show" and carried it through to sue
cess, have brought together all of
the products Of st Louis in display
of civic spirit seldom equalled in the
United States. A jury on styles and
a jury on exhibits selected the feat

fashions which are supplanting the
Paris fashions, attracted the femi-
nine portion of the visiting groups.

st Louis Maternity Hospital origina-
ted the plan, and the merchants of
the city have co-operated with them.

PLEASED WITH BILLY SUNDAY
Well Known South Carolina Minister
haars Great Evangelist.

DR.. T. w. Sloan, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church Of Greenville, for
a number Of years pastor Of the A. K.
P. church at Troy, has returned from
Philadelphia, where he went especially
to hear Billy Sunday. His impressions
Of the revivalist will be found very
interesting in the following story from
the Greenville News:
Il went to Philadelphia last Monday
to hear Billy Sunday preach and I was
disappointed, but l was a%greeably dis
appointed" declared the Rev. DR.. I.
w. Sloan in an address at the First
Presbyterian church last night. Con
trary to my expectation, 1 found him
deeply reverent, without the sensa-
tionalism which he has been repre-
scented as using. In a simple, direct
way, bare Of the devices Of the loud
shouting revival, he preached the old,
old story, the plain and powerful mes
sage Of salvation according to the
gospel. / had no idea that he was a
scholarly man.
Billy Sunday uses some language
that I do not believe st. Paul or Christ
would have employed, but where is a
man altogether without fault? He a
no patience with the isms which have
grown up in the north. He regards
Christian Science as In bold conflict
with the gospel and he Is hostile to
the doctrines of Universalism and
Unitarianism. He believes that Jesus
was the Son Of God. He believes that
the hope Of the world lies in Christi
anity. He does not smooth his langu-
age-his tongue Is alre with truth
and when he refers to the devil ne
says the devil" and not the spirit Of
evil and when he means hell he says
hell and not "hades." His soul Is
burning with the desire to save his
fellowmen."
All Philadelphia Is aroused over
Sundays preaching, DR.. Sloan observ-
ed, saying that when he arrived in the
city Of Brotherly Love everybody was
talking religion and he heard that it
was the main topic Of conversation
even in the saloons, almost n hun
dred Of which are for sale as a result
Of Sundays philippics. In eleven
weeks the ex-baseball player evange-
list has preached to 2,000,0 900 people.
Forty thousand converts in Philadel-
phia have been made through the direct
appeals of Sunday himself and as a
result Of the labors Of the churches in
conjunction with him, 10000 converts
in that city have confessed their faith.
One church has already received an
accession of. 1000 members and a single
Bible class has been increased from
so to 4s2.
Sunday has spoken to a larger
multitude Of people than any other
man since Jesus Christ" declared Dr..
Sloan, and he has effected more con-
versions in a shorter time than any
other man since Christ. He is an hon.
ored agent Of God, an instrument
through which God is saving souls in
wonderful number. His revival is no
furry Of excitement, but a deep and
enduring work"

At Cross Purposes-A well dressed
portly man stood for several moments
watching a brawny porter, who was
laboriously Juggling at a large, heavy
box which seemed almost as wide as
the doorway through which he was
trying to move it. Presently the kind
~ disposed onlooker approached the
perspiring porter and said. with a pa
tronizing air:
Like to have a lift?"
Bet your life" the other replied
and for the next two minutes the two
men on opposite sides Of the box lift
ed, pulled and wheezed, but it did not
move an inch. Finally the well-dressed
one Strengthened up and said between
his puffs:
Il don't believe we can get it in
there
Get II in?" shouted the other.

boys.

me what we must do in order to get

Yes, sir" IA the prompt response
Of William, I'VE must die"
That is very true" said the doctor
e~ncouragingly, but can't you tell me
what we must do before we die?'
