CHRISTIAN CHURCH PROSPERS

The First Christian church has just , closed a week of meetings, the re- ! suits of which were much greater : uhan the average revival. The meet- ! ings were conducted entirely by home talent. Aside from the member* | added to the church, a fine spirit was' ■ developed in the congregation. The [-last night, which was Monday evening, was conducted primarily as a bastismal service. Although it was Monday evening, the largest crowd was present. With the exception of one other revivial and the Sundays, the largest number came forward in j this service. Not in many years had i there been as many baptized at one time in the church. It will be a beautiful sight next Sunday morning to see more than sixty people received into the church at the morning service . Because of the interest manifested to the last, it is evident , that many will come next Sunday i and the following Sundays. Already sixty-three have been added to the : church.
