BUSINESS MEN SHOCKED.
MANY OF THEM OPENED THEIR
PLACES OF BUSINESS WITH
SHORT PRAYER

Eddy Thomas who until recently was
u bartender at Anderson, but who was
converted some time ago in Il series OF
revival meetings in that city. will
speak at First NJ. L. church Sunday al
tcrnOon al a public mass meeting at :
o'clock. For twelve years he was the
bartender i" one Of the leading cafe
in Anderson and was not only an eX-
pert in mixing connections. but was
widely known as d good fellow haN-
ing a host of friends. Eddy Thomas
is SAID to be an excellent singer and It
was always said of him that none
could cheer up the boys like Eddy"
Not only is he a singer of ability. but
he is no mean orator In fact he has
such natural gift along this line that
he has been unusually successful as an
evangelist and has been travelling from
one end OF the country. to the other
narrating his life's story. Hundreds
have been converted under his preach
ing and many think he surpasses Bill
ly Sunday. Being of a naturally cheer
full disposition Thomas never has a
dull moment and always has his audi
ence in a happy frame Of mind. How
ever he never hesitates to tell the
truth and his early career gave him an
opportunity to see the other side OF
life, consequently he is said to be able
to tell the fellows" a thing or two.
While this meeting is primarily for
men it is thought that the women

portion of the main auditorium will be
reserved for the men and the remain
der will be for the women. Mr.. Thorn

The above sentence was one of
many that were uttered last evening
by Rev. Tilman Hobson at the revival
services at First NJ. Z. church. The
Rev. Mr.. HObson was discussing some
of the un-Christian things the Ameri
can people do, yet boasting 10 be a
Christian nation. Rev. HObsOn also
startled the business men in the con-
gregation by asking how many of
them opened their places Of business
in the morning with prayer. Rev.
Hobson declares that too many peO-
pie claim they have Christianity and
yet fail to practice the most elemen-
tary principles of the faith. He de-
clares that it is no wonder that par
ents find their children in the thrOeS
of worldliuess and reviling the church.

that many parents are leaving TO their

"What a Woman Will Do"

The forthcoming production at the
Keylor Grand Theater on Sunday even
ing, March LIST is a decidedly novel one.
It's significant title, What Women

degrading it. This new drama paints
a powerful picture of modern life The
scenes are laid in the country and in
the city. The piece is full of startling
climaxes, novel scenes. quaint, homely
humor and tender pathos, and the stage
pictures are beautiful, especially the
village church and graveyard in win

brilliant cast of players. together with
number of specialties, are some of
the features Of this beautiful play.

MANY CHANGES ALONG THE

The last spike has been driven in

a few weeks palatial trains will be
running regularly over the new line. 1t
is hard to realize the vast changes that
have taken place along the historic Co
lumbia within the past 40 years or
even less. Forty years ago Jim Hill lit
tie thought that some day he would
control a vast railway system along
the Columbia river and little did the
pioneers of those days dream that
within a half century, a veritable en-
pire, then given over to the savages,
would be inhabited by thousands of
happy and prosperous people. The new
north bank road will play an import
ant part in the development of a great
section of country lying on the north
bank of the Columbia and already nu-
merous towns have sprung up along
the new line. These in time. will be-
come large cities as the country is set
tied up and developed.

SUNDAY CLOSING IN WASHING

Sunday closing in the state of

Today every large city in the state
is closed on Sunday. Seattle Tacoma,
Spokane. Bellingham, Everett Walla

strictly enforcing the law; already
30 out of the 81 counties have closed
the saloons in all parts of the county
on Sunday and several others are just
now carefully considering the ad
visibility of doing likewise.
Washington today has a population
of approximately 100000 people, and II
is safe to say that 100000 of them are
living in communities where the Sun
day law is now strictly enforced. For
the most part this has been brought
about during the past IL months and
has been due to the crystallizing of
public sentiment on this question in
such a way as to compel public off,
