Enquire. ls expeoted that a eyond spirit "la a revival possible In Indepen denceT" waa tha query In the mlndi of the cltlieua four weeks ago. Th united effort of the varloua church ea, led by Evangelist Taylor, ha proved that our city is not be resurrection. By earnest preaching much genuine enthusiasm and heart to heart appeals by both ministers and laymen in church, auditorium and places of business, the town has re ceived an unaurpasaed moral uplift. Last Sunday afternoon the s of tho meeting waa ao Intense tha great stout-hearted men trembled an wopt. Five prominent cltlsens accept ed Christ. Those who have been ac customed to attending church aervlcea aald they never aaw anything like it for power and heart searching ap peals. In the evening alx or aeven more came forward. On Monday night eight more came and on Tues day the revival waa on in "old fasb loned style." It aeemed that the evangelist would not get through re ceiving the handa of those beginning for Christ. Ever since, the spirit and earnestness have been at a white beat and it la difficult to pre dict what proportion future meetlnga will aaaume. That the revival la giv ing Independence a great moral boost is admitted,' even by those who at first were skeptical. Rev. Taylor'a able handling of the aubjocta "Chickens Come Home to Roost," "What Will You Do with Je bus Who Is Called the Christ," "Ten Reasons Why I Am a Christian," and many other themes, has brought much conviction, and many who hith erto have been recklesa are now se riously considering the question of salvation. Seldom have people been more responsive to the truth and anx ious to profit by it. Independence la not beyond reach, which la demon strated by the fact that over one hundred and fifty were converted up to Wednesday. There are three very notable feat ures of the meeting.

Surveying crews of the Oregon Electric are working out of Forest Grove establishing lines that parallel the track of the Southern Pacific. The lines have been ataked out aa far as Gaaton. The llnea run in the cen ter of the main street of that city, according to reports coming from that section. Moreover, it is the general opinion that the line will be extended aa far as Corvallla, as the surveyors when at Gaaton asked what sort of country they would encoun ter. When asked "Do you mtena w go up to CorvBllis, then?" the chief of the crew said "No!" in a rather non plussed fashion.

The librarian has been compelled to send for more literature. The singing led by Prof. Mcintosh has been uplifting. The piano, cornet and violin have helned Immensely. It is gratifying to note the Bplrit of the students in building up their classes. Let the good work continue. After the Sun day school the pastor received tor membership - twenty-seven persons.
