TKe Bystander.
The meetings at the Methodist church
continue this week. The evangeiist,
Rev. Evaas, is said to be rather spicy
at times and has been somewhat criti-
cized for his Sam Jones-Abe Mulkey-
Biliy Sunday methods of lashing the
sinner to the mourners' bench. There
are people who prefer to have their
spiritual illnesses treated in a homeo-
pathic way, with organ accompani-
ment; others prefer the allopathic sys-
tem with a brass band overture preced-
ing the admistralion of the dose; others
would be content with nothing less
than a public, outdoor demonstration,
the beating of tom-toms and the shout
of a barker to draw attention to the
transformation act by which a sinner is
cleansed of his iniquities and made
spotless as the driven snow by the
vicarious sacrifice of the Man of Galli-
lee. Personally, we would prefer our
spiritual affairs attended to in some old
cathedral, mellowed by time and hal-
lowed by saintly association. But we
most not forget that it is results that
count, and if the anvil and hammer
method can show results, let those who
prefer the chant of priest, the perfume
of burning incense, the hush of silent
worship, be slow tc cast the stone of
condemnation at methods more noisy,
yet possibly as sincere.
