Revival Meeting

This will he great community
meeting in which the purpose to
edify saints and convert sinners will
be pursued and emphasized. instead
of the building up of the membership
of any denomination
Sometimes we have meetings held
by pastors and evangeists for the
purpose of strengthening particular
denomination. While such meetings
are helpful, the fact that n number
of the congregation are only guests,
Imposes the guest relation, and there
fore limits TINT freedom and interest
int he meeting and relieves from that
sense Of responsibility that every
preacher and Christian worker ought
to assume.
sincerely hope that all will at
tend this meeting as joint propri etors
and not as guests. and that each one
of US should feel that il is OUR
meeting. The need for such meeting
is recognized and confessed by all.
The opportunity is here, and let us
make the most of it.
Miss Roth, the chorus leader, has
been here this week training n large
choir, composed of some of the best
singers from every church in town
Mrs. Yeuell arrived Wednesday. She
is organizing the women for work in
the meeting. DR.. Yeuell will reach
town on Saturday, and will begin the
meeting at IL O'Clock on Sunday

He has the reputation of being one of
the best evangelists in the country.

an invitation from me to you to at

am satisfied that with MIR. Will
son running for president on the plat
form which has been prepared there
will be comparatively few progressive
republicans who will not feel justi-
fled in supporting the democratic
ticket.
If 1 were to make an estimate |
would say that we ought to have not
less than two million majority of the
popular vote and enough of the elec-
toral vote to give US an overwhelming
majority in the electoral college.
1T is fortunate that Mr.. Wilson's
nomination was made without the
aid of Mr.. Murphy. 1t is no reflection
upon the many men in the New York
delegation to say this.
From every standpoint the outlook
is hopeful. The dawn is here and
progressive democracy will be the
peoples pillar of cloud by day.
Among those who came out in
statements tonight pledging support
to the democratic ticket were Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall !;
William Randolph Hearst, August
Belmont, Senator Stone, of Missouri,
who was one of the principal leaders
of the Clark campaign for the presi-
Dental nomination, and former SEN
ator Dubois, who was the active
manager of the Clark campaign.

Great are the GOOD Roads.

Supt. McNulty and his force are
changing the face of things along
about Concord and Grafton. The road
completed is just splendid. What has

The force is now working between
the Kelly place and the creek this
side of Rocky Dell, a very bad and
trying piece of road. The road all
along is being widened and graded
down and leveled up. "McNulty is a
road-builder from way back" is
what some of them say. "He can do
more work with the same force than
any man ever saw" is what some
one else says. The road is about fin
ished up to the Cox place at the foot
of the mountain, and a good deal of

EVIDENCE OF DECLINE
OF REBEL CAUSE
Nearly Entire Garrison at Juarez With
drawn-Others Said to Have Ac-
cepted Offer of Amnesty.

7 Juarez, Mexico, July l3.-The depar-
ture of all rebel troops except small
garrison of 200 men was regarded as
proof of the rebel intention not to at
tempt to fight at Juarez. The govern
ment forces, however, cannot repair the
Mexican Central railroad in less than
two months and no activity close to the
American border is looked for sooner.
With the exception of about 800 mon
scattered along the Mexican Central rail-
road, there are few troops in the path
of the federals. The bulk of the rebel
army is stretched southwest from here
along the Mexican Northwestern rail-
road, preparatory to invading the state
of Sonora.

terday that there was any disaffection
of consequence in his ranks. Gen. Da-
vid Della Fuente, who was reported to
have gone to San Antonio, Texas, to
resurrect the cause of Emilio Vasquez
Gomez, was declared by the rebel chief
to have gone to Baltimore, Nd, to have
his wounded arm treated.
Mexico City, July l3.An official
statement was made yesterday that 600
rebels in the north have availed them
selves of amnesty offered by General
Huerta. The amnesty will not be made
general throughout the country until
the national assembly which convenes
in September sees fit to extend it.
