lately has been printed in more than a
million of copies and Mr.. Alexander
sang it into monograph that re-
cords might be duplicated and sold
everywhere. At the close of the re-
vival in Melbourne, as the trains
moved away, twelve distinct groups
could be heard at once, all singing
the "Glory Song". ''The Kings
Business" has had as wonderful sue
cess in the recent meetings i'm Mime
apolis.
1t is pleasure 10 know that Pro-
lessor Holden, (whose picture is pre-
sented to the readers of the Tribune
with that of Rev. G. G. Smith, will be
here and lead chorus singing. He is
we'll known as Christian, a me nber
Of the Methodist church, man who
sings, not as machine, but with
spiritual power, singer who wins
many to Christ. MIR. Holden has
relatives in Morris. Much space
might be filled with accounts of his
success in sacred mnsic. Prof. Sobey
is collecting chorus of sixty voices.
They will use the pipe organ, two
pianos, violins, mandolins and all
sorts of musical instruments. The
singer who can have the direction of
Prof. Holden in such a chorus will be
fortunate.
The entire evangelical element of
Morris and vicinity will unite in these
meetings. Each church appoints a
committee and the work is arranged
between them. Congregational,
Methodist, one Lutheran, German
M. E., Presbyterians, Baptists, Nor
wegian Mission are in touch with this

sharing in the good work, but not yet
represented by committee, please
arrange Immediately.

to "a, O9s, 16o,69.
The business of the road shows a con-
siderable increase and the taxes show

tax amounting to S115, 016.13.

line OF plain, intelligent, logical rea-
soning. which has led over four hum

did this great throng OF people come
TO hear? Was it sensation? Far
from it. A kind loving talk and soul
