your paper" Oh, we rejoice that the Lord has fought and won such victorious battle in the hearts and minds of so many dear souls, and made them to feel they had a broader, brighter and more peace full life to live than they had ever realized in the past! Bless the Lord, o my soul, and all that is within me, bless His Holy name!
 But Oh, for whom our hearts and hands go out, are the grown up men and women. some of whom are the heads of families and have greater evil influence than they have ever thought. Oh, may they awaken to the awful manner in which they are casting their in- fiuences, for it will be as bread thrown upon the waters to return to your children.
 'sYe are the light of the world. A city that is set on hill cannot be hid" ;" That not only applies to one, but all people.
 Let you light so shine before men that they may see your good work, and glorify your father which is in heaven. These were Christ's own words.
 Dear soul, hasn't the winds of temptation tossed you to and fro in your frail ship on the boisterous sea long enough? You should not forget, any time you are tired of this, if you'll only implore Gods blessing and help, the wind of His mercy is ready to send you sailing on calm seas.
 Some may say "Oh the meeting has grown so exciting.o , Well, say, if you were sleeping sweetly on bed of down and the building in which you were, should catch on fire would you not thank your friends to give the alarm! Sup pose they gave the alarm and you insisted that you could sleep awhile longer, and so you do, desiring a little more rest-and yet 'tis not rest-alas! What do you expect in the end? SINCERNEss.

THE GREAT REVIVAL CONTINUES
l20 Additions to The Various Churches Was the Result Up
 to Wednesday Night

The revival meeting at the Methodist church continues with increased interest, and will go on until Sunday. The greatest diff culty encountered is the incapacity of the building to accomodate the vast throngs who gather to attend the services.
 A remarkable feature of the whole meeting is the perfect order maintained and the close attention of the entire congregations to the services. On frequent occasions the house has been literally packed and damned with people, every seat being taken, the isles stand- ing full and people standing on the outside around ever window, yet not the slightest disorder or mishehavior has occurred at any time.
 As stated last week, Pastor Jernigan has been run overo by the great power and sweep of the revival wave to such an extent that he has been unable to keep anything like an accurate count of the conversons, but they have probably reached 150 or 16O.
 There had been 11S additions to the Methodist church up to the close of the service Wednesday night. Five have given their names for membership in the Baptist church and three for the Christian church, making a total of 126 additions to the various churches.
 A baptismal service was held yesterday out on Dota and for a time the town was practically de- serted, nearly every body having gone to attend the service. Eff ty.nine persons were baptized yesterday by immersion. Eigh- teen were baptized at the church last Sunday, several the Sunday before and there are a mum Der yet to be baptized at the church next Sunday.
 Old men who have been in the service of the church for forty to fifty years say that, all things con- sidered, this has been the most re- markable revival they ever wit messed.

LIQUOR HOUSE WAS NOT OPENED
Citizens do Good Work in Prevent ing Opening of Wholesale
 Liquor House in Newark

George Qualls, of Rutherford, brought a wagon load of whiskey down from his distillery Tuesday for the purpose of openinga a whole sale liquor house here in Newark.
 Mayor Ration went to MT. Qualls and advised him that the people would object to his open ing such business here, and re- quested him not to do so. Mir. Qualls said that he had procured government license and brought his whiskey here, and expected to open for business, but did not pro- pose to run over the law, as he had been fully advised by his law yer that he could run such busi- ness here and keep within the law.
 The report spread over town in 8 few minutes and citizens began to discuss the matter. In very short time the call went out for a meeting of the citizens, to formu- late some plan of action, and in less than ten minutes some 30 or .35 citizens gathered at the post office and organized themselves in- to a committee, with Mayor Rat ton as spokesman, for the purpose of waiting upon MT. Qualls and respectfully requesting him to make no further efforts to open his liquor house. Mir. Qualls had agreed in the meantime to meet such 8 committee and hear and an swer any protest they might have to offer. When the commit tee was ready, R. K. McHenry and Marshal Pascoe were appoint ed to wait upon Mir. Qualls and bring him before the committee. MT. Qualls was found on the streets and informed that a com- mittee of citizens desired to meet him. He then declined to go be- fore the committee, but agreed to take his whiskey back home and make no further efforts to sell it here. When this report was brought to the committee in wait ing, it was unanimously decided that the committee repair to the street, hunt up MT. Qualls. shake his hand and thank him for his decision. The committee then marched accross the street, where Mir. QualIs was found, and a very touching scene enacted.
 A few minutes later Mir. Qualls left for home, taking his whiskey with him.
