 The Doors Locked and People l

 The Trinity M. E. revival yesterday was continued with the same feryor and religious zeal In the morning Dr. Nc Chesney preached sermon of telling power and effect, drawing his thoughts and applications from the story of Ana nias and Saphira. MT. Harrison was present, also, and when the sermon was over rose and made some enthusiastic comments upon the doctors effort. The church was crowded full and many went to the altar. One lady was so overcome that she tainted and had to be carried out.
 THE AFTERNOON SERVICE.
 The afternoon service yesterday was characterized by the same large attendance that has been present during the entire revival. Not only was the standing room all taken, but a few minutes past 8 o'clock the doors were locked and many left out side awaiting 8 chance for admission. For seat it is necessary that one comes early. An opening prayer by the pastor, Dr. McChesney, gave evidence to what an extent the spirit of the revival has taken hold upon the assembled mu1titudes. As the pastor began to wax more and more eloquent in his appeals for grace and salvation he was frequently interrupted with calls of ssLord, hear!" ftHelp me, dear Lord," etc. At the con- clusion followed a-hymn, during which collection was taken, which was literally remembered, for the purpose of carrying on the revival pr. McC Chesney announced that he did not know when these services would end-he hoped never-but in all probability meetings would be held the same as usual during the coming week. The pastor said he hoped this fire which had been kindled by the revival would continue growing and spreading until the last fragment of sin in New Haven was consumed.
 Mir. Harrison offered brief prayer pre- paratory to his sermon, which he preach ed from the text, Matthew, 3.I7. The in domitable little worker seems not at all exhausted after his long siege against the bulwarks of religious indifference. He was yesterday in all his old time form of nervous and excitable energy. As Q preacher Mir. Harrison is certainly origi- nal. His style answers to no known pre- scribed rules of oratory or elocution, nor would any one of his discourses, put in print, arouse much admiration as liter aIy production, for it would indeed be a remarkable collection of fragmentary ex- clamations, but the same uttered by their originator, carry an influence of no mean power.
 There are few men with more power full or striking personality than has the boy preacher Among the other stories that he related was that of his good old Metho- | dist ancestors, dating back to the time of Charles Wesley, on both his mothers and | fathers sides. come from good stock, | you see, he said. But, he continued, this l is entirely an undenominational revival, though he showed that he thought Metho- dism was to be preferred. The Episcopa- Hans, Baptists or Congregationalists can all go away happy with received salvation. He cried out loudly for baptism of fire. He thought he had better route to para disc than through purgatorial fire.
 There are some ministers, not like Dr..
 McChesney, who don't believe in revival We'll, they are half dead, anyway, he said,
 and preach to congregations similarly af-
 fected. Once a week they preach to slim
 congregations, half of whom are asleep and
 the other half wishing they could.
 What does this baptism of fire do. It
 makes triumphant death and glorious
 life, he said, accompanying the utterance
 with clap, clap, clap with his hands in
 he suddenly exclaimed, give us
 this baptism of fire right now
 Amen! was shrieked out by some
 excited member of the congregation loud
 enough to be heard half block away
 When the revivalist asked all to rise who
 felt sure they were converted nearly thu
 entire congregation rose up in body.

 were cleared and speedily filled with thos'
 seeking conversion. It was good exam
 pie for showing to what an extent religious
 excitement will affect body of peopl'
 when led on by remarkably strong mag
 netic personality.
 VOTED TO CONTINUE THE MEETINGS IN DEFINITELY.
 At the young peoples meeting at 6:3 was & large number of people characterized } by the usual solemnity. Many ther sought God.
 Throngs were gathered about the door 3 waiting until the doors would open, an r | in five minutes after the doors wer | opened the large audience room wa : crowded. Crowds were turned away This shows that the awakening demand 3 more than can be done in this place, so tn : evangelist rejoices in the fact that othe - churches are arranging to have evangelist - come to New Haven. His highest hope f are approaching realization. Many peopl were made happy in Christ during the day
 At meeting at which there was goo a representation of enthusiastic and conss q crated members it was voted unanimousl a to invite MT. Harrison to continue th t work while such outpourings of the spiri r continue.
