erty Notes.
UNIVERSITY, Jan. 2S. - The revival
services, which have been held nightly
for the past two weeks in University
M. E. church, have been productive OF
much good. Interest in the work OF
saving souls for the kingdom of Christ
has been growing as the meetings pro-
crossed. The past week has witnessed
much concern on the part of the stu
dents of the university for their souls
welfare. On last Monday evening Pres
ident j. P. Widney of the university
preached, followed on Tuesday evening
by an exhortation by Dean Matthew.
Wednesday evening was occupied by a
sermon by the pastor, DIR. Williams.
Rev. ]. S. Kline helped forward the
good cause by religious talk Thursday
evening. Harry F. Ward, the boy
preacher, spoke at Friday nights SER
vice. The meetings will be continued
during each night OF next week, and it
is felt that, through the medium of
these services the whole community will
receive spiritual uplift. Outside speak
ers will aid in the work.
Last Thursday was spent by the uni
versity students here, in common with
their fellows the world over, as a.day OF

ers from the faculty and students ad-
dressed the meetings, and the students
spent quiet day in calm religious
thought. There we're no Rotations
