In its report of a concert in that place

self well, and left a good impression upon
her audience, who highly appreciated ber
selections; in "The Flower Girl," "Jeesie's
Dream" and "Annie Laurie" her highly
cultivated voice was heard to good advan-
tage, but in "La Primavera" and "The
Holy City" were her vocal powers best
shown. Mies Fisher in her recitations as-
sumes a very natural style:in "The Goblins
will git yon, if you don't watch out," She
threw the mysterione fear of the child into
her recitation in a capital manner; "The
Grand Bumper Degree," "Old Ace," and
"The Swan Song," were all excellently
given." -

THE CLINTON NEW ERA,
Hunter - Crossley Meetings.
Large Crowds Greet the Well
Known Evangelists.
Messrs Hunter and Crossley, the well
known Canadian evangelists, held their
first services id this town on Sunday,
and have certainly commenced under
the most favorable circumstances, the
spirit of union prevailing thoroughly.
On Sunday morning Mr Crossley occu-
pied the pulpit of Willis Presbyterian
Church, and Mr Hunter that of the On-
tario Sb. Methodist church, In the af-
ternoon both addressed a mass meet-
ing in Willis Church, and in the even-
ing both spoke at the meeting in Rat-
tenbury St. Methodist Church. The
interest in all these services was such
that on the several occasions the differ.
ent churches were packed to their ut-
most capacity, and many were unable
to gain admission.
The services this week are being held
in the Ontario Street Church, a union
choir furnishing the music for thein,
while Revs. Stewart, Murduck, Cle-
ment and Milliard are also present. -
The building has been packed on each
occasion by audiences that pay close
attention to the speakers. The address-
es are of the character usually given at
revival services, but are altogether free
from what some persons regard as the
objectionable features of the old-time
revival. The evangelists simply aim at
the genuine conversion of the individ-
ual in a manner that harmonizes with
divine revuirements.
Sunday morning next Mr Hunter will
preach in Rattenbury St. Church, and
Mr Crossley in the Baptist church; Mr
Murduck in Ontario St. Methodist Ch.,
and Mr Milliard inWillis Presbyterian.
At 3.30 a meeting will be held in the
town hall, for men only, to be address-
ed by the evangelists on the subject of
"personal purity." At 7 o'clock Sun-
day evening there will be what MrHun-
ter calls "a double header" in the Pres-
byterian and Ontario St. churches,
both evangelists speaking in both
churches. Services in the Baptist and
Rattenbury St churches will be with
drawn for Sunday evening. Meetings
every evening next week except Satur-
day, in the Presbyterian church,
NOTES.
Mr Hunter was brought up in one po-
litical faith, Mr Crossley in another. -
Which is which?
Some years ago Crossley and Canfield
held special services here, the tormer
being a brother of Mr Crossley now
her e.
Fifteen years ago, before entering on
evangelistic work, Mr Crossley was in-
vited to the pastorate of RattenburySt
Church.
Mr Hunter is married, his wife and
family residing at St. Thomas. Mr
Crossley is unmarried, and is said to be
absolutely unsusceptible to feminine
char ms.
The evangelists pay whatever expen-
ses are incurred in connection with the
meetings, and are paid for their ser-
vices simply by the collections and vol-
untary offerings.
The executive committee, who are
looking after the general features of
the meetings, consists of the Presby-
terian, Baptist and two Methodist
pastors together with four laymen
from each church, Mr Jas. Scott is
chairman, Mr J. B. Hoover secretary,
and Jacob Taylor, treasurer, the exe-
cutive being divided into three com-
mittees: -Finance -1. Taylor, G. Swal-
low, D. K. Prior and:J. Taylor; ushers,
Jas. Scott, H. E. Hodgens, I. Prout, A.
Downs; workers—H Foster, D. Tip -
lady, D. McTavish and D. K. Prior.
Alluding to the farewell ge14ice held
by Messrs (Hunter and Crossley, in St.
George, the Sentinel, of thatplace,says:
"The resident pastors each spoke of the
vast amount of good derived from the
services, and wished Messrs. Hunter
and Crossley God speed in their noble
work, and the Sentinel but 'voices the
sentiment of the entire community in
doing likewise. The Sentinel would
fail in its duty if it did not draw atten-
tion to the unity of spirit in connection
with the series of meetings just closed.
For over four weeks the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian congrega-
tions have gathered in the one church,
knelt at the one altar, and worshipped
the one God. While they may differ
as to church government, and other
minor details, they can unite heart and
hand and say 'The Lord He is the God.'
May this unity of spirit spread through
all the earth.
