Thk increasing interest in the
revival which has l>een going
on in this city has rendered sen-
sational. political and baseball-
ical new very scarce. So if this
issue is to full of “old time re-
ligion” notes to suit a few of our
readers, they will understand the
situation. As a rule those who
appreciate such items as wfe give
in this issue the least, are the ones
that most need them, anyhow.
J. W. GATKHof Port Arthur,
Texas met the preacher at Seattle
Monday, who forty years ago
performed his marriage ceremony
Gates handed the preacher $1000,
remarking that at the time of
the wadding he was up able to
pgy an adequate fee." Many
preachers would doubtless re-
joice to.see the sort of spell that
struck Mr. Gates become con-
tagious.

Notice to Applcants for State
Pensions.
County Judge Keith has re-
ceived a circular from E. A. Hol-
mes commissioner of Pensions
at Austin stating that he has re-
ceived several thousand appli-
cants for state pensions, and for
want of assistants in his office
will not be able to mail out
notices of approval or disapproval
until during the months of Sep-
tember and October.
He states that the first quarter
ly payment of pensions under the
new law is not due until Decem-
ber 1st, which gives him time to
provide every newr pensioner
with identification affidavits
prior to that date.

The great tabernacle meeting special friends about it. Tues-
closed last night with the largest day morning Bob arose in the
crowd of the week present ex-
cept on Sunday night. The in-
terest was good to the last and
Brother Taylors final sermon was
one of the best he has preached.
In this closing servic 3 there were
five conversions, several restora-
tions and $301 subscribed to pay
off an old debt on the tabernacle.
During the 19 days of the
meeting there were between 75
and 100 professions and many
Christians had the joys of salva-
tion restored.
Regular services will be re-
sumed in the various churches
Sunday, when an opportunity
will be given all who wish to
unite.

Horace King preached one of
the best sermons of the meeting

Let no one put a straw in the

now 86 years old, professed at 12
and has helped lead several
generations of her family to
Jesus and still dates her conver-
sion back to girlhood 76 years
ago.
Rev' A. S. Blackwood, the
Presbyterian pastor^ is a mighty
forpe In the pulpit. The sermon
preached by him one morning
last week was one of the best
ever heard in the city, but the
one he preached Wednesday was
better. He had to be out of the
meeting two or three days for
appointments elsewhere and all
were glad of his return.
The faithful musicians who
have been so helpful to the choir
will ever be remembered by the
large congregations for their
goodness. They have worked in
the best of harmony with the
choir leader Rev. McLaughlin
and he has greatly appreciated
each of them.
