Tolleson & Co.’s Cheap Store. The much talked of revival at the Methodist church by Evangelist J. E. Schoolfield, of Danville, Ya., was begun last Sab Oath morning. Fur several days previous Sweet Singer Van Pelt had been here preparing the way by training the choir to some new and beautiful airs, so when Mr. Schoolfield arrived everything was in readiness. The evangelist opened his battery of truth on the ungodly in a truely Christain warlike manner at the very first service. Sunday night he wa« more effective than Sunday morning and Monday night he beiran in real earnest. He han dies his subject in a simple yet con vincing manner and does not hesi tate to call things by their proper terms. Some people may not like him for his plainness of speech but none will dare say lie fears to speak what he thinks. He is in no sense of the word a politic man, and he has in Ida composition much of that es sential material which Mr. Dixon woult (I “ignate as “JIackbone.” The congregations that attend his meetings are immense and there is scarcely a vacant seat at the forenoon service while at the night service many who arrive late cannot gain ad mittance and numbers stand t hrough- out the service, may on the outsides at the windows, to catch the golden truths as they fall from the lips of this fearless man of (»od. The Ekdokk will not attempt to give its readers a synopsis of any of the sermons but will say that each succeeding one seems better than its predecessor. The singing of Mr. Van Peltisa feature of the meetings. His rich, musical voice seems to plead with poor fallen humanity as lie sings of the wonderful love of the Redeemer of the world. A Sketch of Mr. Schoolfield. Mr. Schoolfield is a large, sinery man. He is about six feet two and wears his heavy head of almost black hair rather long. His face is some what elongated and a heavy droop ing mustache serves to hide a very prominent mouth. His limbs are long and as he passes his long slen der fingers through his heavy head of already disheavded hair and throws back his head as if to gather strength to utter some truth with greater force than usual the audience is electrified and impressed with the terrible earnestness of the man. Mr. Schoolfield was born in Henry crunty. Virginia, in September 1850 and will therefore be forty-seven years of age next September. At the early age of thirteen he moved to Lynchburg, where he remained until 18(5:1, when he moved to Selma, Ala bama. He remained in Alabama but one year when be moved back to his native state, making the most prom inent city on the River Dan—Dan ville—bis home for eigirt months only. He moved from there to Rich mond. After spending two years at the last capital of the confederacy he removed to Danville In 187‘{ and en- gaged in tire business of a hardware merchant. By strict attention tc business and honest dealings be has been enable to accumulate quite a comfortable fortune. Far tire past five years he has been engaged ca ll vely in evangelical work, retainingai tire same time the interest in his bus iness. One thing about this munis that people who arc* disposed to do so cannot say of him as they say of most evangelists—that he preaches fer money. Mr. Schoolfield accepts m money for himself. He allows the people to pay his expenses when he goes to preach hut he will accept nothing more. He has been a rnem- lyr of the church since nineteen years of age. Five years ago he felt called of God to preach and et once began his remarkable evangelical ca* reer. Since that time lie lias held services in Virginia. West Virginia. Norih and South Carolina, Tennes see, Maryland and in Washington. D. (5. At a meeting in Huntington, W. Va.. over one thousand people were brought into the church as a result of his labors. He has had wonderful success in Ids chosen work and thous ands of ungodly men and women have nounced their evil ways and took up tlie cross as a result of bis earnest work. Mr. Van Pelt. Mr. Van Pelt, is fi ’u Woodstock, Va. He is u man of medium Lcigth with a somewhat roteml figure and a round, oval face. Hu wears a mus tache and his countenance beams with a kindly smile. Mr. Van Pelt is a splendid character delineator and and has refused an oiler of a night to sing in a comic opera. He feels that he bus been called to use his sweet voice to sing for the cause of religion. He is a poor man and hua a family to support and the only means of suopurt he has is what is given him at the meetings held. On Sunday afternoon Air. Sehool- tield will hold a special service ^ PISO’S CURE FOR.4 “mtiMEnfiWTiiircr | Utwt Cxiiirb Syrup. Tantaa (jond. Um | In tiniH. Si ild by dru^irtiHn. j men only.
