A great meeting is now in progress
at Zion. The interest is above any
thing we have seen recently in Den
yer. Numbers are being saved, and
we are sure there are more to follow.
At the present writing nearly seventy
souls have been added to the church
and several others for the. other
churches.
DR.. Howard's sermons are sound in
structive and delivered with force and
power. His last sermon will be
preached to us Tuesday night.
Sunday is Zion's red letter day. 1t
is the plan and expectation of the
workers to crowd the house each serv-
ice during the day. Tags and tickets
are being distributed advertising the
meetings.
A great mems mass meeting is
planned for the afternoon at 3 o'clock.
A special message will be given them
by DR. Howard Every man in the
community should make an effort to
attend this service. Especially are the
unsaved urged to attend. No Chris
tian man should come without first
having made effort to bring some un-
saved.
The rite of baptism will be rendered
to such candidates as are ready at
the morning and also the evening SER
vice. The pastor urges every convert
to be present if possible.
An unique service is planned for the
evening. DR.. Howard will present the
subject, at is the Bold That Maketh

You should try and attend all of them.
For three weeks the gospel gun has

On Monday night, March 30th, the
members and friends will gather to

persons that united with the church
during these meetings are urged to be
present and receive the parting words
from Evangelist Nickerson, after
which refreshments will be served

Baptizing will take place the first

We can highly recommend Evangel-

tion that desires a Christian gentle
man and a gospel preacher to assist
them in revival meetings and Chris
tian virtues. We feel that lasting i'm
pressions for good have been made
in this community by his coming to
Denver by those that heard him.
Come and worship with us the clos
