ZION BAPTIST CLOSES SUCCESS.
Full REVIVAL SERVICES.

Zion Baptist Church concluded the
greatest revival in it's history last Sun
day evening, when large number OF
souls was added to its membership. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
there was never such a soulstirring
among the people Of our race, as in
the past three weeks when the Rev. d.
e. over conducted a series OF meet
ings with such practical sermon top
les as to cause religious awakening
among the careless and indifferent
and also the giving of refreshment to
those already within the fold.
The system of religious working
and training instituted by the pastor
for the seeking and saving of souls
has commended itself to the commun-
ity, and there is every reason to hope
that ZION as a powerful agency for
good will be greater established in the
City of Denver.

The Irish Potato.

The Irish potato is native of Sout.
America; was introduced into Spai
in the early part of the sixteenth cen
tury, and into England by Sir Waltei
Raleigh in 1885; was regarded at frs
as a curiosity, and it's use as an ar
ticle of food made slow progress. Ii
1868 the Royal society of London rec
commended it as a possible Safeguard
against famine among the Irish peas
antry, but the British Encyclopedia
says that "its cultivation in England
made but little progress, even though
it was strongly urged by the Roya
society, and not much more than {
century has elapsed since its cultiva
tion on large scale became general.
1t is sometimes called the Irish po
tato because it is a favorite article
of food il Ireland. The failure of the
crop in Ireland several years, espe
cially in 1S46, caused famine, which
was followed by disease, from which
many thousands died. In 1885 an in
ternational potato exhibition was held
at the Crystal palace, L, ndon, and in
1886 the three hundredth year of the
introduction of the potato into Eng
land was celebrated at Westminster
