 At the First M. E. church Sunday school yesterday afternoon Rsv. MT. ThuTston, the revivalist, gave an address to the children. He preached in the evening at a revival ser vice. The revival services at this church continue this week also. They have been quite numerously attended and Q number of conversions have been made. Rev. Mir. Thurston finishes his labors probably this week. He has been assisting MT. Buck for several weeks.
 Rev. Dr. Todd preached at the Church of the Redeemer morning and afternoon yeseer- day. In his morning sermon he spoke of science and it's revelations as not in conflict with the spiritual and unseen and as not conflicting with the Christian faith and hope. Large congregations for the weather were in attendance.
 The cold and the snow fall failed to deter but few of the usual congregation at North church from attending divine service yester- day. A deep interest pervaded the meetings.
 The singing. prayer, hymns and sermon received close attention. ''None of us hveth to himself and no man dieth to himsslf'' (Ro- mans, xix, ? were the words of the text.

He showed very clearly that not only those who are eminent and gifted attain high stations and have great re- sponsibilities but every one has an 1mpor- tant place in life, of constant influence over others.
