THE REvIvALIsT AT WORK.
Crowds Attend the Meetings at the
Trinity M. e. Church to Witness
the Work of ssBoy Preaeher'' Harri-
sOn-The Afternoons Great Revival.
"Boy Preacher" Harrison is conducting
. great revival at Trinity M. E. church and
the pastor, Rev. Dr.. McChesney, seems to
be thrilled with the same religious excite
ment which stimulates the work of the re-
yivalist. Crowds of people attend the |
meetings at the church, many through |
curiosity and many more through genuine |
religious intent.
The peculiar characteristics of the "Boy
preacher" continue to keep the attention
of his congregations. He jumps around
as lively as cricket, and prayer follows
hymn and hymn follows exhortations in a
startlingly rapid manner. He breaches no
sermon, but continues rattling fire against
unbelief and procrastination throughout
the service.
Yesterday afternoon was one given to an
elaborate celebration of the revival by
song. The large chorus choir was kept
singing all through the service. The at
tendance filed the church. Some 100 con-
verts were brought to the altar during the
afternoon. The revivalist allows no sur
cease of interest.
Young peoples meeting at 6:30 tonight,
he cried almost before the last note of the
hymn had been sung. None come but
young people unless you have religion.

He slapped his hands and at the same
instant led the choir off upon another
hymn.
People drop in here just to see what is
going on he shouted at the end of the first
verse That's the way we get men to come
to God. They come in the next night and
the next and the next and finally they are
saved. Last verse of this hymn, 40.

The choir began the hymn.

He endeavored to raise the excitement
to it's highest pitch. About fifty came to
the altar and knelt.
I'm going up the aisle and you tell me
who shall speak to, he cried, as the choir
finished the third verse.
DR.. McChesney and the evangelist
rushed up the aisle, taking whoever they
met by the hand and asking them to come
to the altar.
Hymn A was sung, the evangelist
punctuating every line with cries of Comet
Come! The audience sat down.
A hundred and fifteen, he exclaimed.
We want more. There's a woman with
tears in her eyes. There's another brush

The singing began again and DR.. Nc

How do you do, he exclaimed, grasping
the reporters hand from the paper. Glad

The reporter gently declined and was
left i peace with the remark that he
would have plenty to report before 10
O'Clock.
The evangelist in the meantime was
rushing back and forth across the altal
singing and exhortings converts. The
choir stopped for moments breath and
two interested old gentlemen in the con
gregation began anew in their old-time ac

The chancel rail was surrounded by con
