BoWLEY GREEN'S FAREWELL
Months Campaign Closed Sunday
Results Gratifying to the Committee.

The closing services Of the union
evangelistic movement led by Rev
Bowley Green of Portland at the Opera
house Sunday afternoon and evening
were indeed the greatest meetings OF
the series and fittingly crowned the
work of the past month that has claim
ed 50 much Of the attention Of oul
churches and the general public of our
city. At each service on Sunday last
the Opera house was crowded to the
limit of its seating capacity and the
fine audience was very attentive and
reverent.
In summing up the results of this
campaign we find the feeling expressed
by the pastors and committee is one OF
complete harmony and unanimity in
warm praise for the wise and earnest
leadership of the evangelist. Indeed.
with the public as well, 10 word of
criticism is heard regarding the preach
ing. the methods or spirit of the work.
The results of the work. so far as can
be noted, are most gratifying. in that
the churches have been greatly bene-
fitted, many have publicly and private
ly prcfeSsed conversion, many more are
giving the subject of personal saliva
tinr serious consideration. and the
spirit rervadng the community is such
as to encourage the pastors and
churches to quietly continue the work
Of evangeliZation.
Sunday night Mr.. Green referred
feeIingly to the earnest and hearty sup
port Of the union committee and say
ing that only kindness and cooperation
had been accorded him in Augusta.

charge represents the Methodist, Bap-
tist. Free Baptist and Friends churches,
