GOSPEL CAMPAIGN.
PARK THEATRE MEETINGS END
SUNDAY.
Effort Results in Large Accessions to the
Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and
Presbyterian Churches,
The union gospel meetings, under the
direction of Dr. Arthur J. Smith, evan
gelist of New York City, and Prof.
Chester F. Harris, singer, of Cleveland,
Ohio, closed on Sunday night with an
audience that packed the Park Theatre
to its fullest capacity, and a number of
people were compelled to return home
because there was not room for them.
They were the most successful union
meetings ever held in Reynoldsville,
net only in winning people from the
paths of sin to righteousness, but in
raising a large number of church
members onto a higher plane of
Christian living, and creating a warmer
fellowship between the churches en
gaged in the special work. Denomi
national lines were, apparently, obliter
ated during tbe progress of the meet
ings and all the workers seemed to have
but one object in view getting peop'
to become christians regardless of what
their church affiliation might be.
There was no friction or jealousy
manifested at any time.
Dr. Smith Is a scholarly man, an
admirable speaker and very careful and
conservative, and yet he preached. the
gospel regard loss of how hard he might
hit people who were not living up to
their profession. ' Few men are better
adapted to evangelistic work than Dr.
Smith. He commended himself to the.
people from the beginning, and carried-
away with him at bis departure, the
respect, confidence and love of all with
whom he came In contact. His modest,
unassuming bearing, his earnest de
votion to his work, his gentle winning
words and manner, made a very
favorable impression upon his auditors
and fellow workers.
The pianist, Miss Sara Corbett, the
chorus choir and a number pf workers
from various churches deserve credit,
for their- faithfulness and helpfulness,
during the meetings. L. M. Simmons,
the chief usher,: had more of a respon
sible and difficult position than many .
people imagined, but he perfound his
duties well.
There were six meetings on Sunday,
beginning with a meeting at 7.00 a. m.
In the Baptist church, which was well
attended. A large audience attended
the meeting in Park Threatre at 10.45.
a. m. There was a. men's meeting in
toe tneatre at a.uu peopie. . gins-
choir of 125 ' voices, lead by Miss Elvle
Coleman, sang at this meeting. The
Lotus male quartet, Dr. Harry B. King,
John Thornton, F. P. Alexander and
John F. Strauss, sang a couple of
selections, eight little girls, Marie
Jennings, Catherine Gillespie, Aldine
and Pauline Corbett, Grace Ewing,
Katie Hughes and Helen Smith, sang a
piece and little Helen Baum sang a
solo. At the same hour of tbe men s
meeting there was a meeting for women
in the M. E. church, led by Miss Elsie
Ross. . . .:.,
At 6 30 p. m. there was a prayer
meeting for men at Park Theatre and ,
at 7 30 the last service of the series.
Dr. Smith preached four times during'
the day, besides singing and Inviting
people to become christians, and at the
close of the last meeting seemed as
fresh as when be began the first
service in the morning.
It is not known yet what accessions
there will be to the churches as a result
of these meetings. Over 400 persons
Blgneu aeciaion uorun urnm ui
meetings. Their ohurch preference '
was as follows; Methodist Episcopal
174, Baptist 121, Presbyterian 106.
A free will offering was taken up for
Dr. Smith Sunday wbicb amounted to
J530.00. There was enough raised by
subscription and, collections before,
Sunday to pay Prof. Harris, pay rail-,
road fare and boarding for Dr. Smith,
and Mr. Harris, and all other expenses.
An itemized account of money received,
and expended will be published in The.
Star rext week.
Important Announcement
I desire to call tbe attention of my
pHtrimsand the general publlo to the
in snail? strong attraction which I have
bonked for Thursday, Feb. 7, "What
Happened to Jones," with Richard
Milton in the star role. The only way
I could procure the play was by offering:
a large guarantee, and I felt justified in
doing so, knowing the public would
apprt elate a play of such strong merit.
"What Happced to Jones" Is in a class
by itself. There never has been a
farce comedy written that causes such
abundance of laughter. There in not a
dull moment throughout the 3 acts, and
tbe comedy is thoroughly refined.' I
ha?e seen the newspaper criticisms
this company has received in tbe larger
cities, and, they are very flattering and
could not be improved upon. The
company tbat will present this play
here is the same cast intact that played
10 consecutive weeks at the Murry Hill
Theatre, New York. My personal
guarantee goes with above statements.'
All wbo attend will be treated to a
most enjoyable evening's entertainment.
Should anyone not be satisfied with
the performance, their money will be
cheerfully refunded by applying at the
box office after conclusion of first act.
Respectfully,
J. A. Blatdon, Manager,
Park Theatre,
