Their UnsPaFfng Criticisms Cause . Sensation and rhe Resignation Of 8 Faster.
 GLENs FALLS, N. Y., Feb. 1S.-Two revi- va11sts named Mclean and Wills have been holding meetings here for the past six weeks and have stirred up great deal of excite ment in religious circles. Their unsparing criticisms upon ordinary methods of preaching have caused the pastors much annoyance. Yesterday Rev. G. L.. Collyer of the Methodist church read his resignation at service, saying it had been in- timated that he was standing in the way of the 450 converts said to have been made by the revivalists, and he would do 50 no longer. The official board met tonight and asked him to reconsider his action, and he will probably comply.
 The revivalists came here at the invitation of Rev. c. M. Wooten of the Friends church, but MT. Wootens congregation do not ap- prove their work as they belong to the Ohio conference and are out of their bailiwick here. There is a bad feeling all around and it is feared that any good results that might have resulted from the zealous labors of the visitors will be neutralized through the strife aroused by their methods.
