CARDS. DANCES AND THEATERS.

People are becoming more used 10 the off-hand and unconventional style of Evangelist Greenwcod's preaching at the Peoples church, and the irn- pression is deepening that he Is a very vigorous and convincing preacher as well as an unusually effective singer. His sermons yesterday were of high order and produced deep impressions. At the afternoon meetings one man, stranger, came in inquiring if this was where Evangelist Greenwood was to preach on "The Christien and POp.' ular Amusements.' When he went out he remarked that that preaching was all right, and that he was coming again in the evening and bring his friend with him. It was searching and convincing sermon, showing the dangers to real piety and usefulness in the church of the triple amuse- ments, the dance, the card table and the theater.

To Buy Brass Here.
Most Locals Unaffected.

Those familiar with market condi- tons stated today that this latest de- cision of the Canadian powers would have absolutely no effect of harmful nature on most of the local stocks. It is pointed out that on the contrary Bristol Brass, American Brass and other similar concerns would profit thereby, because it will be to these plants that the Canadian factories will have to look for their brass and cop per supplies used in such enormous Quantities in the munitions works. These concerns would not only get the American orders, but also the Domin- ion orders. It is also stated that the decision to withdraw contracts would have no effect on Colts, or in fact any of the sO-called locals except two or three that deal so extensively in pro- ducing the finished munitions product
