On the north side the children will
gather at the big tent and take the car
at Gordon and Kansas avenue, on the
east side they will probably assemble
at the Third Presbyterian church,

at the central meeting point at 3
| o clock. The address VIII take place
shortly after that time
The newspapers can take credit for
establishing DR. Chapman in his career
as evangelist. By reading a newspa-
per account in the Albany papers of 4
Moody revival DIR. Chapman who was
then pastor of a small church in upper
New York was induced to enter in
/ upon career as an evangelist. 'tI
/ don't think that has ever been related
to anyone before said DR. Evans
pastor of the First Methodist church
DIR. Chapman told it to me himself
/ quite inadvertently during a cOnversa-
/ ton last evening I think that is quite
| a creditable achievement of the news
papers because DR.. Chapman is rec
| Ognized today as the foremost evan
gelist of the world.
This Is Their Busy Day.
| This is a mighty busy day for the re-
/ Vival forces. There is going to be a
I marshalling OF SOrces such has never
/ yet been seen. All OF these who have
! been in attendance upon the district
! mass meetings over the city will assem-
/ bic at the Auditorium shortly after 9:I5
/ this evening. From the Auditorium this
great gathering Of people will march
over to the corner of Sixth and Kansas
/ avenues where a brieE street service
viii be held followed by a service at 1G.
o'clock in the Crawford opera house.
1 A street service CS this character and
magnitude is something unique in the
religious history of the town.
The real work of the day commenced
at 2:45 this afternoon when the women
met to attend the wOmen's prayer meet
| ing in the First Presbyterian church.
At $3.50, at the same place, a mass meet
men, was led by DR.. Chapman. why
| Our Prayers Are Not Answered is the
subject chosen for the address.
At 7:30 o'clock DR.. Chapman win pre-
side over the usual Auditorium meeting.
DR.. Toy will be in charge on the east
side at the Third Christian church. Dr.
! OstrOm viii lead the forces in the Cen
trail Congregational church in the south
west district. while on the north side
the usual evening services viii be held
by DR.. Frank Granstaff at the tent. At
9:15 promptly these services viii be con
cluded and those in attendance will ad-
journ to assemble at the Auditorium
AS soon as all have arrived a the AI-
ditorium the congregation will march
in a body to Sixth and Kansas avenue.
the place chosen for the street service.
Dr. Chapman will devote about half an
hour to this service.
The after meeting tonight VIII be held
in the Crawford opera house at 10
o'clock and viii be in charge of DR..
Henry Ostrom.
BY holding a street service such as is
outlined it is hoped to cater to the needs
of those who are found on the streets
at that hour and who could not other
wise be induced to attend the district
meetings. The plan has worked to a
? hattering degree &C success in other
cities and it is trusted that results will
attend the effort which is to be put
forth here.
Last Nights Meeting.
'.There is peace and comfort on the
other side" said DR.. Wilbur F. Chap
man last evening to some $500 people
in the Auditorium. He was speaking
of the Christians death: Meeting oul
II friends in heaven" would you know
D how the Christian dies2' he continued
2 you will find it by reading in youl
Bible. There is nothing hard about it
- Simply crossing the river in the boat
and over to the other side God is with
you all the time. He is with you tC
