used has an asphalt base
and differs in this regard from the
crude OF, available elsewhere. Eek.

upon the situation.

tend to con6rr the report from

WORKERS AT BIJOU
DR.. Stough's Audience Is Made Up Of
Busy Men and Women.

At the Bijou the audience was enthu-
siastic, and the spirit Of the service did
not suffer for lack of numbers.
The audience was chiefly made up of
business men and employees from the
wholesale and manufacturing district.
Men and women from the factories were
in the majority, and they joined in the
preliminary song service heartily. DR..
F. A. Sumner then offered a short
prayer. In announcing the program
Of services thruout the city Rev. h.
Slough spoke incidentally of the prayer
services held in all the churches. He
said that altho he had heard no formal
report from the pastors, he was conf
dent that the meetings would result in
added vigor to the evangelistic move
ment. Mr.. Collision sang, s'The Fair
est of the Fair,' and was followed by
DR.. Slough, who gave the regular noon
address. He took as his text "Sin.' -
BE sure your sins will find you
out This is the word Of God, who
also says, He that covereth his sins
shall not prosper You can It hide
your sins; yon can It bury them or sink
them. Only God help will keep them
from constantly arising and cursing
you. Without Gods antidote the poi
son of sin will surely destroy you, but,
thank God, this antidote may be had
for the asking The fact that many of
us are in sin today is because we have
failed to ask for forgiveness. Let us
! arise today and 90 to our Father for
this forgiveness which is waiting fo1

At the close Of the meeting several

With their people the victims Of the

Thousands are suffering from wounds,
property has been destroyed and the
greatest present suffering is due to the
Of escape. ..--...
Just what will be done in Minneapolis
has not yet been decided. However,
the impetus to great relief movement
has been received in the form Of a
telegram from Jacob H. SchiH of New
York to Jonas We'll of 724 New York
Life building, who is a member OF the

this morning reads as follows:
"On behalf Of national committee

MINNEAPOLIS today bore testimony to
the great fruits already borne by the
evang gelistic campaign. This was the
day DESIGNATED by DR.. J. Wilbur Chap
man, the evangelistic leader, as the day
of prayer. Business men and women
bv the thousand gave up the usual
nTrsuits and pleasures Of the noon hour
to attend gospel meetings IN the thea
ters thruout the commercial district
There they were addressed by differ
ent evangelists, in brief, earnest expo
sitions of biblical texts and appeals Tor
both individual and civic righteousness;
PRAYERS full of sincerity were ohered
by ministers and laymen, and the audi
ence at each place had quiet momehts
for Individual prayer. ..,
In all some 5000 persons attended the
noon meetings in the five theaters open
for services. The vast majority OF
those in the audiences were business
people, representing all professions, ali
lines of trade and all grades and kinds
Of employees.

The noon theater meetings were but
a fitting sequel to the special prayer
meetings held thruout the city IRON
$3.50 to 9:30 am. in all the leadlng
churches, each pastor presiding In nlS
own church. The meetings were fo1
the most part we'll attended, we!e tx
ceedingly devout and very gratifying
to the ministers and workers.
At the Metropolitan theater, by tive
minutes past 12 today people were be
ing turned away because every sea-
was occupied. DR.. Strouse addressed
one Of the largest gatherings the Met
