During timer long association in
evangelistic work Sankey had
charge of the singing. Incidentally
heb wrote hundreds of hymns,
-GluE.cs that are peculiarly fraught
with hope and faith and fervOr of
soul. These were published in half
a dozen or more volumes which
brought him handsome royalties.
The most famous is THE Ninety
and Nine"
Sankey was stricken with blind
ness in 1903 and since that time
had lived in retirement in Brook
Ign. A year prior to this affection
he had transferred his allegiance
to the Presbyterian church.
Following Moody's death in 1899
Sankey continued his evangelistic
work internationally, but not with
| the oldtime vigor. He felt keenly
J the loss of his associate. Finally the
strain became too great and he
gave up most of his engagements
Thereafter he gave attention to
the compilation Of new series OF
hymnbooks, the work affecting his
eyes and finally bring total
blindness. With blindness came
also nervous breakdown. He has

Special Correspondence to The Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Half a
million souls won to the faith OF
Christ by the magic sweetness OF
one voice.
Fifty million copies of books of
his songs in the hands of wor-
shippers throughout the world.
Ninety and Nine" as well
known and just as much favor
lite all along the outposts of Chris
tianity, in China, Egypt, India
and Japan, as at the Methodist
prayer meeting in your own home
town.
All this is story of the great
life work of Ira d. Sankey, the
sweetest singer the evangelistic
field has ever known, the world
,amed cO-worker with Rev.
Dwight l.. Moody.
AS Sankey poured out the en-
thusiasm of his faith in burst of
song, SO, too, he breathed the in
tensity of his belief in the lines
of every song he ever wrote, and
they were legion. And of them
all, perhaps Ninety and Nine"
shone brightest.
Sankey's devoutness came early
in life. 1t never waned. He was
born in Edinburg, Pa, in 1910, and
Joined the Methodist church at IS.
Then he became in turn choir lead
err, Sunday school superintendent
and Y. M. C. A. president.
He met Dwight l.. Moody, the
evangelist, at Y M. C. A. con-
vention in Indianapolis in 1870,
land the great preacher was
charmed with the persuasive
sweetness of his voice. Soon after
Sankey cast his fortunes with
Moody in evangelistic work.
And from that association came
perhaps the greatest evangelistio
accomplishment the world has ever
known.
Their first really great success
was in Great Britain, where they
went in 1873. For two and a hall
years they labored in this field
From city to city it was an un
broken demonstration of faith ac
ceptance such as England hat
never known. Thousands were con
verted at each revival.

they returned to the United States
to sweep the country with serie
of revivals that have never sine
been equaled in the intensity O
feeling or the numbers of converts

BY PETER POWERS

Shortly after Labor day a nation
al conference of trade union Of
ficials will be held in Chicago to
consider recent political develop
ments. 1t appears that there has
been considerable criticism aimed
att Pres. Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor because
of his Endorsement of the demo.
cratic platform, and Gompers is
seeking vindication. The attacks
upon the latter come not only from
republicans, populists, socialists
and followers of Hearst, but also
from some democrats, and they are
largely based upon constitutional
grounds, the laws of the federation
declaring explicitly that partisan
politics must be barred from that
body.
The action taken by organiza-
tons subordinate to the federation
indicate that opinion is greatly di
vided as to the wisdom of Com
I pers' course. Thus the Wisconsin
State Federation has condemned
the Gompers plan and the Colorado
State Federation Endorsed it. The
Kansas and New Jersey State Fed
erations stradaled the question
One of the glassblowers national
unions approved the plan, while the
printers and teamsters conventions
refused to commit their organiza
tons for or against. The city cen
trail bodies, local unions and the
labor press are also divided on the
question.
For the same reason that with
the big cotton crop there came a
reduction of IS per cent in the
wages of the textile workers OF
New England. and for the same
reason that the print paper trust
has been storing thousands of tons
of paper, raising prices to con-
sumers and cutting wages 10 per

cent, the bumper wheat crop is
now responsible for the proposed
advance in the price of -four and
threatened reduction of wages IN
the cereal mills of the Northwest.
The textile workers, the striking
papermakers, the cereal mill en-
ployes and others are complaining
that the law of supply and demand
has been stood on its head by the
combines-that when nature is
most bounteous and the supply OF
superintendent, wages are reduced
and the cost of living advanced
same as when there is famine.
This announced advance in the
price of -four for this winter is CIV
ing the iourneymen bakers some
concern, as they fear that they Will
also be called upon to contribute
toward the celebration of harvest
home by accepting reduction or
wages. Therefore, the bakers are
considering plans to be proposed
at their next convention to form an
alliance with the organized farm
ers on a cooperative basis for the
purpose of smashing the middle
men combines.
In Chicago there has been start
ed a movement that is already
meeting with favor in many sec
lions fthe country. 1t is proposed
to urge the federal government to
establish a national bureau OF the
unemployed to be connected with
the department of the interior. The
bureau is to have offices in all the
principal cities to secure statistics
of the unemployed, furnish labor to
employers, establish workshops,
farms and build highways and EN-
ploy labor direct, and to furnish
relief to those who are involuntari-
ly idle. The bureau is to be financed
by taxing swollen fortunes at the
