Sermons of Much Power.
The two sermons by the Rev. Will

mediately inspired the members of the
congregation TO the highest pitch of
enthusiasm, and all are predicting the
greatest revival ever known in the
history of the church The Rev Will

those who were already members of
the church, urging each to do his
most efficient work during the meet

saving of souls. In the course of his
remarks he showed the work NeEemi-

into his confidence and allowing them
to work with him, and of the ultimate

In the evening, Rev. Wilson dis
coursed upon the Resurrection of Je-
sus Christ" and gave a most forci-
BILE appeal, showing how the entire
faith of tae Christian is based upon
the belief that Christ rose from the
dead. Mr. Wilson is a rapid fire spea-
l1er but with it all he speaks so dis
tinctly that no part of his message is
lost by his audience.
Prof w. F. Limit, the soloist ans. CO.
worker of Rev. Wilson, at once es-
tablished himself favorably with all
his hearers in the solos of Sunday. He
possesses that charm in singing which
consists in throwing his whole soul in
TO the message that he gives and that
feeling he imparts 10 the audience
The special chorus which has been ar
ranged for the meeting, numbered
about fifty on Sunday and occupied all
he platform space available Prof
Limit will make an endeavor to Sc
cure a chorus of at least one hundred
