Services at the First Methodist
Last Night.
Mr.. CRITTENTON'S TALK.
AN EARNEST ADDRESS, BUT THE
CONVERTS WE'RE FEW.
The Entire Congregation Arose to
Ask For Prayers or to Have
Friend Prayed For-The Meetings
to Be Conducted By the EvangeI-
lists Today.

The revival meeting conducted at
the First NJ. E. church last evening by
Evangelist Crittenton was not as large
ly attended as as the meeting of the
night previous although the church
was well flied and the services were
very impressive. The singing led by
Frank Wallace, the soloist who ac-
companies Colonel Crittenton's party,
was feature of the service which
added much impreSsiveness to the fer
vent words OF the millionaire ex-
FOUNDER Of Christ's teachings.
Colonel Crittenton took his subject
from Genesis, third chapter, ninth
verse: "And the Lord God called unto
Adam and said unto him, where art
thou?'
The speaker put the question to his
listeners and leaving them to ponder
over the question, he proceeded to
draw many vivid pictures of real life
experiences in which unbelieVers had
been brought to a realization of the
error of their ways. Colonel Critten-
ton is a forceful and feeling speak
er whose words seem to carry
conviction to his hearers. When
he had finished this was evidenced. He
asked again, Where art thou?" and
desired those wishing prayers or who
wished a friend to be prayer for, to
arise. The large congregation respond
ed by rising almost in a body.
The converts last evening were not
as many as on the previous night, but
the earnestness of the evangelist is
obviously having its effect and the
thus far held justify the
prediction that ere the stay of Colonel
party is ended, church cir
cles in Salt Lake will have been stirred
as they have not been for many day
Union meetings will be con-
Quoted by the evangelists today
as follows: In the morning at
the First Baptist church and Phillips
Congregational churches, in the after
noon at the First Presbyterian for wo-
men only. at the Y. NJ. C. A. rooms
for men and a meeting will be held at
in the evening at the First
NJ. E. and the First Congregational
churches.
