With the same magnetic power that
has distinguished the evangelism OF DR..
II. NJ. Wharton throughout the wide
range Of his work, he completed last
night the first week of the revival Eerv-
ices, which he Is conducting for the Rev.
Theron OUtwater at the Kendall Bap-
list Church, Ninth street, near B street
southwest. DR.. Wharton is said by those
who have studied him carefully to be
the best-known evangelist among the
Baptists to-day. A striking appearance,
an unusually melodious voice, and q
sympathetic manner give his clear-cut
sermons extraordinary forcs. To this Is
added a keen sense Of humor which
caused Moody to remark OF him that no
one could tell two or three stories at the
same time as we'll as Wharton. Many in
the meetings this week have professed
conversion and there have been a num-
Der added to the church. There win be
service every evening next week, and

Prof P. W. Bush will continue to fur
nish special music.
