ing. It is his purpose to form a cnoir from singers of the various churcnes of the city. He will also have charge of the ushers.
 Rev. Bob Jones was born near Do- than, in Houston county, and began preaching when he was in his early teens. His phenomenal career has con- tipued and he comes to Montgomery with reputation of having made numerous conversions and having started a strong prohibition sentiment wherever he has preached, although prohibition has not been his theme.
 MT. Jones comes to the city from Pine Hill, where he has been resting for the past few days preparatory to entering his work here.
 He retired to Pine Hill some days ago conducting most successful meet ings at Dothan, Fort Deposit. Ever green, Elba, Camden and Greenville. In each of these places he has aroused a very strong prohibition sentiment and both Camden and Dothan abolished the dispensary after his meetings. It is said that he has crippled the sa- looms and dispensaries in other towns to such an extent that elections for their abolishment have been called or are about to be called,
 Prohibition Net His Theme.
 While Mr. Jones has aroused strong prohibition sentiment in every town or city in which he has held services, prohibition is not his theme. His. pur- pose is to convert. And In this con nection it would be we'll to say that he is not trying to make converts to the Methodist church. He is trying to make converts and the person is at perfect liberty to join any church he may prefer.
 In Elba MT. Jones conducted a most successful meeting. over eighty mem bers having joined the local churches in that town. A large sum was also raised toward the building of new Methodist Church in that place. Here also A strong prohibition movement was begun. Mir. Jones went from Elba to Pine Hill to rest in preparation foI the services to held in Montgomery.
 Interest in the coming of Rev. Bot Jones has been manifest all through the last week, special preparatory ser. vices having been held in several oi the Methodist churches in the city. These services have been revival m cbaraeter though ones in which there was no especial effort to make con verts. They have been services in which announcements of the coming oi Rev. Bob Jones have been made, with a review of the work of the noted evangelist throughout the State
 Services were conducted at the For ast Avenue Methodist Church under the leadership of Rev. R. l.. Tyler, pastor of St. Johns Methodist Church oi Birmingham, and services at the court Street Methodist Church in which the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church. Clay ton Street Methodist Church, and Perry street Methodist Church united. At these services the presiding Elder, Rev M Fl. Holt, conducted the services.
 MT. Tyler left last night for his home in Birmingham. Mir. Holt will remain fin the city during the services at the Auditorium.
 The pastors of the various churches of the city are bending every energy toward making the coming services at the Auditorium the most suceessfui that have ever been held in the city ana if Ia confidently expected by them that the large Auditorium will be nlleo to it's capacity at each service,
