THE CHAPMAN REVIVAL.
An Unusual Religious DcmOnsfrn-
tion in Calvary Baptist Church.

Not since the days of the revival meet
ings conducted in Washington several
years ago by Dwight l.. Moody has there
been religious demonstration equal 10
that OF last evening when the first of the
series Of evangelistic meetings to be held
by the Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, Pastor
of Bethel Church, Philadelphia, occurred
in the Calvary Baptist Church The church
edifice was crowded to its capacity
Mr.. Chapman came to the city upon the
invitation of the pastors of the local
churches and nothing could have been
more appropriate than that the music for
the occasion should be rendered by an
immense choir composed of many local
choirs, which was under the direction of
p. l.. Zimmerman, of the Mount Vernon
Place NJ. E. Church.
On the roStTum were Rev Samuel H
! Greene, Pastor Of the Calvary Church:
| Rev. Asa A. Fiske, of Canton Temple
Memorial; Rev. A. ". PitZer, of the Cen
tTal Presbyterian Church: Rev. F. B. Bag

Mr.. Chapman.
dience by the Rev. DR.. Greene who briefly
stated his mission TO the city, and said
he hoped that the truths uttered by the
speaker would bring an everlasting rest
ing place in their hearts
The Rev. Mr.. Chapman took for his text
the words of David, No man cared for
my SOUL He spoke of the number of
souls which are lost simply because no
one had ever asked them to. come to
Christ. He also spoke of the efforts of
men to acquire worldly goods, but who
having attained them die before they are
able to enjoy them. This, he said. is
beautifully illustrated by the thought that
it were better for a man to lose the whole
world than his soul, expressed in the
words. what shall it profit a man to gain
the whole world and lose his own soul?''
AT the close of the sermon nearly 100
of those present signified their desire to
be prayed for During the evening sMr
Smythe sung "I'll go Where You Want
Me to Co. in splendid voice, the united
choir joining in the chorus.
