Remainder Of the Week.
BY reason Of serious indisposition
affecting his voice, IL became neces-
sary for Evangelist ID. W. Potter To
seek rest the latter part of the week
but il is feared by his most intimate
friends that his most active days Ia
the evangelistic work are nearing an
end as the loss OF his voice will pre-
clude further speaking.
E. +; Miller, the singing evangelist,
however, will remain in Salem and
conduct meetings during the remain
der Of this week. In Sundays ser
services Mr.. Miller proved himself
thoroughly competent to conduct SER
vices in the capacity Of speaker as we'll
as TO maintain the reputation be has
earned as an eminent singer.
At clock Sunday afternoon a
mass meeting for men only, was held
at the First Presbyterian and a rOus-
ing meeting, charged with intense
interest aud attended by splendid re-
suits was had. The church was filled
TO overflOwing and very impressive
services were conducted.
Hundreds were turned away from
the First Methodist church, Sunday
evening by reason of the inadequate
seating capacity of this the largest
structure in the city to accommodate
the crowd. At an informal conference
OF the ministers upon the rostrun it
was decided to hold an overflow meet
ing in the Sunday school room Of the
church. This meeting was presided
over by Revs. Kantner, Pratt and
Evans, and was frought with intense
interest.
Evangelist Millers's singing was
even better than ever. The accom-
pllshed singer sang Father, Steer for
Me" and "Wtll 1t Be Too Late" with
sweet expression.
The evangelist spoke on the great
danger OF procrastination, as particu-
larly relating to the saying Of ones
soul. 1.-The idea that there will be a
better time to become Christian is
manufactured by satan himself" said
the evangelist. at is utterly impos-
sible for a man to drift into Christian
ity. He must make some effort on his
part II men would seek God with
the same effort they are seeking gold
in the Klondike, they would surely
find Him. Death bed confessions in
variably amount TO nothing, especially
when the convert is restored to his
former health"
Following the discourse by Mr.. Mil
Ter an after meeting was held with
gratifying results.
