ECHOES FROM A GREA'
REVIVAL
One Hundred and Fifty-Se'
en- Conversions at the
Taylor Meetings

1t does not require a man wit
extra good eyes to see that ou
city and country is in the throe
of the greatest religious revival
ever conducted in Canyon county
rhe cooperative efforts that are be-
ing put forth by our churches un
der the leadership of Evangelist
Taylor is without parallel in the his
tory of this vicinity The churches
have formed solid front against
sin. and for the conversion Of
souls 10 Christ they have hidden
their petty differences under the
love OF soul-saying Savior and
together are working or the re-
demptiCn OF Emmett for Christ.
That their labor is not in vain
IS TO be seen in the 15TsOuls that
have responded to the five invita-
tions that have been extended. This
campaign is yet in its infancy; God
alone can see and understand what
the outcome will be.
Last Sunday was a day long to
be remembered. The evangelist
spoke on the subject of Mother.
Hundreds wore a white flower or
ribbon in memory of a sainted
mother. The sermon was a gem of
rare value; the hour was an hour
Of joy and tears, as the speaker
unfoIded before the eyes OF his
hearers the beauty, power and bless
ings o. that Cne so sacred to every
heart. He impressed US with the
responsibilities of mothers who
furnish the material for the high
est senates of earth and have a
large place in the destinies OF
nations.
Sunday night the big tabernacle
was filled TO its seating capacity,
and many were heard remark that
it was the largest ingathering ever
seen in Emmett. The subject OF
the evening was Our Savior" and
the evangelist held out all the
qualities of the man of sorrow, a
com bination of which go to make u
lhe Christians ideal. Hundreds went
away from this service with a high
er appreciation of their Savior than
ever be ore entertained.
In speaking of Evangelist Tay-
lor, am free in saying that he
is one Of Gods great men, and
that he stands in a class Of his
own, he thinks for himself, talks
as himself, and seems never TO
ask the question, What will the
people have me say? but what
should l say, and then he says 1t
any uncertain sound, IN
such a plain way that it can be
understood without an Interpreter.
You have no doubt heard of the
man who has the courage of his

see the real thing, just step any
evening at the tabernacle and take
a squint at Mr. Taylor. He be-
