Thera [s an impression In cortain quarters that tho smatiness of tho publlc meetings for the past two wecks Indicates that tho revivalis running out, but (¢ 1s safe to sy that moro act- ual work of leading souls to Chrlst las Dbeen done during tha last ten days than during any consceutive ten days of the whole series of meet- fngs.

The earth could bo thrown over on either slde, thus rafsing the grade, and the expenss would 'not be warth more than 8 to 15 cents a cuble yard, Thosfdes of the drain could be finistied off ornamentally 80 a8 to make it attractivo.
