THE GREAT REVIVAL
Protracted Meeting Still in Progress and Great Re-
 suits Accomplished.
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT.
Rev. Mcintosh a Powerful Preach. CT, and Ably Assisted by Prof.
 Tatum and Loca Ministers.

The protracted series of sermons and revival of religion which was begun in the Methodist Church four weeks ago last Sunday by the pastor, Rev. B. L. Milford, assisted by Rev. w. M. McIn- tosh, of Iuka, Miss, and which was later transferred to the Baptist Church because of it's larger auditorium, still continues to draw immense crowds, taxing this the largest church edifice in the city to its utmost capacity, and many interested citizens are nightly turned away for want of room.
 Services are being held twice daily, from 10 to II o'clock in the forenoon, and beginning at 7:3O at night.
 Song service on the public thorough fares, participated in by upwards of an hundred children and many grown ups, has been an interesting and beautiful auxiliary to the work. After assem- bling at stated place up town, and singing, prayer and short address, the children marched through the streets singing the beautiful old and familiar hymns of our childhood, to the church, where the regular service is held. The singing is led by Prof. Ia tum, a consecrated man, of Jonesboro, who is masterly leader.
 Rev. Mcintosh has delivered, per- haps, two scores of powerful sermons, ha n6 int the people. The stores have closed between 10 and II o'clock every fore noon during this week, in order to give all employees who so desired an oppor- tunity to attend the meetings.
 No such an awakening has been ex- perienced here since the great revival in the Baptist Church under the lead ership of Ed. Gibbony, in 1891. at which time there were scores of con- versions, and the devil was almost en- tirely routed from the town.
 Great good is being accomplished by these earnest servants of the Lord, ana He is blessing their efforts. The services have been protracted much longer than was at first anticipated, and longer than any other service of like nature ever held in Forrest City, so far as we know. This has been ne- cesSary and proper by reason of the in creasing and intense interest manifes- ted, but the preachers feel that they have about fulfilled their mission for the present, and the meeting will close tonight.
 Up to the present time there have been about lS0 professions and reclam- ations, about D of which will unite with the Methodist Church, and the others with the several other churches of this city.
 There will be minister at the Bap- tist church Sunday morning to receive those who wish to join that church, and the regular ministers of the other churches will do likewise.
