Pastor Of the First Christian Church, Seattle

THlRD-THE COMING awaken.

THE RELIGIOUS LIFE. The city

standards now. The future of our

moral Judgment, too. The places

Gypsy SMITH IS HERE AND

Of all classes OF people. His fear
less message. the peoples hunger
for IT. and the spirit Of the man
account for his truly wonderful In
fIuence.
I SOUGHT HIM at the Lincoln
the other day with some straight
from the shoulder questions. He
hit back with candid answers. He
talks pointedly and looks at one
unwayeringly.
THREE FACTS STAND out In
my memory OF that interyiew--the
attitude OF the Iaboring people TO
religious matters; the condition Of
the city governments. and the com.
ing great awakening.
FIRST - THE PROGRESS OF
labor in England is closely inter
woven with the religious life OF the
nation. The members Of the labor
party in parliament are largely lay
preachers. They learned their pow.

ture. II did not content him TO sit
quietly In the wickerwork and mud
hut or go fishing on the calm river
In his coracle. which was a boat
made OF twisted twigs and covered
with animal skins.
He liked to hunt the bear or
the wolf In thor dens In the dark
forests. SO on this day he pad
died In his coracle down the river
to the sea and over 10 a distant
island. Here he knew he should
find adventure.
Soon he found bear tracks In the
soft mud about tiny fresh water
lake whore the animal had come
to drink. He waited. Tho bear
soon appeared for drink. and when
II left he followed to it's den. But
In the dark forest he saw girl
approaching carrying wee bear
