the largest church in Abingdon, seating 500 people. It soon proved altogether too small, and with typical western energy the people, led by the evangel- ists themselves, set to work to erect tabernacle that would accommodate the crowds. With the assistance of about 90 volunteers, a tabernacle seat
 ing 2,000 was efrttGd in three days. Not penny WAS ppeEt for labor. It contained semi-e4rcular platform ac- commodating 300; was lighted with electricity, heated with stoves. Then the meetings went forward with re- doubled vigor. The tough young men of the town attended nightly, the farmers drove in from all the sur rounding district, and the building proved none too large to hold the throngs which gathered day by day.
 People say it is in answer to prayer that the work began. The young evangelists and their helpers make it a rule to spend an hour daily in prayer. The people quickly caught the religious fervor, and they, too, spent hours upon their knees. During

narrative put into newspaper form, and decision card which could be signed by any reader and sent the evangelists. It created great intetrest.
 Rev. F. l.. Hanscom, pastor of the Congregational church In Abingdon, in giving one of the revival editions" his impressions of the work, said: The great revival which is sweeping over the city is the greatest blessing that has come to it since its inception. The churches are united as never be- fore. Christians love one another as at no other time. And there are more saved souls in Abingdon to-day than at any period of her past history. Five hundred and more have been won- drously and gloriously converted to God. Husbands have been saved and liberated from habits that bound them and made them slaves-wives have been saved from indifferent lives and made to shine anew for Jesus-while scores have gone back to the grave where they years ago buried all their hopes, and bidding them come forth, came back with shining faces, saying: The lost is found; henceforth and for ever we live for Jesus.' Pay-it has paid many thousand-fo1d No valua- tion can be placed upon the good done during this revival meeting.
 Praise Work of EvangeIists.
 Christian people should thank God for the coming of Hicks and Gallo way. They have awakened us aroused us-led us into a closer walk with God, and best of all, have piloted 300 precious souls over the turbulent waters of sinful world to the foot of the Cross. Thank God-but God be praised for the great, the marvellous, the glorious work of grace. Let all the people say Amen"
 The greatest day of the revival was the day which the people spent in fasting and prayer. The public schools and stores closed part of the morn ing, while Hedding college had no session throughout the day. About 1000 people assembled at the taber. nacle at 10:30 a. m. to listen to a ser mon by MT. Hicks; and thereafter the service continued for over 12 hours It was nearly II p. m. when they final ly left the tabernacle. All the people didn't stay the entire 12 hours, but the meeting went on without break, md the average present througho4t "he day was fully 600. Hundred. Ipent four to eight hours at the tabernacle singing praises an6 praying. Between five aud six o'clock all knelt and con- tinued an hour upon their knees. Their prayers were answered in a re- markable manner. In the afternoon noted local character for whom mary had been praying went to the

The revelations regarding fraudu. lent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commits sioner, have occasioned almost as much of sensation as the exposure Of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked Pure White Lead' often contain other substances such as chalk barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, SO called White Leads" contain not an iota of genuine White Lead.
 The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their con- tents. That would enable every paint buyer to buy intelligently.

Bibles in Great Demand.

One of the most striking visible re, suits of the awakening was the in- creased demand for Bibles and Testa- ments. The dealers could not get them in fast enough. First Chicago was drawn upon and then New York. It seemed as if every boy and man in the town wanted to carry Testament or Bible in his pocket And in their enthusiasm the converts were not par. ticular about the pocket Bible being very small. One evening a 15-year-old boy walked into the store and paid S2.50 for Bible, telling the dealer he was going to spend all the next day reading it.
 Numerous Pocket Testament Leagues" have been organized among the boys and girls and young people of the town. Each member carries a testament in his or her pocket, reads the Scriptures daily and endeavors to win others to Christ. The members meet weekly at one another's homes for testimony and prayer
 Another result of the revival is that several have decided to become preachers or Gospel singers. One lad, about 15 years of age, said he had de- cided to become minister, while an other about 12 said that was what he wanted to do. A young workman in factory says he hopes shortly to go to the Moody Bible Institute to pre- pare for evangelistic work. He told

ISLE OF GUERNSEY
Odd Customs of Other Days Main tained by inhabitants of This Little Spot in the Sea-SmalI Paradise Surrounded by Wild and Awful Coast.

