r. !. H. All ToGd HIt IN

Last evening an inebriate Chilean or Mexican made his way towards the wireless station, but when he had reached Mr. Heath's homestead, the presumption is that he was tired and desired to rest. He en- tered Mr. Heath's home and as none of the men folks were pres ent, the women left the house and went to a neighbor. Later, MT. Heath returned and lead the man on the road to town and went for his family, when MT. Heath left again thinking that the man would go on his way. However, the man returned soon. Then the marshal was called to the family's assistance by telephone. For some reason or other, the marshal failed to re- spond, and finally the man was given a place to sleep and this morning he said that he had been working at the "It" mine and had cashed check. But the report is that this morning he had neither check nor overcoat.

Three men celebrated the ami

IN come and rejoice with them.
For John II. Wyburn, superintendent
Of the mission, yesterday marked the
end OF twenty-eight years, OF cream

teen AS each told the story OF what
he had been-drunk, degraded, worth
less-the gratitude which he felt Tor
the strength granted to him 70 keep
fresh for so many years, the lnsplra-
tion of his moment of conversion
gripped the crowd that filed the gray
walled hall. Men who had suffered as
they had suffered wiped tears from
their eyes and jumped to their feet 70
tell their own stories and TESTIFY 10
tLeir own faith as soon as the speak

Men who had felt the influence oil
the mission twenty-five years ago were
as ardent in their praise Of its work
and that of the superintendent as the
two who had come TO it twenty-four
hours before. In every testimony the
time since conversion was recorded IN
wears. months and weeks; in one case
even the hours and minutes were gwen,
so keenly proud of his triumphant
fight against terrible odds was the
speaker. -,
Well dressed men with their sons,
sailors in uniforms, young converts
coatless and collsrless, all joined IN
congratulating Mr. Wyburn and his CO.
celebrants. Drifters, still under the
influence of liquor, rolled in to rest
and remained TO confess their SINS
Happiness was the keynote OF the
meeting
