is sin. Sin which creates an awful
severance between the soul and God.
Why is the brow furrowed, the cheek
pale, the heart in sorrow and the
mind distressed? Because Of sin. Are
you not aware that the very restless
ness of this city, the resentment evil
denced by large number Of people
against this revival movement, is
testimony to the existence of sin?
Men and women are disturbed. Wake
up to that fact before the day of visi-
tation ends. Get busy with your
friends and neighbors. Help them to
repent of sin and turn to Christ. All,
yes, it is sin which damns mems souls
for this life and for eternity that
troubles us. Rid ME of sin and you
chase the cloud from my brow, the
sorrow from my heart and the tear
from my eye. You give me songs of
deliverance in this day of pilgrimage.
This is the cry that comes over the
telephone wire from Grafton. This
is the petition that comes from Wah-
peton. This is the sobbing need of
the people who write us from Minot.
The worlds sorrow voices itself in
the prayer Take away our SIM"
Religious Drunk.
And the message which have to-
night is one of remedy. Jesus Christ
came into the world to save sinners.
God commendeth His love for us in
that while We were yet sinners Christ
died for us. Now. what? Well, this
is saying worthy of acceptation.
Every man, woman and child in this
town ought to accept Jesus love. \
lot of people, know. don't believe
this. A man said to me today, Il
don't believe in your revival meet
ings. think you are simply indulg-
ing in religious drunk" Well, that
is pretty good sort of a drunk after
all. Remember this is the same
charge that was brought against the
disciples on the day of Pentacost.
Would to God that the men of this
city who cross yonder bridge to spend
their money for that which is not
bread in their children's mouths for
that which is not clothing upon their
children's bodies, but poverty and
misery and grief and damnation and
hell to themselves and everyone else
might come into this building and get
just as drunk as l am tonight, just
as drunk as either Mr.. Davidson or
DR.. Robertson are We need nothing
so much in this town as little more
religious drunkenness. Remember
the apostle Paul wrote to the Ephes-
ians "Be not drunk with wine where
in is excess but be We filled with the
Spirit" We are not therefore drunk
on new wine but this is that which is
spoken of by the prophet "And it
shall come to pass in the last days."
saith God, Il will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy
and your young men shall see visions
and your old men shall dream
dreams"
In response to the invitation sew
eral persons came forward and made
start in christian life. A great deal
of very thorough personal work was
done. Five of those who made con-
fession of Christ were from out of
town points and so it has seemed
that the revival fire is spreading and
no one can tell where it will stop.
Schwab's School Of Steel Instruction.
1t is reported that Charles NJ.
Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel
company, has under consideration a
plan for the development of the steel
industry in the United States along
lines which are not only interesting,
but unique, so far as this country is
concerned. Mr.. Schwab proposes to
take leaf out of Kaiser Wilhelm's
book. In heavier steel work, it ap-
pears, the United States is without
a rival, but in the manufacture of
finer articles Germany is far in the
lead. This superiority is due to the
technical schools in which Germany
excels and to the activity of the en-
peror in promoting technical training.
Mr.. Schwab's plan contemplates prac-
teal and technical training at the
Bethlehem steel works. He is a close
student as well as a sincere admirer
of German methods, and the hopes to
improve upon these methods. Three
thousand apprentices, boys and
youths, are to be taken into the Beth
lehem works. A great technical
school will be established in connec-
ton with the plant. Thus the appren-
tees will have the benefit of both
theory and practice-of school and
factory. Mr.. Schwab will turn out
finished artists" If his plan succeeds.
There will be no weak spots in the
armor Of our steel works when Mr.
Schwab's apprentices graduate. No.
thing in the Industrial development
of the United States is more wonder
full than the growth of our steel in
dustry. Yet much remains to be ac-
complished, according to the practical
men at the head of the steel plants.
II Mr.. Schwab succeeds with his plan,
the steel workers of the United States
will, in good season, make the finest
and most delicate grades of tools for
the arts and sciences and all indus
tries, as we'll as the tools which are
used in the vast steel establishments.
Mr.. Schwab worked his way up to
the top of the ladder by ability and
energy. From millworker to mag
nate Of steel and financier his evolu-
ton has been on natural lines, in
keeping with the rise of other mag
mates from obscurity to riches and
prominence. Whether his plan is
practicable or not, it is inspired by
