tants Are Doing Good Work
With Revival In Progress

The third meeting of the series Of
revival services which are being con-
Quoted at st. Johns Methodist church,
continued the same line OF spiritual
earnestness that has been manifest
led In the. two previous services.
| The tev. Mr.. Danner began the
praise service OF song ptomptiy at
eight O'Clock His efforts to esilist all
OF the people in the singing met with
marked success, and was d great mn
provement on tho singing OF the pre-
ceding evening. The choir was also
much larger, having resolved many
additions from the other choirs OF the
city. MIR. Danner is stressing the i'm
portance of this part OF the service,
regarding 1t as helpful preparation
for the receiving OF the preachers
message, Under Mr.. Dauner's compe-
tent leadership and with his earnest
efforts 1t is confidently expected that
each nights singing will be better
than that of the preceding night.
I Mr.. Speak assumed chatg5 OF the
services Mt eight twenty and started
st once with his characteristic
earnestness to present moving ges-
Ipcl mecsage. As on th9 proceeding
evening. bc stated that he did not ey-
pect to teach or to explain, or even
to direct the minds of his hearers
/ primarily to the sermon, but rather to
preach, and especially to preaci, with
la view to convicting of sin and of the
need of the Savior. He continued to
press his plea for more 5ital tex-
tperimental religion. illustrating the,
Hacks of this by ineideIits ! from an
easy goiny ministry and from the. In

the unfaithfuiness of some ministers
and particularly the diffidence of
protesting Christians. all came, In for
some severe criticism. rhe Iosr con-
dition Of the world, the opeI SOC Of
society and the. irreiigion generally
of many communities, are q srissicieiit
challenge to the faith and efforts ef
every. true Christian. and yet they are
carcely distrusted at all by .nesa con-
ditions. Not until the protesting
Christian world gets ION fire with q
passion for souls, and hIIed with the.
power of the. Holy Spirit. can these
conditions be changed and Christ
crowned king. In words bnGbhiig Uy-
er with earnestness, Mr. Speahe plead
with the Christians present to give
themselves TO sacrifcal prayer for,
the salvation of their Lost loved ones
and friends and for the world.
