Revival Meeting at First Baptist Church 1" * , ~ Th? revival meeting which had been in progress at the First Baptist church for 1*2 days came to a close yesterday morning and Rev. W. L. Walker, D. D., left for his home at Danville, Ky., yesterday afternoon. Throughout, the meetings were largely attended ar.d from start to finish were full of lnteiest. As a partial result of the meeting 33 candidates await baptism into the fellowship of the First Bapti?-. church. Several were received by k'tter and the spiritual condition of the church and the community seems to be greatly improved. The blessings coming out of the meeting are not limited to the church which was responsible for it. More than any meeting which has been held in Union for many years the services were attended by the representatives of all churches. Dr. Walker won for himself a large place in the esteem and affections of the people of Union. He is witty, winsome and wise. His is a most pleasing personality and his methods are above criticism. He hits a hard blow at sin and is exceedingly tender and compassionate in dealing with the sinner.- He is outspoken against modern society evils, jjives the dance and the card game no quarter, and strikes a terrific blow at all forms of destructive criticism. He preaches in the conversational style, has a great capacity for making truth transparent 1 and speaks a direct message to the 1 heart and the conscience. He exposes the faults and the foibles of the in1 consistent church member in such a > way that one sees himself in the picture and he silences the unfriendly critic of the church with irrefutable logic. He makes the cross central in I' his message and does not fail to tell of the efficacy of the blood. It is safe to say that no preacher who ever came ! to Union received a more critical re( ception or left behind a more universal ( verdict of approval.

' ? -^.Washington, June 8.?The soldiers' bonus 'bill was formally presented tonight^ po the senate after a first effort by Chairman McCumber of the ftiynce committee to report it at the .opening of the session had been $>)ocke<j by Senator Williams (Democrat) of Mississippi. Senator Williams was absent from the seAate when Senator McCumber presented the measure for the second titne but came ihto the chamber a minutes afterwards. The bill automatically went to the senate calendar. In attempting to offer the bill soon after the senate met at 11 a. m., today Senator McCumber said that "in the ver^ near future I hope to be able .to lay aside the tariff bill for a day or. so for the purpose of considering and passing, if possible the compensation bill." Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader, said if it was proposed to pass the bill at this session it might as well be considered now as in July or August. "I should be very glad," he said, "if the bill went over until after the elections so that the American people might have an opportunity to voice their sentiments on the subject." "Senator Underwood said he felt "that the bouns bill, if passed, will not work injury to the men whom it proposes to help." He estimated th' bill would cost anywhere from $4 000,000,000 to $7,000,000,000, and said it was drawn in such a way that it would have to' be paid for in the future and thus would become a burden upon the former soldiers themselves. Informal canvasses of each side have indicated that the bonus legislation has a substantial majority in the senate but whether the amended house bill will be approved is probematicul. In any event a long fight or the measure is expected. Before undertaking to present the bill to the senajte, Chairman McCumber made public both its text and the accompanying report from the finance committee. The report estimated tb^t the total cost of the legislaover a period of 43 years from next January 1, when the legislation would become operative. This total is $250,000,000 less that the estimate under the house bill. To Demonstrate Fire Truck This Afternoon The fire boys will demonstrate the new fire truck this afternoon at G o'clock.

The desperate people are eating human beings, diseased horses, dogs and cats, he said. Cemeteries are being dug up and long-bund bodies snatched as food. In their hunger madness the population are stealing bodies from morgues and hospitals to eat as food. Mr. Shafroth, who had charge o" 20.000 Russians working for the relief administration in the Samara district, is lean and emaciated after his arduous work among the starving, dying and shelterless Russians. But he gave ample proof that the famine sufferers did not try to seize him for culinary purposes, as had been reported while he was in Russia. He do clared, however, that a Russian member of the American relief administration who died of typhus, was disinterred at nifht and eaten by the i 1 t,.'i x iia^a mriauiiants. i ms grave rise to the report that Mr. Shafroth had been devoured. In some respects.the youngr A merman's narrative is unequalled even by he tragic pictures in Daniel Defoe's journal of the plague year. "I know one instance," said Shafroth, "where a distracted mother of five children killed the youngest in order to appease the pangs of tinrest of her youngsters, but the oldest a boy, cried bitterly when he saw his mother sever his little brother's head and place the body into a pot. lie refused to eat the flesh." In spite of those lamentable conditions in isolated districts, Mr. Shafroth said, the general situation throughout Russia has been greatly ameliorated as a result of the charity enterprise of the American people. The health, moral and spirit of the population wore much better, he said, since the American relief administratfelLarriyed ten months ago. *-holy name -in -Russia ana Americans are regarded as superbeings," said Mr. Shafroth. "P?ople fall on their knees and kiss the earth upon which the relief workers walk. The Unitde States can have a solemn feeling of pride in saving the Russian race from extinction." Mr. Shafroth said he believed the soviet government with all its faults have come to stay. Death of a Little Child Helen, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
