UNION EAVNGELIsTIc MEETING
NOTES.
Word Pictures Of the Leaders as
Others See Them.

Sunday, November 18th, the union
meeting begins at the Big Tabema-
Gle. The people of Great Bend and
vicinity will then make the acquain-
lance Of the men who are to lead in
this great meeting. Below is a de-
scripfiOn of Rev. Charles Grant Jor-
DIN, D. D., the evangelist, taken from
che Oakdale Times, Oakdale, Pennsyl-
vRnia. I'VE have not seen enough Of
Evangelist Jordan (who is holding
revival services in Oakdale this
week. to form a just opinion about
his work and what will probably
come of it in this place. But one
thing is certain at this date-we have
with us a genius; one of those ex-
tzRordinary men whose brain is fire
and lightning, whose mental opera
tiOns do not run in the usual chan
Aell. It is evident in every phase OF
his personal appearance that we have
such a genius before u.s. the re-
msrkably compact physical organiza-
ton, the finely shaped head that Is
perfectly balanced on perfectly square
neck and shoulders. Mr.. jordan ra-
eianB suggests the Scotch-Irish. 80.
and his quickness and flashing hui
NOR show the Celtic temperament.
His profile is that of Mckinley and
Napoleon. He breaches the plain,
pure gospel of invitation and prayer,
but if it becomes necessary to dwell
for a moment on the STEINER side of
Gospel truth, you will think an
earthquake and thunder storm both
have strayed into the room. At such
Zines he seems to grow about seven
feet tall and he would scare room
tulA of lions. This is only occasion
ally, however. Ordinarily his dis
course with his engaging smile and
bright eyes is like heart to heart
talk with a Sunday School class. In
short and fine, he is the right man
for the revival; he is a lvie wire
tor the revival; he is live wire
Francs Xavier, Savonorola, or Paul
himself, who is forced by his temper
anent and boundless energy to go
about on his revivifying mis-
sion"
W. J. RAMSAY, The Singer.
The Rushville, Ohio, paper speaks
Ct Mr.. Ramsay in the following man
nsr: "a better pleased or more thor
Oughly inspired audience was never
assembled in Rushville than that
which gathered at the Presbyterian
church last night. The great singing
evangelist, W. ]. Ramsay which
came from the Southland, was there
10 begin his work in this city and
quickly proved his unusual power as
a chorus leader and singer. Besides
these gifts, he has a most pleasing
personality and a plain, UNAFFECTED
manner which appeals to everyone
and Instantly inspires confidence and
admiration. He also impresseS each
one as being a thoroughly consecrated
man of God. His being a co-worker
with the celebrated evangelist and
lecturer, George R. Stuart, led those
responsible for Mr.. Ramsay's coming
to confidently expect great things OF
him, and he soon demonstrated the
TACT, most convincingly, that their
confidence was we'll placed. Promi-
nent members Of other churches pres
ent said they had never heard the
gifted singers equal in this city
Mr.. Ramsay will be here Thursday
Of this week, November 9Th, and
wishes to meet all the singers at
the Tabernacle on Friday night at
1880 for organization.
