Methodist Week of PRAYER.

1t has hitherto been the custom for the Meth
odist churches of the city to unite in the OBJ
servance of the week of prayer, but that will
not be done this year. At Roberts Park Church
the very interesting and successful meetings
under the charge of Mrs. L. O. Robinson will
be continued every night during the week, and
it is probable they will be given somewhat of a
direction toward the special subjects suggested
by the Evangelical Alliance. At Central avenue
meetings will begin on Tuesday night. tonight
b ing given to session of the official
board. Tomorrow night Capt. E. F.
Ritter will have charge of the meeting;
on Wednesday night DIR. E. S. Elder; on
Thursday night the topic of Missions will be
considered. and Mr.. Ritter will conduct the
Sunday school lesson for the next Sabbath, and
on Friday night Rev. Mr.. Jordan will have
charge of the meeting All the meetings will
be under the general supervision of Rev A. W.
Lamport, the pastor, but it is hoped to give ad-
ditional interest to the services by the division
Of labor.
At Meridan-street Church services will begin
to-morrow night, addressed by Judge Morrow on
Wednesday night, addressed by William Bosom;
on Thurday night, addressed by DR.. Gilbert, and
on Friday night by Mr. G. w. Smith.
