It was tl)e day In the progrress of the revival and of tbe biggest days in the history of the church. It began at ten o'clock im the morning and after that it was practically a continuous performance till ten p. m. PhiliipB conducted a special ser-' viCe for young people at ten in the morning and secured nearly forty conversions. This was followed by the regular Sunday monjing service, at which preached powerful sermon on the evil of concealed sin.

He drew his lesson from the Bible story of Aiken, a member of the army of Israel, who stole a part of I the spoils taken in a battle and hid it in his tent, thus invokine Ood's displeasure and causing the (Jefeat of the army of Israel in the engagement that followed. The speaker applied this lesson to the church, and related a number of Instances from his own experience in revival work where a grudge between two members of the church or soine other unconfessed sin had defeated all efforts at a revival. i At the close of the service fifty persons, most of them young people, many of them children ten or twelve years of age, joined the church.

It will be in the election last full that, the I'hoonix championed the cause or the brewers in Its eilitorlal columns In their elTort to control of the iiuinlcipality by thrusting upon It the most pernicious piece of legislation known to this centtiry. It will also be remembered that the Phoenix charged collusion between the preachers and the bootleggers In that campaign. The pole puriiose of this was to in- tinilrtnio some of our preachers, at least to the extent of causing them to let up tn their fight against the This of intimidation Is a well known trick of the brewer octopus In every campaign, and Innsinuch as Mr.

Miller and the ri'ooiiix were both lined up them last full and the same old trlclta are resorted to In this cam- l)algn. It Is only reasonable to suppose that they are not far apart now. Tho car(oon on the editorial of Sundays PJioenix picturing a drunUen brawl at the lunches taken by the Democratic campaign committee is the last resort of desperate demagogs as they gc down to defeat.

It has been the custom at these Ivmches to begin by having someone invoke the "divine bles.sing, and the best ofvde- corum and courtesy has prevailed at all of them. When the Phoenix, the brewers, Bradley, Miller, or anyone Slse" Intimates that there have been drttaken browls, or anything else good at these lunches, they are slanderers of the first water. A number of the prominent preachers of the city have made frequent visits to Democratic headquarters, and this Is simply a trick of the brewers to drive us away, and it will not servo their purpose in this case. 1 do not believe that the good citizens of this city will for a minute helievo that we, as ministers, would have anything to do with the kind of. revelry shown in this cartoon; but I believe they will resent such an attack upon us the polls.
