The revival meetings which have
been in progress at the First Chris
tian church for the last three weeks
under the leadership of Eyangelists
Hutchinson and Mcdonald were
brought to a close last evening when
q lecture on our war with Spain was
given by Rev. Hutchinson. The lee
ture was illustrated by a number OF
stereopticon Views. It had been an
nounced that the lecture would be on
the subject, THE Philippines, but
the company of which the slides were
ordered sent the wrong slides, and in
consequence the subject OF the lee
ture was changed.
The speaker was an active particf-
pant of the military events during the
war with Spain and in his lecture
spoke with a first hand knowledge of
the subject. The views shown were
chiefly of naval battles during the
war. They illustrated, the sinking OF
the Maine, the harbor at Havana anu
the naval battle that took place there.
