One of the results Of the Jones-Stuart
meetings was seen yesterday in the in
crease in attendance at most of the
churches generally, but especially at Grace
Methodist Chruch, where the pastor, Rev.
Osgood F. Cook, says the gathering was
the largest that he has had since his pas
aorate there's the same statement is made
by Rev. Bascom Anthony, pastor of the
Trinity Church; while Rev. ]. A. Smith
of the Epworth Methodist Church and
Rev. Ed. F. Cook of the Wesley Monu-
mental Church report their congregations
10 be among the largest ever seen in their
churches.
Unusually large congregations also are
reported Dy the other ministers who were
interested in the REVEALS, Rev. J. d. Jor-
dan OF the First Baptist Church, Rev.
William ?. McCorkle OF the First Presby
terrain, Rev W. A. Nisbet of the Second
Presbyterian. and Rev. d. s. Edenfield of
the Souths1de Baptist.
Not only were the congregations excep-
tionally large but in each case there
10 no
either through letters. or through other
channels, according to the custom of the
denomination.
Wesley Monumental heads the list with
thirty-seven applications for membership,
and the presentation of twelve letters of
membership, requesting fellowship in the
church. These were presented at the
morning service alone; a number of 9TH
ers were also received at night. The APP
plicants for membership will be put into
a class for instruction, and afterward will
be received INTO the church, the adults
probably June 10; the children later.
The pastor of Wesley Church alone re-
ceived through the agency of the recent
revival the names of seventy persons
who wished for advice and instruction
that will enable them TO lead better
life; it is thought that by far the great
majority of these persons will eventually
ally themselves with the church.
AT Trinity Church were received the
names of thirty-six applicants for mem
bership. These persons will be put in a
class and later taken into the church.
Besides this class of applicants ten per-
sons were received into the church at
the morning service. Rev. Anthony, too
TnnafweH he M pf a HEt
of persons that request advice. and it is
probable that many of these likewise will
be added to the class of applicants so
soon as the pastor shall be able to see
them.
Al Grace Church, Rev Osgood F. Cook
received into the church at the morning
service four members, and has formed a
class that will include, he expects, all of
the seventy persons that have made APP
plication 10 him for counsel that win en-
able them 10 lead a better life.
The Epworth Methodist Church received
eighteen acoessions to the ranks of its
membership, and it is more than likely
shat more will come in so soon as Rev.
J. A. Smith shall have seen all of those
that have expressed a wish for a confer
ence with him.
At the Second Presbyterian Church Rev.
W. A. Nisbet, at the morning service,
fession of Faith, and five upon presenta-
ton of letters. Rev. Nisbet, 600, has a
large list of those that have expressed
desire for a consultation, the majority
of whom, il is more than probable, viii
later make application for membership
At the First Presbyterian Church Rev,
MoCorkle received four members one al
the morning service, and three at night
He also will have class of about twenty
applicants for membership.
At the First Baptist Church Rev. Johr
d. Jordan received twelve applicants into
the church at the morning service, and al
night received two out of five applicants
Rev. Edenheld of the Southside Church
likewise received several additions to his
membership.
Even at the churches that were not af.
filiated with the revival, the congregations
were unusually good. At the Independent
Presbyterian Church ten persons were re.
ceived into membership. seven upon Con.
fession of Faith and three upon presenta-
tlon OF letter.
No accessions to membership as the re.
suit Of the revival Were reported by the
other churches. but as almost all of then
were selected by one or more of the pen.
itents as being the body with which they
wished to ally themselves. 1t is more thar
probabl that each will have a number OF
accessions TO report shortly.
