The Revival Meetings at the M. E. Church.

• The revival meetings at the Trinity M. E. church/ are taking on strength with each service, Sunday was a great day of victory and power. Dr. A. T. Briggs preached in the morning to a full house and many came into the church, and the children’s meeting at 2:30 and young j>eople’s at 3:30 were well attended and with good results. At night Mrs. Fell preached a powerful sermon on “Eternity—Where?” This sermon went home to the hearts of the hearers. Monday night slie spoke from the text in Luke 19th chapter, the Conversion of Zaeharus. Zachurus was an extraordinary conversion and special mention is made of this case. Jesds called him and he immediately came down from the sycamore tree, where he had climbed, and acknowledged Jesus as his Savior. He could name the day when he heard .Jesus speak, and he obeyed Him, and so can we. Zachurus gave evidence of the genuineness of his conversion by making right the wrongs as far as possible. He was willing to give and make right any he had wronged by restoring to them fourfold.

Genuine work today will be made jknown by squaring old debts. This: sermon bore fruit, several 'seekings came forward.

Meetings every night this week. Gay meetings at 2:30.
