Iowa. D will be of interest as Mr..
Lowry opens a series OF evangelistic
meetings here the first week in Janu-
airy:
Rev. Oscar Lowry last Sunday
closed a four weeks meeting at Charles
CITY. It was a union OF seven church
es and the college and was a grand
success from every view point. 1t is
a shining example of what a clean,
cmsecrated and earnest evangelist
can do in and for a community.
The singer, Prof. George Moody, is
also highly spoken of as a power in
revival meetings. We can do no bet
ter than to publish the following from
he ministers which sentiment is
strongly endorsed by Charles City as
a whole:
I'VE rejoice as q Ministerial assocla-
ton in what our eyes have seen, and
our ears have heard during the pass
age of the last four weeks.
The coming of Evangelist Oscar
Lowry and Prof. and Mrs. George
Moody has beer wonderfully owned
of God in the arousing of the churches
and the reaching of hundreds of the
unSaved.
brother Lowry is wise in his meth
DDS and impressiyely breaches on the
greatest of bible themes. His ser
mons are clear, scriptural and heart
searching.
Brother Moody is uneXcelled as a
chorus leader and his solos are rend-
cred not only unsteady pleasing, but
with a throbbing heart, singing its
way to the souls of the hearers.
Mrs. Moody is a devoted worker
and a successful leader Of children
and women's meetings.
I'VE heartily recommend these con-
secrated workers as worthy of all con
fidence."

The following item is from the
Charles City Press and is worthy of
a place here, and as We are all inter
ested in the success of III evangel-
list, we will be interested in this re-
port:
The greatest series of evangelistic
munity closed last evening with 4
shout of victory. 1t continued four
weeks and u day. 1t embraced ver
forty monster public services and
about fifty prayer meetings. The ag-
gregate attendance for the month is
fully $4,000; that means, if every man,
woman and child in Floyd county had
attended these meetings, each indi-
vidual could have come three times.
The number of persons who confessed
a decision for Christ is 60. Besides
these. every Christian received a
mighty stimulus, the churches of the
city were gloriously revived, and the
community got a moral tonic so eff
fectual as to be felt i'm the homes, the
school, the places of business, the
street and every stratum of society.
The new converts 70 to the church
of their choice, and every protestant
church in the city gets a share. $3.50
were raised for running expenses and
5000 were yesterday cheerfully con.
tributed for Mr.. Lowry. The two
evangelists and Mrs. Moody have won
the confidence and admiration and
deep friendship of the public.
Mr.. Lowry is a man of fine presence
and physique, with a voice we'll modu-
lated, pleasing and sonorous, of great
carrying power. and nevery husky or
harsh though he speak five or six
hours during the day. Should you
ask Mr.. Lowry, Which is the great
est of all hobbies?" He would answer.
Get right with Cod" This is the first
and great hobby. but the second is
like unto it: Keep right with God
and man." in these two hobbies hangs
the whole destiny of time and eternity.
The first of these is suspended in
large. flaming letters back Of the
speakers platform. Mr.. Lowry brings

consecrated fervor. till the dry bones
