REVIVAL INTEREST INCREASES.

The close of the second week of the
meetings at the rink found no dimin-
uatiOn of interest. Men and women
and young people are making life de-
cisions almost every day. The attend
ance has not been what it would have
been had the weather been more fav-
orable. The country roads have been
quite impossible for the last week or
more, which keeps many who would
otherwise be here at home. However,
those who can come find that they are
well repaid for their efforts.
Last Sunday was another day of
great power and blessing. The morn
ing services at the churches were well
attended and in some of them people
took a stand for Christ In the after
noon there were three services. The
one at the rink for men only, was
conducted by Mr.. Potts, who spoke
from the text, He that willeth to do
shall know of the doctrine" He en-
phasized the fact that men can know
Gods will and mind and find salts
faction in such knowledge if they real
ly want to. He appealed to the men
to make Christ the king of their lives
and it was good to see three men step
out with courage and make an open
confession of their faith in the Son
of God.
In the Congregational church full
house heard the message delivered by
Dr. Toy, who spoke on woman at her
best" Woman is at her best in the
home, when Jesus Christ has hold of
her life. Those homes are sweetest
and happiest where the Christ spirit
prevails and many an unpleasantness
can be traced to the neglect of one or
all of the parties in taking Christ as
the ideal. This service was enriched
by the singing of a ladies quartet,
composed of Mrs. Sitter, Mrs. G. NJ.
Walker, Mrs. Weyhrauch and Mrs.
Rev. Schmidt. This quartet also sang
at the evening service at the rink.
Their singing was highly cOmpli-
mented by Prof. Balmond, the leader
of the revival music.
There was a meeting Of our young
people at the Methodist church which
was conducted by Miss Goble. Four
young people there decided for Christ.
In the evening the largest audience
Of the campaign nearly filled the rink.
DR.. Toy spoke from the text, "HOw
Shall We Escape if We Neglect So
Great Salvation" The preacher was
at his best and delivered a stirring
and compelling message. He makes it
plain in every sermon that without an
acquaintance of Jesus Christ there is
no salvation. This is the central
thought of every message, and is full
~ substantiated by Gods Word which
DR.. Toy unequivocally accepts as in
spired and containing the revealed
will of God "Why is the salvation
CREATE" he asked. For three reasons:
Because there is a great Saviour, a
saving from sin, and a keeping one
saved from sin. At the close of this
service about fifteen people signified
their willingness to accept Christ.
On Wednesday after school there
will be a meeting at the rink Of all
children from the ages of ten to four
teen for the organization Of sun
beam chorus. Prof. Balmond will be
in charge. Parents having children
of this age are requested to send them
at this hour.
On Thursday afternoon there will be
a service for old people. However,
everybody is invited. Carnations will
be given to all the aged and to those
who can not come flowers will be
