The After Meeting a.

The after meeting; was characterize
by a deep spirit OF conservation and
determination on the part of those
present to do all in their power to
introduce men and women to Jesus
Christ.
Mr.. Potter spoke on the words,
"He came where he was" emphasizing
the thought that if we expect to reach
the unsaved we must go where they
are and invite them to come.
Unless you are willing to go to
the people, for whom you pray, and
give them the personal word of in
vitation, you are only wasting time
praying" said Mr.. Potter.
I'VE pray for God to save Keokuk
and there are many people all about
the city who have every reason to be.
lieve that we do not care for their
souls, we never said we did, to them. .

happened that in the presence of

Communicated.
The union meetings are gaining in
attendance and interest every night.
Last night witnessed the
largest congregation that has yet as
sembled in the First Christion church.
The singing was spirited. the gospel
message was inspiring and helpful and
the whole service was calculated to
give the individual new grip upon
truth and righteousness.
The solo by Prof. Stentz was the
best yet. With fine effect he rendered
He Lifted Me- and his rich, full,
cultivated voice seemed peculiarly
adapted to the song.
He is proving himself a master in
his chosen work. The large chorus
responds to his leadership and it is
worth while to go to church these
nights just to hear the singing.
The Rev. II. B. Foster preached the
sermon, using for his text the words,
"Ye are an Holy Priesthood"
The audience room was packed to
it's limit and the reverend gentleman
held the large congregation from start
to finish, preaching with unusual
fever and freedom.
The Sermon.
''The peculiar function of the priest
is that of intercession," declared the
speaker. but he, himself must be
