Christian Revival Closes
Rev E G Rees closed a three
weeks meeting Sunday night Dur-
ing this time the reverend gentle-
man delivered a number of very
interesting and instructive ser-
mons which held the attention of
the large audiences that came to
heal him Besides the five ad-
ditions to the church we feel that
these meetings have resulted in
much good aa they turned the
people’s minds to their spiritual
welfare giving them much food
for thought The singing at these
services was very fine

A Letter From Dr Dixon
(Continued from Sept 4)
Feb 6 1914
I got up early this morning and
took a long walk down "Rue De
Rivoli" as far as the "Place De
Bastile" The street was interest-
ing as the upper end of it is one
of the fashionable shopping parts
of town while thelower end near
"Place De Bastile" is more like a
the sight of the old Bastile and
natury lflinlg of t(ie Kslo
(r of that famous old prison that
by chin straps They- look like
part of the old armors worn years
ago The statue that stands where
the Bastile stood is very pretty and
the square where it stands is beau-
tiful and so one thinks of the con-
trast between that lovely scene
now and what it wa once 1 nex u
crossed th beriL a'-d started to
the "Musee De Clung’ which is
ihe oldest museum in Paris and
contains nothing ' but antiques
On the way not far from "Notre
Dame" I came to some very old
quarters where I spent some time
looking and thinking what they
may have been In the past These
buildings were partly deserted and
some of the walls propped up
There wajan old church no long
er used and the stone walls were
propped np in several places
These old buildings were very
queer looking and there were
great heavy bars over the windows
which were small and over some
of the doors hung old signs of ‘Inn
etc 1 found this old part of Paris
was near the museum I had started
to visit and the museum was very
fine The building was very old
and the back part was partly fal-
len down with only the walls
standing in some places There
were many people standing at
the entrance and we had to wait
about a half hour before the doors
were opened It will be impossi-
ble to discribe "Musee De Clung"
but I will try to tell of some of the
interesting things 1 saw there The
outside of the building was inter'
esting too- as there was a large old
garden with many very old statues
in it Some of the interesting
things inside were carriages used
the 16th Century also 18th
in
Century Thtfy Were well preserved
and were the original vehicles used
by the Royalty They wpre very
elaborately trimmed and the
wheels were great high things
The body was suspended on large
iron straps from the springs' at
either end On the top were sev-
eral statues of gold and the inside
was exquisite There were 5 in
all' add all vry imposing looking
In tYls room were some slerghrf

j that was used at that lime and was
very fine being trimmed in gold
There was a golden cradle from
the' 15th Century In here also
were many things trom the cru-
saders great swerds that looked
too heavy for a man to carry also
the boots worn by them looked
like they were made for giants In
one roorfl were several old bows
and arrows used by the Archers
in another old stone tombs used
years ago with great heavy lids to
fit over them in another an old
bedroom sute form (he 16th Cen-
tury and the canopy was fairly
well preserved After going over
a good part of the old museum we
next visited the Art Galleries of
Paris and there saw the modern
paintings and statues They were
all very fine and extremely inter-
esting I do not think I have men-
tioned the streets of Pario at night
yet so will do so now I was out
one night on the main streets
which are De L Opera and Bole-
vard De Italians These streets
are crowded at night and here one
sees the fashion of Paris I was
in one of the theatres or Boulevard
De Italians and it was great The
performance was a short sketch of
all the shows that had been acted
there during 19L3 and the scenery
was fine as the scenes changed so
fast in order to get thru It was al-
most one continuous performance
The Parisians are a gay people
bui from all I have seen 1 would
call it a forced gayety &xd mo£i
style than'real pleasure ahd after
being among the Germans for a
short while you can see the differ-
ence in real pleasure seeking and
this forced gayety of Paris In my
Opinion the people of Berlin enjoy
life much more than the Parisians
Still Paris is extremely interesting
especially in two ways you can
see the most modern city in the
world here and in a few minutes
be among the most ancient
can
buildings etc I will not try to
describe any further as one can-
not describe a city like this in so
short a time I leave for London
soon where I hope to find people
that I can talk to and in being
able to ask questions I may see
more of that city but in Paris
aside from the shops and hotels
there is seldom any one that
speak English
