Toward the close of o revival meeting ia
Hartford on Tuesday night, MIR. Pentecost re-
quested the choir and audience to stand and sing

offered, and then all of the audience who desired
to 20 home were given an opportunity, but very
few went away. Quiet being restored, several
requests for prayer for themselves and others
were made by individuals, interspersed by the

The Rev. Dr. Sonneschein preaching recently
In st. Louis synagogue, remarked: The
UDitarians look to US to come over to them we
have certain pride In the hope OF bringing
them over to Us. Who will succeed / can not
say: but one thing is sure, that the religion OK

The Rev. NJ. d. Kinney Of Oswego, and
others, have purchased a controlling interest ia
the Thousand Island Park Association. The
Rev. John F. Dayan, of WATERFOWL, who has
been the secretary and chief manager from tho
beginning, will no longer be secretary. A. gen

l. s. Bingham. who is well known to the Mctho..
disls of Central and Northern New York, will
be at the head of the management.
At a recent prayer meeting in Ashfield, Mass,
