 The following is the address issued Jointly by the pastors of the Tempe churches to the people of Tempe and vicinity:
 'As another year, the last of the nineteenth century, is at our door, we beg to unitedly address you and that you will give this paper careful con- sideration.
 First, we desire to express our sin cere sorrow that we have not been more faithful and effective as minis ters among you. We humble ourselves before God and pray that He will graciously forgive our sins and grant us anew His holy spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord. We would dedicate ourselves anew to His service, and pray that with pure hearts and divine wisdom we may with you seek the Lord and find Him gracious We hear His voice saying: Sow in righteous ness, reap in mercy: break up your fallow ground. for it is time to seek the Lord until He come and rain right ecusness upon you
 We deem it meet and right that special religious services be held dur ing the first four weeks of the new year.
 From January to at the Metho- dist Episcopal church.
 From January to 13 at the Con gregational church.
 From January 14 to 20 at the Meth odist Episcopal church, south.
 From January 21 to 27 at the Bap- tist church.
 During these four weeks we ask and urge that religious interests have chief attention in this community, every one cheerfully giving time and sacrificing if need be comfort to sus- tain and make effective these meet ings. Let every one give honest atten- tion to his spiritual condition and seek the mercy and approval of God. If rational We are responsible; let us all then be honest in examining ourselves. The year 1900 will surely be notable and ought to be notably religious. We believe the awakening will be general: but let us. at least locally truly and earnestly repent of our sins. and seek to know and to do the will of God. If any have been unduly given to busi- ness or pleasure; if any have fallen into ways of wickedness or habits of intemperance, let such seek the Lord with all their hearts and find in Jesus salvation from sin. We eXhort Chris tians and non-Christians, church go- CTS and non-church goers. to join us in honestly seeking better lives.
 Remember, the first of these union services will be held at the eMthodist Episcopal church Sunday evening" De- cember 31. Let all the people come and help make the work real and gen eral.
