RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
Rev. Gates Stirs the Hearts of Men
and Women.


At last the evangelist. Rev. Gates
who has been creating religious
enthusiasm never equaled since the
days of Dwight L. Moody. is II
Union CITY. He arrived last Fri.
day morning, following a telegram
which appeared in the city papers
last week, requesting the business
men to close their places of bust.
ness from 10 to II a. IN every day
during the meeting.
The meetings are held in the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
in which about 300 people may be
seated, and ever since the preach.
er's advent in the city the church
has been crowded night and day.
Up 10 yesterday morning there
had been 2l0 conversions. including
old and young. On Tuesday and
Wednesday the schools marched to
the schools in body one division
each day.
A petition for closing the bust
ness houses was circulated and
signed by nearly every merchant
and business man in town. The
hours for closing are from 10 to II
a. m.
Rev. Gates is a delicate, modest
looking man, about thirty-6ve years
old. There is nothing remarkable
in the depth or breadth of his SER
mons. Our own ministers would
probably win in a contest with him
for biblical or theological profun-
dity. He is neither a Sam Jones
nor Major White. He is, of all
things, a general--not dashing,
but cool, steady, thoroughly
convinced and fixeo in purpose.
He is clean, clear-cut He has a
pair Of piercing eyes. He under
stands human beings and the secret
of leading them. He neither COM
nands nor begs they simply fol-
low.
Rev. Gates is just out of one
of the most remarkable religious
awakenings ever held in Memphis.
In Trenton the whole town was
shaken from center to circumfer-
ence during his mlnistrations, which
lasted about three weeks.
The song services are conducted
by Lea Garth, Of this city.
The meeting Is just fairly begun,
with over two hundred conversions,
and what the end will be no one
can foretell.
Not since the days Of Inge has
there been such religious fervor
as there is to-day in Union City,
nor since Reuben Burrow shook the
foundations Of Satan in Troy forty
years ago.
