Paul Gilmore.

A most attractive. dramatic event
is promised at the Grand Opera House
for several weeks to come, one Of the
most important and welcome of which
will be the engagement, on Thursday,
November 18th, of Mr.. Paul Gilmore
and his company in The Call of the
North" said to be the most colorful
and lifeltke portrayal of life on thu
extreme Canadian frontier around
Hudson Bay. This new comedy dra-
ma by George Broadhurst, author of
1.-The Man Of the H-or' and many 9TH
er noted successes, is a dramati2atfon
of the popular novel "Conjuror's
House." by Stewart Edward White.
It's central character. Is, Ned Trent
(.Mr. Gilmore), a daring young adven-
turer who has trespassed upon fol
hidden territory to trade with the In
dams for furs. and finds himself at
loggeheads with the ancient and pow
erful Hudson Bay Company. Tn
equipment of scenery, costumes and
effects OF 1.-THE Call Of the Nortn'' are
reputed to be most elaborate and al
tlstfc, a statement that~is hardly nee
cssary, however, insview, of the costly
productions with which MI. Gilmore
has been seen every season for some
years past. ~

REVIVAL GROWS
IN INTEREST
SUNDAY WAS sTRENuous FOR.
EVANGELIST ss4vELY AND
HIS coWoRKERs.

tHeHfFNsIAI hAIsrgH IHa AHEaaN.aHT
The revival meetings under the aus
Pi6es OF the Central Christian Church
at The corner OF 2lsstreet and Walnut
avenue, continue this week with in
ereasing interest.
Evangelist Sntvely and his efficient
helpers, Messrs. seniR and Hopkins,
had a strenuous dhy on Sunday, con
ducting two services at the church and
two in the GRIND Opera House. At all
of these meetings a deepening Of the
spiritual interest on the part of the
membership of the church was mani
tested and this is a good omen for the
week upon which the evaugelistfe
team is Just entering.
Evangelist snively gave a most In
~teresting and instructive illustrated
talk before the Bible school in which
he showed the blighting power OF sin
on the life OF the ~spotless character of
childhood, and, then gave another IL
I~ustratfon to show how the saving
power of Christ would cleanse and.
make pure again the life all stained
by gin.
AT the meeting which followed some
.neart searching truths were present
ed for the inspiration and instruction
of the church membership.
The meeting for men in the Grand
Opera House It three O'Clock was well
attended and 1t was pronounced the
best service Of the kind ever held in
Fairmont.
The singing by the male quartette
composed of Messrs. Wetzel, Seniff,
Hopkins and Taught was a special tea-
ture and the music furnished by the
orchestra added great volume and
melody to the singing in both the
services held in the Grand.
The address to men only by Rev.
Snlvely was eloquent in its appeal to
maphoodt for a reaching after and
sticking to-" higher ideals. ami his
advice to men was that they try to
live up to the standard set for them
in the Bible. and also in the minds
of their mothers. wives and sweet
hearts who alas, too often believe
them better than they are.
The evening service was the Elrgest
and most inspiring meeting yet held
in the series. The evangelist was at
his best and the sermon on ''The I'M
mortality of the Soul was strong ant
convincing.
Many prominent men of the city who
seldom attend church. services were
present and listened with rapt atten-
ton to the speaker, whose powers of
oratory and argument are ofaan IN
usually high order, crisp. clear cut
and convincing. But all is presented
in u pleasing A chorus of 40
voices directed by Prof. Seniff was
seated on the stage and added much
to the effectiveness of the music. Mr..
Hopkins rendered as a cornet solo.
"Face to Face" in such an artistic
manner as to elicit the praise of his
hearers.
The services tonight will be held
in the church and the subject
is "Tne Great Salvation"
The ordinance OF baptism will! be
administered to a number of candt-
dates. Since the preparatory services
began six persons have come to take
membership with the church.
This. It is hoped, Is only the begin
ming Of the greatest revival of religion
in the history Of Falrmont. All per-
of every belief are welcome at
these meetings.

The loss on the I. c. Woodward last
