Sin and satan will be fought to fin
ish in Mankato by Rev. DR.. Henry Os-
from and his band of evangelists who
will commence Il series of meetings here
on Wednesday evening, April %. The
meetings will be held in the Presbvteri-
an church and the Baptist church stimuli
taneously. Music will be furnished by
choirs made up of local talent. Rev. Os-
from is regarded as the strongest of the
Chapman group of evangelists. He is a
man of fine presence, deep thinker, a
good talker, but he does not resort to
sensationalism. He leaves good i'm
preston on his hearers and his converts
are to be found by the thousands all
over the land. A Syracuse newspaper
speaks as follows of the Ostrom meet
ings in that city:
I'm the person of the Rev. Henry Os-
from, d. d., the east district has been
favored with man of remarkable men.
tai powers, large personality, deep spirit
ually, and unique in the presentation of
the vital truths of the Gospel which
have arrested and compelled the atten-
ton of the people. DR.. Ostrom has prov
en- constant, pleasing surprise. He is
a preacher of rare power, an author of
repute and his style of preaching at once
wins the attention of thoughtful men
and women. DR.. Ostrum was associated
with DR.. Chapman through the Pacific
coast campaign, and during the Denver
meetings spoke in the Capitol Hill dis
trict and at Topeka, Kan, in Dr. Charles
NJ. SheldOn's church. After the Pacific
coast campaign DR.. Ostrom went to
Honolulu, Hawaii, where he conducted
a series of meetings for five weeks, and
i'll the mixed population of that new
territory he won his way to the hearts
and minds of the people.
"The evening meetings have been held
by him in the University Avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal church and the capacity
of the church has been taxed to its ut
most limit, with many overflow meet
ings. To say that the people have been
interested is only part of the truth.
They have been more than interested in
listening to this fascinating preacher;
they have been moved toward God and
i'm many life there has come a richer
and deeper experience in the things of
the Bible and larger concept of spirit
ual truth. and many hitherto unsaved
have been awakened to new life under
the preaching of this consecrated and
spirit filled man. With him the saliva
ton of souls is the paramount thing and
his earnest. impassioned appeals to sim
ners and church members to get right
with God have led many into the sweet
blessing of pardon and the knowledge of
redeeming love or to deeper consecra-
ton in the service of Almighty God.
"The afternoon services were held in
the East Genesee Presbyterian church
and from the first service in this part
of the district there was a continual in
crease in numbers and interest and the
last service which was held there, last
Friday afternoon, was most impressive.
From Syracuse DR.. OstrOm will 90 to
Worcester, Mass. to continue in the same
work which he has SO nobly carried on
here"
