Army to Have Many
Services Tomorrow

The Salvation Army "old fash
Toned" revival meetings, which have
been in progress a0kheArmyhall, 1l2
Main avenue, since last Wednesday,
are still making good progress.
Crowds and interest are increasing.
Another effective service was con-
Quoted last night. A large number
Of persons have already knelt at the
altar for special prayer, manifesting
a desire to be better Christians, and
lead more holy, and consecrated lives.
Tomorrow, it is believed, will be q
'red letter. day for the Army in
Bismarck, and many services have
been announced for the day. Monday
night will be the final service of the
revival. and will be one much out of
the ordinary. A musical concert Of
80 minutes will begin at 1880, and at
8 o'clock Adjutant Westbrook will
contrast the consequences Of the
righteous and the wicked with scrip
ture from the Bible, quoting it out
right.
It is expected that Commandant
and Mrs. Hugh Percy Of Minot, who
not long ago were in charge Of the
Salvation Army work in this city,
will be present at that meeting, and
other Salvationists may be here to
attend the special service.
