The second Of the Crittenton revival
meetings In the Adams Avenue Armory
was held last night. The attendance
was not as large as at the preceding
and opening melting on Thursday eve
ming, but this was probably due in
part to the first pleasant night for sew
eral days and to the open-air concert
by Bauer's band.
About 400 persons were in the au-
dience, which did not. however quite
half fill the large hall, which has been
arranged to seat over 1000 persons.
The meeting was especially for young
people. They composed a majority OF
those present, ,and entered heartily
into the spirit of the service. Fifteen
minutes of congregational singing of
gospel songs, led by Mr.. Wallace, the
vocalist who accompanies Mr.. Critten-
ton, introduced the service proper and
as usual formed one of the more at
tractive features of the meeting.
Mr.. Crittenton assumed charge of
the service after the song period. He
first asked for quotations from the
Scripture and met with ready response
not only from the older persons pres
ent, but from many younger people
including boys and girls. AS on Thurs
day night, frequently several were on
their feet at once and repeating some
familiar passages. At times and when
some verse suggested a thought to him,
Mr.. Crittenton would himself quote a
passage or passages, and thus continue
the thought suggested to him.
OFFERED PRAYER.
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
was sung and prayer was offered by
Secretary r. w. Pearsall, of the Rail-
road branch of the Young Mems Chris
| tan association.
Mr., Crittenton then made the an
ncuncements of future meetings. This
| afternoon at o'clock there will be a
| children's meeting. While 1t will be
| particularly for the little folks, gen.
eral invitation has been extended to
fathers and mothers to attend as what
Mr.. Crittenton will have to say will
be in part directed to parents.
This evenings service ought to at
| tract a gathering that will fill every
seat in the armory for it will include
a recital by Mr.. Crittenton of the story
of his conservation to religious work
"Consecration" will be the topic of his
address, and it will be divided into
three parts: THE Command; the Pos
sibility: the How"
There will be three Sunday service!
as follows: Morning, Jackson Stree
Baptist church; afternoon, Providence
armory; evening, Elm Park church
TIE Providence armory meeting will
be union meeting. That at night II
Elm Park church will include de
scription of the Florence Mission Res
cue work. This recital by its promoter
| whu has been termed THE Merchan
Evangelist" will probably attract {
large audience.
Mr.. Crittenton stated that while mex
weeks meetings had not been fully ar
ranged, they would probably be held il
the armory Monday and Tuesday even
ings, while on Wednesday night fare
well service would take place at Elm
Park church.
