The revival In progress at Asbury
M. Il. Church, corner Srd and Walnut
streets, was attended with power last
night. A large audience occupied the
main floor of the auditorium, and
showed great interest In the proceed
ings. The outlook is most promising,
and 1t is solely for the members of the
church TO determine whether or not
there shall be 100 conversions this
spring. Every member should be at
his post, and invite his unconverted
neighbors to the meetings.
Last evening from 7.30 toS, Mr.. John
s. Connolly conducted a very pleasant
song service, after which the Rev. A..
s. Mowbrey, of Newport, preached
from i. Cor. V-20. "Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though
God did beseeeh you by US : we pray
you in Chri5t's stead, be ye reeonciled.'
The message given to this ambassador
was SO plainly and solemnly set before
the people, that every rebeliious one
saw the great need OF this reconcllia-
tiOn.
Mr.. Mowbrey Is clear and forceful
expounder of the truth. He has IN
easy and graceful manner. O clear and
pleasant voice, and an impressive
and earnest delivery. He made q
most pleasant impression at Asbury.
The Newport church is to be congratu,
lated that it has secured such val
liable man as Its pastor. Four persons
came to the altar, and others rose for
prayers. Two OF the penitents were
converted. Many others were deeply
thoughtful.
This evening from 7.30 to O'Clock
the song service will be in charge oil
Mr.. james L. Mckay, and the Rev. L.
Pauls NJ. E. Church, will preach. An
earnest invitation Is extended to all
Christian workers to help in this
revival, and the unconverted, especial
ly those not in the habit OF attending
church, will be cordially welcomed. !

A delegation of the short term, make.
you-rich Inside of a year orders, visited
Dover yesterday, for the purpose of
protesting against the passage OF the
Fook's insurance bill. which would
wipe all OF them out of existence with
IN fortnight. AS no legislation is
needed In reference to this matter, IL
Is scarcely probable that the bill will
ever BIO taken up. 80 that the trouble
and expense OF visiting Dover might
have been saved.
The majority of these short term or
ders were chartered in New Jersey. and
as the highest legal authorities OF that
State have declared them Illegal and
asked for their revocation, 1t Is only a
question of very short time before
they will all be extinct. Six or eight oil
them have already failed In Philadel,
phia, and their dupes find themselves
many dollars out OF pocket.
Iron Hall, the first order of this kind
in existence, takes seven years to pay
their beneficiaries, and has never failed
In its obligations. 1t Is reliable, but
persons can beware of these two three
six months or one year orders.
