 The ol.s hall vas crowded with the lit tie ones, when at 8 o'clock MT Hendrick rose to speak. It is estimated that ther !, were over six hundred crowded into the small auditorium; children sitting three on a chair, and others lining the walls and the adjacent rooms and hall. Every minister in the city was present. and they all state that the meeting has never known an equal in Bessemer. Several special songs were rendered by the choir and little Miss Lucine Viskers sang a solo, At the end of the service seventy . five children made profession of faith.
 The womens' service this morning was well attended and again tonight crowds turned out. despite the cold and incle- ment weather. The town seems to be on fire. to use the evangelist's expression, with the spirit of the meeting.

 Tomorrow night Mr Hendrick will speak on "The Holy City" and the Rev. A. l.. Carter will sing the song by that name. All are urged to attend these meetings, as the evangelists will probably leave Saturday for Anniston.
