REVIVAL MEETING
Rev. Fl. !. Stewart Opens Service
at First Baptist Church


The meeting at the First Baptist
Church last night surpassed the
expectations of the most sanguine.
The main auditorium was pract-
cally filled-a most remarkable fact
for Monday night. Rev. II. /.
Stewart, of Washington, preached
his first sermon and though wearied
from a previous meeting, reached
the high expectations entertained of
his ability as preacher. His fund
of illustration seems we'll nigh in
exhaustible land quotations from
the realm of sacred literature and
otherwise is remarkable.
He took as his topic, ''Joseph of
Arimathea," and traced the life of
that man from his trembling ac-
ceptance of Christ to the place of
bold and open service in the King
dom. Mr.. Stewart is gifted with a
most exceptionable flow of lam
guage which has the effect almost
of torrent. His humor, is natural
and pervasive, and the smile was
frequent. This, in turn, was used
IN driving home some point.
Frequently the speaker was so
tender in his apt illustrations that
the tear was seen in the eye Of
many. 1t was all an appeal for
open discipleship and the crowd
was perceptibly moved. Four or
five, by the uplifted hand, showed
deep concern. Tonight at 7:i5
o'clock he speaks: "a Bible Picture
Of Stacker"

Would Have Prices Plainly Marked.
I would also recommend that 1t be
required that all goods destined for in
terstate commerce should in every case
where their form or package makes it
possible be plainly marked with the
price at which they left the hands of
the producer. Such requirement
would bear a close analogy to certain
provisions of the pure food act, by which
1t Is required that certain detailed in
| formation be given on the labels of
| packages of foods and drugs.
And 1t does not seem to me that we

measures of this kind, II 1t is indeed
! our purpose to assume national control

! take 1t for granted that that is our
| purpose and our duty. Nothing less
| will suf1ce. We need not hesitate to
handle a national question in a ma
| tional way. We should go beyond the
| measures have suggested. We should

Such a law would afford welcome OPP
