Revival Services.

Our churches have entered upon the
fifth week of united effort for the saliva
ton of souls None besides members of
the church manifested marked interest
the first week but during each succeeding
week, 4, 26 and % respectively did by
expressing a desire to become christians.
In spite of bad weather the attendance
has increased at both afternoon and even
tionable methods of work have been
adopted, and earnest. prayers together
with the truth as it is in Jesus Christ, fol
lowed by personal invitations have been
the only weapons by which God has given
the victory. 1t is safe to say that there
is not a street, shop, or factory of any
size that is not covered by the prayers of
Gods people, and only those who keep
away and shut out thoughts Of eternity
from their minds remain unconcerncd
about their eternal welfare. Last Sunday
evening the mass meeting was held at the
Baptist church which was packed to over
flowing with an audience which remained
for two hours and half in close atten-
ton. The Pastors conduct the meetings
in turn and will hold them the rest of the
week as follows: Wednesday and Thurs
day at the High st. church, Friday at the
Baptist church and Saturday at the Con-
