Are YOU saved?"

Are you saved?"
This is the question so frequently
asked by Miss Jennie Smith, the Evan
gelist' OF all with whom she comes in
contact. And not few she wins to the
fold. -Four more sought the Lord last
night On the night previous six &C
cepted the faith, making total Of one
hundred and thirteen souls saved since
the revival began at the Fourth Street
Methodist Church. For some reason
or other the original plan to hold the
services in the main part of the church
was changed, and the basement was
again open to all corners, and there
were many of them. OF course many
seeing the dense crowd and unable
TO gain any point OF vantage LETT i'm
medlately upon arriving at the church.
The vestry was packed as was also the
ante-roomS and entryway. After
prayer and few hymns, Miss Smith
mounted the platform and proceeded to
give vent TO a stirring appeal. She
commenced by saying that fourteen
years ago to-day / was lying sick in
hospital in Pennsylvania, and fourteen
years ago to-day, Rev. Philip Brooks
came in my room and offered spiritual
advice, and from that time dates the
beginning Of my EvangeliStic career.
Tonight see the value Of the immortal
soul in every human being. No one is
fully prepared to live until he is pre-
pared To die. ! want TO live so that
when | am in Heaven l will still help
the people there. You should all be
saved at once. Don't let Satan have
another day. Life IS short. Don't say
l am just going to get ready to die;
get ready to live; the dying hour will
take care of itself.
Miss Smith then showed the great DOW
or Of the hand-Shake, the friendly,
brOtherly hand-Shake, and how much IL
often means for those who are out in
the cold, following up the idea by recit-
ing several instances that happened
during revival at Chattanooga when
DR.. Riker was presiding over the church
there, instances which the reverend
gentleman readily recalled. AS result
Of those revivals at Chattanooga she
had since met three Of the saved ones
In Baltimore and New York where they
are now located. She had talked with
them and they were pro-
fuse in their blessings Of the
day they first saw the light.
She gave brief resume of the various
conversions she had witnessed, and how
in many cases, persons felt themselves
inStinctively drawn TO the fold who had
not been inside of a church for ten
years, and who had frequently remark
ed that they never could be made TO
Join the Methodist faith.
Miss Smith also spoke of her expert
enceS in railroad trains, where she has
been mostly engaged, and gave a short
outline of her trip 10 the Moundsyille
Penitentiary At the conclusion of her
address DR.. Riker took charge and Wig
orouSly led some spirited singing. Inter
spersed with the hymns came brief ex-
hortationS TO the sinners to join the
throng. Miss Smith goes to Cincinnati
to-day to assist in the big revival now
going on there. The following is copy
