Sweeping In his statements, nnd compelling In power, Evangelist E. C. Miller has been conducting a revival here which has attracted the attention of the entire countryside, and resulted In bringing almost 1,000 souls to Christ, during the pant five weeks. The converts include many prominent and well known persons. The Rev.

Miller has won the hearts of the people through his personality and vigorous warfare against sin. There is nothing of the slangy, sensational manner in his methods, but he vehemently denounces sin, and false doctrines; while he tenderly and pleadingly entreats the sinner to see the peace and Joy In a Christian life. That the Rev. Mr. Miller has a future before him as one of the great evangel ists of the country.

Is the concensus of opinion, lie is frequently compared to "Billy" Sunday by persons who have heard the latter, in his mag netism and ability to convict souls of wrong doing. In his "booze sermon which brought out the largest number of men ever known In this place, he so thoroughly aroused them to their duty that full three fourths of the 2,500 men present announced the determination to stand for prohibition, and many who had signed liquor licenses sent word to Carlisle to have their signatures removed. His work here is the one subject of conversation and the good which has been done cannot be estimated.
