DEATH PIT TO STAY SEALED

ANOTHER GRESFORD

INSPECTION

Wrexham, Mar. 1. Representatives of the owners of the Gresford Colliery to-day again refused to allow the miners' representatives to enter the Den- nis section of the mine contain- ing the bodies of 255 men who Jost their lives in the disaster of September, 1934.

fought miners' representatives strenuously but vainly to overconte the opinion of an expert that the section was still too dangerous to ropan.

Throughout the day, about 30 widows and other relatives of the lost miners walted in the bitter cold -at the pithead for the owners' declalon, and demanded either that the men's bodies should be recover- ed or the mine closed entirely. At one time an unpleasant demonstra- tion appeared likely, but after the women had been addressed by the miners representatives, they dis- persed quietly,

I was only one of more than 4,000 who had seen and listened to Almes McPherson, the former woman ovangelist and hot gospeller, in the Angelus Temple that night; one of 2,500 who had filed through her drawing-room to see a close-up and exchange a word with her.

Choir Of 200

Angelus Temple, in California, is like only a quarter-section of the Albert Hall. The audience or congregation if she likes-is- fan-shaped, facing a raised stage.

A 60-piece brass band in front of the stage strikes up a Souan March, during which lantern slides exhort the faithful, to do business with the tradesmen who advertise in "The Crusader" and "The Bridal Call," Aimeo's newB- papers.

Then the lights go up, men ushers in orange and purplo capes swiftly up and down the aisles. A choir of 200 men and girls in Puritan costumes make their way along runways to the space in front of the stage, while the band plays another march. The screen rises, disclosing a tinsel stage setting of the Holy City, which Aimee has lately visited. A spotlight reaches out and pleks up Aimee herself, frames her in its beam.
