SHALL OWNESS IN PULPIT
EVANGELIST'S COMPLAINT
REVIVAL SERVICES WILL LAST
TWO WEEKS
Sessions Begin This Afternoon at
Haven church-German Pastor
Favors Keeping Teutons
Together

Evangelist ]. w. Mahood expressed the
idea that considerable shallow religion
prevailed among the ministers as we'll as
their congregations at this Methodist min
listers meeting yesterday morning.
Many people want to be excused from
active church work." said Evangelist
Mahood. ''They like to see large congre-
cations and good results If they can be
excused from active work.
There are many who try to cover up
their sins. Some of these when they get
to see themselves In their true light, with
stricken consciences, divulge some of
their former besetting sins.
ITO make a success of revival the
| ministers and the people must clear them
selves from everything that hinders the
true religious activity If they would
make everything right with God and
ineir fellow men revival would begin in
forty-eight hours.
| "A religious shallowness exists in peo-
| pie when a doubt arises regarding the
genuipeness of their calling. They do
not possess the keen edge of their Lord
and Master and seem to lack the message
| of authority.
for successful revival in Los Angeles. .
| Evangelist Potter followed with an in
! teresting address with reference to the
! T vival meetings.
| Announcement was made of the open
ing of the evangelistic meetings last night
at Haven church, to continue each night
for two weeks
| Afternoon sessions will be held from
| 8 to o'clock, beginning this afternoon
at the Haven church. The topic under
discussion will be How to Prevail with
God"
| Wednesday afternoon the meeting will
be held at Vincent church, the topic to
be The Victory of Courage"
| Thursday afternoon services, will be
held at the Vernon church. topic God s
Call to the Strong" and Friday after
noon at Hamilton church, "The Victory
of Obedience to be the topic
| Beginning last night and continuing
every night for two weeks Evangelist
Potter will hold evangeistic services at
the Union Avenue CHURCH.
With reference to- the general church
work Rev, Edward Funk. pastor of the
First German Methodist church. made a
! protest against the English speaking
ministers in exerting their influence In
gathering the German speaking strangers
within their fold instead of pointing them
to the German churches. He thought II
would be much better for the German
! speaking people to concentrate their
i forces in the German churches rather
than to scatter themselves among the
other churches.

WITHDRAWN FROM FOREST.
Large Area in Pend d'Orielle Noun
tains Open to Settlers.

Washington, March 16.-The Forest
service has received notice that 372, 900
acres Of land in Stevens county, Wash,
have been released from temporary
withdrawal. This land lies between
the Pend d'0reille river on the east and
the Colville and Columbia rivers on
the west. 1t is principally unsurveyed
and mountainous. The area was orig
inally withdrawn pending examination
to determine suitability for addition to
the Priest River national forest.
Its release was recommended by the
forester because Of numerous protests
by settlers against its reservation and
because protection of the watersheds
was not necessary in order TO conserve
any streams used for irrigation pur-
poses. Reports Of examiners show that
it is chiefly brush land area much
burned over, though small proportion
is timbered.
The released land will be subject to
settlement for 80 days before becoming
subject to entry.
