Evangelist Chas. Croft of Window,
who recently held series of meet

vival has broken out in his home
town. Three of the prominent
churches united in holding a union
meeting which after period of prog
ress nothing visible had been accom-
ing this time and was not asked to as
sist in the meeting. One evening he
was however asked by one of the
ministers in charge to preach in his
place, which he did and at the close
of his sermon some fifteen souls came
to the altar. Another minister who
assisted in the meetings, who did like
the results of that service told his
members that they would keep the
meetings in their own hands and un-
der their own leading and the results
were continued as formerly and no re-
suits. The majority of the people fin.
ally demanded that the evangelist be
allowed to preach and at last the
meetings were turned over to his
leading. The results are, a large num-
Der of conversions. Some of the con
verts used to be the toughest char.
acters in town. The town and en-
tire community is greatly shaken by
the manifested saving power Of the
living God. The meetings have beer

Insults for Lord Miner.

Lord Miner is said to possess such
an even temper that it is almost i'm.
possible to ruffle it, and thereby hangs
q tale. Many years ago he worked
under Mr.. w. T. Stead on a London
newspaper, and one day young Miner
addressed a meeting in the East end
of London, when an insulting remark
made by one of the audience reused
him. Urged on by his natural indigna-
ton, he made an exceptionally bril-
liant speech. On hearing of the Incl.
dent later, Mr.. Stead remarked:
well, Miner, wish to goodness
knew how to insult you every day be-
fore you start work."

Why Building Stones Decay.

The causes of decay in building
stones are various and depend on the
physical structure of the stone, it's

exposed is rain or a moist atmosphere
