Governor Northon's Letter.
"There will be a meeting of the Bust
ness Men's Gospel Union at the Wes
ley Memorial church, corner Auburn
avenue and Ivy street, Tuesday eve
nlng, at 7:90 o’clock.
"We are anxious to Increase the
membership of the union from the
ranks of Christian men who are will
tng to help the community to better
Christian living, and to aid in the sal
vation of the unsaved. We desire also
to broaden our activities through an
auxiliary organization, to be composed
of the active Christian women of the
city.
"Persons who will Join us are ask
cd to give names, street addresses and
church at the Tuesday evening meet
ing, or by post. It It Is not possible
for them to be present at that time.
"Reports will be made by the several
committees covering the results of the
recent Torrey- Alexander mission. All
of the officers for the ensuing year will
be elected, and the gospel union will
be entirely reorganized.
"The main business to be considered
will be the conservation of whnt we
have gained and tho planning for an
uninterrupted campaign against evil,
looking to the strengthening of the
spiritual life of the churches and the
salvation of men from the penalty and
from the power of sin.
■There Is always more or less of a
decline In religious activity after a
revival, dependent upon the Interest
and efforts of the Christian community,
This we must prevent In this Instance
as far as it la possible, with God’s
help. We may be sure the devil Is go-
Ins to be far more active and com
plete, and his attacks are made and
conducted on thoroughly systematic
plans. He does personal work more
thoroughly and far more effectively
than we can withstand without God's
power to help. He not only works
personally, but through his agents and
representatives among the thousands
of men and women who .are in his
active service and employ. He never
Sleeps. His long continued activity has
made him more than an adept in the
Interests of His kingdom.

Chicago, June 5.—Political agents of
John R. Walah, it' Is reported toduy,
are endeavoring to mollify Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw In his demand that
the Chicago banks must get rid of
Walsh’s depreciated paper at once and
make up the deficit of the wrecked
Chicago National Bank.
This demand Is said to have been
made by Secretary Shaw last Friday in
consequence of alarm felt by the treas
ury department over the depreciation
In traction securities and other Insti
tutions of the Walsh failure as the
central knot. Secretary Shaw’s request
to the clearing house committor
coupled with a hint that he would oth
erwise have to order some of the di
rectors to make good on the loan.
Following Mr. Shaw's visit an
tempt was made to form a syndicate
which would take over the Walsh- se
curities and also advance money
complete the railroads which they rep
resent. So far th© attempt has not
been successful.
The situation has heroine acute
That the developments are serious Is
manifest because of the friendship be
tween Shaw and Walsh and which
woutd probable prevent any federal
action not dictated by absolute neces
sities of the situation.
