A GREAT AWAKENING.
INTEREST AT THE FINAL GENERAL
MEETING OF MIR. YAIMAN.
what Has Been Accomplished
Lately.

The Honolulu Y. NJ. c. A. hall
never had such a crowd in it as was
there last night 1t was packed
full Of men and women who came
to hear Evangelist Yatman give his
last general address on "The Path
way Of Life. Not only was the
hall densely crowded, but also
there was present a greater than
man'-the influence OF the Holy
Spirit was nightly felt both in the
hearts Of the Christians and the uu-
converted. At the close of the
meeting about one hundred and
thirty went into the inquiry room.
Men and women kept going
in mp TO the very close OF
the meeting, and even
after the audience was dismissed
some fingered who were hungry at
heart for the Christ and these too
found Him to the Joy of their
soul. Last night closed nearly
four weeks work for Mr.. Yatman in
Honolulu -Four weeks never to
be forgotten in their influence not
only in Honolulu and Hawaii. but
widening out TO many lands.
Mr. Natman began his work here
under some difficulties; but full Of
the Spirit of God-and determined
to leave no stone unturned that
might aid in bringing men to
knowledge Of the truth aud a per.
sonal acquaintance with Jesus
Christ He has worked tirelessly,
tactlully and prayerfully and as
Ia result with wonderful sue
cess. Honolulu has had a spirit
ual awakening - much need
ed-that will produce great per
manent results. Nearly two hun
dred students from Punahou, Ka-
mehameha boys and girls schools |
and Kawaiahao Seminary have
made public confession of Christ as 4
their personal Savior; while sec. es |
ofmothers, fathers and young people |
have come out for Christ in the Y. |
NJ. c. A. hall services. Ii is not |
only in the numbers converted to |
God but also in the greatly in |
creased spirituality visible in the |
lives Of those belonging to the |
churches, that the good has come. !
The Christians Of Honolulu have |
been taught that Jesus Christ is not |
confined to any one method, church |
or class Of people, but that in any |
place, at any time, men of any class |
may be lifted up into the Christ life |
aud spirit. There will be many more |
Christians in Honolulu after this |
who will rejoice over the salvation
OF souls, by any means, which God |
sees fit to honor, and on account of |
the uplifting, broadening influence
OF the Holy Spirit as He has been
out-powered upon the people |
through Mr.. Yatmans words and |
life while here. God has answered
and houored the many prayers that
have gone up to him for this city.
Long after Mr.. Yatman has left
us to carry the Gospel of The Son of
Mary, who was the Son of God"
around the world, men and women
in Honolulu will thank God for
sending among us His tried and
trusted messenger in the person of
Rev. c. II. Yatman. OF the Y. NJ.
{. A. workers who have had the
of the meetings, too
much praise cannot be given to the
secretary, Mr.. d. w. Cor
bett; and the chairman of the De-
committee, Mr.. A. B. Wood;
the president, Mr.. F. ]. Lowrey,
and many others who have LOYALTY
and truly stood by the work that is
dear to the heart of every genuine
chrlstian-the salvation of men
from sin to God. Honolulu will
never be able to pay the debt which
it owes Mr.. Yatman for his labor of
love, but it will never forget him;
nor cease to pray that he may long
continue to be mighty champion
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
