Revival Meetings Continue.

Myron E Taylor, who has been con-
Quoting a series of evangelistic services
at Belmont, will open meetings at the
Methodist church in this city on Sun
day. Feb 18th. The Belmont Success
of last week comments as follows on
his work:
.'The congregations at all the Sunday
services were unusually large, and es-
pecially at the opera house in the after
noon where Rev. Taylor addressed a
large temperance mass meeting, and at
the evening service in the M. f..
church, which was announced to be
the closing service of a series. Evange-
list Taylor proved Sunday afternoon
that he could deliver a temperance adj
dress as well as preach an evangelistic
sermon.
cat the close of the Sunday evening
services it was expressed by large
majority of the congregation that it
would be a wise move to continue the
meetings another week. This will com
pei him to move all his appointments
for the entire year ahead a week. Thus
far the meetings have been great
success, and it is believed that this
campaign will mean much to the loca
chr tch and the entire community. /
is hoped that all will endeavor to avail
themselves of the final week and b'
present as much as possible. Service!
will be held each night as last week,
but the announcements of subjects
etc, will be given from the pulpit. y
