A River of Sulphur.

A dispatch from Galveston, Texas, states
that two Mexican scientists who have just
returned from their exploration of Mt.
Cerro Dolores report that great stream of
pure sulphur is flowing day and night from
the crater of the volcano, which for some
years has been regarded as extinct. So far
as known this is the only vOlcano in the
world that emits unadulterated sulphur
and the find is considered to be valuable as
the scientists say that the sulphur can be
contained in lake and used eventually for
the usual commercial purposes.

TO MAKE MEN BETTER

This week the churches of Topeka
will begin a series of evangelistsc
meetings, probably the greatest in the
history Of the city. Services will be
held simultaneously in the Auditorium
and in three other districts of the city
1t is expected that they will arouse
widespread interest. for the churches
have been preparing for them for
months, and nearly, if not quite all, of
the evanEelistic denominations of To-
peka are united in them.
Some people do not believe in such
services but how there can be any
legitimate objection to any movement
to make men better is difficult to see
And that is the object of all evan
gelistie meetings. If they do not ac-
complish that they are failures. That
there is need for such a movement in
Topeka is shown by the two murders
and the suicide which have occurred
within the past forty-eight hours, to
say nothing of the minor crime and
sin that exists.
These services will be conducted by
a corps of men who have achieved
fame for work along evanEelistic lines
Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle
and other cities have been the scenes
of remarkable religious awakening
under their influence. 1t is not the
evangelists who really count, however.
It is the spirit of the people of city
that makes or mars a movement of
this character.
The object of services of this kind
is to make men stop and think of the
really great things of life-wFat is
worth while: to make them think of
all that comes Notwithstanding; to
present to them the teachings of the
savior of men and his claims upon
them. These things are more power
full than anything else in making men
better, for men cannot seriously con-
slider these. the great things of life,
without doing better, whether they ac-
knowledge It or not.
