At the People’s church, Court street, yesterday was a very interesting day— the last of the preparation for the coming of “Singing Evangelist” Greenwood. A baptismal service, fol- lowed by a Bible reading on *Com- passion” by Pastor Harriman, lifted the spiritual interest to a high level. The climax of fervor and consecra- tion to the Greenwood meetings was reached as the large assembly cele- brated the Lord’s Supper. The same hopeful and expectant tone was manifest at the Young Peo- ple’s meeting before the evening ser- vice, the young people showing great _interes( in the coming special meet- ings. Pastor Harriman preached in the vening one of the most impressive of his long series on “Revival'—the spe- cial topic being the relation of “con- victions” to power and success in the Christian life and in revival work. Two points especially were empha- sized and illustrated: Men are “lost”, and it is the first bysiness of Christ- ians and the churcH to go out and find them and bring them to Jesus. There were many moist eyes when Pastor Harriman closed his impassioned ap- peal for convictions and consecration to this work of soul-saving. The Greenwood meetings will be held till further notice, beginning to- morrow afternoon at 3, and evenings at 7:45 o’clock. Thanksgiving day but one meeting will be held, at 7 in- stead of 7:45. Tn the forenoon of that day Mr. Greenwood will be heard in song at the Union Thanksgiving ser- vice at the First church, assisting Pastor Harriman of the People's churcH who will be the preacher on that occasion.
