DOW CITY ITEMS.


The last week at the tabernacle re.
vival meetings has been one of steady
and satisfactory progress. The Cole.
grove Evangelistic party beyond ques'
ton, is the strongest evangelistic par
ty that has ever come into Crawford
county. On several occasions, the
spacious tabernacle has been nearly
filled. Sunday night the audience
came near reaching the four figure
mark and if 100 more had attended,
the building would have been packed
to the doors, and extra chairs would
have had to have been used or many
would have had to stand. The mems
meeting in the afternoon reached the
two hundred mark, and fully as many
ladies attended the women's meeting
at the Methodist church where Mrs.
Colegrove spoke.
The coming Sunday, there doubtless
will also be large gatherings OF the
ladies at the women's meeting at the
Baptist church, and at the mems meet
ing at the tabernacle at three o'clock.
Although only three invitations have
been extended as this goes to press,
about fifty persons have stepped out
publicly confessing Christ as their
Savior, and have declared that with
Gods help, they are going to lead and
live the Christian life.
1t is expected that the neighboring
towns during this week. will send
good delegations. Fair delegations
have already attended these meetings
from nearby towns.
The running expenses OF the cam
paign are already provided for and
the last collection was taken Friday
night except one, which was the usual
Sunday morning Offering Of the envel-
Opes of the supporters of the church
es. There will be no more collections
taken until the last Sunday, one week
from the coming Sabbath, when Offer
ings will be taken at each service,
which offerings go to Evangelist Cole
grove.
If we had together all of the criti-
cisms and doubtings and kicks and
ridicule that were so freely given
when the tabernacle campaign was
first projected, and the building was
being erected, we would have enough
material to print good sized book.
II we could get together the words Of
praise that are now being voiced, and
much of it from those who were OPP
posed to the undertaking at first, we
would have another volume. And be-
fore the meetings close, enough will
have been said of 4 cOmmendatOry
character to print several volumes.
In fact it now looks as il the fellow
who will still be knocking the taber'
nacle meetings two weeks hence will
not have much trouble in proving to
the public whether he is in or out
Of the church, what q sore-head-of.a
sinner he is. Say, Mr.. Kn0cker, which
is better for a town, the pOOl-hall, card
dens, or the tabernacle? Oh, so you
say that you kick against both? Then
your case is chronic one, is It? Ii
SO, then everyone of your knocks is a
boost. Some fellows are such big
men they can sometimes acknowledge
they were mistaken. Others are so
small they have to knock the best
things that come to town. Nothing
succeeds like success" Nothing
makes the knOcker sorer than to be
knocked down by his own knocks. The
people who support good things are
realizing that Dow City is in the
midst of good revival. 49,.

One of the main attractions at the
tabernacle the past week was the pa.
triotic program put on by the Con-
ners on Tuesday night. The program
consisted of appropriate readings,
singing, etc. One of the most strik-
ing features was the singing of 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner, by Mrs. Con.
ner during which her daughter, Miss
Helen, who was dressed to represent
Columbia, made the song more i'm.
pressive by motions. Evangelist
Colegrove gave splendid address
