A definite plan war Inaugurated yes

In New York. F.lght hundred Invita
tions were sent out, nnd only sixty-live
men irspomled. These catnn to the Park
Avenue Presbyterian Church, llin ttev.
Charles W. Welch, pastor. The number
wan not regarded as discouraging, Mr.
Welch said, and It was announced that
from now on meetings will be held every
Monday. The next one Is to be at the
same church
It was announced nt this llrst meeting
that the I lev Hills Sunday cannot bo.
secured for New York earlier than 1917,
If then. This fact tho committee on In
vitation made public. Thn effort Ix to
be made, therefote, to get up u revival
Hi New York without Sunday, one at
least to keep New York religious until
Sunday arrives, as one speaker said
The Initial meeting yesterdav did not
go Into details. It did not set forth de.
plorablo conditions. It prayed. Among
those who made prayers were tho Hev. Dr.
John Henry Jewett, the Hev. Dr Hoberl
Wateon and the Hev William T. Crocker
The Hev. James V. Chalmers of Holy
Trinity Fplscopal Church, the minister
who Is criticising Mayor Mltchel for not
enforcing the excise laws, was severe
upon New York ministers. He said:
"As mlnlstens we are buy. We don't
a. revival.
The chairman. Mr Welch, gave It as
his opinion that any promised revival
must permeate the whole city. If It Is lo
do so It must Include the HomHn Cntho
lies and the Jews, he declared, The
Hev Dr, Jowett also said the time was
ripe for a great revival Alrout half
of the men prenent were laymen One
of thn lav men, deploring the fact that
Sunday canrot come at this time, said
he had Just come from Philadelphia,
where lie hail heard John Wanatnaker
make public announcement to the effect
that enough Philadelphia men and
women, owing the w.mnmcKer store

long regarded hs bad debts, had
