If -he does not make this neighborhood too hot for the Devil before he lets up it. will b> because his satanic majesty is too thick-skinned to be affected by personal magnetism, dramatic fire, sidesplitting comedy, wonderful powers uf mimicry, and above and beyond all else an energetic and untiring earnestness. And this is not all. Rev. J. H. Weber is at times passionately eloStirs Up the Sinners -and-Wants* tors-briefly,explaining that.these meetings were for the betterment of the city, because through them souls would be directed to Jesus Ohrist. Local Methodists had, he said, been looking forward eagerly to them for months and praying for their successful issue. He paid a tribute to the Epworth Leaguers whom he characterized as a “strong arm” in the cause of salvation. “Now, then,” said the. revivalist, a plump, smooth-faced, good-natured looking man of medium height and perhaps fifty years old, springing briskly from the chair on the pulpit platform that he had been occupying, “let’s have some more singing. I like the Cornish people because they like to sing.” He led off with “When I See the Blood,” and ‘at the end of the first stanza he shouted, “Everybody sing. Don’t look at me. Look at your books.” Next he started the song, “The Very quent. He clearly believes and feels every word he utters, and he does not mince the words. If he does not impart a whole lot of bis religious fervor to two-thirds of the people who hear him before he gets through here it will be because Nevada Cityans are constituted different from the people of the bandreds of other towns and cities in, the United States where he has made himself famous as one of the most notable and successful soul-savers of the century. It is not hard to understand after once seeing and hearing him why he is known as “the cyclone evangelist.” The church was not more than twothirds filled last. night. The majority of those inattendance were Methodists, and women atthat: Rev. J. W. Phelps, the pastor, had the choir and the congregation sing “All Huil the Power of Jesus’ Name,” then he prayed. He asked the Lord that hundreds of our people might be led to give their hearts to Him ‘before the meetings ended ; that the populace Same Jesus,” beating time on the pulpit with hia book. “Let’s try over,” he suggested at the close of stanza number one, “and get the swing of the piece next time. It’s the swing makes it go.” : Suddenly he turned to the choir be1 hind him : “Now, partners, keep still a moment.” While the choir kept still he had the congregation on the right side~ of the church try a verse, then those on the left side. : “You don’t get warmed up yet,” he exclaimed. “Let the choir try it alone and show you how.” Even the choir did not quite satisfy him, and he remarked : “T see what’s the trouble. The song is new to you, but you’ll all do better when you get acquainted with it. You’re like a new horse. You have to be broken in.” At the conclusion of this song Mr. Weber said : “Brother Sandow, will you lead us in @ short prayer, please-?” > Mr. Sandow prayed, after which evmight come out in force to hear and be : o the auditf Piano Tuning.

Successor to Lammon Bros, Constantly on hand. & portly, ministerial looking man who sat en in the holy land, that half way down the middle aisle, was invited to pray, but begged off on the plea that he was suffering with asthma. “That's all right, Brother Knox,” responded Mr. Weber. © “Brother Truan will lead.” Brother Truan prayed. The instant the latter said amen the evangelist burst into an impassioned, pleading prayer to the Deity. He spoke with marvelous rapidity. A collection was taken up when he finished. When the money had been handed in Mr. Webber began his talk of the evening. “Iam here to do business,” he observed with all the bon homie of a commercial traveler, “I won’t do the way brother Phelps. does or you wouldn’t want me here. One of his kind ina town is enough. So. is one of my kind. I may get even Brother Sandow mad before I quit, but that won't stop me. I’ve gota job on hand and I’m going to finish it, My first prayer when I got into town was that the lord would take the devil out of Brother Phelps. Yes it was. And I asked that the devil be taken out of Webber, out of your church officials, and out of everybody in town. I suppose you think it would have also been a good idea to pray for those fellows down at Grass Valley. If you Methodists want that prayer answered you’ve got to roll up your sleeves and spit on your hands. The only way to do a thingis in a business way. I like to see a chap who is courting 4 girl spark her so hard that the sparks fly.” He thought if-everybody stood in the crowds would get so big in a few nights that the meetings would have to move from the church tothe theater. “Got a theater here, I suppose?” he turned around and asked the pastor. “We have that,” said Mr. Phelps, “but we're going to stay right here.” “All right,” assented the other, “whatever you say goes. You're the boss.” Then Parson Phelps half relented at standing out and said they’d move when the crowds could get into the church no tonger. “Look here, you folks,” was the next sally from the speaker, “before I let up hereI may get some of you mad. I may. get you so hot I can light a match on you. I’m goingto bang. away at you with a woman’s gun, such as they use tters and hits everything in sight. I’ll’even get that editor over there. I'll tell him what’s good for his soul. Til scratch his back, then he’.l turn around and scratch mine by teliing about these meetings and helping wake up the people.

