YESTERDAYS MEL TIkGS.
Both Great Successes in Every
Respect.
Over Three Thousand Present at The
AIhambra Rink--A Large Night
Meeting T0-Oay's Farewell
Meetings.

Since Miss Jennie Smith arrived In the
city she has held a series OF meetings that
have stirred up deep religious ieehng
throughout the whole city, and has accom-
plished wonders in the way OF sowing seeo
that will result in grand harvest, and all
feel a deep regret at her departure, which
occurs tomorrow. Yesterday morning
Misses Smith aud Sherman held very
interesting meeting at the North Street Al |
f. church, which was we'll attended, much
good being done.
The meeting held at the Alhaubra
Palace rink yesterday afternoon was I'M
doubtedly the largest religious gathering
ever seen ia the city, over 5000 people BE-
inc present. Miss Smith and Miss Sher'
man both spoke in their earnest, forclo'e
vsys and an intense religious feeling was
apparent among the audience Many,
asked for prayer and quite number slgneo
the pledge. The meeting was grand
success.
A testimonial meeting was held at the
Capitol rink last evening from to I:50
o'clock, which was a very interesting and
highly effective service. The night meet
ing was also grand success, about l.5OO
or 900 being present. The two indets-
tirable workers both made telling remarks,
which were listened to with the protoundest
interest by the vast audience. The meet
ing was a glorious one and many were
brought into the fold, or will be through lis
influence.
FAREWELL MEETINGS TO DAY.
Miss Smith and Miss Sherman have de-
termined to remain in the city until Tues
day morning. The Capitol rink has been
secured for services to-day, during the
afternoon and evening. The afternoon
service, beginning at o'clock, will be a
} Temperance rally. The persons who
have Joined, or will join, the blue ribbon
league, are urged to be present and per.
feet the organization of this body and
make arrangements for future work. The
VIC. I. L. are also asked to be there in
force, as important matters are to be con-
sidered. This body appointed commit
tee to plan for carrying on out-ot door
meetings after Mics Smith is gone as far
as it seems possible to do 30. 1t Is hoped
some plan will be adopted oday by which
ell who ore interested in this noble form OF
Christian effort can be united in
carving it out. An invitation is
given 10 the Y NJ. c. A. to come
and take part in consultations and plans
Mics Smiths work contemplates union
of all religions workers in efforts TO save
the fallen. 1t is certainly a worthy idea,
and should be realized in this city. Let
there be great gathering this afternoon.
This evening there will be farewell meet
ing at the Capitol Rink 1t is not neces.
ssry to urge the people to come. The
place will certainly be througed. The
evening service begins at p. m.
Miss Smith, since her arrival here, some
thing over two weeks ago, has accom-
pished a vast amount of good, working
increasingly every day. Many converts
have been made and productive
seed firmly implanted in the
minds Of many more. All this work che
had done without remuneration, and it is
proposed TO raise purse and present 1t to
her, as a slight return fer the immeasura.
BILE good she hss accomplished in our
midsr. Whoever desires to contribute TO
the fund, and it is hoped thsre will be
many, should do 80 today They an hand
the amount to Mr.. John Bailie, corner Of
Twelfth aud Market streets. There should
be liberal response.
