The Meeting at The Baptist Church.

The revival services continue at
the Baptist church with Increasing
power. At s o'clock in the morn

Many people have professed Christ
and many others are interested.
The meetings will go on every day
this week and through Sunday.
Everybody is invited to come.

Street Lecture.

Last Sunday afternoon Mr.. A. L.
George, as he styles himself, "a Tex
as convict" lectured in front of the

gathered to hear him.
His lecture was short, but during
his speech he gave some advice to
the boys, to whom he said he want
ed to speak especially, telling them
to avoid bad companions, cigarettes,
intoxicants, and to obey their par
ents. He told them how easy it is
to get in trouble and how hard it
IS to get out. He warned the
boys present against any prison
life.
Mr.. George produced evidence
that he was victim of fearful
mistake, being arrested, tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged for
the murder Of man whom he had
never seen, his sentence being after
wards changed to life Imprisonment,
serving over five years in the peniten-
tiary. He EXHIBITED to the crowd
the Governors pardon with the seal
Of the state Of Texas affixed thereto,
also the proclamation of the Govern
or and the dying confession of the
true murderer, who, by the way.
was g North Carolinian from States
Vile.
At the conclusion of his lecture he
stated that he did not ask any one
to give him one cent, but that he
had prepared a pamphlet giving
more in detail his life in prison, and
he offered these for safe, Of which
he sold quite a number.
He left on the evening train Tor

Publicity.

Child labor reform had its innings
last Saturday at Cincinnati. The Ma
tional Child Labor Committee held its
third annual meeting and discussed
with the aid of Senator Albert j.
Beverage (Indiana), Professor Felix
Adler, Jane Adams, DR.. Samuel
McCune Lindsay, Arthur r.. Vance,
and other leading lights in child labor
reform work, the present efforts to
abolish this national evil. Mr.. Vance,
who is editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, described the very i'm
portant connections of publicity, or
printers ink with present day reform
movements. He said in part:
1.-The manufacturer who has a pro-
duct in which he believes, spends
thousands Of dollars in buying public
ity in the newspapers and magazines
to tell the people of the country about
the vitures of his product We call
this sort of publicity, advertising, and
it is good advertising if this product
lives up to the claims ne makes for it.
We who are interested in reform, do
precisely the same thing when we
take steps to interest the newspapers
and magazines in our pet theories,
and if our reform is a good thing the
people OF the country will stand by
and back us up. In other words, ad-
vertising publicity and reform pub
lefty Doth accomplish the same thing
They arouse public interest and pub
lie sentiment in favor of the object
which they have in view. We have
come to a place greater dependence
than ever upon the power Of printers
ink in molding public opinion.
