The great need of the world today is
an awakening of Christians, every
where, to their duties and privileges.
The session of the Presbyterian church
of this city realizing this truth, have
decided to hold a series of meetings in
their church, beginning tonight. Rev.
Mcintyre, of F~aison's, has kindly con-
sented to preach for them. He may be
assisted by others. Every member of
the church is urged to avail themselves
of this opportunity of assisting, by
their presence and prayers, snd arous-
ing a lively interest in Christian work
and living in our midst. Rev. Nc
Intyre is a consecrated preacher, and
his 1abors, in other fields, have been
signally blessed in arousing Christians
to a sense of their opportunities, and in
turning the unconverted to Christ. All
persons are invited, and every mem
Der of the Presbyterian church is es-
pecia1ly urged to be present at all the
meetings, none of which will last more
than an hour.
