gelist Detained by Relapse
or Ills Mother.

The sad news that Mrs. Calls, moth
er Of Evangelist Calls, had suffered a
relapse and that Rev. Calls would not
be able to return to his work at Third
Street NJ. f. Church was received late
Saturday evening. This brought added
disappointment to the many who have
been attending the revival services at
this church. Things were moving
along SO favorably when he was first
called away that many feared his go
ing would cause let up of interest,
Then when news came that he would
return Saturday night all wers in high
spirits again only to be cast down
again by the news OF the critical i'll
ness OF Mrs. Calls. However when
the people got together Sunday morn
ing and talked over the situation they
felt that the outlook was so favorable
that with the attraction of the big
chorus which Is singing the best ever,
and the fine flute solos that Prof.
Grenfel is so generous In giving at
each service. and with the favorable
manner In which Rev. Peters preach
ing is being received that It would not
do at all to close the meetings at this
time. So when q vote was taken it
was unanimous to continue until Eas-
ter Sunday the time set to close. And
so the program will go through now
without a hitch Services every eve
ming at 1880 precered by meeting OF
the boosters" at o'clock. Then
there will be the group prayer meet
ings by wards beginning Tuesday at
10 a. m. Leaders and places Of meet
ing will be announced from night to
night BE on hand Monday evening for
these important announcements.
The services Sunday were well at
tended the church being packed at the
evening service. A splendid mems
meeting In the afternoon was address,
es BY Rev s. X. Hunt who gave the
men very searching message, prac-
tical and calculated to make the men
think seriously. The pastor, Rev. Pet
ers. is filling the place Of the evangel-
list with great credit to himself The
extra burden falls hardest upon him.
But the church is standing back OF
him and are determined to carry the
revival through to a successful con-
clusion.
Prof Grenfel's flute solos are prov
ing one of the chief delights of the
musical program. In the afternoon he
gave a good rendition Of the Palms."
and the evening A. f. Titl's famous
serenade. His sermon in song for the
evening was "My Mothers Prayer"
This is Holy Week and asplendid
time to be in church every day. Come
to these services and be helped into
better and brighter life.

With Mexico's Internal Affairs BY the

Mexico City, Nov Fl by the Associ

in a statement replying TO the declara-
tions Of the American state depart
ment concerning charges in the Mex
lean chamber Of deputies of interfer-
ence by the United States IN Mexican
Legislative affairs, said:
1T is a fact that the foreign ofilce
and Mr.. Summerlin tAmerican charge
d,affaires) have had to discuss YER
bally matter pertaining to resumption
OF diplomatic relations between the
two countries. and it is necessary to
emphasize that this department, which

meut NAV employ 10 communicate
with the chancellories of other govern
ments. hever framed petroleum law
project Of which it did not give knowi-
edge TO the American state depart
ment or on. which 1t did not solicit the
state departments comment.
"If President 0bregon saw the ne
cessity Of informing the chamber OF
deputies of the case in question 1t
was because he believes Mr.. Summer
Inns notes exercised restraint on the
legislative faculties Of Mexico, and TO
silence the matter would have been to
show lack Of cooperation with the
federal power involved and would have
lent itself further TO the belief that
il was creating precedent contrary
10 the nations sovereignty, a prece-
dent which could easily be invoked
against Mexico by any foreign govern
ment in the future
Fortunately, the American state
department had declared that it has
no intention in the case mentioned of
disregarding Mexico's sovereignty that
the United States had no desire TO
mix in Mexico's internal affairs as it
recognized that Mexico IS the only
Judge of what its internal policy shall
be and that its feeling towards Mex
leo continues friendly"
