Dapttst

With a large and enthusiastic meet
ing last night, at which many had to be
turned away for lack Of room to accom-
modate them, West Washington Baptist
Church completed the second week Of
its special evangelistic services under
the leadership Of the Rev. DR.. II. NJ
Wharton. Many visible conversions have
been made as a result OF DR.. Wharton's s
powerful appeals, and the pastor Of the
church, the Rev. r. D. Cav. is confident
that there has been created in addition
lasting effect upon the whole COM
munity Of GEORGETOWN TO which the ac-
tivities OF the church extend. One of the
special features OF the revival has been
a hOuse-to-houSe canvass of Georgetown
TO determine the number Of persons not
related to any church and in particular
the number OF Baptists not attending
church.
There will be no meeting tonight. To-
morrow morning al 9:45 DR.. Wharton
will address the Sunday school and at IL
o'clock he will preach the morning ser

will be a special service for men and
boys at which DR.. Wharton will speak
on the subject. Death at a frOlic." At
this meeting the large chorus Of seventy
voices, under Prof. Bush, which has
contributed materially to the success of
the meetings, will render special music
The chorus will also aid DR.. Wharton
in the evening service at 7:45. There is
a strong probability that the meetings

nouncement on this matter will be made
at the meeting tomorrow night.
