! beginning the twelfth OF March,
there will be held in our city, the
greatest Religious effort ever at
tempted by the church of Grand Rap
ids. Irrespective Of denominational
utilization the churches who have uni
ted some officially, and some unoffi-
ciaily, are saying to the community
| by their action in this matter, they
are united and with one accord for the
furthering of the essential of the
| Gospel which they all preach in COM
mon and that during this period of
about five or six weeks, every other
| matter will as far as is possible, be
laid aside and they will all be found
trying to win men to the Kingdom of
God and His Righteousness.
They have secured a company of
men and women who have devoted
their lives to this work and who come
with test 1nonials both of character
and usefulness.
That the citizens of Grand Rapids
may know something of the condi-
tons and portion of the men and
churches giving this invitation we are
publishing the official invitation to
the Nelson Evangelistic Party.
