the y. z. church, Tuesday evening. Rev.
b. s. Taylor having arrived on the Rock
Island train 10 the afternoon. He WAS
somewhat fatigued, having preached
three hours at Topeka, on Monday night,
and riding part Of the night and day; but
the evangelist conducted lively meeting
Tuesday night until 10 O'Clock. Elder
Taylor has = fiuency Of speech that 10 re-
markable. He has vigor in bis tone of
voice aud force 10 his utterance that
brings conviction and awakens an Inter
est. lie 10 clean shaven gentleman of
clerical figure, and about so years Of age.
He has colloQuial manner Of speaking,
and some of his utterances are more
forcible than pleasing. They are all con-
viucing.
After prayer and singing. the evange-
list arose, and said let US look to God for
deliverance. Stand still and see the
power Of God. He asked the congrega-
ton to take part in every meeting. You
are going to take part in this revival or
you will hinder it. You must all engage
in the work. He asked each one to stand
up aud pray. All prayed at once in
solemn voice.
He chose the text from Malachi $40,
''B'ing ye all the tithes into the store
house that there may be meat in mine
house." etc. This was bic urgent srlici-
tation. frequently expressed to bring in
all the meat. etc. The Lord dares you to
bring 10 I'll the tithes. How can We have
revival?-by bringing in all the tithss.
Yoa need revival bad enough. you
need it God will give it.
Mr.. Taylor made some homely talk,
and unique expressions, and kept his au-
great humor. He likened some
peoples religion to q nusty. greasy YES
sci with bad spot that needed soldering.
In soldering you scrape off the mended
place clean. You need the scraping off
Of the must, crust, etc., AID lie had
brought his eclaper ana was ready to
scrape it of If it took off the hide.
He spoke of the l2O disciples who were
first sanctified. They were sanctified re.
gardless Of the balance Of the people.
YOn will draw crowd II you get filled,
he said. People will come and get saliva
ton if there is meat in the house. The
reason we do not invite sinners here is
because there is nothing for them bore.
He had seen people converted who did
not attecd the meeting until after they
were converted. They were working III
the field. We had met in tent, and held
. meeting, but the Holy Ghost possessed
hose men and they came in.
Get hold of God. He had never seen
bunch Of christians sauctifisd, but that
ot of sinners were converted. II you
to the altar, you will find more
sinners there than tho converted. Come
Up, II you have anything between you.

He said churches were not all united,
Ind he related some Of the peculiarities

Ter and whines, and Mr.. Taylor made |

II any of you get in the way, God will

trance to the meeting. He had never
net town but that had knots in it-not
/ straight plank. But he was used to
knocking out the knots.
All any evangelist can tell you is that
,Ou must get hole Of God. Nothing
strikes conviction on sinners so fOrcibly
Is to see lot of people sanctifi,d.
God wants your soul to be spout for
prayer.
May be your sancti6cation has got
Get something fresh. II you
nave got musty. crusty, dusty, sancti6ca-
lion. ask God to make you fresh. The
reason. brethren, We do not get IN more
sinners is because they see We are small
potatoes and few In a hill. WheC you
complain Of your preacher you think you
have religion-it is nothing but the liver
Last night, owing to the cold weather.
The attendance at the church was not
large, but the interest was greater than
on the previous night. Elder Taylor

the First and Second Kings. He said the
