Special. Furious forest fires are raging in Northern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin and an immense amount of damage has been done, exactly how much cannot be guessed. For miles on three sides of Duluth the fire rages among the pines, and many country residences have been destroyed oy me names. On the Hermantown road, near Duluth, every dwelling for four miles has been destroyed. It is feared also that some lives have been lost, as incoming farmers report a vast sea of fire which is sweeping everything before it.

A high wind is blowing, which makes it impossible for any headway to be made against the fire. It must simply burn until there is nothing more for it to destroy.

One of his climaxes would have been marred under ordinary circumstances by the crying of a baby which did not inherit the deficiency of the young mother who had brought it; but between that circle of fixed eyes and Dr. Gillette no sound could come as an interruption.

Dr. Gillette's gestures were no more frequent or more vigorous than some public speakers'. Dr. Talmage's, for instance. But each gesture was charged with meaning.

Necessarily it was harmonious with the thought expressed and, therefore, dramatically graceful. One could not help being impressed with the idea that a world of possibilities may lie before the orator with a voice by a training in this more exact school of gesticulation. Once Dr. Gillette touched the pathetic side of his congregation by referring to the difficulties which beset the deaf and dumb in their efforts toward a religious life. "Nine out of ten of the temptations of the world," said the doctor, in manual language, "are presented through the sight.

On the other hand nine out of ten of the admonitions to resistance are presented through the sense of hearing. Your tendency, therefore, to sin is as 100 to 1.. How well you have overcome this tendency I know." At the close of the sermon Prof. J. L.
