Augustus Religious Awakening.

Four weeks ago the Free Baptist,
Baptist, Congregationalist and Metho-
dist Episcopal church united to observe
the week of prayer. From the first
night the interest increased until it was
decided to continue the meetings the
second week, then for a third week,
and last night saw the end of the
fourth week of these services.
One of the unusual features of these
meetings is that the pastors have not
called in outside help. Again there is
none of the excitement that often
gathers about such meetings. Yet all
who come are deeply impressed by the
spirit of the service. Already many
have been converted and have publical-
" stated their determination to lead n
Christian life.
Beyond a question the meeting in the
chapel of the Methodist church, last
night, indicated Il great religious
awakening in this city. An audience
which completely filed the chapel list
ened to an earnest gospel sermon by
Rev. Everett Lesher. His subject was:
| THE Great Invitation" He showed
! that Christ alone could save the sinner:
| that all might come to Christ and find
1 pardon for sin and strength to lead a
\ Christian life. Three resolved to leave
Il all and follow Christ. The officials
and Sunday school teachers of the
church. all pledged themselves to de-
vote next week to this special work.
H "A great union service will be held in
the auditorium of Green Street Metho-
dist church. Sunday evening. Staples
Smith & Moody have kindly loaned an
4 organ which will be used at this SER
vice. chorus choir from all the
churches will sing.

RURAL DELIVERY
DEMAND FOR ITS EXTENSION IS
PHk:NOM
Over Twelve Thousand Applications
for Extensions Received in the
Past xix pected to BE Self.
Sustaining in Course OF a Few
Years.

Washington, Nov. 8.-The annual
gross cost of complete rural free de-
livery service throughout the United
States will approximate $24 ,000, 900,
according to the annual report which
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne has received from August w.
Machen, general superintendent of the
service. The remaining 700, 900 square
miles now covered by rural free delivery
service, according to the report, will re-
qui.e the employment OF 26. 600 or 27,-
900 carriers in addition to those now
employed, making the entire force of
carriers when the extension of the SER
vice is completed within the next three
years 40. 900. After this extension is
completed the annual rate of increase
in the appropriation is expected not to
exceed 8 or 9 per cent. OF the rate
maintained in the other branches of the
postal service. To extend the service
200 routes year until it becomes un-
iversal, the report says. will require such
largely increased appropriations that
the annual postoflice deficits for the en-
buIIlS tWO VI tlICO ySoio Will pnoooCiy
reach IS, O00. 900 or SIC, 0OO,O 900, if not
more but, once the service is complet-
cd, the additional revenue derived will
soon reduce the deficits to present fig
ures, if not entirely wipe them out.
During the year 100. l2,403 petit
lions for the service were filed, making
a total on July last of 22.646, which
exceeded by over 1000 the total num-
Der during the preceding four years.
Since July petitions received have aver
aged over 600 month. With the
amount required for routes TO begin
December fully 100 routes for which
there is no appropriation available.
This number probably will be increased
by January l to at least $500. Mr..
Wynne and Mr.. Machen say that to
comply with the demands of the people
and of members Of congress the depart
ment will require an additional appro.
priation; otherwise further establish
ment of the service will he deferred I'M
til July next.
