says. beggars description, each meet
Ing surprising all others until on Sun

night. with only necessary intermissIon.
The people attended In great crowds.
without regard to the severe winds or
very disagreeable. At the sunrise
meeting more than 100 persona arose
before daybreak to meet Mr.. Wiley
and to pray for seventy persons not
yet converted. Before the Monday
night meeting, closed there were only

fifty years. and score were heads OF
families.
Words fail me-. the pastor writes,
that grew to be common with us. as
men and women who had resisted the
gospel until gray with years and in
some instances feeble arose one after
another and came to kneel at the altar
midst the tears of children and grand
children.
'Nlr Wiley was at his best. never
knew a man to make more of the Bible
than he does. He has justly won the
hearts OF all. Five hundred people

Bryan's Visionary Anti-Tru st
Scheme. J.:

Pressed by Governor Hughes for an
explanation of the practical operations
of his plan for forbidding corporations
to supply more than fifty per cent Of
the demand for the wares they produce,
Mr.. Bryan says that "the details could
easily be adjusted later.'' That is Ger
tainly characteristic reply. But in
every undertaking there is grave
danger IN adjusting details later; there
is grave danger in taking even the first
step until details have been adjusted,
whether one is going to war or making
laws or entering the grocery business
The details are all important; if they
will work out and have been worked
out the battle is won. 1t frequently
happens that details cannot be adjust
ed later and they can never be adjusted.
They could never have been adjusted
had debtors been free to pay in debased
metal what creditors claimed in honest
coin; they could never have been ad-
justed had this country accepted the
theory that it could shake off the
Philippines as one shakes off an old
shoe, and they can never be adjusted in
dealing, as he woeld deal, with thou
sands of combinations and millions
of products and a fluctuating market.
