listic campaign, which has been in
progress for three weeks in our city.
Mr.. Faulconer is booked by the COM
mittee which directs his work, TO be-
gin another series of meetings ON
Tuesday next
Only the most unusual conditions
/ would justify the request on the part
OF the ministers of Annapolis that Mr.
Faulconer be continued here But
such a request will doubtless be made
in the event that the services Of to
morrow point to the wisdom of doing
so. Every effort has been made to
plan services for Sunday that may an

to everybody. but it is the young peo-
pie especially who are in the minds Of
the evangelist and the ministers.
Mr. Faulconer will make the ad-
for those who have followed his
preaching through this campaign to
believe that the address WI command

coner says. are invited tc be present
in the First Metlo list Episcopal
Church To 2ear the preacher and the
singer tomorrow afternoon
The evening service OF tomorrow
will be held ut 7.30 O'Clock. Many
persons are hoping that this may not
be the closing service of the cam
paign, but that it may be arranged for
Mr.. Faulconer TO continue longer in
Annapolis. According TO the view OF
the most interested observers, the
meetings have just about reached the
height of influence, so that they feel
that they ought to continue JUS
what tie arrangement may be,camot
be stated at this time
The only announcement that the
ministers are abe to make is that
Mr. Faulconer viii preach at the un-
ion evening service tomorrow. All Of
the churches which have been engag-
ing in the campaign will be closed and
the union meeting viii be held in the
First NJ. Z. Church. Mr. Bennett will
sing some of his beautiful gospel
songs
There was great congregation
/ present at the meeting OF last even-
| ing The attendance was the largest
/ on any week night of the campaign,
/ and the interest was deep At the
| close of the service there were a num-
! Der who came forward and gave their
/ hand to the evangelist as an indication
! of their intention to follow the Christ
/ ian life. II will be Interesting to those
who have followed the work Of Mr.
! Faulconer in Annapolis to know that
about sixty per cent Of those 'ybo
have Deen converted in these meetings
| have been men. Some VIII remember
that the evangelist stated that in one
| of his addresses that women are mtch
! harder to reach and persuade 10 be
| Christians than men. At the time this
statement was objected to by some Of
his hearers. The fact of the present
series of meetings seem to to indicate
the correctness Of his position.
Mr. Faulconer is an evangelist Of
such wide experience that his hearers
ought to be ready TO accept any state
ment he may make The work here
sets the seal to the truth cf w:lat Re
has said ia reference to winning meE
to be followers of Christ
Last nights sermon was different
from any that Mr. Faulconer had
preached being in the narrative style
and therefore difficult to report in the
columns OF newspaper. The text
was from Romans SIS. God commend
eth His love toward Us in that while
we were yet sinners Christ died for
us" The evangelist said that it is a
great thing TO know that God loves the
world. Notody ever has TO do any
thing to get God 10 love him. But the
best of all is That God loves each ore
of MS Individually Christ died tor al
men but it was for each che as much
IS If there had been no other one for
whom to die.
