Twice yesterday the men of Walla
Walla were given an opportunity to
listen to one of the greatest divines in
America, Newell Dwight Hills. D. D.,
of Plymouth church, Brooklyn.
Long before the time for service to
begin. the FIRST Congregational church
was filled with an audience eager to
hear the words of the great pastor, and
it was richly rewarded.
Of the three great talks which Rev.
Hills made in Walla Walla the one
Yesterday morning was in many re-
spects the greatest. History and BIZ
ography were drawn from freely to
prove the thesis of the speaker that
the man who is inspired with the spirit
of God can do great things.
The sermon was longer than usual
but the audience which sat entranced
under the magic eloquence of the
speaker, did not know that until it was
over and they Strengthened up in their
seats and came back to the world of
sense.
With masterful logic DR.. Hills main
tained that the stuffy world of iron,
buildings and things was unreal. COM
pared with the world of the emotions.
1t was ideas. not environment. that
determined what a civilization was.

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted In Her
Endorsement Of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most Of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along q
possible incumbent who met with her
approval
1.-The reason am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said. lis because he
has the right kind of wife for q
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. found out long
while ago-shortly after was mar
ried myself, In fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents 1t on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear peep out of him."
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last &C
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.
