Last night the revival had triumph
in the mission that was its cradle.
Down at Mr.. Ryder's little chapel near
! the corner of South and Queen streets
the most impressive scenes of the cam
paign Were enacted. Men and women
of every color and race We're gathered
in the little room. Outside the sidewalk
was packed with other men and women.
The sound of waltz music f1oated down
! the street from the saloon few doors
away mingled with drunken shouts and
ribald laughter. Men reeled past the
doors muttering oaths beneath their
breath, the sound of music and dane
ing came from the upper windows of
the great tenement house-one of the
toughest places in the city. Yet down
in the little room, it's walls decorated
with colored notices and pictures, a

Christ
1t was a cosmopolitan audience that
greeted the campaigners at 7 o'clock
last night. 1t is doubtful whether more
cred in one room at any other mission |
in the world. The service was exceed |
ingly simple. There were a few hymns |
sung with a will, especially by the |
children. Mr.. Butler sang, compelling |
absolute silence and attention to his |
beautiful song. Then DR.. Ostrom arose /
and made plain heart-to- heart talk. /
He told them of the need of man for /
a personal Savior, that that need was |
satisfied in Jesus Christ, that he was |
ready and willing to save. At the |
cept him. Those who wished special |
prayers were also asked to signify the |
desire. Many came forward to confess
their faith in the Savior. There were |
old men with snow-white hair and |
feeble step, there was a woman who, |
with shining face said she would follow |
in His footsteps He gave her !
strength, there were boys and girls. |
Of he ~, he
raised their hands for prayers and sig
nified that they would like to turn over
a new leaf. The meeting concluded /
with the singing of ''At the Cross" and |
prayer. At the close a photographer |
took a hashlight of the congregation. |
AT PALAMA MISSION.
From the Kakaako Mission the cam /
paigners hurried across the city to Mr. |
Rath's mission at King and Liliha |
Streets PaIama. The chapel was filed |
with an audience almost as cosmopoi- !
tan as that at Kakaako. The service !
opened with song, Mr.. Hills leading |
in his usual inspiring manner. Mr.. |
Butler sang two solos. DR.. Ostrom's /
address was along the same line as |
that at Kakaako. He put the issue /
plainly and made most effective ap- |
peal for decisions on the right side. |
At the close of the address many, all !
young people, came to the front and |
announced their determination to lead |
Christian lives, praying together that /
they might be steadfast in their reso- !
luton.
Almost every child in the room raised |
his, hand when DR.. Ostrom asked how |
many would participate in Mondays |
Sunday School parade. The children
are enthusiastic over that feature and |
it promises to be a great success. The J
meeting was dismissed with the bene- |
diction pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Snod- |
grass.
