THE CONVERSION OF SAUL.
Fine Sermon at tho Christian Revival
Preached by GilIiland.

Last night at the Christian church
Evangelist Gilliland preached what was
pronounced by many, the greatest Cos
pei sermon of the revival. From the
Bible viewpoint it was impregnable.
Taking as his subject. THE CONVEX
sion of Saul by Tarsus," the evangelist
realized that he was on disputed
ground Never in the whole address
did he make proposition that he did
not ask the audience to turn with him
to certain passages and read the Bible
proof for his statements. Every point
was supported by many texts. The au-
dience gave the deepest interest and
attention turnout.
Rev. Mr. Gillilands knowledge of the
Bible seems inexhaustible. His work is
doing a great good to the whole
church, even aside from the many adj
ditions to the membership.
One person made the confession OF
faith and two were baptized at the
close of the service. Tonight will be
the last sermon before Sunday.

final drop Of the curtain. Intermingled
with the story OF intense heart interest.
the writer has injected pleasing
quantity Of wholesome comedy, which
many times conveys his audience from
tears to laughter. The production car
ried by the company is complete in ev-
cry detail and the cast is said to be,
not only the best selected for each and
every part, but one of the strongest
that has ever appeared at popular
prices.
The play is entirely different from
the general run of melodramas seen
on the popular priced circuit this sea-
son. as 1t is entirely devoid of gun
play and sensationalism. Prices %, 80

Gust Womans Way" a new five
act comedy drama which was recently
successfully produced on the eastern
circuit, comes to the Odeon Sunday
night, Nov 90 The play is from the
pen Of s. W. Pascoe, long associated
with Lincoln j. Carter OF Chicago. Mr..
Pascoe has taken the old story Of "love
will find the way" for his theme, but
presents it in an entirely new and re-
freshing way. Every character is well
drawn and clean cut. The story is pre-
scented in a manner which compels in

The board Of supervisors, when It
came to check over the bills Of the Of
f1cials Of the recent general election.
deducted IS from the bill of each. As
a result some Of the election officials
are UP in arms and are threatening to
bring suit to collect. The reason for
the reduction was that the board knew
that the Farmers and Merchants Tel
ephone company would pay, thru the
city offices, IS to each official for the
election on the franchise. A majority Of
the members of the board believed that
this IS for each, in addition to the pay
asked for in the bills filed, was too
much. The bills ranged from $3.50 for
members of the Second ward board to
s12 for those Of the Fourth ward, who
were on duty for more than twenty
four hours.

A Hopeful Sign.
GREAT GOOD TO COME FROM THE AU'
TOMOBILE MANIA.

In one New England town Of no great
homes to buy automobiles. We have
this on the word of a clergyman, and re-
gard it as a hopeful sign.
In Japan, as travellers report, the com
mon people are happy. Westeners are
surprised at their gay carefree air. This
is because they are not burdened with
exacting possessions. A family owns
few kimonos, a couple of mats, a chest
20 it has nothing on its mind. A Jap
anese with surplus funds buys an extra
fine fish and eats it, instead of foolishly
laying out the money In some
thing that will involve care.
In America, on the other hand, all
people are miserable, because the fruit
of everybody's energy, over and above
that necessary to bare subsistence, Is
expended in a manner that continually
demands expenditures of more energy

went out to the apple stand and bought

equally, but found that he had seven

that he carried out later on.
The elephants were standing in a
row. heads all one way. and the man
began ut one end of the row. giving
one apple to each. When he got to
the lower end Of the line he was
about to go back. continuing the dis
tribution as he went, but he suddenly
thought that It would never do to give
two APPLES In succession to the ele-
plant ut the enc of the row. for ele-

So he went la:lI to the head Of the
line again and came down. distributing
the apples as he had done at first. but
when he reached the foot Of the line
he had one apple left What was he
to do with it? 1t seems that he had
already determined what to do with 1t.

Mrs. Balsam refrained then from ex.
patiating on the ability or tho inability
Of her sex to judge of the good points Of

she bought razor. Mr.. Balsam object
ed to using it on the ground that since
she bought 1t he knew 1t was worthless,
and was therefore likely to cause him to
cut his own throat, but since 1t was the
only razor at hand he was overruled by
her arguments and finally consented to
shave himself.
