away from Market hal last evening,
unable to gain admittance to the closing
Jubilee meeting of the Munhall series of
revival services. Seats were placed in
every available space in the hall and
many people stood up in the rear of the
hall. After singing by the choir, Dr..
Munhall said that he had greatly ell
joyed his visit to st. Paul. Il have
never,'' he said, 'seen ministers work
toget her better than they do here III
this city. AS to what has been done,
eternity alone will tell. There have
been not far from 1000 professions of
faith, and 1850 have handed in their
names, Signifying an intention to join
some church. Of these, $40 have eX-
pressed a preference for the Methodist
church, 353 the Presbyterian, 1S6 the
Baptist, 103 Congregationalist, 81
Lutheran, 53 EpiScopalian. 10 Catholic,
SO to other churches, and 20 have eX-
pressed no preference.
One hundred and thirty-seven per-
sons have sent in their names to unite
with the House of Hope church; the
Central Park Methodist Episcopal
church has received $50 names; the
First Baptist, 81: the Central PreSbyte-

rian, 81; the First Methodist, 81; the
Pacific Congregational. "a; the Good
rich Avenue Presbyterian church, 80,
and many others have received over 20
names.
But the hardest work is yet to be
done. You must get these converts
into the church; about POO have already
affiliated with the churches and we
hope that all the rest will. In just the
proportion that the churches have la
bored in this work, in just that proper
ton will they be benefited.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY.
81 thank the pastors for their aid. and
may the Lord abundantly bless you. l
also want to thank the business men on
the executive committee, who have
aided so literally in sustaining
this labor. They have laid up
for themselves treasures in heaven.
And l want to thank the choir. 1t
beats the angels, know. May you keep
on in the work. further want to thank
the newspapers, particularly the GLOBE
and Press, and l hope they'll keep on
until they see that such a meeting is a
better thing for St Paul than the base
ball games. The newspapers have
spoken very well about me; they
couldn't help it, because I'm a good
fellow. l thank the OrganistS and the
janitUr, and if there's anybody else
who hasn't been thanked, but who
ought to be, l want to thank them
thousand times, and if that isn't
enough I'll make it eleven hundred.
God bless you ALL

seen such a glorious revival before in
my life.
