EVANeELIsTlc SERVICE.
Subject oF Rev. c. c. Luther's Address
 Was a Woman's Revival.


 All genuine revivals "come down" from above; they are not gotten up." said Evangelist Luther in opening his address at the First Baptis church on Thursday evening n "A Woman's Revival" I is mot by might, nor by army, but by my spirit, saith the Lord" And yet there is a human side to it and there is an important sense in which God is dependent upon man:s This is forceful- ly Illustrated in the story of the great 'iSychar Revival" recorded in the 4th chapter of John. and which was started and brought about by the action of one woman, many accepting Christ simply upon her testimony, before they had seen Him, as stated in the 99th verse and many more later when they had seen Him personally.
 Many commentators have sought for the explanation Of the efficacy of that woman's testimony. Mir Luther thought the secret was to be found in the statement recorded in the 28th verse: "The woman then left her waterpot." That is the key. It dis closes several esential clements of success. These he named as first, higher and nobler aim in life than is common; second, a singleness of pur- pose and defniteness of aim, and. third, a complete consecration.
 That Samaritan woman was success ful because with noble and definite purpose she gave herself to it's accom- plishment with all her heart and that forsaken waterpot is the barometric measure of the inward pressure, the thermometer that registered the inten- sitv Of heart beat.
 To such a conservation and such fruitful life and such a glorious reward the Lord is calling us today, and the waterpots Of life disclose our answer If the world sees us more concerned for them than for souls we shall not win many to Christ Our success de- pends upon our measure of sacrifice earnesmess of effort and defniteness of aim.

opposed to a widening of Main street at the corner, but from the fact that he had not been consulted by anyone with authority in regard to it, it was his opinion that nothing more would be done in that direction.
 The cleaning up of the debris is practically completed, the cellar being cleared to the rear wall. On Thursday six foot board fence was erected about the property in the gutter by c. Bishop Church, enclosing the engine also. The work of enlarging the cellar by blasting out the ledge adjoininE the Chelsea building will be done by c. Morgan Williams and will be rushed along as fast as possible. This will give much additional cellar space. as the ledge occupies about a fifth of the cellar. A steam drill will be used to hustle the work and powder will be used for blasting, as it is less liable te damage adjoining property.

Yuma Runninn Analn-

The steamer Yuma of the Chelsea freight lines, which has been fin dry dock in New York, being scraped and painted, made her usual trip Thurs day from New York to this city. The Yuma is much improved by the re- Thursday because of the strong wind.
 The Yuma missed her schedule the first of the week owing to being in drydock, and as the Chelsea is being generally rebuilt at Noank, the line was without boat. With the changes in the Yuma she has more speed than before.
