Miss Jennie smith Keeping Up the Work
with Great Yigor.


Jennie Smith continued her eVangelis-
tic work in this city yesterday, As
usual with her, the work was Of an ear
nest, prayeriul nature, such as cannot
fail to be productive Of good results,
Each day that she Is here she Is beCom-
ing better known and her work more APP
.preciated. It 10 evident that in a ten days
engagement Miss Smith will not be able
to accomplish as much as ought 10 be
done here, She is doing q wonderful
work, but the field 10 80 large that 1t cam
not be gone over in go short q period.
Arrangements should be made at once to
have her remain here at least ten days
longer. There is need Of her efforts here,
The morning meeting at the Fourth
Street church yesterday was not largely
attended, but was very earnest and help
full, At noon Miss Smith visited the
Niagara engine house and held q prayer
service. She was very kindly received
and the men present seemed gratiied at
this attention. One Of them expressed
what Is no doubt a feeling among many OF
them, that they are neglected aud forgot
ten, except when needed for service by
the Christian people oil Wheeling, Miss
Smith is pointing out practical lines OF re-
liglous effort which ought to be followed
out by others,
The afternoon meeting was quite large
and very interesting. Numbers were
present iIom the surrounding towns and
the discussion Of the subject Of personal
work, was carried on In q spirit which
showed how deeply these meetings are
affecting the people. Every M seemed
to realize that there Is need Of individual
growth and effort,
The fruits OF the days work were seen
in the evening, The house was crowded
and q meeting Of great power was held.
Miss Smith spoke npon the parable Of
the Ten Virgins" and enforced its teach
ing OF the danger Of delay In accepting
Christ, with much force, Numbers were
at the altar in the course oil the service,
nearly all Of whom protesssd conversion,
One man came up at the close Of the
service and asked the privilege Of sign
Ing the pledge. The religious interest il
rapidly growing and already these meet
ings have done great good.
To-day at 10 o'clock Miss Smith will
hold q service in the Second ward market
house. There ought to be a throng to
hear this earnest talker. AT 5 o'clock a
special service will be held in the Fourth
Street NJ. Il. Church, on behalf Of the
young men Of the city, The members Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
have been invited 10 be present and take
part, and no doubt will do so as far as
possible. All young men, and all inter.
ested in the young men are asked to attend
this service. The questions proposed for
discussion are such as these; "What are
the dangers to which young men are ex'
posed ?" "Why are they not in our
