THE REVIVAL SERVICES.

A Great Religious Awakening at the Christian Church. The evangelistic services being conducted by Rev. Herbert Yeuell at the Christian church continue to increase in power. The large house is packed night after night. Monday flight is regarded as an off evening, but a great throng pressed into the service. The song service led by the singing evangelist, Mr. Speer, is always a great inspiration. EVteryone seems to be Allied with a desire to sing or take some part in the service. Mr. Yeuell spoke Monday night on “Future Recognition*.” His sermon' was full of biblical proof of the fact that in the future we shall know each other. He said hmong the punishments that would come to the disbeliever in Christ was that of not being with their Christian friends, though they would know of their happiness in heaven. After an earnest exhortation for all who had not accepted Christ to do so, eight came forward to become Christians, making fiftysix since the meetings began. ». In an after-service the ordinance of baptißm was administered to eleven candidates. / . The meetings will continue from night to night over Sunday. On Saturday night Mr. Yeuell will give another one of his very popular illustrated lectures. This one will be on “Quo Vadis.” In recognition of these revival services the business houses of the city will close their places of business at 7:30, allowing those who desire to attend ttye meetings to do so.
