Evangelistic Work.

The Rev. Mr.. McDufie. who is
conducting evange1istic work al
Bethel Church, is wonderfully sue
ceedlng and has, thus far, brought
many souls to Christ. The services
go on every night, and there is al
ways a well-flled house. Every
evening he gets his followers to-
gether and marches to the places
where the people are, whom he
wishes to convert. Having gotten
thus far, he expounds enough
gospel to them to get them in line
and then marches to the next stop
Ip1ng place. When he has repeated
this a few times and has gotten a
goodly number of back-sliders in
line, he then makes his way back
TO Bethel, where he puts on the
finishing touches.
The Seventh Day Adventists are
also carrying on revival services
They have a big tent on Pennsyl-
Vanla avenue, near Pitcher street
and with good number of speak
ers and an attractive program, they
have the tent filled every night. The
object of the tent service IS to ac-
quaint people with the peculiar doc
trlnes Of the Seventh Day Advent
lists.

An honest man is the excep-
ton rather than the rule, but it
is no longer necessary to search
with a lantern IN broad open
daylight. Mr.. J. w. Laney is
one. A few wears ago he swap
ped wagons with Mr.. ]. R. Cato.
agreeing to pay him twenty
seven dollars and fifty cents
difference, though Mr.. Cato said
he thought thirty would be
about right. Mr.. Laney used
the wagon a day or two and
when he went to settle he said,
"You were right, thirty is about
the difference" And he paid
thirty. Now, trot out another
man rs honest as that.

So much has been SAID and
written about the resignation of
Mr.. Bryan and there are so few
who try to defend his action that
we are reluctant in saying what
we feel. The war-mad kaiser
OF Germany views his resig-
nation as an evidence that Mr..
'a'e-S.lua.hsss-ss
people and that public sentiment
in the United States is at least
divided as to the best methods of
adjusting the differences between
the two governments. Germany
does not think the president is in
earnest when he demands the
rights of Americans. AS we see
ii, Mr.. Bryan has done more bv
resigning at such a time to bring
about trouble than any other
one man. The German reply to
the American note of protest
shows clearly that Germany
does not take the president
seriously. The resignation of
the presidents secretary of state
at the critical moment had much
to do with it.

taken up.
Administration forces began work
on a compromise bill TO be passed
through the house. Leaders on that
side OF the capitol. however. were far
from confident that the proposed com.
promise would unite the divided sen.
ate democrats or win support from re.
publicans. They declared the admin.
istrauon did not concede enough In
the proposed compromise 10 secure It's
passage.
The, cIoture rule presented In the
senate met the same republican fiji.
buster that had blocked the shipping
bill.
The administration compromise
measure, as II was being framed would
organize u shipping board with an ap.
preparation OF s40.000.0 900 TO engage In
shipping for period ending two years
after the termination OF the war. Then
the ships would be turned over TO the
secretary OF the navy, TO be leased or
operated In the merchant service In
his discretion. This plan TO place the

upon by the administration. II is also
