IA very impressive meeting marked
the opening of the revival services
at the Free Baptist Church Sunday
evening. Rev. George e. Barnard
delivered q powerful sermon on the
subject, Goods Part of a Revival
Meeting" The pastor declared that
the success OF the revival service
depends largely upon the Chris
tlanity in the church. He spoke
of the necessity of hard faithful
work by the church members, de-
c,arlng that God works through His
servants. The Impressive service
resulted in three conversions and a
number on seekers.
The church choir rendered spe-
cial music during the evening. A
bass solo by Mr.. Walter Moore was
a pleasing number.
The revivals will continue every
night this week. Following the
regular preaching session Sunday
morning, Rev. Barnard conducted a
short baptismal service, in which
four were baptized.

Where Life Is Worth Living.

To the Editor OF The Times In
Detroit life Is worth living we hear
and see In our city and one wouio
wish that such a city might well De
worthy OF this title. An incident
came to the writer's notice TO mar
the truth of this motto Wednesday
afternoon at 4:30 p. M. when nsht
between the owner of the saloon and a
customer Of his took place In the
street. at the corner OF Greenwood ana
Brainard-st., and no one seemed
TO want to interfere. The climax OF
the situation was reached when the
men had been separated; was in
formed that the man Just coming out
of the saloon was deputy sheriff VINO
had been inside while the hght was
going on. The man was put out OF
the saloon In this case and evidently
the man had no money left and SO
had To stand the saloonkeeper' abuse.
II Is the limit when doctor ana
storekeeper will say let them hSht IL
out and when deputy sheriff was In
the place at the time and comes Out
when all is over and simply walks on
and says nothing.
It Is the opinion OF the writer, who
lived near this place for year. that
this corner needs a good cleaning out
as we'll as a new deputy sheriff.
