GREAT REVIVAL

Cooper, w Va, Aug. 30.-Two
weeks ago last Friday Rev. j. II.

list, came into our town and pitched
his tent and now the meeting has
been in progress for two weeks to-
day, and it is gratifying to know
how many poor souls have been
converted during the two weeks.
fifty or sixty. and still the good
work is going on. and Brother New
berry does not know when he will
close the meeting. oh, what won
derful man he is. Just think, a
man with only an ordinary educa-
tion. He was really too wild and
mischievous In his boyhood days to
even receive a good home educa-
ton. Surely the power of God is
with him or he could not preach
thusly. He has real large tent
and it s packed every service, and
many people cannot get in. He is
thinking of adding % feet more
to the tent. One just cannot stay
away from his meetings, once you
hear him, the ground is already
broken; he makes the way SO clear
and distinct that child ten years
of age understands the meaning.
One thing that makes his meetings
so attractive, is he has one of the
sweetest sing rs In the country.

Every man To uls trade" Is an
old adage and is familiar to nearly
all or us. 1t is brief in its wording
but conveys a great deal In its mean
ing. 10 is merely a terse way OF
laying that a man who makes a spe-
ialty OF any one thing knows more
about, and Is more proficient in his
particular speciality than any one
else could be. 1t is for this reason
that we all seek specialist when
re have any serious physical all
meut. It Is for the same reason that

above the surface of the stream a white
face which shows inhumanly like a large
cotton feck.
BY twenty-nine minutes past almost
everybody is in the mill. But the mill is
still dark. 1t is full of people, but it Is
dark.
The moment has come, however, for the
light, for power, for work. for the down.
to-a second and down-to-a-cent percalcu-
lated frenzy of modern manufacturing. AT
$50 precisely, not second sooner, not Il
second later, there is a binding blaze
of light from every window in the mill;
there is belching clamor of machinery
through the open door.
Then the door swings shut and absolute
silence is restored to the street. So Is
absolute loneliness. The sidewalks are
deserted The night is still black. Every
thing is exactly as it was when you first
stepped ashore from Your boat, except
that the enormous bulk of the mill has
changed from gray to gold. But this is
enough. Fall River is itself again. In
that first minute of its workday, from 80
to 6:31, it is making two miles of cotton
cloth, just as it, will make another two
miles of cotton cloth during every other
working minute till supper time.

and the Intellectual footlights on the boats
make 1t seem darker by contrast.
But by $50 o'clock they rise early in
New England) little blurred lights in sec
ond-story windows, here and there along
the winding. climbing streets of the town.
begin to respond smudgily to the holding.
swaying lights on mast and gunwale down
below.
BY quarter to figures appear on the
sidewalks. Male figures. Female figures.
If you will go and stand near one of the
big mills you will see these figures con-
vereing toward you down all the streets
Of the neighborhood
The mill itself at 6 o'clock, begins to
open an eye or two. Not many. They
are frugal in New England. Just one
or two scattered gas jets or electric light
bulbs, here and there, shining conserva-
lively through crusted window panes.
By five minutes past & the current of
indstinct human forms setting toward
the mill is a real current; not trickle of
drops any more, but a steady, united
stream, which flows like a heavy liquid,
silently, thickly. through the gate of the
mill into the grounds into the big door
up into the dimly lighted first, second,
third. fourth story levels.
For half an hour that current flows,
deep, dull. dark. The only break in its
color is that it is f1ecked reminiscently in
spots with the cotton fiber of yesterday.
while every now and then girl lifts