"We live in constant terror" said the Guernseyman, .of being ceded by England to France; but by virtue of holding us, the king of England is duke of Normandy, and he would scarcely relinquish his last claim to that title."
 The peasants of little Guernsey speak the old Norman French, says a writer in the Travel Magazine. The whole island uses French currency as wei. as English; French names are everywhere, and the principal families are of Norman descent; yet the Guern- seyman voiced popular sentiment.
 The island is intensely, proudly English, when the question of belong ing to any government arises; but it is still more proud of belonging on the whole--this little garden in the sea to its own tidy self.

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy Cure by Cuticura.

My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest. and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuti- cura Remedies that thought would give them trial. The improvement was noticeable in few hours, and before had used one box of the Gu ticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cieansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflammation at once. Per haps this may be the means of help ing other suffering babies.

Proper Method of Walking.

walking, the step must be light and elastic; swing the body so easily from one leg to the other that it's weight is not felt. The harmonious play of the muscles imparts a supple grace and litheness that is felt mentally as well as physically, and produces a healthy glow, showing that the slug gish blood Is stirred to action in the most remote veins. This manner of walking, as may be imagined, strengthens the whole body, giving tone to the nerves and producing just the sort of healthful fatigue which encourages sound rest and beautiful nlumher

Abingdon, Ill-A remarkable re- vival has swept over this town, con verting all save 200 or 300. The place Is transformed. The streets ring with Gospel songs day and night. Cottage prayer meetings are now the fashion able thing. Young hoodlums who loafed about, gambling and swearing. now spend their leisure hours reading their Bibles and praying. The con- munity has been moved in much the same manner as were the Welsh viii lages in the height of the awakening there.
 The movement began under the leadership of two young evangelists, Ira Evans Hicks and E. s. Galloway, assisted by Homer Alexander, brother of Charles NJ. Alexander, the famous Gospel singer. Some idea of the up- heaval wrought by the revival may be gained from the fact that there were over TOO converts, with scores of back sliders reclaimed, in town of only about 2,500 population.
 The meetings began a month ago in

Der of cases four or five members of one family were converted. One young man arose in a meeting and testified that his father Gan ex-saloon keeper) and R1other and five brothers and four sisters had been saved-11 in all.
 In the large wagon factory in Alb ingdon scores of the men went for ward and professed salvation. The en- tire atmosphere of the place was changed. Scarcely half a dozen men were left unconvertted. Instead of drinking and swearing at the dinner hour, l. they now have daily song service and prayer meeting. One of the factory converts was an atheist for many years, who roundly cursed everything Christian. He now carries little Testament in his pocket wher- ever he goes. Another convert was a notorious character about the town, drinking and carousing, and being once nearly killed in brawl. He is a big, vigorous man, and is now throw ing all his energy into winning oth- CTS. Within four days after his con version he had led nine old compan- ions to the front to publicly confess their faith.
 Students Brought to Grace.
 Hedding college is located in Abing- don, and the revival wrought a big change there. Of the 150 regular stu dents all but four or five are now con verted. As one of the professors ex- pressed it; Nobody tries to keep track of the prayer meetings. The at tendance varies from two up to almost the whole number of students"
 One of the most enthusiastic con- verts was the editor of one of the local newspapers. He helped promote the movement and spread the fire into the country districts by placing his pa per in the hands of the evangelists for week They issued three revival editions describing the work in Alb ingdon, and giving news of the world wide awakening. In each issue there were about two columns of Scripture
