THE GREAT RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL AT FLAT RIVER
Has Lasted Six Weeks with Nearly
$50 Additions to Church-Closes
Next Sunday.
FLAT RIVER, Mo-, Dec. -.

FLAT RIVER, Mo-, Dee. y.
This is the closing week of the
greatest revival meeting ever held
In the Lead Belt. There have been
nearly two hundred and fifty addi-
tions to the church to date.
The members of the Christian
Church, having a vision of great
things, built tabernacle Is by -
feet, and lining 1t with paper to make
1t comfortable, they then, securing
the services OF Evangelist Hamil-
ton and his wife and the Stewards
as singers, began meeting on Mo-
vember 18th. From the very first
night to the present the Ia 'rnable
has been well filled, practically every
night. Rev. Hamilton's sermons
have been logical from the beginning
to the end, with no disposition hav-
ing been shown to appeal to the
emotions, az Is SO common in mod
ern evangelism. For the first week
no invitation was given, the SER
mons being directed to the church
members, urging them to get into
/ the work. Cottage prayer meet
/ ings were held in all parts OF tn"
! town, hundreds of personal calls
were made by the evangelist and
tho local workers committee, and
soon everybody in town knew that
| Hamilton meant business. Men
and women who had not been In
church for months came, and kept
coming. The stewards organized II
large cnorus and their thirty minute
song service each evening guaran.
teed the early arrival of everybody,
No one wanted to miss the songs.
At the end of the first week the first
invitation was given and twenty
were added tn the church that day
and there were additions to the
church every day thereafter.
The interest and attendance IL
now the greatest that II has been al
any time since the meeting began
The meeting will close next Sunday
with three services at IL n. m, ; p
N. and 7. p. IN.
The incidental expenses of the
meetings, including the building OF
the tabernacle, amounting in all to
about $22j, was taken care of by the
regular evening offerings. The ex'
pensc Of the evangelist was raised
in few minutes last Sunday. A
very large per cent OF the new con
verts ara grown people and much OF
the expense Of the meeting was paid
by these. This is in every way Il
great meeting.

Miss Clara Barton,

Clara Barton, who celebrated her
ninetieth birthday Yesterday, is one OF
those rare souls that seem 10 have been
placed in the world TO carry out some
great scheme OF divine philanthropy.
During all the wears of her long and
useful life Miss Barton's career has
been one of unselhsh devotion TO
others, and the good that she has done
will live long after her name has be-
come dim in the memory OF future gen
erations of men.
The work OF Miss Barton was strictly
humanitarian. She had ideals OF use
fulness, aud these ideals crystali2ed in
that magnificent organization known as
the Red Cross Society. And it was in
connection with the organization OF
this society and in carrying forward the
multiform activities in connection with
il that she achieved such generous
measure of honor and appreciation.
Miss Barton was not a politician; she
was not greatly concerned about her
rights" and She spent no time COM
planning of lack OF opportunity for re-
forming society. But she did %" the
need OF helping the suffering and the
distressed, and this was her field. Thus
at the age of 90 she may look back up.
on life that is bright and glowing
with the good which II shed.
The horror OF war awoEe in Clara
Barton latent genius for organization
and administration. With no thought
of how she MAS to work out her prob
lem, she left her position as a govern
ment clerk aud went with the federal
army into Virginia. There were many
other splendid women engaged in SINH
lar work, bu, Miss Barton early rccog
niZed the necessity OF Combiuation-ui
uniting all OF these efforts for greater
effectiveness, and thus the American
Red Cross Society was born. Later
Miss Barton served in the Franco-rrus.
sian war aud became famous through
Europe and his country as the "sol.
diCr's angel.
No more worthy philauthropiC iusti.
tuition exist, IN America than the Red
Cross Socicty aud It j. today a munu-
mcnt to the earnest and unselfsh ei-
forts OF Mis- Clara Barton. She was
its first president and administered its
affairs with remarkable ability for many
years, until the burdens of age required
her resignation. But II must be pro-
foundly gratifying to her in her semi
retirement to see the glory she has
wrought perpctuated in society that
/ is gradually extending its scope of &C.
! tivities and that is destined to solve
many Of the great problems OF human
suffering. Kansas City Journal.
