Hamilton, Jan. 16.-(Special.)-
whether the local sawmill of the Ana

operations in the spring or remains idle

of the lumber market during the next
few months" was the statement made
today to a Muscular reporter by John
r. Toole, president of the lumber in
~terests of the company. Mr.. Toole adj
mitted that there was a possibility that
the mill would max a start in the
spring, but the could not give any
definite assurance that it would re-
sumo operations. He declared that the
company did not know itself at this
time as to when the mill would start;
that its decision would be regulated by
the behavior of the lumber market.
IF the lumber market picks up enough
to warrant the opening up of the lum-
Der industry in Hamilton, we win start
the mill. Naturally, January is a quiet
month in our business. If the de-
mand for timbers and lumber takes a
brace we will need the Hamilton MILL

EVANGELIST MEETS
OBJECTIONS
REV. Mr.. SMITH DELIVERS A
STRONG SERMON ON "SPJR-
iTUAL BLINDNESS"

Hamilton, Jan. 16.-(special.)-A
mar who has been in regular attend
ance at the revival services being
conducted here, recently said: THAT
man Smith, the evangelist, certainly
covers every inch of ground in meet
ing the objections to the Christian
life" and one was reminded this even
ing Of the truth of the mans state
ment, when Mr.. Smith spoke upon
Spiritual Blindness" He drew his il
Illustrative lessons from the story of a
blind man, recorded in the ninth chap
ter of Johns gospel. Attention was
called to the fact that Christ found
this man blind from birth. THAT is
the spiritual condition of each of u.s."
declared the speaker. when Christ
first finds US we are spiritually blind.
We are blind to the beauties of Christ
n the Christian life; blind to the
fact that out of Christ we are lost.
You ask me why everyone does not
become a Christian. 1 can tell you
thai it is not that they know more
than others, or because this excuse or
that is reasonable, but because the God
of the world hath blinded their minds.
This is the reason that every new ism
mas it's followers by the thousands.
The enemy of souls blinds the spiritual
eyesight and says, That is truth Let
n undertake to follow Christ, and
all h powers of earth and hell are
brought to bear to hinder and to
HARM"
In dealing with the story referred to
Mr.. Smith called attention to many
kinds of spiritual blindness.
During the evening the audience
was treated to much very fine music.
MI. Gilmore sang a solo entitled, 1.-THE
Wayside Cross while the double
quartet joined in the chorus. The
music continues to improve at every
meeting, the work of the large chorus
being a revelation in congregational
singing. Interest in the meetings is
increasing, many attending nightly
from the surrounding ranches and viii
lagos.
Tomorrow at 4 D. M will occur one
OF the most unique services of the
whole campaign, when Mr.. Smith will
give an illustrated candle talk to the
students of the day schools. 1t will
be interesting to old and young, and
all are invited. Friday evening Mr..
Smiths subject will be, THE Coming
of Christ During the service he will
tell the story of Clarence b. Strouse, a
young, wealthy, society swell" who
became a Christian. Mr.. Smith says
It's as interesting as the story Of
win" Mcclure One OF the features
OF the meeting will be the singing of
a number of songs written by Mr..
strouse. h young people especially
will enjoy the service.
Three great union meetings are to
be held Sunday at the Lucas opera
