I I . traction line th a t has a road constructed three miles south of Springfield on the Clifton pike as a new’ entrance for the South Charleston branch. With Mr. Baker was his engineer, Mr. Huu t, and eight other citizens of Washington C, H . who are stockholders and interested m the proposed road. The party made the trip in two automobiles from Washington U, H. as far as Clifton. The delegation was met a t the mayor’s office where a number of citizens gathered to welcome them, Dr. J.O. Stewart accompanied' the party to Oliffou where the picnic grounds were inspected. The beauty of the grounds'greatly impressed the promoters as a strong attraction for building theiine this way rather than by South Solon. As has’been stated the company has been offered a free righ t of way from Springfield to Oedavvilie by the people living along the pike.' There are three proposed routes as mapped out by the Clifton commlt- tee. ■■■■■■■■■ I t is stated that, the Washington O. H. people are overly anxious to have the road built b.\ Jamestown and.Cedarville and are doing all in the ir power to accomplish su ch .v Tho promoters made no promises bu t the general feeling is that Oadarville (will .uot be missed if the road is extended south.

KERR & HASTINGS BROS. Dear Old Friends and Editor:— While you may have briefly rioted th a t Kansas City was privileged to enjoy a fortnight of the presence and preaching of this notpd evange­ list of England, said to be tho great­ est living evangelist in the world, yon can have no idea how he com­ pletely drew tens of thousands to each and all of his services in Con vention Hall, which is said to seat comfortably 18,000 persons. At any rate, from the first it was crowded, and people turned away, unable to got in, J, myself went, twice, early as Xbelieved, for the 3 p.- m, and 8 p, in. services and found the great doors closed—people came two and three hours ahead of time. ’l*q bo Sure there was the overflow meet­ ings a t 8 p, m, a t different places, good meetings too. The same gos­ pel th a t Gypsy preached but it did not satisfy you, you were terribly disappointed. Bu t while this was the case for very many, we all had the privilege of reading after him. in the three dailies, th a t gave copious extracts of his sermons ’ and exhortations. Blessings on the newspaper report­ ers for their unfailing faithfulness. Gypsy Smith is unlike Sam Small, Sam Jones, Billy Sunday—all of whom Xhave heard. Ho is- some­ what swarthy In complexion; not m the least excitable; plain in lan­ guage. so tha t a child can easily understand him. He is not such a great orator, but very pleasing and winning in his address and quickly has the audience m full sympathy with him. by what plainly is his spiritual goodness and earnest de­ sire to win souls for the Master be serves. He does not have a large salary. Says he don’t want it. One half of the expenses of the halt, advertising, lights, etc,, are taken from the collections, ’The other half goes to the National Free Church Counsel of England, which embraces five denominations, who have engaged five missionaries for work in the different part# of the world and are paid salaries, i t is a wwrid-wtds paid in her#,, The editor of the •Star sent in o n e .hundred dollars during the meetings, ns a tribute tor the good work be was doing in tins eiry, Gypsy was pleased and read the note before bis audience, When asked just before leaving, how many he thought he had con­ verted in the p ast two weeks, he replied, “ I hope I have not convert­ ed auy, but I do hope my Lord has converted thousands. If I had been the one to do the converting, I am afraid it won’t last long. I am only the messenger--a voice, and Xwant them to seo Hun, not me.” This describes the man and his powerful hold on an audience. He has had the pleasure often of b < eing 4)00 rise a t once and declare for a changed life and was especially pleased when 30 soldiers from Ft. Leavenworth, arose and went to tho Inquiry room. At these inquiry rooms wereminis- t r» from all the different churches ro help give comfort and 1 nstructlon, Sabbath a t Uo'clock his talk was to men only, and ’tis said the hall was filled. At eight o’clock Sab­ bath night, his last night, thedoors were closed a t G:C0 as every avail­ able inch was by tha t time filled ills text for this sermon was, “The mrvest Is passed; the summer is ended, aud wo arc not saved.” “ N ot S aved ” wan what he dwelt on, and leaping out over ftie pulpit, he cried out, “What did it cost God to save you and- me?” Oh, it was a memorable service Then they •ang, “ Where He Loads, I ’ll Fol­ low.” Think of 15,01)') or I(!,(KM>slng- ing all together/ He said he hated to leave Kansas City. Ho liked us He liked our genial, kind ways, and he never spoke in as good a house as Convention Hall. "X wish 1 could taka it with tno around th< v.irld and when I conic again I a am to stay a whole month." No doubt he will be invited to come again m the near future. Ho is ac­ companied by his wife. Two years ago on his tour of America lie had his daughter, with him and hold meetings In several Iowa cities. From this city lie goes to Denver On the very last n igh t the local managers arranged a pay admission of OOo and 23c -to tho hall. Then Gypsy told tho interesting events of his childhood and the conversion of ids father and of tho entire family Tho matingern meant this collection as a personal gift to the evangelist. He said in part, “ My father was a largo handsome man. My mother was a great hearted gypsy woman, who loved her five children with :v most tender devo­ tion. One day she died. His father was luconsoJahlo. Hi e was taken In a common cart to her grave.
