Evangelist Billy" Sunday ended his six weeks revival in Wichita this week on the closing day free will offering" was collected. amount ing to sl0.l40. He made 5245 con vcrts. Just before leaving Wichita Mir. Sunday gave the Reason this list of Twenty Things to Remember:
 l. No mans character is any bet ter than his word
 .. The man who starts out looking for trouble will not take a long jour- rcy.
 g. You cannot tell the size of a mans character by the size of his tnmstone.
 {. You cannot tell by hearing a man yell amen just what he will do in horse trade
 ;. Everything that has set this world going Godward had its begin ming in oraver
 6. No man ever moved this world an inch who didn't believe in some thing
 :. If you live to help others-oth- CTS will live to help you
 s. The sun puts on mourning when a man and his wife quarrel
 Q Whenever you feel weak think how strong Christ is.
 10 What God commands you to do he stands pledged to help you do it.
 II. There isn't any place in Gods service for a coward.
 l2 Every life is a voice. speaking ether for Christ or against him.
 l3 Size is not the only thing that reaches home base
 II. When a man treats his mule better than he does his wife the devil likes to hear him talk in church
 r. The surest way to make .: boy worse is to tell him every day how lad he is
 1G. A blow aimed at the devil sometimes hits deacon square in the eve
 r. The slums is not the only place where the devil gets in his work
 IS. If you hit the booze you can't hit the ball
 lS. Don't knock the fellow who is climbing the ladder ahead of you.
 20. Some day you will ride in the hearse at the head of the process sion.

ARE WE AS MEAN
 AS REPRESENTED?

California is insurgent-oh. so in- surgent, It has an insurgent gov ernor. who fairly oozes insurgency by day and dreams insurgency at night. It has an insurgent or two in the lower house of congress. It has an insurgent senator. who spouts insurgency by the hOgshead It has an insurgent. or near-insurgent leg islature. and it has a population that swallows whole any insurgent bait it's self-appointed band of popularity seeking apostles offer them.
 When President Taft visited Cali fornia last October to break ground for the great Panama Pacific 1915 exposition. Gov. Johnson cOndescend- cd to meet him at the state line; hut he declined to take part as guest or host in a great banquet at San Fran cisco in the presidents honor. The entire demeanor of California's in- surgent governor during the presi- dents stay was of forced courtesy and sneering and jaunty hospitality. The president was made to feel that California would have been glad If he had remained away. California was SO busy with it's preparations for the Panama Pacific exposition and
 in it's wild and ostcntatious rejoicing over the designation of san Fran cisco as the seat of the official ccle- bration that it was obviously an noyed by the interruption of q presi- dential visit.
 The latest news from the Cali fornia insurgentvile is that under the recently framed presidential pri- mary law California is going to send solid Taft delegation to the Chicago convention. No doubt. no doubt The Great California Noise must make itself heard somehow.
 Yet President Taft was the main influence in winning the battle be- tween San Francisco and New or leans for san Francisco. President Taft will be the most potent factor in future legislation for the 1915 eX- position President Taft will he the voice through which foreign nations | will be called upon to participate. | President Tafts active and contin-
