HAuDENSCHIElQ
IN LEWISTON
Belated RevivaliSt to Open
Meetings at 7:30 This
Evening

Rev. c. r. Haudenschield of Chica-
go, the noted evangelist, who is to
conduct religious meetings in the NJ
Il. church, arrived in the city this
morning from Spokane. He was de-
layed in that city yesterday by his
train from the east being late. His
inability to make connections was the
cause of the meetings not beginning
last evening. They will begin tonight
at 1880 o'clock
Rev, Mr.. Haudenschield is a man
who impresses one as having a strong
personality. He comes from the Chi
cago firm of J. G. Farwell q Co,
where he was interested until the time
of his conversion, when he closed out
his commercial interests. Since then
he has been preaching to overlooking
houses in various parts of the United
States.
The evangelist has been in the field
but six years, yet his standing as a
progressive and capable evangelist has
gone all over the United States
He begins his work in Lewiston to-
night. The services will be held in
the M. E. church. The afternoon serv-
ices will begin at $3.50 o'clock and
those in the evening at 1880 o'clock
sharp.
Will Sing Several Solos.
The singing will be led by a good
cornetist, and will include chorus
choir of many voices. Rev. Mr.. Hau-
denschield will do all the solo work
having been a leader of high grade
music for some years in a leading uni
versjty.
From interest expressed in these
meetings, and the number who came
out last night. the Indications are that
