A Great Throng at the Mills Meeting Last
 Night-Many Begin the New Llfe.
 The Grand avenue Congregational church was packed last evening to lis ten to the great evangelist, Rev. B. Fay Mills. Following the service of song prayer was offered by Rev. J, Lee Mitchell, pastor of the church. MT. Mills took for his text these words; "Is it nothing to you?"
 He said in part:
 "This text is whole sermon in it. self, Is 1t nothing to you that you are a sinner? There are some who make a mock of sin. If we are going to dwell in the presence of the Holy God, it is time that we heard the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare to meet thy God
 "Would you dare to go into eternity with the seeds of evil that are now in your breast? We know that sin is an awful and an increasing thing unless it be checked. Is it nothing to you?
 70, thank God for this mighty de- liverance from sin. The mighty moral power which you have not used is wait ing to be turned on you tonight. All the infinite sources of divine power are waiting tonight to help you.
 "A revival is the best gift to man. About the only time that grown man gets through into the Kingdom of God is in the time of revival It is not only the time for men to become Chris tians, but it is time for you all to be- come Christians. Jesus of Nazareth is passing by so near that you can almost hear the sweeping of His garments. Is it nothing to you that this may be the last opportunity you will ever have to hear the call? Certainly there will be a last time on earth.
 "What is God going to do? Has He another Son to hang on the cross? My brother if you do nto accept the call tonight fear you never will. Does it not grow harder and harder for men tc enter the Kingdom of God the longer they wait? Indeed it does Every mo- ment you turn away from God the less time you have for returning. Is it noth- ing to you?"
 In response to the invitation to those who wished prayers a great number arose. An after-meeting, which was held in the lecture room of the church was largely attended and many gave their hearts to Christ. In the neigh borhood of fifty cards were returned signed by converts. Up to the present time at all meetings about one hundred cards have been returned to the execu- live committee. These cards will be given to the different pastors named therein and the work will be carried on afte1. the close of the special meet ings.
