Alexander B. Davidson, who assists
as musical director and SOloiSt in the
meetings of Rev. Tilman Hobson in
the Broadway Presbyterian church, was
first employed in handling leaf tobacco
in Louisville, Ky. Being a natural mu-
stefan he belonged to several organiza-
lions where his ability in this direction
was shown. His talents developed un-
til he was called by Dr. ]. Wilbur Chap
man to assist in evangelistic meetings.
Since that time he has been engaged
in this work. He was member of the
Kentucky delegation to the general
conference in Los Angeles, being the
youngest delegate in the convention.

men most fully able to cope with the
devil and the snares placed at every
available place to catch the feet of the
unwary This man, Daniel S. Toy. was
not always a Christian and from the
fact that he was once outside of Gods
circle, he is more able to recognize
the conditions that must be met in the
handling of sinners and bringing them
TO Christ
He was born in Pennsylvania and
his early life was spent in mercantile
pursuits He is most ably fitted for the
work which he has chosen and is so
thoroughly familiar with the bible that

came TO this country in 1882. When Il
young man he was engaged i'll selling
| dry goods in Belfast, Ireland, and one
April morning he came to work as us
ual, and as he stepped behind his
counter, he was asked the following
question by his fellow clerk: Frank,
would you like to become Christian?"
The question took the young man by
surprise, but in that moment it seemed
to him that it came as voice from
heaven, and he answered quickly:
Eyes, | would" This was the begin
ming of life that was destined to be
consecrated to His service The young
man who asked the question is now a
minister of the gospel in New Zealand
Does Work Himself.
From that ime on he has carried on
a vigorous and aggressive campaign
for his Saviour. the most of his work
being along musical lines. After COM
ing to this country he was engaged as
salesman for many years, always
keeping up the good work for God
whenever opportunity offered, and it
is a question with him today whether
he is as effective as a church worker
now as he was while behind a sales
counter.
In the year 1894 he accepted a call
to become an evangelist and has been
engaged in this great work ever since.
He went through some pretty hard
campaigns in the west during the times
when men were drifting like sheep
without a shepherd, and he was instrIi-
mental in turning many a man who
had fallen, seemingly beyond redemp- |
ton, to the Lord.

Associated with Rev. D. S. Toy in

son. a musician of marked talent. He
has been assisting most ably in the
work of salvation by means of his
beautiful solos and by leading the large
chorus choir, which has responded so
freely to the call for singers for the
meetings in the Memorial Christian
church.
The success that has been attained
by the large number of voices is large

SEVASTOPOL IN FEAR.
The People Are Told to Look Out for
Themselves.

SevastopOl, Sept. SIN answer to
the publication of a notice from the
terrorists that a sentence of death had
been imposed on Colonel Dumbadze,
commander of a rife regiment here,
the officers of that corps in an open
letter have announced that in case of
an attack being made on the colonel
they will exact vengeance on the
leaders of the progressive parties
Admiral Skrydlof. commander Of
the Black sea fleet and the military
commander here, are very apprehen-
siye, both regarding the attitude of the
sailors of the feet and the garrison of
the fortress. The annual cruise of the
training squadron as well as the regu-
lar fleet maneuvers have been aban-
doned- The warships will only make
short trips to sea, scarcely venturing
beyond the range of the guns of the
forts.
The military patrols in the city have
been withdrawn inside the wall of the
forts, the governor announcing that
military training. but it is said that the
step is due to fear that the soldiers will
be corrupted if they are allowed to be
in contact with the masses. The mer-
chants of this city have practically
been thrown on their own resources
In the matter of protection from law
lessness. The governor, at recent
meeting of merchants. advised them to
organize their own guard for the pro-
lection of property as soldiers could
not longer be spared for police duty
and as the municipality is bankrupt
and unable to maintain efficient pro-
lection.
The Jews who are in a chronic state
of terror interpreted the withdrawal
of the troops as evidence that the mob
was to be let loose on them and that
they were responsible for the alarrlist
reports, that ant-Jewish outbreaks
were imminent. which reached the
