The place for the meetings is at the corner of Quincy and Gordon streets. This is an accessible location and far enough removed from the street car to eliminate the noise of the busy avenue, and yet close enough to afford all the people of the entire city the opportunity of reaching the meetings by way of the street cars.

Doubtless there are tnose wno are anxious to know who Mr. Honeywell is, as he is to lead the workers in the revival meetings. A letter of inquiry was addressed to the Rev. William A. Sunday, doubtless the greatest living evangelist, and here is his reply: Replying to your letter, it seems hardly necessary that Honeywell should require much of a recommendation from me.

In the first place, I had him for an assistant for nearly ten years. This in itself is quite strong enough, especially when this fact is coupled with his splendid success since entering the field of evangelism on his own account. However, I am mighty glad to speak of Honeywell in the very strongest terms. First of all, he is a spirit-filled man, a gentleman and scholar, and his strong preaching, backed up by the power of the Holy Spirit, is bound to bring success. If I can make these words of commendation any stronger, just say the word and I'll be glad to do it.

In closing may I add that it is a pleasure and a privilege for me to give Rev. I. E. Honeywell and his work my unqualified endorsement. 1 The pastors of the churches on the Ber.

I. E. Honeywell, Evangelist. Optimism and Opportunity BIG CROWD WAS THERE. The Labor Day celebration at Garfield park was one of the most interesting and best attended celebration Topeka 's union labor organipations has ever staged.

The latter part of the program had to be called off because of the rain but the main features of the program were carried out. Many picnic parties left before eating their lunches, as practically every available spot was drenched. Protection was sought from the storm by the crowd under the casino and merry-go-round. Carr Taylor of Hutchinson, Progressive candidate for attorney general, gave the Labor Day address at 3 o'clock. His subject was "Industrial There were thirty-two entries in the baby show.

The babies made up for the eoncert that wasn 't given in the evening by Marshall's band. They c-ooed and gurgled that is, some of them. The others gave the harsh part of the concert, crying in stentorian voices. The winners were: Mary Ann Drayer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

J. V. 7 I Speaking from our experience and immediate forecast of possibilities, we feel cheerful and optimistic over the outlook for profitable business and steady employment of labor, with increasing development of foreign trade in neutral countries. America is today the clearing house of the world. The great nations of the earth are depending upon the integrity of her friendship the safety and saneness of her diplomacy the extensiveness of her trade and the soundness of her finance.

It is a time for Americans to show their optimism, their patroitism and their aggressive earnestness. The foundations of our National prosperity have been laid too deep and too strong to be seriously disturbed, even by so great a catastrophe as the war of all Europe. We regret deeply and sincerely that the war must be yet, we are in no wise to blame and are happily far moved from the theatre of its activities. Friendship we feel for all and toward all we must remain in both thought and action entirely neutral. Our duty to ourselves and our moral obligation to the rest of the world compel us Americans to be up and doing; to maintain a cheerful and hopeful spirit, to operate our industries and business enterprises, to pay our bills as usual, and to conduct our affairs generally on conservative, but enthusiastic lines.

It is very good these days to be an American. During the past few weeks our country has encountered a trying experience ki which our finances, our foreign trade and even our domestic business have been disturbed by the sudden and tremendous wars in our ancestral countries. Yet, we are coming out of it well. The President, with his cabinet and the Congress, and the co-operation of bankers and business men called to Washington for the purpose, have promptly and nobly met the emergency by sensible rulings and wise laws, which will largely free our industries and commerce from restraint. They have arranged for the issuance of emergency currency, through amendment to the Aldrich-Vreeland Law, under which national banks can obtain all the currency needed for legitimate business.

They have organized the Federal Reserve Board which will insure the opening of the twelve new Federal Reserve Banks inside of forty days, thus giving ample banking facilities for business to every section of our country. They have amended the ship registry laws so that American capital will buy foreign ships, which, together with the large number of ships already owned by Americans, will fly the flag of the United States and furnish ample carrying capacity for our foreign trade. They have opened the Panama Canal, and thus provided shorter routes for our commerce with South America, Australia and the Far East. We appreciate the patriotic work that has been done and the opportunities thereby offered. P.
