HI huSlueSS.
The revival meetings, which were begun
at Hamline NJ E. Church, Rev. Dr. f. S.
Todd, pastor, Sunday night last, by Evan
gelists Potter and Miller of Chicago, are
growing in interest, and last night the body
of the church was well filled with a most
attentive audience.
The meeting was in charge of Mr.. Potter.
who delivered an earnest sermon, following
which many persons presented themselves
at the altar as showing their desire to lead
new lives and their wish that those already
Christians should pray for them.
Mr.. Potter's sermon was largely compos-
ed of quotations from the Scriptures, which
he said he had found to contain words more
powerful than any that human lips could
frame.
He is a business man in Chicago and lay
man in one of the churches there, and in
some respects has a different way of con-
Quoting his meetings from most of the
evangelistS who have heretofore visited
Washington. At one time during the eXer-
cises after he had finished his sermon and
had appealed without result to the business
men present to come forward and assist in
saving souls, he told his audience in an i'm
passioned manner that ne had left pros
porous business in Chicago to come to
Washington for his love for the cause of
Christ and to rescue perlshing souls, and
that his colleague was equally interested
ought to be many in this city just as anX-
ious to work for the Master.
Personal Appeals.
These last remarks caused several persons
who had not before shown any special in
tcrest in the matter to get up from thei!
place in the church and go out among the
audience and make personal appeals to
those who said they were unconverted to
present themselves at the altar for praye"
The singing was marked feature of the
exercises. With the exception of several
solos by Evangelist Miller. the music was
rendered by large choir composed OF
young people of the church, and the hymns
announced being familiar TO nearly every
one present there was a general partic.pa-
ton in the singing.
Mr.. Miller, who possesses a fine baritone
voice, sang a number of solos with much
effect
Mr. Potter said, before closing the meet
ing, that several persons had professed cen
version, also that he had requested Mr.
Miller, who consented to do so, to sing The
Trundle Bed" at tonight's meeting, which
song he said, he believed had been the
means of many conversions.
