EVANGELIST MATHIS
Delivers a Message of I'm
vanished Truth at the
Methodist Church Last
Night

The revival meetings at the
Methodist church yesterday
were attended with goodly
congregation and great interest.
The Presbyterian church is CO.
operating with the Methodist
in the revival meetings and
were out in full force last night.
It is expected that the other
churches will accept the invita-
tion to enter into the battle
also, for the moral and relig-
ious betterment of the city.
There ought to be a thousand
conversions to Jesus Christ.
Miss Winery captured the
people with her ability and
earnestness with which she d.
reefs the large chorus and Mr..
| Haven proves himself to be a
young man of rare ability at
the piano. The spiritual inter-
est manifest was deeply inn
pressive. Mr.. Mathis subject
was weighed in the Balances
and Found Wanting" he TAX
ing the Ten Commandments az
the basis for his discourse and
held the audience spellbound
for more than an hour and they
were ready for him to continue.
Not a sin was left untouched.
He cried aloud and spared not
and many were made to feel
that their lives were not what
they should be. The libertine,
the licentious and they WHO are
living in adultry were given
their portion without gloves
and with vividity and pathos.
He presented Christ who with
broken ard bleeding heart
longs to heal men and women
of this awful malady of sin.
Mr.. Mathis says he is not
here in special interest of any
one church but to help all, that
it is his business to get souls
saved and build up the king
dom Of Jesus Christ and the
churches will come along all
right if they do the will of God.
This is an opportunity for the
churches all to get busy and be-
come a power in the city for
the spiritual uplift and saliva
ton of souls. 1t is an oppor-
tunity for the business men of
the city to line up for a better
and cleaner city.

We are in receipt of a com
munication signed by the Sec
retaries of the Street Railways
Employees Union and two Elec-
trical Workers Unioas asking
us to do all in our power TO in
fluence public opinion so that
the bill creating a public Utili-
ties Com mission. known as Sen
ate File N BOG, will not pass.
Part of their communication is
as follows:
owe feel that we can deal
with these companies to better
advantage to Organic I'd Lator
and to the voters of Iowa, if
these companies are compelled
to seek their franchises and ex-
tensions Of Franchise from the
popular vote of the people, in
the individual cities and towns,
than if these companies are
paced under the control of the
Public Utilities Commission
which will grant upon them an
eternal Flar chise."
In some respects the appoint
ment of a Public Utilities Com
mission ought to be a good
thing so that they could be reg
ulated in the same manner as
the railroads are regulated but
if this commisson were empow-
cred to grant a perpetual fran
chise, it woull do more harm
than good.
