THE DENNIS REVEALS.

The Methodist church was filed TO
overlooking last night by large and
earnest crowd of people who turned out
to hear Miss Dennis in the fifth OF a SER
les of revival meetings. which will be
continued during the week. The even
iEg's service was opened with song
service by a choir Of well trained voices
including a quartette. and a solo by Mr..
Lyman, all Of which was thoroughly en-
joyed by those present
Miss Dennis took for her text. words
from the 5.th chapter of Isiah: There
is eternity and in conclusion said in
part as follows: II take this book of
God and / open at the first verse of the
lst chapter and there l read that God
created the heavens and earth in the
beginning of that which we call time. In
the last of this chapter I read that time
shall be no more, and if time shall be
no more it Is where eternity begins and
eternity last always. Go out into the
night and count the stars that appear
in the heavens and multiply them again
and again and the result Will not give
you one fractional part of eternity.
Count the sands of our shores If you will
and when YOU have finished your ardu-
Gus task as long as 1t may take you,
eternity would be but well beginning.
The human mind is incapable of conceiv-
ing that boundless sometime which Is
called eternity. and somewhere in that
boundless chase your soul and my soul
must find an existence. Every soul that
comes into this life effects an eternity,
and we should all ask ourselves, Where,
oh where, am l going to spend my eter-
nity?' Time is pressing, eternity is
daWning, and we should ask ourselves
il we have prepared to meet the King" "
The speaker here divided her congre-
cation into two classes, stating that 1t
was safe to assume in the large audi
ence that both would be represented.
'.!he first she said. Consists of those
who profess not to believe in God at all
ard some of them will say so earnestly,
but no matter how earnestly they may
say it. 1 would not believe them" She
then related instances that came before
her during missionary work that salts
fed her mind that every man believed
| in God and church. but some We're 10th
to confess it.
1.-The second class" continued Miss
| Dennis. Consists of those who were once
| members of a church and had peace with
| God, but no longer possessed that peace
and. are drawing farther away from God
and the church day by day" Miss Den
| mis- then appealed to them to let their
4 minds recall for a few moments the
| pleasure that God gave to them when
! they We're at peace with Him and were
! possessed of christian spirit.
God invites you to come back she
| said, land if you will come God will re-
member your sins no more. Now will you
| turn your face again to God and be
| received into His love and salvation!
Let your mind run out across that end
less time and think where you will spend
your eternity. You must spend it some
| where, shall it be in hell or heaven?"
At the close of her address a large
number went to the altar in response tC
Der invitation to come forward and get
better acquainted with God. and receive
, His blessing.
The service was brought to a close
with song and prayer. Miss Dennis ex.
| tended an invitation to all those who
wished to become better christians and
nearer to God to remain and attend the
| after-service. which was held and de.
voted to prayer. About half the congre-
agtion remained.
A meeting will he held tonight at the
church at $50 o'clock.
