REVIVAL AT BAPTIST CHURCH |S VERY
 SUCCESSFUL
Under Leadership of Evangelist Hall
 One of the Most Fruitful RevivaIs
 Ever Held in Clifton Progresses; Many Conversions.

The revival meetings which have
 been in progress at the Baptist
 church, under the leadership of Evan
 gelist Burton E. Ha1l for the past
 several weeks, have been highly suc-
 cessful, many conversions resulting,
 and intense interest being shown by the people of the various denomina-
 tions in Clifton.
 Prayer services are held in the
 afternoons at the residences of var
 ious members of the different de-
 nominations, and these services
 are largely attended, the Chris
 tian people being greatly encouraged
 at the results there attained.
 Since the beginning of these ser vices, it has been noticeable that un- usual interest has been aroused among not only the church-going public, but among the general public The discourses of Reverends Hall and Boyd, and the deepest interest shown by their assistants, led by Reverend Gordon, of the Baptist church, is finding a fruitful field, the services nightly being attended by congregation that fills the Baptist church to its fullest capacity. Last Sunday evening witnessed what was perhaps the greatest attendance at the different churches that Clifton F terian, Baptist, Methodist and Cath olic churches, the congregations were overfowing. Services were also con- ducted on the streets by mission workers, a Turkish missionary of the Presbyterian faith preaching to the Mexican population on Chase Creek, and another teacher holding forth to the African people. who some time since have established a church of the Baptist faith.
 But it is at the evening services at the Baptist church that the great est interest is shown. There the song service is led by Reverend Boyd, lately of Tennessee, and whose skill in song and story is such that all his hearers are moved. Reverend Boyd is assisted by a splendid choir, the music being of great beauty and pow er.. Reverend Boyd is a speaker of power, usually delivering brief = ad- dresses before and during the song service, these talks being always of and to the point.
 '. A remarkable interest is shown in the able sermons delivered nightly by Reverend Hall ,who is an evangelist of rare ability and possessed of great power in affecting the finer emotions of his hearers. Reverend Hall de- flyers sentences that ring with logic, appealing directly to the viewpoint of the large audiences. He at all times maintains the deepest interest of his hearers, varying his discourses with veins of pathes that strike the most chords of the listeners. Tn wit of the purest he is an artist, but his dominant theme Is his desire to excite his hearers to the necessity of a better life.
 His efforts, with those of his as. have been attended with great success, more than sixty-nine conversions having been attributed di rectly to his earnest teaching and to the work of assistants in these ser- vices. The services will end Sunday night, unless the plans of the lead CTS are changed by conditions now unforeseen.
 Reverend Hall will return Monday to his home at Tucson, where he has been residing as pastor of the Baptist church for some time. He is also in the editing of the church organ for the Baptists of this state, being well fitted, by education md experience, for work of this character
