LIE euQ OF tHe service was impress
sive, and it touched the tender spot in
many hearts. The immense congrega-
ton waited patiently for the end, and
few left until the farewell had been
said. AS the parting song was being
sung they mounted the benches and,
looking over the heads Of the converts,
gazed at the group of evangelistic
workers, whose goodbye was voiced in
the trio Miss MacLaren and Messrs.
Fischer and Butler sang AS its strains
died away, and Mr. Sunday waved his
hand in idieu and left the PLATFORM the
multitude saluated with waving hand
kerchiefs.
Accompany Sunday to Train.
crowd of more than 200, many of
Whom were from the choir, waited for
a last farewell and accompanied the
evangelist to the union station where
he took the train for Youngstown,
Ohio, at 1880. While they waited at
the station they sang the Sunday"
song and others and the Y. NJ C. A.
drum corps, which accompanied the
crowd, added the sound of drum and
the shrill piping of the fife to the good
bye and God speed.

fering practically every town and
township of the county had it's delega-
tions in the audiences. The attend
ance fro mtfe county, outside of this
city, was probably as large if not larg-
er than any previous day. Many were
here from the towns of central Iowa
and distant points, but those repre-
scented by this attendance was not
nearly so large as the crowds from
the county.
Total Attendance 10000.
With the 1890, the attendance at the
two Saturday meetings, and the a.
900 who were at the tabernacle meet
ings on Sabbath, and 1900 at the two
Sunday services for women only, the
total of those who attended the reviv-
al meetings amounted to 10000. This
only includes the tabernacle services,
and the church meetings, held on Sun
day while meetings were in progress at
the tabernacle. 1t does not include the
thousands who attended the factory,
shop, prayer and other meetings.
Last of the Sermons.
Rev. Mr. Sunday preached three SER
mons on the closing day, suitable for
bringing to an end his strenuous la
bors. In the morning he spoke word
of encouragement and advice to new
converts to strengthen their steps as
they followed the christians pathway.
At the same time he urged the church,
it's members, and the christians to
give all the aid and sueeor in thir pow
er to help along those who had started
in the new life
His farewell to men was a warning,
his subject being 1.-The Judgment" In
1t he pointed ahead to the certainty Of
a day Of reckoning for those who
sinned and would not turn to God, and
in pleading words he asked them to re-
pent and give up thier sins that they
might escape eterna! punishment
His farewell sermon at night was
on the fatal error of postponing the
acceptance of Jesus, because no one
knows to a certainty what the next
day or the next week holds for each
one.
Because of the time taken up at all
three of the meetings in gathering in
the free will offering, all of his SER
mons were short.
