It was a colored revival service in
the East Side bottoms. Excitement was
; waxmg high, 'mere was a group
around the mourners' bench. In the
rear of the room were seated two prom,
inent Topeka ministers and a new-spa
per reporter.
i The colored parson recognized Dr. K.
L. Loveland among the group of visit
ors, but the question uppermost in the
! mind of the "reverend gentleman" was
whether or net the other fellows had
been sanctified.
The Rev. Robert Gordon was ap
proached by the man officiating at the
meeting.
"Brother, have you been sanctified?"
he asked.
"I think so that is according to my
understanding of the term," was the
reply.
"When were you sanctified?" was a
second direct question put to the pastor
of the First Baptist church of Topeka.
"At the time I was converted."
Then for five minutes the visiting
clergyman who was not recognized by
the colored "divine" listened to a dis
course on hov- i was an impossibility
to be sanctified at the time of conver
sion. The lattf held that sanctifica
tion must necessarily come at a later
stage of Christian experience. His at
tempt to bring Rev. Mr. Gordon to the
mourner's bench was without avail.
Then the reporter was questioned in
the same manner by the negro
preacher. He didn't have a particularly
clear idea of what the term "sancti
fied" meant as used by the colored
man, and as he was not prepared to go
up front to the mourners' bench, he in
timated that he believed that he had
gone through the process of sanctifica-
tion. The minister looked aggrieved be.
caus the newspaper man in question
would not go to the mourners' bench
to pray for the unsanctified.
Then the revivalist went up to the
other member of the party, and said:
"I'm glad to see you Dr. Loveland. I'm
glad you brought these men here, and
I hope you'll drop in again."
"Thank you," said Dr. Loveland.
"Brother, you have a great work here.
Here's a dollar to help you," and at that
moment an animatedly benign expres
sion came over the face of the colored
Darson. The three visitors left the
room.
This is the way it all came about
The party of three were returning home
via Crane street from a visit to the
neighborhood of the Santa Fe shops,
when a wail that made night hideous
I was heard. It was evid tly a woman
' who was shouting, and it sounded
though she were saying hysterically
"He'a killing me: he's killing- me." The
Rev. Mr. Gordon remarked subsequent
ly that he had visions about that time
of being called to the police court as
a witness to a tragedy.
When the party approached the small
frame building from which the sounds
were issuing forth it was evident
enough that the woman was crying out
"Hallelujah, hallelujah." and that after
all no crime was being committed. Then
some one in a deep bass voice shouted
out, "Amen." It was plain that a re
vival was in progress and that's the
explanation.
A number of those present in the
audience possessed voices of unusual
quality. The singing- of typical negro
revival chants was carried on with enthusiasm.

VEXING QUESTION
the Matter of
Charge Against Bowser.
i:
ETcryfiofly Read the State JonrnaJ
Does the mere fact that a husband
and father neglects to pay for the pro
visions he ordert for his wife and chil
dren constitute non-support? If the
provisions are in the house, whether
paid for or charged to the husband's
account, isn't the family "supported?"
Isn't a summer-time provider entitled
to some consideration even if he falls
down on the job of paying for the gro
ceries in the winter?
These are only a few of the questions
which are to be decided in the case of
C. D. Bowser, brought into the probate
court on the charge of contributing to
the delinquency of three children. Judge
W. F. Schoch has taken the case under
advisement until Deo. 81, meanwhile or
dering Bowser to pay $25 to the sup
port of his family.
There isn t any particular complaint
against Bowser in the summer. He's
a pretty good hustler it seems, although
he is a little slow, according to Mrs.
Bowser's testimony, about buying
clothing for the children. But Mrs.
Bowser's mother and Mrs. Bowser do
this, so why should a man worry about
it? But Bowser works in the summer
and gets some money. .
In the winter, however, it's another '
story. The examples of Grant and Lin
coln, as well as the gentle persuasion
of his wife fail to move him from the
fire. He has a fondness for a well
heated room that is remarkable. The
fact that the grocery bill is unpaid and
the children may need things doesn't
drive him forth into a cruel and chilly
world. Hence Mrs. Bowser's action in
the probate court.
The defense introduced evidence for
the purpose of showing that Bowser
did buy groceries and then the real
story behind the case was made public.
He didn't pay for the groceries ordered
in the winter, his wife doing seven
washings a week to keep in the good
graces of the grocer. Now the court
must decide whether or not a husband
must pay for the groceries he orders
before he is considered to be support
ing his wife.
Mrs. Bowser admitted her husband
didn't beat her any more. There was
a time, she admitted when he had done
so. At present she admits that when
she knocked him from his chair to a
seat on the floor he didn't say a word
or offer any resistance.
"He knew better." Mrs. Bowser ad
vised the court and attorneys.
Bowser and his attorney established
the fact that there were 15 bushels of
potatoes and 5 bushels of apples in the
cellar at the time the warrant for
Bowser's arrest was Issued. But Bow
ser hadn't paid for them, nor for other
provisions in the house.
There are three Bowser children, two
boys and a girl. The oldest child la
14 years old. J
