The Methodist Revival.

The revival now in progress at
the imprOvised tabernacle by
Rev. A. p. Lowery while Metho-
dist in name and conception has
gotten to be in fact a free for all.
Pastors and members of all the
strictly orthodox churches in
town are active in the work of
the meeting and, per Sc, an unu-
sual harvest is expected.
Shaking the sinner over the
birthstone fumes of hell is a
strong point with Mr.. Lowery.
Dante in his Inferno" can hard
ly surpass Mr.. Lowery in this
particular and he never, for long
at time, lets his congregation
get away from the fearsOme
sight, "the tortures of the damn
ed"
The News regards Mr.. Lowery
as an honest, Christian gentle
man, absolutely fearless in the
presentation of what he cOnSci
entiously believes to be his full
duty as man of Cod And
as such The News has the high
est respect for him, but it does
think, and in all kindness, that
he might put more of the won
derful love of the Master TOWARD
His creature-man-in his ser
mons and less of the walls OF
wrath. The fear of punishment
alone makes a mighty poor Chris
tian.
Wednesday evening Bro. Haw
kins reported, as result of the
meeting, seventy five conversions
and reclamations. Of these thir
ty-seven expressed themselves
as willing to join church organi
cations, as follows: Seven to the
Baptists, six to the Presbyteri
ans and twenty four to the Meth
odists.
The meeting will continue ovel
Sunday.

The most gigantic as we'll as one
of the most daring aerial ventures
on record was the one which ended
in disaster and serious injury to IS
persons at Berkeley, Cal, recently,
when the dirigible balloon, con-
structed by c. A. Morrell, of San
Francisco, exploded In midair dur
ing it's initial test, and, before the
Mortified gaze Of thousands of spec.
tators, plunged with its crew of Is
men to the ground.
The Morrell airship was the
largest ever constructed. 1t was
$50 feet long, and contained 100000
cubic feet of gas. The big ship
was to have been propelled by Ave
40horsepower engines, suspended
from the gas bag.
Morrell himself made the ascent
and was cheered repeatedly by the
big crow.i that had gathered to see

MEET
TO PLAN WAR

MILWAUKEE,, May 30.--Every
phase of the saloon and drink prob
lem will be discussed during the
convention of the United States
Brewers association, to be held
here June 8 to 10, including the So
cial, legislative, economic and ad-
ministrative standpoints. The pro-
hibition wave, which is sweeping
over the country, will be consider
ed in it's every aspect, and the
brewers will probably outline some
plan of fighting it.
The members OF the allied trades,
which deal with the brewers, either
as dealers or manufacturers, will
also have meeting here to plan
for the support of the campaign Of
the brewers. The men whose in
are in these allied trades
will take an active part in the war
on the prohibitionists.
