HUNDREDS ATTEND MEETING
 HELD FOR WOMEN
Evangelist Linden Preached His Ser
 mon The Ideal Woman.

The First Baptist church. small in numbers as far as members are con- cerned, but big in faith, is rejoicing and happy over the victory which came Sunday in the revival campaign which is being held there Folks who were in doubt about this church yenturing in such a big project as to get two evangelists to come and lead them are happy in the fact that the little church has made good. In the three services yesterday the people dropped nearly $175 into the pans to help pay current expenses, and there were 179 trail hit ters, of which S1 were converts, live brought church letters and SS were
 members of the church who came for ward and gave the evangelist their hand, pledging a new consecration and indictment weather, every service had splendid crowds and all exhibited a wonderful and a marvellous interest.
 The one remarkable feature of yes terday's meetings was the service given for women and girls only in the afternoon, when Evangelist Linden preached his sermon on The Ideal Woman. The women tra1nped through the rain and well filled the main audi torium. After the service every woman in the building, nearly f5o strong, came forward and gave the evangelist their hand as believing in all that the higher Christian womanhood stands for. Grandmothers, mothers, maiden
 
 and all kinds of girls were represented at this meeting and every one went away happy from the meetings over the success granted.
 The one really and very great thing about which so many are remarking is- the fact that this small churcn in this meeting has gathered together such a wonderful choir both for adults and for youths. The mixed chorus yesterday sang at all the services as if AU fI1 oI,a The Rooster boys and girls on Satur- day night won the hearts of the people with their program of songs stunts and yells They will again sing next program. the special feature of which will be the sins lA.. interpretation of that song whicfNis making the U. s. dry, namely, De Brewers Big Hosses.
