day Night A Stirring Scene.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 17.--Of the many
great scenes that have been enacted at
the tabernacle during the Rev w A.
sunday revival meetings. that OF last
night semed to be ,hc greatest, when
ninety four men and women thronged
down the aises toward the platform
and grasped Mr. sunday by the hand in
token of their determination henceforth
to lead christian life.
City at Point of Surrender.
AS they stood in the aisles at the
front waiting for Mr.. Sunday to take
them by the hand, 1t seemed as If
Cedar Rapids had come To the point
of making complete surrender OF
yielding unreservcdly to the persua- :
sion Of the marvellous man whose
name has been on nearly every lip
during the past five weeks Many OF
those who went down to the front
number their friends In Cedar Rap
ids by the scores and the hundreds
They were men and women well
known In business. professional and
social life. They included many young
husbands and wives. but also many
with gray hairs There Was applause
again and again as they started tc
march down to the front Their friends
on the platform and In the congrega
tion looked with glad and shining eyes
There We're but n few tears. Most faces
wore smiles or happiness. When the
meeting closed men and women fairly
swarmed around these ninety and con-
graduated them heartily upon the
stand they had taken.
A Wonderful Beginning.
1t was u wonderful beginning TO,
the last week of the revival Gnl, vii
doubtless have marked effect upor
the meetings which are to follow
When such men and women as thes,
are persuaded. why should any one
wait longer-that will be the senti
ment of those who We're at the meet
ing last night and who saw them 4,
forward. There doubtless would hav,
been more last night, but the tire,
, evangelist did not wish to hold hi
congregation long. The after meet
ing lasted scarcely fifteen minute.
tho the JOY was so great and the con.
gregation was so stirred by what theil
eyes had beheld. they did not leav,
the tabernacle for more than an houl
after the meeting was over.
