Rev. J. p. Brusingbain, ID. d., pastor
of the First Methodist church in Chicago,
began Monday a series Of evangelisfic
meetings that will continue through the
week.
He is assisted by Prof NJ. J. Hill OF
Detroit, Mich, the possessor Of a magni-
ficent voice, powerful, Of liquid smooth
ness and with a range that covers all
parts. He Is a most inspiring chorus
leader with the happy faculty Of making
erybody find a voice with which to join
in the singing. aud his solos are things
Of musical delight From Randolph,

engagement.
DIR. Brus ing ham has the Western ami
nation that contrasts forcibly with the

oratorical effect, and appeals strongly TO
the emotions. He seeks TO revive the re-
ligious enthusiasm of former days that in
the present time is succeeded by a pro-
found calm, and claims that when men
can shout an hour and a half in a politi-
cal convention for a twice-defeated candi-
date for the presidency, il would not be
in them once in awhile to
lift mp their voices in honor OF the King
Of Kings.
OF the dignity and happiness of the
Christian life he informs his hearers and
shows them how the Transforming power
Of the Spirit can change the most insigni-
ficant OF human ciphers with the rim
rubbed out to self-respecting aud re-
spected people. Christians. worthy OF

after righteousness leads them out of the
slums into the higher places of clean Iiy-
ing, and brings them into the ranks of
those deserving of regard.
