audience could almost see the moving

A communication from one of our
citizens in regard to the meeting
follows:
THE revival meetings in progress st
the high school chapel have been the
talk of the town for the past two
weeks. Men on tie streets make it
their gospel article of talk. The Young
people have sidetracked everything to |
attend. The moving picture show has
suspended exhibition. All the churches
have given up their services and volun- |
teered to make it a community affair
1t has been a meeting in which the
whole town irrespective of creed or
politics could have point.
"Dr. Yeueu has proved himself a
master of assent lies and an orator ,of
the first class character. His discourses
are most interesting from what ever
stand point they are considered. DR..
I euell diction is always chaste and his
vocabulary is not a mere wordinegs but
an apparently exhaustless use of the
most fitting and sthrllling language.
dis delivery is very rapid but his en-
luncIation is so perfect that although
he acoustics are poor every word is
heard distinctly throughout the building.
DR.. Yeuells rich bell toned voice is a
trong asset to public speaker. |
