THE DENNIS REVIVAL.

A fair-sized audience greeted Mis-
Dennis in the revival meeting held at
the Methodist church last night. The
sermon was preceded by a half-hour's
earnest prayer, and the meeting proved
to be satisfactory and encouraging
one to Miss Dennis.
She took her text words from the
first line of Ephesians, VIC, 'Quench
not the spirit" and spoke very ably for
aa hour, pleading earnestly with her
congregation to give their souls to God
while the opportunity was offered, stat
ing that procrastination was certain
death, and that they knew not that
they would live tomorrow to be moved
by the spirit of righteousness.
There is an awful struggle going on
in this life every day. said Miss Den
mis-, "between the spirit of good and
the spirit of evil. the spirit of God and
the spirit of satan, and the battlefield
is our souls. There are battles won
and lost every day, and it is FOR you
to decide whose victor you will be.
II know that the holy spirit is doing
his work here tonight, and that many
precious souls will be saved from ever
lasting darkness this very night by
kneeling at this altar and Offering up
your souls to God I cannot tell you
what means the holy spirit is using to
work upon your heart 1t may be that
it comes in a great ringing voice. or
it may be that it comes with a still,
small voice, telling you of your need
of the Savior. Oh, I plead with you,
in whatever way He speaks to you,
heed His voice; throw not deaf ear
to His pleadings.
''You are running an awful risk, and
running out to where that spirit will
not speak to your heart, and you are
running out to where you will not
again be moved by this grand spirit.
My friends. when you say in answer
to the spirit, not tonight, you are
dropping down to endless darkness and
despair. When man will sit in his
seat and say that he does not feel like
being Christian, he is simply 'Quench-
ing the holy spirit In not receiving the
holy spirit you are turning away from
His voice, until you will soon not be
able to hear His voice, and your heart
is cold and Indifferent. God help you
tonight; you are breaking the command
that is given you in the holy scriptures,
'Quench not the holy spirit
And, therefore, I say if there is the
faintest spark of desire in your hearts
to be saved tonight. let not that tiny
spark die out. 1 plead with you to-
night to do something to save that
soul. Do you know that tonight the
holy spirit may take that everlasting
light from your soul and you are lost
to everlasting despair So do not
thoughtlessly turn away from God,
Oh. God help you tonight to see what
it means. Oh, it is an awful thing to
say no to the spirit of God, and it NAV
be that if you say no tonight
it may be that you will
never say no again. There is one who
watches closely between the good and
evil in your soul and tonight is asking
you to choose salvation, oh, will you not
heed it? Tonight satan Is holding siege
on your heart. he wants that you shall
be his slave throughout the endless
worlds of eternity, blu. oh, there is one
coming to your help tonight who knows
that satan has laid siege to your heart
and knows that to yield this siege to sat
an and your soul will drag on through
eternity. But choose God the one who
has never lost q battle, and if you will
