THE METHODIST REVIVAL

An audience that filled the audito.
irium OF the First Methodist church to
overflowing was in attendance on the
revival last night. The singing was
inspiring. II was alone worth the trou-
BILE of attendance to hear the choir
and the large congregation sing Look
and Live" Mr.. Fisher is proving to be
great leader and someone remarked
yesterday that Mrs. Fisher could get
more music out of a piano than any
one they had ever heard.
Rev. Finn preached a strong SER
mon last night on And at Last,
He'll" and at it's close the interest
seemed intense. Rev. Finn said in the
course of his sermon that the most
discouraging aspect of our modern
civilization is the lightness with which
1t regards sin. He then pointed out
the awful physical, moral and spir-
itual results of sin and declared that
as a result of its presence in a mans
life in this world it could mean moth
ing else than hell in the life to come.
The Sunday school room was again
brought into use to seat the crowc
that attended this mornings service,
for results. There were two profess
sions of conversion and twenty-five or
thirty requests for prayer.
At the close of last nights service
at least thirty-five or forty of those
present pledged themselves to pray
fifteen minutes during today for the
services, and the meeting Is assuming
larger proportions constantly.
Rev. Finn will preach tonight on
ItBryan in the Balances; or, Weighed
and Wanting" The public is cordially
invited.

Mr. A. G. Wilmington, superintend.
ent of the Fort Worth division of the
International & Great Northern rail-
road, with headquarters at Mart. has
been in the city for the past two days.
looking over the Bryan yards with a
view of making Improvements prepar-
atory to handling the greatly increased
business expected. The principal pur-
pose of Mr.. Whittington's visit was to
locate the switches to be built to the
flour mill and power plant. He was
accompanied by Resident Engineer
George Jarvis, who made the neces-
sary surveys and left today for Pales-
tine, where blue prints of the switches
will be prepared.
While in the city the officers of the
Commercial Club discussed with Mr..
Wilmington the expediency of putting
on a passenger train between Bryan
and Valley Junction. Mr. Wilmington
stated that he would take the matter
up with the head offices and would do
everything possible to secure the serv-
ice. He stated further that he thought
that after August / a mixed train
could be run between Bryan and Val
ley Junction, arriving at Bryan at s
a. m. and returning at p. m.
This service has been desired by the
business men of Bryan and the resi-
dents of the bottom for some time
The officers of the club assured Mr..
Wilmington that if the experiment was
made it was sure to prove such a pay
ing proposition that it would be made
permanent.
