Bloomington, III., Dec 27 Con version by telephone I* the latest feature of a series of revival meet- | ings in Illinois. Evangelists Hicks and Galloway. | holding revivals in the town hall at Nepotiset, have placed a huge mega phone at one side of the stage, the smaller end being attached to a tele phone transmitter. Every word spo j ken by the evangelists or sung by the choir is heard by families of 1S6 farmers having telephones in their homes, some many miles distant. Farmers have taken as great an interest in the great religious awak ening sweeping over many counties as people In cities and towns. They have made arrangements that tele phones are not to be used for other purposes than the transmission of sermons and songs except in cases of great emergency. Result* from this unique method I have been obtained, nine people be- 1 Ιηκ converted over the telephone at I the first service at Stronghurst.
