He has met with much criticism on the part of other churches ou account of his expressed opposition to the doclriues of other churches aud there has been some little trouble in the town over the matter. Now the small boys seem to “ have it in” for him as the following cor- espondeuce from Halsey will indi cate: “ Evangelist Olson, who has been' holding revival services in the Christian church since May 31, has incurred the eumity of some boys who cut a large banner down, which bore the words, “ Hear Olson and his singers tonight," and hacked it in many pieces, after which they deposited it in front of the Christian church. They also tore down his black board where he writes the title of his sermon for each evening. He recently met with similar trouble at Albany.
