spoke in no uncertain sound on the
evils of the modern "round dance
where hugging is set to music and
lnflamed passions hold sway. The
round dance permits and displays a
liberty between the sexes that no
barbarous or heather people of earth
tolerate. 1t ministers to the lower
life and furnishes an ever increas-
ing army. who enter the fallen life,
and sell themselves at the altar of

Over 175 Converts.

There is no question but that the
meetings have been success in ev-
cry respect. / will venture that no
one at the outset expected as large
and as farreaching results as have
already been realized. The work has
been quiet, deep and thorough. Had
it been a campaign of emotionalism,
the fact that about 175 or more have
confessed Christ would have been
occasion for spreading the news in
every paper in this northeastern
part of Oregon. AS it is, the soul-sav-
ing work has gone on so quietly and
with so little of the spectacular that
people little realize what is being
accomplished.
1t has been my privilege to take a
more or less active part in several
evangelistic campaigns. In none have
[ seen a more sound or simple pre-
sentation of the Scriptures; in none,
a stronger and more manly appeal to
reason and good judgment; in none
4 more careful instruction of the con-
verts; in none more urgent insis-
tance upon obedience to the Word,
intensity of prayer and open confes-
sion. In consequence the conversions
have been bright and intelligent.
1t is hoped that every one will
avail themselves of the privilege OF
the meetings during the few remain
ing days they are to continue.

Athletic Women Of Other DAYS.

A searcher after curious facts has
learned that athletic women are by
no means modcrn product. as Is gen.
orally believed. They flourished In the
days Of sal volatile. hoops. patches and
snuff-in the days when George ii.
was king. Ladies' Of the court took
part In races arranged for them at the
regular meetings. so that there were
lady jockeys as well as gentlemen
jockeys. and once series of foot races
for ladies In Hyde park was organ
lied. The first one was run amid great
enthusiasm of the populace, and the
betting was high. Then stepped In
some cross grained old fellow. who
persuaded the government that such
races were unseemly, and they came
to a sudden end.
