Of course this man‘s way of putting it was a litte crude but is was practical, the first holiday he had during the whole whole season he employed it by doing a good turn to a man who was unable to help himself. A man said to me the other day I will give you something for facts and fancies here it is. ""I am one of the bad men of the town. I am one of the men that drink beer around a keg but the first day I was off work this winter I got a friend and we went and hunted up a load of old railway ties and a cross cut saw and taking thom to the home of & sick man, who had not done a days work in two months, we cut them up for fire wood and I did not see any preachers around there, while we were at it either." Not only is the home robbed by the stage but the homes of the land are beirg .robbed© of the best women by every other avocations,. Hundreds, yea thousands of wemen are flling positions in the land today that should be filled by men, while hundreds of homes suffer for the want of a good housekeeper. warbling falls on unkind life is darkened by beeause they failed to gai It is not their love of mu:s attracts so many people to the st: their longing to be before the foot and their love to gain admirati applause but,of course they do not gain it, sometimes to their sorro Y 0 ~0.0 , Without a donbt there are many ladies screeching out sentimental and comical sengs on the stage today who could be better employed at home singing "Rock a bye baby on the tree top." It is said when a young and handâ€" some girl called on Madame Calve the great singer, seeking her adviee ‘with regard to the career of a professional singer that the Prima Donna advised her to get married and raise a family. If they did nothing else they certainiy aroused many professing christians into new life and church members who have drifted into careless and indifferent habits were» awakened and, refreshed and refilled with onthusiasm and in this respect the visit of the evangilists certainâ€" ly did much good. While the direct results of the evangiâ€" lists campaign may not be apparent to all, yet without & doubs, there has been good resgults, and results that will be far reaching. ‘ Mr. Gray‘s assistants, Mr. Allen the soloist, and Mr..Naramore the personal wortker are also men of ability in their line and were thoroughly in earnest and enthusiastic in their work. It is pleasant to contemplate the fact that a man of Mr. Gray‘s rare ability has «evoted himself to this kind of work because during a few years of evangilistic work he can carry his message to millions whereas, if he was eonfined to some local field of labor, his message could only reach thousands. Mr. Gray does not appeal to jthe emoâ€" tional as much as some evangilists do but his earnestress, his logic, his beautiful language and his oratorial powers cannot help but appeal to everyone within sound of his voice. I do not know aud in all probability no ene individual will ‘ever know the real results of the evangilistic meetings which has been held in Grimsby for the past two weeks but one thing I do know and that is that Revr. Ora Samuel Gray is ous of the most scholariy, talented, pleasing and convincing speakers I have erer had the pleasure of listening to. The treond of temperance work for the past fifteen years has been in the direction of agitation along#legal or law lines. While this line of work is necessary and kas done much good yet I believe that there is no line of work that will bring such encouraging results as that of buildâ€" ing up the character of the young by getting them to become pledged members of temperance societies.
