ayers Of both companies with the may
or Of Muscatine with view to the
perfecting of arrangements for the
consolidation Of the two exchanges in
that city. 1t appears that there are
clauses in the telephone franchises Of
Muscatine that require the consent OF
the city council before a merger can
be effected legally. After negotiations
have been perfected there, doubtless
consolidation proceedings will be start
ed in the other towns where Missis-
sippi company exchanges are in opera
ton. While the superintendent Of the
Bell company denies that 1t has an
option on the property, ne admits that
he expects that some definite arrange
ment will be made by Thursday Of
this week whereby he can present a
proposition to the Muscatine city coun
Gil, to be acted upon by that body.
Keokuk will very probably ere long
witness a consolidation Of her tele-
phone exchanges. A merger would be
advantageous if it does not ultimately
result in an increase Of telephone

Six Weeks Of Meetings Plan With
Several Fsatures-lnvitatien to Be
Issued But Personal Work Will Sc
Done in Homes Of Prospective Con-
yerts.

Mason City, Jan. 3.-Dr. L. c. Clarke
Of the Methodist church last evening
inaugurated a new plan for a revival
meeting, and it will be watched with
much interest While DR.. Clark had
no criticisms to make of evang elists
them and that their work is and has
been power for good. he thinks the
church-the Methodist chucch-has too
often in recent years hired evange.ists.
paid them money and then conatorreu
ilself that its responsibility was ended
ana The poor evans e.!stS mad to use ait
sorts of sensational and. metimes
drastic measures to wake the people
up.
DR.. Clark purposes to hold just
six weeks OF revival meetings. He
Will do the preaching and expects
the church to do the work. The
meetings Will be purely voluntary.
No one Will be singled out 10 pray OF
testify or sing but every one will
be invited to the meetings, legIti-
mate advertising in the way of card
invitations. etc, Will be used. and
there will be no public separation of
the sheep and the goats.
No Public Urging.
TIL meetings will be he'd in the
chapel room which will seat 500 or
more people. After the meeting
there vii! be an after servica some
times for definite conference with
chorus or church board or with
those who OF their own volition wish
to change their method of life and
ally themselves to the army OF
Christ in accepting the Nazarene as
their personal savior. In these
meetings no one Will be singled out
ard labored with, and he made
personal request that the church WORK
ers should have their heart to heart
talk with those in whom they were in
terested at their homes. AID that the
meetings should lie free from any re-
straint SO that people can come ana
go and understand that rell-lon Is
something TO be acquired ny personal
seeking and not something that Is
sought to be forced on any one. Inc
after meetings will take some times the
form of social gatherings, with religion
and salvation the topics of course, put
as naturally and informally as tho at
ones own home or at club meeting.
Thinks Conversions vii! Stick.
DR.. Clark believes that people who
came to the church in this way will
be in the church when he has gone.
and he has had more success in this
kind of a revival than any other, al
tho he does not criticse or ques-
ton others who use some other
method.
The meetings will he watched with
interest from GOOD many view points
but from the expressions of approval
from DR.. Clark's congregation yester-
day it is evident his church agrees
with him and expecfs to have the best
six weeks Of their lives spiritually. At
