OUR KEQ1A LETTER

Keota, April 20.-The union evan
gelistic meetings which have been
conducted in the Methodist church
nightly during the past four weeks
CLOSED with the Sunday night service.
They were demonstration of the
truth that'in union there is strength.
The results are very gratifying. The
church membership has been awak.
ened and revived; the spirit OF. fell
lowship and brotherhood between the
has been strengthen
ed; religious enthusiasm has been
aroused and religious sentiment per.
meates the town; one hundred and
six conversions were recorded and
many are under conviction who have
not, made a public declaration, of
faith. The meetings throughout the
four weeks were in charge OF A. X.
Harper, of the Harper Brush Works,
in Fairfield. Mr.. harper is layman
whose ability is far above the aver
age and whose time, talents and peck
.etbook are all consecrated to his re-
ligion. Much of the success OF the
meetings is due to his evident SINGER
ity and earnestness. He was ably as
sisted by big Bob" Meyer, of the
Moody Institute, who hau charge OF
the music. 'Bob's" singing Was de-
lightful and his personality won the
friendship of all. Every one was
sorry to say goodbye to these capable
men. The Sunday services were
perhaps the most enthusiastic of all
the services. The capacity OF the
church was not equal to the attend
ance at either the morning or even
ing services. 1t is estimated that
700 people were in the church for the
evening service and more than 100
were turned away. At the mems
meeting in the afternoon a gospel
team was organized which will meet
each Sunday afternoon, Joe McGraw
will be the leader for the first meet
ing. One conversion was reported
from the wOmen's meeting in the af-
ternoon. A number of the men,
beers of the Fairfield gospel team and
several ladies from Fairfield were
here for the afternoon and evening
services. There were IL conversions
at the evening service. A free will
Offering for. the. expense of the meet
ings was taken at the morning ser
vice and footed up to $500. Mr..
Harper would not accept any remun,
Grafton. His services were free.
Without doubt it was the most sue
cessful revival that has been held in
Keota for many years.
