After three weeks Of quite sue
cessful meetings, the revival at the
Methodist church closed Sunday night
last. They would have been continued
for week or, more longer if the con-
dition OF the roads and weather had
been so as to have made it possible
for the people living in the country to
have attended. For the three weeks
that the meetings have been in prog
ress there has hardly been day that
has been fair or a night that has not
been stormy, or. so dark as to preclude
a country attendance. Part of the
time the roads have been blockaded
with snow; part OF the time it has
been pouring down, rain; part OF the
time the mud deep in places, while
other places were treacherous because
OF the giving away of the beaten track
over drifts of snow; even in the light
of the moon twas so dark and foggy
as to make going very discouraging.
Rev. Adams says that in twenty years
OF his ministry he has never had
such. unfavorable conditions for con-
Quoting a revival meeting. Yet. in
the face OF all this, there has been a.
good attendance and good results. The
church has been greatly ,quickened
and there have been several convers-
ions. Some OF the members have been
quite faithful in attendance, coming
from three to five miles through all
kinds OF roads and weather. The in
terest in the meetings was increasing
to the last, so much so that there was
general sadness because the condi-
tons were such as to make it impOss-
IDLE to get under the desired moment
UNI.
Mr.. James Dawson, OF College
Springs, gave universal satisfaction
as leader OF the music, and his solos
were greatly appreciated, because OF
their splendid rendition in distinction
and volume of voice, the power OF the
spirit in t..em and the life OF the man
back OF them.
Rev. Adams, conducted his own
services throughout the series and 1t
is universally conceded that his SER
mons, taken as whole or individual
ly, were OF of the highest order ever
given here. Mr.. Adams has Q way,
all his own, Of getting at the heart OF
his themes that commands the atten-
ion and interest OF every person with
in hearing. ALI regret that it was
deemed advisable to discontinue the
services at this time.
