GALENA BOOSTS REVIVAL
Methodist Sweep" At the Tabernacle
Thursday Night-ShOrt Talks
Made from Car Platform

Last night proved one Of the best
nights of the Hamilton-Brock taber-
nacle revival campaign so far. There
was large congregation present and
more than one hundred Galena Boost
ers,' who came to Baxter in q special
car to attend the meetings. The sing
ing was exceptionally good and Evan
gelist Hamilton preached a strong
sermon on "The Lost Is Found" Two
persons responded to the invitation.
Thursday night was announced as
Methodist Sweep" night. Rev. Or
ton, who was present in the audience
last night, introduced the idea in a
brief speech during the announce
ments BY saying that it was his de-
sire and the desire of the Methodist
people to lend all the help possible to
the meetings and to enjoy the good
things in connection with the revival
along with the Christian church. He
asked if it would be Of any help to
the revival to designate Thursday
night as Methodist "sweep" night for
the Methodist church and his ques-
ton was greeted with an outburst OF
applause. Evangelist Hamilton re-
piled by saying, "Yours truly, forev-
er and ever, Brother orton. The re-
ply was likewise applauded and as a
consequence a section of the big wood
en- shed will be reserved Thursday
night for all Methodists living in the
city.
A challenge was issued to the tab
enacle Sunday school by the Galena
Sunday school last night to see which
would have the largest attendance
next Sunday. At the close of the ser
vice the Galena delegation was ac-
companied by large part Of the con-
gregation to the special car and given
goodnight" reception. BRIEF
speeches were made by Rev. Cameron
pastor Of the Galena Christian church,
and Mr.. Dow Moore, a wholesale and
retail business man of Galena, from
the car platform. Mr.. Moore said that
the Baxter people would be sorry they
hadn't done more for the revival al
ter the meetings were over. He said
that nearly five hundred converts
were made by Evangelist Hamilton
in Galena q few years ago in a meet
ing like this.
