The Revival at the Christian Church.

Sunday was a big day at the Christian church. The revival spirit that was manifest in the singing and attention of the audience showed that the previous week’s meetings had wakened up the people. Especially was this manifest on Sunday night when an audience that packed the house passed into the service. Evangelist T. J. Legg delivered two excellent discourses. The one on Sunday morning was d chart sermon on “The New Testament Church.” At night his subject was “Scriptural Confession of Faith.” In this sermon he bore down hard upon the person who thought it was not necessary to make a public confession of one’s faith in Christ or to belong to church. He sighted Nicodemus as a cowardly be--1 lever and did not think he was saved because he was ashamed to come out and confess before men. So many were trying to be saved like the thief on the Cross, but this, he said, was a special case and that we must be saved in Christ’s own appointed way. The chorus work, both of the Sunbeam and the adult chorus, was exceptionally good and reflected the excellent work that the music director, Mrs. Calvert, is doing. Mrs. Calvert is one of the best chorus leaders that has ever come to Rensselaer. All that -she lacks is more singers, out of whi :h she may build up a great chorus. Prof. Beckwith’s organ recital was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The solo, “The Holy City,” was sung by Mrs Shore. This famous song was beautifully interpreted by a_yoice that was able easily to reach the high notes for which this piece is noted. Evangelist Legg’s theme for tonight ic “The Four Baptismal Ordinances of the New Testament." Mrs. Calvert will sing “The Dream of the Great Judgment Morning.” An organ recital each evening at 7:00; song service at 7:15; sermon at 8:00 o’clock; audience dismissed at 8:45. Come out and lhear these excellent gospel sermons and enjoy these meetings.
