Sunday evening the revival services
at the Baptist church came to a close.
They have been conducted for the
past three weeks under the leader
ship of Mrs. c. f. Womeldorf, and
taking Into consideration the fact
that the weather has been anything
but favorable and an unusual amount
of sickness in the city, the meetings
have been very successful. Quite a
number have been converted during
the meetings, and were led to the
better life by the earnest sermons
and the teachings of the evangelist.
Mrs. Womeldorf is not at all sensa-
tional in her methods of presenting
religious subjects and she tells the
story in a clear, convincing manner.
SUNDAY night the church was crowded
beyond its capacity for seating and
a large number willingly stood
throughout the service. A large cho-
rus choir rendered some inspiring
music and the last service was a fit
ting close for those Of three weeks
duration. Tuesday morning Mrs.
Womeldorf left for Rapid City
to begin a series of rcviyals, and hel
many friends here will wish bel
great success in her work.
