REVIVAL IN PULL SWING.

The union revival meetings are now
in full swing, with services every
night except Saturday. The people
are receiving great intellectual
and spiritual stimulus under the
preaching of Evangelist Graybill, who
is q man having an exceptionally
strong personality. His outstanding
ability as a pulpit orator is attested
by the feet that he has delivered
series of addresses before the faculty
and student body of the University Of
Idaho. Mr.. Graybill is logical and
scripturally sound. Sensationalism is
taboo with him. He believes that
Christianity and common sense are
SYNONYMOUS terms. There is no abuse
of churches. Mr.. Graybill wants the
people to be Christians first of all.
He puts Christ in the foreground, not
the church, which he regards as only
medium of service for the follower
Of Christ
The participating churches will con-
duct their respective Sunday school
services and young peoples societies
a usual. But there will be preaching
services on Sunday only at the Com
munity church. Mr.. Graybill g topics
for Sunday are. as follows:
"what Think Ye of Christi"
"Who Will Go to Heavens"
The seating capacity of the church
will be increased for the Sunday SER
vices, 80 as to afford room for all
who may come. Beginning tonight,
there will be special music at every
service. There will be solos, quartets,
and duets. If you enjoy high-class
preaching and good music, you will en-
joy the meetings. If you can sing,
we shall appreciate your help in the
choir. We can make more room on
the platform if it is needed.
