BIG CROWDS ATTEND
 THICKER REVIVAL
Big Crowds Are Appreciating Ser mons at South Highlands Pres
 byterian Church

pr. Thacher preached again yesterday at the South Highlands Presbyterian church to two large audiences. The irl- terest in these meetings is steadily in- creasing. The large chorus choir under the efficient leadership of Professor Fish CT adds much to the pleasure and wor- ship. The old familiar gospel songs ring out with new and deeper meaning; the simple story of the Christ sings its way ia.o the hearts of the people through these songs, many of which were learned in childhood. A small junior choir of boys on the front seat supplements the big chorus The sweet young voices touch all hearts.
 pr Thacher IS a man of eloquence with a wide reputation as a pulpit orator His sermons are shert. never over 30 minutes, and holds the attention from start to finish. His manner of addressing an aud fence and presenting old truths is both soul stirring and heart searching. His methods are simple. entirely devoid of any embarrassing or sensational features.
 After the service last evening, pr. Plunket, the much beloved pastor of the church, expressed his gratification at the interest and attendance of his loyal peo- pie, yet he urged them to more conse- crated effort during these days of special privilege, when the Saviour is passing by" The meeting. he says, is in no way intended just for the members of the South Highlands Presbyterian church, but for everybody in the community of what ever name or denomination. All will re- ceive most hearty welcome.
 The morning service begins promptly at 1. and lasts not longer than 45 minutes. The evening service begins promptly at 7:a5. The subject for tonight's sermon will be. The Supreme Tragedy of the TnentieIh Cenf1lrv,,

Rural credits received considerable

Rural credits received considerable
attention and discussion at the COVER
nor's conference in Richmond, Va,
last week, when a resolution was
adopted which has for its object the |
abolishment of the farm mortgage |
system and the esta atlisbment OF new
system of state banks governed by
uniform law. These banks under tie
resolution, would be financed by pri-
vate capital and would operate under
legislation sufficiently elastic to en-
able them to issue bonds for short or |
long terms upon American farms 10 |
lieu of mortgages. The bonds In turn.
in the opinion of the governors, would
to listed under state supervision on
the stock exchange of the world. The
resolution under which it 10 hoped to
bring this about approves plan of
financing rural credits. yet to be de
tailed but similar TO those abroad.
II provides for the appointment of a
committee of Eve governors TO draft
such plan and a bill legalizing it,
This till must be submitted to the
governor of each state of the union
and upon approval of two thirds shall
be sent to the legislatures Of the va.
rious states for enactment. And here
is where the farmer will ba beard in
the matter. II 10 question whether
he prefers having his farm bonded
and the bonds bodied about ty an un-
known buyer as speoulating medium
on the stock exchange rather than to
raise money by mortgaging to some
money lender of his acquaintance at a
lawful rate Of interest. It appears to
us that rural credits are amply able
to care for themselves without calling
on the stock exchange for any assis-
tance. The American farm is about
the only thing that has kept clear of
the stock gamblers clutches and
the proposition TO let bim have a
whaok at them, though emanating
from an august couolave of governors,
will undoubtedly find scant support.
