MEETINGS ARE
WELL ATTENDED
Series of Revival Meetings at
Library Hall by Local
Ministers.

Slight Change Of Meetings for Next
Week-Revlvals to Continue
During the Month.

To the laymen the quiet develop
ment of the plans of the local pastors
in the meetings now going on at the
Library hall is more potent factor
than the usual excited and exuberant
conditions which obtain when the
professional evangelist comes to town.
The music, led by Mr.. Blodgett,
pastor of the Baptist church, has been
more than usuully good. More than
forty voices form the choir Which is
made up of the soloists from the vari-
GUS churches with a considerable ad-
dition in the way of young people.
The Sunday evening service, the
first in the series, was addressed by
Mr.. Grim, pastor of the Methodist
who also preached on Tuesday
evening.
Mr.. Holbrook, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, occupied the pulpit
on Monday and Thursday.
Pastor Blodgett, in addition to con-
the music, preached Wednes-
day night to we'll filled house.
Several people have indicated their
desire to enter upon a Christian life
and the large attendance bespeaks an
interest now lately shown in the
of the town.

to the popular evening meetings a
morning prayer meeting from 9:45 to
1880 each day except Saturday.
