Two Hundred and Thirty-eight Con-

versions Resulted and Entire Com

munity Quickened—Last Day was

the Greatest—A Never-to-be-for-

gotten Scene Sunday Night—Fifty-

eight Conversions Sunday. The greatest revival meeting ever held in Greenfield or at least in recent years came to a close Sunday night at the Bradley M. E. church with probably the greatest service of the series and one that will never be forgotten by those who participated especially and the hundreds who were spectators. At the Saturday night and Sunday services there were more than half a hundred conversions. Saturday night the church was crowded to overflowing. The meeting lasted until a late hour and resulted in ten conversions.

Sunday morning a collection was taken for the evangelists amounting to more than $250 and this sum was swelled to $304 at the evening service with but little effort.

The results of the Sunday afternoon service were certainly wonderful, twenty young men and women, boysand girls being converted. This service was not dismissed but was continued into the preliminary service, Epworth League service and service for the young converts, 411 beginning at 6 o'clock and continuing until 7 when the evening service began. The two center tiers of seats in the auditorium were reservedjfor the converts and those who were in the preliminary service. The remaining space was crowded and packed with scores standing in the outside aisles.

As the music and singing led by Prof. Stovers filled the great church with a joyous sound, the converts, almost two hundred in number, marched from the upper chamber, led by the pastor, Rev. C. E. Line and the evangelist, and were seated in the places reserved for them. It was certainly a grand sight and one that impressed every one present.

A thrilling song service followed. Prof. Stover, who sings and plays in an inspired manner, seemed to thrill the singers with his life and energy and earnestness.

The sermon of Mr. Johnson at the last service was about heaven. The text was taken from John 14:2-3. "In my Father's house are many man-

are

sions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also." The sermon was not only powerful and eloquent, but was pleasing and convincing in every way and made a deep impression on the hundreds of hearers When the sermon was over the converts all formed in a circle about the room, the line extending down to the pulpit where the pastor, Rev. Line stood with Mr. Jacob Catt, 89 years old, the oldest convert on one side and a little girl eight years old on the other side. It was a scene that was never witnessed before in this city, and may never be ^witnessed again As the converts formed an unbroken circle and sang "Blessed Be the Tie That Binds" it was certainly a grand and impressive scene and one that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. When the circle was broken the converts and older workers went out. into the audience and led people to the altar. Men, women, girls and boys and children were converted until the total number was thirty-eight when the service finally came to a close at 11 o'clock, thus bringing the greatest revival in the history of the city to a triumphial climax, the last service being the greatest and most impressive of the series that continued during the entire month. Ndt only the Methodist church, Ijiut every church in the city and the entire community will be benefitted and uplifted.

Brakeman Caught Between Two Freight

Cars and Horribly Mangled. Shirley, Feb. 1st.—M. O. Lucas, a brakeman on the Michigan division of the Big Four road, received horrible injuries near the depot Monday morning when he was dragged about thirty feet between two cars of a northbound freight. Lucas, contrary to standing orders, stepped between two cars to adjust the coupling and his foot got caught in a frog. The train started up and before the .unfortunate man's condition was discovered he had been horribly mangled and disemboweled.

A local physician was called and informed the trainman that nothing could be done for Lucas. He was taken on to Anderson, where he died three hours later. He was about 22 years old, unmarried and lived at Anderson.' W

Heard by Scores of Men at Mass Meet

ing—Was an Inspiring Theme and

Well Presented. The address of Robert J. Aley, State Superintendant of Public Instructions, at the men's mass meeting Sunday on the subject "St. Paula True Type of a Christian Gentleman" was heard and appreciated by a representative audience of men at the Christian Church. Mr. Aley was introduced by Prof. W. C. Goble and launched into his talk which was an inspiring one, Mr. Aley said he was glad for the remarkable move of men towards the best things and the organized interest among men young and old in studying great problems of right living.

Taking up his theme, he said St. Paul was the greatest man next to Jesus Christ. He was born into a rich Jewish family and had all that wealth and culture could give. He sat at the feet of the greatest teacher of his time an apt scholar. He rose rapidly to fame and power and was a ruler in the church of his da He had the best education of any one who lived in his time. He was a great Greek scholar, knew the Jewish history and laws, etc., and Roman history and law although he was a narrow adherent to his church. When the conviction came to him that Jesus Christ the Nazarene presented the new form of right living, he accepted it and became enthusiastic in the cause. Paul, he said was peculiarly fitted by training, temperament, nationality and family to give form to the teachings of Jesus Christ and bring a great organization out of the teachings. Paul, he said contributed wonderfully to Christian religion. He was fitted to carry the influence of the sermon on the Mount to the people everywhere, and perpetuate its truths. Next to Jesus Christ Paul is responsible, he said for the great church organization. Paul was able to present the simple truths of Christianity and his complete education enabled him to seen the Various beliefs. He was all things to all men, adaptable to I conditions. A man of intense faith backed up with the best action that a trained mind could suggest. He was resourceful, while his faith was in tense, he did not pray and then sit down for results, but went out to help bring about to the best of his ability, the things he prayed for. Paul was gentleman and the speaker said he was sorry that the term could not be applied to some professing Christians Paul was able to pick out the truths in other beliefs and bring out the larger truths. He considered the rights and privileges of his fellows and was enabled to reach them quickly and impress them with his life. The address as given by Dr. Aley was certainly a great appeal to the best and highest and most noble impulses of the hearers. He had a great theme and brought out the great life of St Paul vividly.

HAD HARROW ESCAPE

Luther Frost Came Near Having Col

lision With T. H., I. & E. Car Mon

day. Luther Frost had a narrow escape from a collision with a T. H., I. & E. limited car at 8:43 o'clock Monday morning on West Main street. Mr. Frost drove his automobile down Noble street and undertook to cross the street car track. The front wheels of his machine were on the track when the car was upon him. Hp turned his machine so quickly that some of the parts were strained and the fender was grazed by the car, which stopped as soon as possible. The crew came back to where Mr. Frost was, but finding him uninjured and the machine only slightly damcontinued on their way.
