Edltor of the PLANET:
I hpve been thlnking over the work
of Evangelist C. H. Phllllps. Cer
taliily the publlc wllllngly pronounees
him a most remarkable man In that
line of work. They wlll also con
the fact of his nsefulness an 1
Kreat success that have attended him
throughout thia great country. TMnk
of the great work that has aa rereat
ly been done ln our fair city! Over
(1000) one thourand aouls rejoloint;
in their salvation and he havinp been
used as an instrument ln Ooo s hands
for their salvation.
Doea the public know that thla Dr.
Phllllps is a man of very humble clr
cumstances In this world'a goorta*
Do the people know that Dr. Phll?
llps is pastor of one little chureh at
Brtaver Dam. for which he has pre*>ch
ed for many long years at a verv
small salary? And do the peopl a
know that when a man beoomes an
Evangelist tha' he is generally looked
upon as being auitei for that work
only? He therefore becomes evcry
body's proaeher.
Dr. Phllllps. aa I have aald. la a
man of humble meane and It s*?ems
to me that Richmond and the frlen *a
ahrnad could r>ot do a more arracefni
aet than to ralse a hsndaome purse
of money for thla 0?V-sent man, so
that In case health breaka down. fea
would not suffer or be turned out of
doors.
It will be rememherei that B'leh
men as Moody, Blfss. Sankey, Ssm
Jores and mny others engaged In
evangellatic work were aajajad for ?.v
thelr host of frlenda ln that. fnn ls
were raised for them to protect them
in the hour cf need.
Will not the friends of this work
in some formal tangible way make
lt a auccesa?

SOMEWHAH down thar round Hodgenvilla, KaJntatrtky,

Was born a boy ye wouldn' though t waa lucky;
Looked like he never wouldn' have a show.

That boy was started middlin' well, I'm thinada'. l
His name? W'y, it waa Abraham?Abe Lincoln.
PORE whitea hia folks wtat Yea, as pore as aa*f.

Belonged right down among the hnmble many,
And no more property than doga ot eat*.

As good a way as any for a itartin .
Abe Lincoln, he rig middlin' high, for aaxtint
SOMEHOW I've alwaya had a aort o' anesJdB'
Idee that peddygreea is purty much
Like monkeys' taila?so long they're apt to weakea

JL BE LINCOLN never had no reg'lax achoolia*;
J %. He never quarterbacked nor pnlled atroke oar,
Nor never spent his time and money foolin'
With buried langwidgea and ancient lore.
But * ? ? Abe l'arned more
To set hlm forrerd in the hnman filin'
Than all the college feilei*' kit and biliat*.
ABE LINCOLN never did git hifalutin?
Not even thar in WashJn'ton, D. C.
