The Revival Meetings.

Rev. Andrew j. MacM urtry began re-
vival meetings in the Presbyterian
church Wednesday evening of last week.
Good audiences have attended his
preaching, and good impression has
been made upon those who have heard
him. He is not professional revival
list, with the sensational methods of
many such, but has been, until recent.
ly, pastor with evangeistic gifts,
whom the Assembly's committee pressed
into this work. His sermons are point.
ed and logical, calculated to carry the
judgment of his hearers to his conclu.
sions as he reaches them. Meetings are
held every evening except Saturday,
with three services on the Sabbath.
Next Sunday afternoon Mr.. MacMurtry
will speak to men only on the subject,
"Moody VS.. lngersol; or, Christianity VS..
Infdelity." A good audience of men
was present last Sabbath and it is hoped
that as many more will be present to
hear this address. During next week
there will be addresses to the young
people in the afternoon at the close of
school, illustrated with stereopticon
views. Announcements will be made
Sunday morning and evening.

Great difficulty is experienced in clear

No wonder catarrh causes headache,

pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-

To cure catarrh, treatment must be