I believe in naving a good time.” He s1id he was not going to preach to one kind of people aione “I propose to hold Him up to the drunkard, the harlot, as well,and try to suave them too.” He told a pathetic story about a young soldier from Manila that came up on the same train he did, going to his mother in the East.’ The lad had a bottle of whiskey, but an old Presbyterian lady got to talking to him and he threw the.stuff away, registering a vow with tears in his eyes that he would never drink again. “By the way, Brother Phelps,” exclaimed the evangelist, ‘is it yur idea to make this just a Methodist revival?” ‘The pastor smiled and said no, it was for everybody. “I was just going to tell you if it was to be exclusive I proposed to go right straight home. 1. want it to be for every body—for all the denominations. I want to help save Roman Catholics and Presbyterians or Oongregationalists or Episcopals just as well as Methodists, Then when they have got the divine influence let them go to the church where they can do the most good.” At this juncture he stepped down into the audience and addressing one of the ladies said : “I’1) crawl up into the mining stope where your Jack is and put my arm around him so,” and suit: ing the action to the word he placed Ane “Some of you may not li but if you’ll help me well at on: results.

He plied an imaginary whip and sawed on imaginary reins. ? “@ long, g’ long!” he shouted. “Get out o’ this! Oluck, cluck. Whoopla!” The audience came near shouting too at the. realistic scene. ‘ He saw some boys in the back of the church. “Pm sorry you ushers put those young fellows way back there,” he said earnestly. “I want to see them and they want to see me, but the bigh hate of the ladies obstruct the view. Tm going to have the dear boys with me if I have to go in:o the saloons afterthem. Ican’t convert empty seats and spears of grass. and pray and look good, then go home and quarrel with your families.

And some of you women in whose month butter. wouldn’t. melt when you’re out in company, but who are scolds and vixens at home, you need conversion too. -.“Ag for the Cornish people,” he continued, “when they are religious they are the most religious people in the world. But when they go back they are about the meanest. They’re either hot or cold. They’re everything or nothing. “Every place I go the church people say, ‘This is a peculiar place,’ and Tam warned to be careful in what: I say. Now before you get rid of me you'll find I’m a peculiar man. I call things by their right names. I say hell, devil, God, when referring to any of them. It may grate on some of your velvet ears, but you’ve got to stand it. Ian well. fixed at a good hotel and have plenty of money to get home with, sol can be as independent as you think you are.” : : He said some of the people would go home from the meeting and say they didn’t like him, but he didn’t care about that because he was working for Jesus and not Weber. ‘Some of the sisters will go out of here and say (here he mimicked a sharp-tongued woman’s voice and manner), ‘I don’t like Brother Weber, do you? Iexpect that, and it doesn’t make any difference as long as she gets in and works for these meetings.” ; His peroration was-the story of a christian'miner and his sudden death; joy of the better land. It was sublimely eloquent-and tearfully pathetic by turns. Suddenly theevingelist annoanced, “Now come up please and get acquaintI want to shake hands with you all. We don’t have any ben} ediction ‘or singing to wind up with. We're through now.” And many of the people stepped up and made his acquaintance, On each week-day evening Mr. Weber will preach at 7:30, and on Sundays at 11,3 and 7. Next week on every afternoon except Saturday he will hold services at 3 o’clock. Later during his stay he will exhibit some fine pictures of various countries. Today Mr. Weber told the reporter the story of his life—how he was reared in a German Catholic home; was a bartender, and prepared for the variety stage, but was dissuaded by his mother; was converted in a Baptist street meeting in Cincinnati; worked his way through thé Ohio Wesleyan University, and.has seen 50,000. “seekers” duriag his twenty years of evangelistic labors.

Whoopla!” The audience came near shouting too at the. realistic scene. ‘ He saw some boys in the back of the church. “Pm sorry you ushers put those young fellows way back there,” he said earnestly. “I want to see them and they want to see me, but the bigh hate of the ladies obstruct the view.
