SERVICES CLosE.--Reviva,1 services were brought to a close last, Ftiday eveningin James St. church. A warm address by the Evangelist to the con- verts and the reception of a No. into membership. The following resolution which was carried by a standing vote, was presented to Miss Morton by the pastor to which she made a touching reply. Moved by T. B. Carling and seconded by Geo. Thomas.—On this the closing evening of these Evangelistic services, we desire to place on re- cord our heartfelt thanks to our Heavenly Fa- ther for the bountiful outpouring of His Holy Spirit, and our high appreciation of the Evan- gelist Miss Morton. who has conducted the ser- vices for the past three weeks. The entire membership of the church has been moved Those backslidden in heart havebeen reclaim- ed.. The faith of the younger part of the mem- bership in God and in the promises of His Word has been greatly strengthened. Those more experienced and aged in God's service have received a rich bapbsrn which will help them to greater victories in the future. The entire community has been benefitted beyond what any numerical results can indicate. Only Eternity may reveal the full results. We are thankful for the ingathering from the world. Many influential heads of families and young people have been subjects of many prayers, and much thought both in their homes and the Sun- day school have been added to the church, We start out. with greater unity and accumu- lated strength. For these results we are greatly indebted. to the faithful labors of Miss Morton among us. Her consecrated spirit, her earnest appeals, her eloquent sermons, so effectively delivered, land her honest fidelity and kindness of heart, have enabled her to win many souls for the Lora Jesus Christ. The impressions made by those services will not be short lived but will live in the entire community, and especially in the James St, Chhreh. While -we praise God from whelp all these blessings flow we give our hearty thanks to the Evangelist whom God has owned. We also recognize the constant and faithful labors of our pastor which, haveprepared the soil for this oneral ingathering to him; also WO are indebted for the introdUction of the Evan - oast among' as, and for his most hearty co -op - oration with her in the entire series of service*. We start out from this point with renewed courage and hope and pledge ourselves to greater fidelity in every department of Christ- ian Work, in • fir. -4 E.
