SEYANGELISTIC MEETINGS
INCREASING IN INTEREST
Meeting viii Begin Early Tonight So
All May Attend Reception to Sol
diprs.

The eyangelstic meetings at the VI.
E. church which began Sunday are
gradually drawing larger congrega-
tions The promises made in behalf OF
the drummer evangelist" have not
been overdrawn. The music, under
L fection Of Mrs Callahan, is good and
is becoming better as the choir be-
comes better trained The special
numbers by the evangelist and Mrs.
Callahan are particularly appreciated.
With the coming of Professor Kerns,
who is now en- route, the musical fea-
lures will be further augmented.
~One of the things said of the evan
Nelist was that he could not be re-
ported. This is true. No reporter can
paint the pathos, the tragedy, the hu-
NOR, the minicry, the earnestness ana
eloquence that come alternately from
HMM rapid changes. His scrip
ture readings also defy a reporters
skill. He must be seen as well as
heard, 10 be appreciated.
He is a master of satire. Sunday
evening, having read an editorial IN
the Salt Lake Tribune in reference to
tobacco fund for the boys in France,
he unlimbered his tongue for few
minutes in eloquent and humorous
criticism of the tobacco habit Thls
having brought to mind other intem-
perate things that need correcting, he
read the following questions, directing
attention to them. and left them with
out comment, leaving that to the
minds Of those who heard him:
Does soup ever make man crazy?
Do fish ever drag a man down un-
der the table?
Does bread ever give a man the big
head next morning?
When a man eats beefsteak today,
does he crave the whole COW tomor-
row. and if he can not get it does 1t
set him smashing the furniture?
Does the leg of chicken send a
man home to kick his wife and spank
his babies?
Does a woman ever send notice
down to the hotelman forbidding him
to sell her husband pancakes?
Do life insurance companies ever
.~-tyNa men down because they are
addicted to strawberries and cream
Do apple dumplings ever make
man rosy nOsed?
Does pumpkin pie ever keep a mar
from finding the key hole?
Did you ever know of a man stand
ing on a gallows ready to be hanged
that said coffee brought me here
boys?
In willard. New York the wors
cases are said to be the cigarette lun
atics. We can find nutriment IL
everything the Tribune speaks of ex
cept cigarettes. God is never viii
the majority, so that is no excuse 10
the thing that is wrong. Nearly ever
lady says tobacco is unclean. Doctor
say it is unhealthy. We men knoN
it is expensive God would brand sue
a thing sin. Give us the tobacco mon
ey and we will give France all tn
sugar she wants.
Tonight the meeting will begin eaI
ly, at o'clock, so that all who desir
may attend the reception to the sol
diers. Friday night the booster
chorus will be featured.

that some Early Bart grown at Rock
