AT BIG REVIVAL

Yesterday was Red Letter day in
the history of the Czatssl Baptist
church. The great evangelistic meet
ings had been growing in power all
through the week, but even the most
optimistic did not expect more than
was realized yesterday. At IL 100 a
m. Evangelist Phillips spoke to a well
filled house on the subject "PFe4
paration for Revival" At a o'clocF
in the afternoon he delivered a pow
-erful sermon on Specially Prepar-
ed He'll for Christians" At this meet
ing Mr.. Phillips spoke for more thai
one hour to a crowded house.
At the evening service very nov
el offering for the expenses of the
meeting was taken. The pastor plac-
ed large dishpan on pedestal be-
fore the pulpit, and the congregation
was asked one section at time to
come forward and make an offering
in the old fashioned way. Hundreds
marched up, men, women and chill
dren. Though the dishpan was large,
it looked as if it would be filled be-
| fore the offering was all in.
Hounds Find the Hare in Ameri-
Gus" was the topic at the evening
service. Many were weeping and sob
bing at the close of the Service when
the first opportunity for membership
during the meetings was given. Twen-
ty were received at this hour. The
congregation at night was the largest
ever seen in the history of the
church, every available bit of space
being taken.
A full program has been arranged
for this week. There will be preach
ing every day at II a. m. and 7:45

"a THRILL WITH THOUGHTS OF
WHAT THE FUTURE HELD"
CHAPTER VII

L VERETT was very rich-so IA
Ia ther said. He had large business
interests, which required a great deal
of attention. He also said that l was
very lucky girl to marry man
who could care so well for ME should
anything happen to him. thought so
too. And while | had none of tha'
feeling of intense love had read
amout for my intended husband,
was wildly excited, a-thrill with
thoughts of what the future held for
me.
Everette wrote often and constant
ly sent me presents. Lovely things,
ring, pair of bracelets and dull,
gold locket set in diamonds with a
picture of himself inside. All appro-
pirate presents for young girl.
When | showed the locket to Rose
| she said:
"He doesn't love himself, does he?
Putting himself in diamond frame"
| didn't let it make me angry. | fell
sure Rose was jealous. "Why don't
you send him one of yours for his
watch case. I'll bet he's got his first
in there yet"
When Rose said that l did get an
cry and cried. She was awfully sorry
but that didn't make me stop think
| ing she might be right. And such
thoughts made me awfully unhappy
sometimes made me almost wish
wasn't to marry Everett until l toe
had been married before. Yet l hard
" understood how | could accom-
plish that. But if / had also loved
someone first it would have seemed
more fair.
| l did have my picture taken anC
sent it to Everett. l told him
thought he might like to put it ii
his watch. He thanked me very nicely
but said it did not do me justice
and that he would have one taken by
good photographer after we were
married.

20 a report on Wartime Changes In
Wages issued recently by The ma

Increases In weekly earnings Of men
ranged from 81 per rent 10 ITO per

Percentage Increases In earnings Of
female workers were broadly similar
In the respective industries. with.
however. "a somewhat wider range.
The eight Industries included were
metal. cotton, wool. SILK. boo and
shoe, paper. rubber and chemical
manufacturing. The average results
are based on payroll data for one
week. usually the third week Of Sep
temhcr. FOR the years 1914 10 1918.
and for the FIRST week OF March. 1912
Tho highest percentage OF increases
often were recorded in cases where
absolute earnings were relatively low.

cases greater than tho corresponding
percentage Increase IN cost OF living,
which was placed By q previous re-
port Of the bo-rd al SIS per cent
FOR tho period from July, 1874, TO
March. 1919. This fact indicates
says the report, that these workers
were la general able to maintain and
even TO improve their standards II
living prevailing In 1914"
The most pronounced Increases In
weekly earnings Of males up TO Sep
tember. 1918. were recorded In the
chemical. metal. rubber. cotton. and
wool manufacturing industries. In the
three latter groups. however, there
WAS a sharp falling on on weekly
earnings during the period from Sep
ter, 1918, To- March. 1919. This was
due to "a reduction In tho number OF
hours worked. which In turn was
partly due TO tho REORGANIZATION Mt
