The evangelistic campaign held under the direction of Rev, J. Wilbur Chap man came to a close on Tuesday even ing in all the districts of the city.

How shall we escape If we neglect so great salvation" MT. s. Wallace Mitchell sang as a solo The Ninety and Nine" The converts num- bering about 150 then came to the front of the church and gave testi-
 monies for Christ and many spoke of what help the meetings had been to them. At the close of the service a Chatauqua Salute was given to MT. Sheldon and Mir Mitchell, after which about 130 people accompanied them to the Davenport hotel to give a farewell greeting. When the hotel was reached the crowd gathered around the two evangelists and attracted many people tosthe scene by singing gospel humns. The last hymn sung was God be with you till we meet again and then a line was formed all shaking hands with the men and wishing the God ,-Speed In their work.

FAIR HAVEN.
Pilgrim Church Makes Annual Report-Leigh Says He
 Will Retire.

The people of the Fair Haven dis trict, who united In making the splen- did free will offering to Rev. Dr. Os- trom. the evangelist. who closed his work in Fair Haven Tuesday night, have reason to feel pleased with their fine gift. II was a splendid testimo- nial to the work of splendid man. The presentation of the money was made by the chairman of the finance committee. D. R Pollock and Dr. Ostrom replied in brief speech. It was evident that the gift was greatly appreciated by the recipient. It should be said, however. that not all this cash goes to pr. Ostrom. for he has to pay out of the fund the salary of his secretary. the salary of the con- netist and also the expense of a large number of cards which he furnished for distribution The Fair Haven dis trict also raised bafore the meetings began, the sum of $500 for the gen. eral committee of the city. making their contributions at least sl,50o, so
 1t can be truly said that Fair Haven district did its share in the work of the Chapman campaign But Fair Haven, when enlisted in any great and good movement, is always liber- al and whole-souled. When Dr. Os- from received the money the entire finance committee was present Gifts of handsome boquets of flowers were also made to Dr. Ostrom, Mrs. Chap man. the cornetist, and Mir Hills, the soloist. The presentation was made by the convener for this district Rev. E. c. Tullar, in fine speech, in which he praised very highly the work of tho trio.

The firemen remain ed in their houses, thinking of course that there was no fire. Officer R. F. Hall then rang an alarm from box 14. corner of Main and Center streets and the fremen responded. Two lines of hose were quickly laid and the fire extinguished with loss only to the shed, which was totally destroyed. Had it not been for the prompt arrival of the fire laddies the large barn with some thirty horses would have been doomed.

 Wallingford. Jan. 22.7The First Congregational church was crowded to the doors this evening to hear Rev. Dr. Granstaff open the Chapman evan gelistic campaign in Wallingford. The feature of the meeting was the slng- ing. which was excellent. The chorus, which will sing during. the meetings, did, well for its first evening. The so- loist of the evening was 0. F. Pugh, His sympathetic voice. was much ap- preciated and was mentioned by many after the services were over. Dr.. Granstaff is a speaker whose greatest force perhaps lies in his voice and manner and it was plainly evident that his audience was with him throughout the evening Not for long time has Wallingford seen so large a congrega- tion gathered together for religious purposes and it was clearly shown that the Chapman movement had ta- ken hold of them effectively at it's very beginning. There was little evidence in the evangelst's sermon of an ap- peal to the emotions. It was rather a straight forward appeal to the intel- lect. Wallingford is especially favored in having two such men as Rev. Frank Granstaff, D.D. and MT. Q. F. Pugh, as regular warkers during the cam paign. Both are highly educated men and have been with Dr, Chapman for period of years. The noted evangel- list regards Dr. Granstaff as one of the leading workers of the country. To- morr low evening and for every evening during the next two weeks there will be meetings at the Congregational church at 7:45 D, m, conducted by Dr. Granstaff II is probable that Dr. Chapman, himself, and other of his associates will be in the borough some time during the next two weeks. MT. and Mrs. Asher will probably conduct several saloon meetings in the borough provided permission is granted by the
 saloon keepers. The workers have certainly been given a very enthusias- tic reception at the beginning of their work for God and humanity.
