OF Program for Coming Week.
Advance Man to
Evanse fist Scoville today will begin
| the last week of his Keokuk campaign.
The announcement was made late
last night by the revivalist's publicity
manager, although. he said, it had
been agreed by the ministers and Dr..
Scoville several days ago that the
meetings should continue until next
Sunday.
There was some question in the
minds OF DR.. Scoville as to whether
ne would close the revival tonight or
week later. When the matter was
preached in meeting Of the Minister
ial alliance at the Y. w. G. A. early
last week. the local pastors were I'm
an1mous In their protests against clos
ing tonight. They thought, said Mr.
Williams, the publicity man, that the
greatest work Of the entire campaign
Will be done this week. The last
week, they pointed out, should be
},
both from a standpoint Of converts and
general interest in the services.
Every effort will be put forth this
campaign the banner days of the
series Of services that have attracted
attention for a hundred miles around
Keokuk in the past six weeks. Last
night Chased the sixth week of the
meeting.
Many go Last Week.
Saturday night saw the total num-
Der OF trail hitters pass the 1900
mark. 1t has been the experience CT
DR.. Scoville, Mr.. Williams said. that
the last week sees nearly a third as
many persons go forward as have re-
sponded to the invitations in all the
previous weeks Of the campaign. Fig
uring upon this basis, the total num-
her o. trail hitters probably will pass
1000.
The total attendance in the cam
