 These words express the spirit of the revivalists. Rev. E. F. Hendricks and that fine singer A. L. Carter, who at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, are swaying their audiences with the eloquence and power of their sermons, and the exquitise ] elody of their songs, These words were spoken last night by. Mir. Hendricks.
 Two sermons yesterday, morning and evening. and half hour of song ser vice before each sermon, marked the days work But they will inaugurate another service today. They will go to those who canot so easily come to them. They will go out and with their message of salvation and song Of praise, carry the gospel Into the house of business, into the markets of trade and into the shops of the busy mechan- ic At the moo. hour today the two evanrelists will hold a service at the factory of Steiner. Lobnian and Frank wrere they will preach to the more than 200 women and girls who make up the working force of that establish ment. Mir. Hendricks will preach and Mir Carter will sing.
 Tomorrow at noon, the evangelists will hold a service at the Western Rail

 At the 10 o'clock service yesterday MT Hendricks preached to large con gregation nthe subject of Revival"
 At the night service he took for his text, second Samuel. K. And David said, is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul that may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
 In his sermon he dwelt on the forgiv- ing spirit of David in dealing with his enemies ''Kindness.' he said, "is fruit of the spirit and in this act of David we see revealed the workings of the Holy Spirit"
 David. he said did not possess the spirit of "get even. that is so prevalent among people, but he possessed the spir- if of forgiveness that should be that Of every Christian, man and woman. He said that he wanted especially to i'm press the thought that David showed a great kindness to man who could do nothing for him in return, for the object of his kindness was wretch cdly poor, crippled and dwarfed man who could never return anything TOT the kindness shown.
 Another thought the Evangelist emphasized in this connection was that the time to show a fellow human Kindness is while he is living to ap- preciate it, not to say the good things after he is dead-the things that prob ably had they been said to him in life might have given him courage and strength to struggle on and perhaps win.
 MT. Hendricks said men failed to say good things to their wives for fear they might get the "big head" and would not say kind and encouraging things to people generally, fearing to spoil them. while in reality the power for good of a cheering word to those struggling in a conflict or a hand held out to a needy one cannot be estimated. He said that the dwarf In his crip- pied condition, represented sin in all fits hideousness and that the poor wretch was not saved because of him self or because of David's love for him but for the sake of Jonathan, the man whom David loved. Just so the sim ner is saved for the sake of the Fa- ther's love for His Son. He was saved for the sake of another, and every blessing that is enjoyed is sent to the sinner for Christ's sake.
 We thank God this evening for the blessings of salvation that comes to us for Jesus sake" were his concluding words.
 To request that those who wanted the prayers of Gods people bow their heads, a number responded and two people were received into the church by the pastor, Rev. W. M Crawford.
 There will be the 10 o'clock service this morning at the church and the 8 o'clock service at night
