The Special Meetings.

Special religious services are now be-
ing conducted at the Green by Rev. Ralph
Gillian, who is so well known in this sec
ton, having labored in the towns and
cities throughout this section and in this
county for more than a year past. Sum
| day morning the meeting was held in the
| Methodist church where an audience of
| 200 listened attentively to the preacher,
who dealt with the subject of Genuine
| REVEALS" 1t was a most remarkable
service throughout. At $50 large att
dience came again to hear Mr.. Gillian
preach and Mrs. Don c. Stiles of St.
| Johnsbury sing. Mrs. Stiles has splen-
did voice and uses it with good effect.
She is we'll liked by Danville people, who
in large numbers are good judges of mu-
sic. Atseven o clock Mr.. Gillian preached
on the subject of prayer, and at the close
a second service was held, and to the
surprise of some nearly every member of
the large congregation remained. 1t
was most delightful day, for the two
churches united in the work and the pas
tors sincerely trust that the entire COM
munity may be blessed as result of
these services. There is a service every
day at $50 and one again at 7.30. All
are cordially welcome to one and all OF
these meetings. A large chorus choir led
by one of the leading physicians and ably
assisted by an excellent organist, helped to
make the evening service an interesting
one. 1t is sincerely hoped by the church
people here that young and old will avail
themselves of this gracious opportunity.
| There is also large corps of ushers who

they come in. Mr. Gillam's work is of
the highest order and none can say that
they have been tricked into doing any
thing they would afterwards be sorry
for.
