Harold c.. Mccall, timber buyer
for the Canadian government, has
completed the loading and shipment
of 10 carloads of huge white pine tim
Der at the Harrison, Idaho, loading
works for the use of the allies in
Europe. The timbers, 80 to 40 feet
long and from "a to 40 inches through
are squared from trees in Idaho's
great white pine belt. Beyond the
fact that the timbers are for exporta-
ton to the British government, no
information is available. Seven of
the 10 carloads were billed to Balti-
more and three to Quebec. An idea of
the great cost of this choice Idaho
timber at its journeys end may be
gained from the fact that the freight
from Harrison to where it begins its
sea voyage amounted to $414 per car
and that white pine logs in ordinary
lengths and of small size sell for $14
to SIC per thousand feet, board mea-
sure. The price per thousand in
creases as the length of the timber
increases, and the price per thousand
feet of such timbers is around $50.

j. j. Pastoriza, tax and land COM
missioner of Houston, Tex, in an adj
dress recently, explained how Hous-
ton became the money center of Texas
and increased its population $4,000 in
two years under the Houston plan of
taxation. "The Houston plan," he
said, "caused a 7 million increase in
bank deposits and 2 million dollar
increase in building activity by taxing
land at its full value and exempting
personal property from taxation. This
was done in open violation of Inc
Texas constitution, and with the con-
sent of 80 per cent of the citizens of
Houston. The only opposers of the
plan were real estate spectators
and the special interests. When the
Houston plan was adopted in 1912,
and industrial conditions
were poorer than in almost any other
city of its size in the state. Cash, |
notes, mortgages, household furniture
and credits of merchants were ex-
ampted from taxation. Bank deposits
increased. Every unem- |
Dloyed man III the city was put to
work and the population was increas-
I'd $4,000 in two years. Rents de-
Houston was definitely plac-
I'd on the map as the money center of
Texas. Commercial and industrial ac-
ivities were revived and Houston be-
anne not only the money center, but
!lso one of the best business cities
n Texas"

Tho attendance at tie meeting
last night was the largest since the
revival services started. Even then
many persons were turped away on
account of not being able to get
seats. At the conclusion Of one OF
the evangelists most powerful pleas
and earnest invitations about twenty
five young people went forward TO
reconsecrate tneir lives 70 Christ or
make confession. The meeting was
decidedly the best that has been held
yet. following a great service al II
o'clock and another at o'clock.
The evangelist read as a scripture
lesson last night the sixth chapter Of
Revelations. The text used By Evan
gelist Haudeschleld was Amos 4.12,
Prepare to Meet Thy God
IF you will turn and read the
preceding verses in this chapter" he
said, "you will find that God has
done all that a just God can do to
call men and women to repentance.
II seems that after God had exhaust
ed all the resources of heaven &c get
men to think on these things they
persisted in their refusal at accepting
Christ, and then he turns 10 the
words OF this text and commands
them 10 prepare to meet God. This
text should arouse every person
here tonight
He declared that the judgment day
is coming and that it Is rushing
down onto the world as fast as tlne
can whirI ii on and It is nearer TO
many than they dare to let them
selves think.
He told how once the people of a
small town in the state of Washing

was coming down the valley and how
they closed up their homes and
places or business 10 hurry away TO

compared to the great onrushing
wrath OF God that is sweeping down
t. destroy sin in the earth"
He said some people might ask the
question. "how can ! prepare to meet
God?" He said If he could get peo-
! pie to realize that they we're face to
face with the last call there would
be a mighty turning TO God.
Answering the question How can
prepare TO meet God?" he said IT
was by having an honest desire 10
know the truth about Gods state
ment about your soul aud willingness
to do do what He commands. lie said
a real man was person who has an
ambition 10 do what is right regard
less OF what the world says or thinks.
He declared that what Cad wants Is

going up and down the land he
finds people who don't think this is
necessary. 1T doesn't make any
difference. he said. what you or
/ think about Il. but it makes all the
difference in the world what God
says about il"
He declared that a man ought 70
have the courage 10 step out and
openly confess Christ "There'il be
no towards in heaven" he said
"and the man who Is ashamed &c
confess Christ here. He wiil be
ashamed to confess you before the
Father and holy angels"
He declared that man is not :

tains of Kentucky with a large
amount of money in their posses
sion. The companion of the banker
was an infidel and naturally sus-
picious of everyone. Ii was decided
among them that they take turns
at watching the mountaineer at
whose home they stopped for the
night and the banker was to sleep
first. Before the banker entered
Sunderland he heard the infidel
kicking off his boots and making
ready to 90 to bed. He asked him
what the matter was and the infidel
said there was no use watching be-
cause he had seen the mountaineer
take his Bible from the mantle,
read chapter and then in humble
supplication ask the Lord in prayer
to bless his household and the stran-
gers who were being entertained.
He declared that. infidels deep down
in their hearts had a respect for
christian religion.
He declared that it was a solemn
thing to fall into the hands of liy-
ing God, yet it was inevitable be-
cause all men would be judged He
said he did not know when that
day would come, but one thing he
was convinced of and that was that
it was coming. He asked the ques-
ton "If the judgment day should
come tomorrow, how about your
life?" contrasting the life of Robert
G. Ingersoll with that of d. l.. Moody
he closed his discourse with an ap-
peal TO the unsaved to make prep
