FIFTY VOICES HELP.
Bloomfield Christian Church Revival
a Great Success—An Excellent
Chorus.
Bloomfield, Jan. 28.—(Special.)—The
meeting at the Christian church last
night was the best in the series. Sup
plemental to the sermon was an illus
tration in 5 chapters of "Life in the
Old Home," from babyhood to old
age, showing and impressing upon one
how the earlier training and memories
stay with one even to old age. The
mother sang to her babe a verse of
"Nearer My God to Thee." The in
fluence of the song passed down
through the Ave generations. The last
chapter was supposed to be at the
funeral of the Old lady. When the
choir sang very sweetly a verse of
the song. There were tears in many
eyes at the conclusion of this very
impressive part of the evening service.
The sermon "A Chart Lecture on
Conversion," was a strong one and
Rev. Bruce Brown made it plain to
all the necessity of right living.
Miss Mabel Swift favored the audi
ence with a solo and after the invita
tion, to which six responded, J. P.
Garmong sang the beautiful hymn
"Plant My Feet on Higher Ground,
into which he threw much feeling. Al
the close of the service six were bap
tised.
Tonight Rev. Brown's sabject will
be "Governed by Ghosts." J. P. Gar
mong will sing a solo each evening. A
choir of fifty voices help to make the
meetings very interesting.
