ing to the christian church on behalf
of the young ladies who clerk in our
stores, act as stenographers and teach
in the public schools.
| One of the most pleasing parts of
the campaign was the music. Mr..
Charles Forsythe. son Of the evangc-
list and his wife, is remarkable young
man as O musical leader. He has the
capacity to bring ont quickly the best
music in a composition and to arouse
the singers to do their best. He is
also possessed of fine tenor voice
and his solos have been very impress.
|sire. He has composed a most touch.
ing sacred selection since he has been
at Denison and the people were favor
ed by hearing it the first time in pub
lie. He aroused the enthusiasm of the
boys and girls by organizing a booster
club. thereby insuring their close at
tention at all the meetings. A consid-
Grafton OF the music would not be
complete without reference to the
pianist, Mr.. Rhodes. He certainly has
a mastery of the piano and his accom-
paniments left little to be desired in
strength and taste. He soon became
popular because of his joyous. happy
manner and the antics which he per
formed in connection with his work
upon the piano. He was married on
last Monday at Cedar Rapids and ref
ence to the coming event caused much
merriment at many OF the opening
hours of the meetings. In recognition
OF the coming event, Miss Grace
Meyers, at whose residence, Mr. Chas.
Forsytke and Mr.. Rhodes had rooms,
opened her home to the members OF
the choir on Thursday evening. 1t
was a joyous, happy party in which all
took part, including the evangelist.
who was as much of a young person
as anyone in the crowd.
Rev. Afford was the business man..
agcr and efficient worker. 1t was the
plans which he developed and saw
carried out which made the meetings
such success. His prayers for the
meetings and for the converts were
most fervent and he is entitled to great
credit for the part which he took in
the campaign.
The success OF the meetings was not
alone in the talks of the evangelist,
but in the earnest cooperation of
the wives, mothers and sisters of the
city. These held daily prayer meet
ings, where the husbands. brothers,
sons and daughters who it was felt
should confess conversion at this time,
were prayed for with earnestness and
faith which would not think OF failure.
The workers who went nightly from
individual to individual won the high.
est words of praise from the evange-
list.
Fhe meetings have come and
gone and for many there will be great
regret that they cannot hear further
the strong sermons, sthas delig htfui
music gafad Witness the goins forward
Of their loved ches. and friends. The
churches are fully alive to tho respon.
sibility which has been placed upon
them by the incoming of many hun
dreds and during many evenings this
week meetings are held where the con-
verts arc expected to attend and to
prepare themselves for admission into
full membership after action taken by
the pastors and the otficiary. The
expressed his thanks to all
Tor the support which has been given
him, to Mr.. Charles Tabor for donating
the convenient lots for the use OF the

men who had helped SO literally from
4 financial point OF view. On Monday
morning tho evangelistic party took
heir departure for Upton. where an.
other campaign is now under way.
