A Jewish Defence of REVEALS.

SO much has been said by psychology
lists and theologians in dispara cement
Of that form Of conversion induced by
revival meetings that many even in the
most evangelical branches of the chris
tan ministry have inclined to doubt Its
efficacy. 1t is therefore with special
interest that we encounter in a Jewish
paper an earnest defense of revivals
and conversions. as the revival method
and spirit have been supposed by many
TO be peculiarly remote from the genius
of Judaism. This contribution to the
controversy is from the pen of Dr. H.
g. Enelow. and appears in his weekly
journal. The Temple. To quote in part
"Revivals and conversions are part
not only of the christian religion, but
of every other true religious Or spirit
ual system. Indeed. the historical stu
dent will have no trouble in. tracing the
christian custom and teaching back to
Jewish origin. Nor is this phase of the
religious life anything to be ashamed
of. or superfiuous. Or out Of harmony
with modern insight or idealisrn The
true psychologist will admit its high
value. Briefly speaking, a revival is an
effort stir up the dormant religious
forces of the people A conversion is
an awakening OF the soul of the indi-
vidual, the sudden Pickering up of the
divine light within il, in its sudden re-
Spouse to the call Of God.
Revival meetings may be bad or
good. Conversions may be bad or good
They are bad When they represent a
| mere momentary excitation of the reli-
gious emotions, without the purpose
and the endeaTor 10 lead to a perma-

Of better mode Of life inspired by the
heightened feelings Of some propitious
moment. Such conversions may be oc-
casioned not only b. regular revival
meetings; they may occur in the most
diverse places; they may be engendered
! by all manner of Incidents. A book. a
conversation, sermon, an illness, a

ence That stirs up the depths Of the
soul-nay be the cause Of such a con-
version, which means the sudden real

EXPOSURE HELPS BUSINESS.


The beneficial effects of exposure
som etirnes unjustly termed muclz-rak-
ing. have come prominently into vim
dication in the life insurance business,
Notwithstanding outrageous abuses and
even rascality in life insurance exposed
a few years ago. 1t is reported by lif :
insurance agents thruout the country
that their bushes today comes easier
and more probably to the agents, ny
reason of the exposure than ever would
have been otherwise. Those who have
feared that life Insurance soliciting hal
been killed as calling because of
public distrust. will have 10 revise their
fears of the exposure business.
Mr., Collins. writing in the recent
number of the Saturday Evening Post
says The life insurance salesman
makes as good an income today as
ever, and has just as fair future.
Old companies are recovering from the
backset, following investigation ana
are gaining healthy business as nsw
companies are opening up. The buyer
o. insurance seldom thinks of asking
for rebates and 50 the seller gets what
he earns. The public understands in
surance as never before. and is buying
more freely and intelligently. and I'M
derstands also that the seller perform
real service, and is entitled TO his com
mission. Companies are earning more
money on inyes tments and paying bet
ter, and the new laws are being wisely
adjusted wherever there is a real
pinch. About the only man who has an
acute problem to work out, is the gen.
eral agent"
So it is that business as sensitive
To public opinion and as dependent uD-
on public confidence as the life insur-
ance business. not only is not injured
or destroyed by the widest exposure OF
its wrongs and dishonesty but that
the business in general has been aided
and assisted by reason of the house
cleaning. 1t is observed by this IA
gniliar writer that people now UNDER
stand life insurance as they never did
before, and as they never would have
understood il had they not read in The
public press for weeks and for months
of the exposure Of -otteness in some of
the New York companies. He finds that
when life insurance agents approach a
prospective customer, they now receive
courteous and business-like attention:
that life insurance is easier to sell. and
that commissions are actually more
profitable than they were before. He
observes that the life insurance agent.
himself, has made q profitable discov-
cry by reason Of the exposure ana has
been able to force more equitable 81

Looker-On In Iona

Grinnell, Sept. 1s.-Al,hoo the cor
respondents Of the daily papers and the
local press here have written I'D. full
accounts Of the public improvements
going on in Grinnell, still grouped to-
gether these facts and figures make a
showing worth reprinting and worth
sending out as showing what one Iowa
town of $500 inhabitants is doing in
TINS wild and woody west" In round
numbers Grinnell has now under con-
tract and making toward completion
hfty-six blocks or about six miles of
street paving. It's called the bitulithic
paving. consisting of five inches Of
concrete, and one and three-fourths
inches Of top finishing. Powdered stone
is sprinkled on the top surface. The
price is s213 per square yard. The con-
tract amounts to $4,000 said to be thu
largest contract ever made by any Iowa
city one time. The streets to the
passenger and freight depots, all
around the business blocks, and around
the city park are included in this con-
tract One business man will have a hill
for paving amounting to nearly $4,000,
around his place Of business and res
idence. Somebody said well he has
seven years to pay for it, and another
man remarked yes, and he'll draw his
check for the whole job as soon as fin.
ished.'
But that isn't all. The new gas COM
pany will put in eleven miles of pipes
before the paving is commenced. The
| telephone company also puts its wires
under this new paving. And also the
soft water company is laying its pipes
under this new paving. This soft wa
ter business is much appreciated by all
using steam boilers and the writer 4.
told is furnished trife cheaper than
city water. Besides all this the city is
replacing all of the small water pipes
in the paving district with four-inch
cast iron pipes. Each property holder
is required to take up all lot an
proach pipes made of iron. and put in
lead pipe. All this Is being done be-
cause no digging of these paved streets
is to be allowed for seven years. per-
haps five years is the time. The city
is finishing the fourth artesian well
