fences Guessing. and Wonder
ing What Will be Next. Some
Of His Remarks.
Have you been attending the
revival meetings at the opera
house, conducted by Rev. Oscar
Lowry. II you have, then you
know that Rev. Lowry is a force.
full speaker. Not only that, but
he knows how to place gospel
truths in right place at the right
time. He backs up his remarks
literally with quotations from
the bible. He is pleasing yet
convincing in his sermons.
He is q rapid speaker and does
not tire those present with long
tedious meetings.
The song services conducted by
Prof. Stentz have been thorough.
ly enjoyed by all present.
The general interest in the
meetings has been good, not.
withstanding some very disa-
greeable weather. Rev. Low.
rvs subjects are all very timely,
and instructive. They are in
terspersed with many stories.
He works on general religious
principles-not the beliefs of any
one denomination, but attacks
the weak spots of all denomina-
tions. There are no hits and
misses-every sentence strikes
some one. One party remarked:
Every time he opens his mouth
he hits fellow hard" He let's
loose, of the truth, caring not
where it strikes. If he pleases
God he Is then doing his duty.
Following are some of his
LOWRY EPIGRAMS
taken at random from his SER
mons. They are good reading.
"Many men use religion as a
kind of fire escape.
"We work because we are
to be saved.
'Some men talk like angels at
church and use the language of
demons at home"
There are too many in the
churches trying to love both the
Lord and the deyil.
"Where one man reads the BIZ
BILE, one hundred read you and I,
professed christian.
"Many churches are thorough.
~ united, but the difficulty is
they are frozen together.
"This old world would be much
better If it had a little more taffy
and not so much cpl taphy.
81 don't like to hear women
talk Of heaven in the meeting
and then make a hell of their
homes.
"Simply going to church does
Mt make you a christian any more
than going to a stable makes you
a horse.
In many places the women
have become the pillars of the
church and the men are simply
(pillow) shams.
1.-THE devil will get a lot of you
fellows by the carload, but thank
God he wont get much when he
get some of you.
1.-THE best people in the world
are in the church, but there a lot
in the church that ought to be in
the penitentiary.
"The church dinner and sup
per racket is simply a scheme
whereby the goats are made to
pay the pasturage of the sheep.
"Any church that ceases to be
a missionary church will die Of
dry-rot every time. The light
that shines the farthest al
ways shines the brightest at
home.
every com munity is cursed
with it's old gossips who are al
ways looking for the latest, and
if there is no latest they will
hatch up something that would
blacken the character of an angel
ITO the average man one of
the most foolish things that the
fair sex of the church is heir to
is the dinner or supper racket.

He also suggested that the city pur- chase a small hose cart for use at the school house, and in cleaning streets; that the stumps be cleared out of the public streets;that a sewer be put in on D street, to the salt water; that city jail be built with two steel cells; and that property owners be required to pipe water into all buildings for fire protection.
 A further interesting suggestion was that dam be built on Bear creek, the small stream that runs through the city. By building this dam IS feet high, water could be stored to the amount of half-million gallons, or enough, as the Chief explained, to sup six one-ineh play pipes for five days and nights, continuously.
 Besides it's usefulness in fire pro- lection, the supply could be further increased and made to serve as a pow CT to run an electric light plant. In speaking of the matter the Chief urged the City to take it up, in case it did not see fit to do so, he was authorized, to ask for 1O-year franchise, to make the improvement, by private capital, the projectors undertaking to give the City the benefit of the fire protection, and also to reduce the expense of city and private lights.
 Mir. Mcdonald also recommended the purchase of the present water works system, by the City.
