HOLINESS UNION
 ENDS ITS SESSIONS
NUMEROUS SERVICES HELD YES TERDAY, THE STREET MEET INGs BEING A FEATURE LAST NIGHT.

Yesterday was the final day of the Holi- ness Union convention, and while no bus mess was transacted by the body, it was the most strenuous day of the convention. It was indeed day of evangelism, large number of evangelistic services be- ing held in the city hall on the streets and in the various churches of the city.
 The street services were especially en- thusiastic, being held on several differ ent corners at o'clock and lasting for over an hour. large number of the del- egates stood in the streets and sang and prayed and a number preached sermons in the evangelistc vein.
 Nearly every church in the city yes- terday morning turned over its pulpit to a member of the union, and each was greeted with a large and attentive con- gregation. The various services at the city hall armory were also exceptionally enthusiastic.
 An extremely large number of members of the union from all over the country were in attendance on the convention during its hve-days session. Different from other conventions it found each and every delegate eager and anxious to par ticipate in the actions of the convention, the average convention being sort of cut and dried affair. with only a few per sons taking any active part
 Prominent among the delegates were students from the various Holiness insti- tutions throughout the south. the young lady students wearing their mortarboard caps with school dress and the young men appearing in cadet uniforms. The young ladies were especially attractive, there being many marked beauties among them,
