ing companions, they preached
with power-they turned many
to righteousness. We do not crit.
icise modern methods but simply
call attention to the difference.
1t certainly is a very great as
sistance to the preacher and ev-
angelist to have a singer by his
side. However, when the sing
er does it all, it becomes a sort
of entertainment, which is not
conducive to deep spiritual ex-
perience. People are absorbed
in the singing and forget their
own need of a change of heart.
Mr.. Pugh, we are glad to say,
does not do all the singing, but
gets the congregation to sing al
so.
The Sunday afternoon meeting
for men only was largely attend
ed, the audience room of the

vices, whiskey drinking and card
playing. The two vices he char
acterlZed IN severe terms.
When he denounced card play
ing we had a wish that half the
audience room had been filled
with the women card players.
However, the men are likely to
tell their wives what the preach
er said. 1t was certainly plain |
preaching, and let US hope refor-
nation will follow.

The Revival Meetings at
Greenville.
BY LEO,
BY LEO.


Tuesday evening, March %, il
the Presbyterian church. Th'
singing is under the direction o1
Mr.. Owen Pugh and the preach
ing is done by the evangelist, DR.,
Toy. The meetings began aus
piciousIy, if we may judge by
the number in attendance and
the attention paid to singer and
preacher.
The meetings have kept grow
ing in number and interest every
day. Two meetings are held
daily, one at 3 pm. and one at
7:3O pm. the evening meetings
drawing in large crowd filling
the large church to overfiowing.
The meetings are held in the
Presbyterian church because 1t
holds a larger number of people
than any other in town, and be-
cause of it's central position; but
they are union meetings, that is,
about six churches of our city
unite in the services every day,
What results? 1t is too soon
to judge as yet. The meetings,
at this writing, have been held
only for few days. A farmer
does not reap his wheat field the
next day after sowing. He must
wait awhile. The evangelist has
to wait, too. A very encourag-
ing feature is the large gather
ing of people every evening. Ev-
identity they are interested. 1t
is sometimes a hard matter to Sc
cure the attendance of people
but no difficulty of that sort has
been experienced in these meet
ings. There has been a large
audience every night, and of
course the evangelists feel en-
couraged.
A pleasing feature of the meet
ings is the singing under the
leadership of Mr.. Pugh. He is a
fine singef: himself, and seems to
know how to make other people
sing. He sings one or two solos
at every meeting, which impress
ses people very much, but his
best partsiis making the congre-
cation sing. There lis no sing
ing equal in power to congrega-
tional singing. But somehow
that has; been waning for years.
A few people, often four, in the
organ loft usually do all the sing
ing, and thecongregation listens.
If Mr.. Pugh can induce the wor-
shippers to do their own singing
he will render the church great
service.
There is no harm in an organ
or choir to lead the singing, the
harm comes in when a few peo-
pie in the organ loft do it all.
If we compare the revival meet
ings of the present day with those
recorded in history, we find the
difference very largely in the
song service. In modern days
every revivalist takes his singer
with him, but in the olden times
the evangelist either did without
singing or depended on the local
talent. When Peter preached
his great sermon on Pentecost,
there was no singing, Conver-
c;ors wore MANY

BIG PULP AND PAPER
MILLS FOR SPOKANE

Spokane, Wash.-SiX hundred skill
ed workmen and laborers will be en-
ployed in the Inland Empire pulp
and paper mills near Spokane, upon
which, according to w. A. Brazeau,
formerly of Appleton, Wis, secretary
and treasurer of the company. work
will begin in a short time.
The official announcement was
made by Mr.. Brazeau today, follow
ing the adoption of a resolution by
the city council of Spokane to the
effect that the municipality would
never take action toward raising the
dam at it's upriver pumping plant.
The plant will be a model of its
kind" Mr.. Brazeau said, land it will
embody all the latest approved fea-
lures for making paper. Six car
loads of machinery already is in Spo-
kane and more has been ordered.
Every share of stock in the company
has been subscribed and we have in
terested with us many of the promi-
nent business men of this city. The
plant and equipment will cost close
t. $1,000, 900 and will operate the year
around.
I'VE have arranged for raw ma
terials from the nearby forests and
we expect also to use wood form Ida
no, Montana and oregon. Our re-
ports show there is sufficient ma
terial to run our plant and several
others of smaller capacity for many
years. We will manufacture print
and other papers and the Northwest
will be our field"
The adoption of the resolution by
the city council followed a thorough
| investigation of the available sites in
the event the city decided to enlarge
its pumping facilities. Sites on Priest
and Pend Oreille rivers have been
measured, the finding being there is
| sufficient water power available to
supply electricity at lower rate than
| the present schedule.
