SUPPLYING THE GOODS.
Editor Truth:


religious revivalist, is holding heaven
ly awakenings here in the Third regi-
ment armory, for poor, lost sinners.
He breaches a literal and sure
enough hell. Like old Peter Cart
wright he holds his congregation on
the gridiron till the roasting gives
them the jerks. He talks to them
like a patent medicine circular; tells
them that somewhere in their anat-
omy they have a sin-sick soul. He
describes symptoms enough to reach
every one in the room. He says the
devil is genuine, actual chap, who
has outwitted God at every stage of
the game and has made more than
hundred follows to Gods one, and his
TaAo is still increasing; that a real
devil is behind every sin-sick symp-
tom; that when a person has a bear
ing down pain it is a sin-sick symptom
and is the devil bearing down; that
when the heart fiutters with fear it is
Satin who is Earring it; that when
you have a bad taste in the mouth,
and try to remove it with bitters, it is
the devil who puts the cup to the lip.
Mr.. TORY said his "etheric vapor" or
remedy is sure devil killer, and all
person has to do to get a few bottles
is to stand up and hold up his hand.
To all who held up their hands Mr..
TORY passed few invisible punches
of "Pearly Gates" a few miles of
"gold-paved Streets" The great ar
ray of golden harps that he said he
was giving them made Held's band
look like string of Jews'harps All
those who did not poke up their right
hands he was going to send straight
down where they would not need an
overcoat, and where ice is as scarce
as honesty in the Tribune office. Mr.
TORY made many great and wonder
full promises, but he cannot supply the
goods.
Near the corner of Broad street and
Columbia avenue, in this city, l heard
a young man from Ogden speak the
other night. This young man did not
speak of the "harps of heaven" or the
"heat of Hades." He did not hand out
any bouquets from the Garden of
Eden, or anything from the lake of
fire. He told his hearers the story of
Utah, the beautiful. He advertised
goods that l know he can supply. l
will try and repeat it. He took his
hearers up Ogden canyon. He showed
them the high, perpendicular rocks,
one piled upon another till their snowy
SUBMITS reach above the clouds. He
pointed to the giant pines on their
crests, where the roots cling so ten
aciously to the rocks for the little
nourishment they receive, and then
to the rocky shelves and the hidden
caverns. where the American eagle,
that emblem of liberty, builds it's nest,
and said that the people of Utah were
always ready and willing to fight for
the Stars and Stripes and the country
that flag represents. He pointed to
the hundreds of streamlets and
springs that flow from these rocks,
clear as crystal and sparkling like
clusters of diamonds in the MONDAY
sun. He said a draught of this water
was as palatable and invigorating as
the nectar of the gods. He took his
audience to the power dam, where
man Sas harnessed the Ogden river.
He followed the great six-foot pipe,
tresseled over ravines and tunneled
through the rocks (thus showing that
inventive and untiring man will over
come all obstacles in nature), till we
reached the great power plant He
told us of the mighty power that was
so quietly generated there to feed ten
thousand incandescent lamps which
dispel the gloom of night in the
Gal ntt
