the Gypsy Evangelist, ha, been stir
ring ihe hearts of all Washington 10
Ties proloundest depths Without
theological training, without culture
and with none of the gifts Of the ac-
kuowledged orator. crowds have flock
ed ,0 hear hm day hy day. and night
after night. and no building in the
crea, c,y ha, been found large enough
90 accommodate those who would
have heard him. The climax of the
marvellous meeting was reached on
Thursday night of last week when lac
marched at the head of 10000 follow
ems through the street, of the Nations
F CAPITAL city, singing as they went
and shouting out the gospel invita-
. tion into the ear, of the listening null
|uude-. What does it mean? Is
|the Gypsy mad or has all Washing
com gone mad

touched with q live coal from the altar
.ofhe living cod, and such is its
warmth of love that it moves other
hearts to love. and such its convincing
zeal that It's throb stirs kindred zeal
in other hearts.

and he stand, before fellow-men a
tower of strength. He knows the soul
want, of brother man and appeals
COB them as Senator, cannot. IL isn't
culture bat cousccra ion, it isn't semi
nary training but sovereign power.
Goi iu him and God goes out Of him
with c1uNicting and converting power.

Ex-Governor Douglass, of Massa-
chu-ctt,, and the worldwide shoe
man. wa. in Richmond just before the
election and i'm am interview expressed
the opinion that Bryan's chances were
better than ever before, but whether
he won or not the time was not far in
the future when the policies he rep
resented would prevail i'm this country
and ion this he must be strictly correct. /

livered that home-shot of a speech |
thirty days before the election instead |

now sunk and from which they will /
know mo- resurrection.
