Each day striking results of the Phil
adelphia revival led hy Evangelists
Torrey and Alexander are being seen.
The fiame burns brightly i#>t only at
the big mass meetings where thousands
gather nightly, but is spreading to lo
cal churches throughout Philadelphia.
Scores of churches all over the city are
holding revival meetings. Hands of
happy revivalists board the street cars
and make them echo for miles with re-
vival melodies.
The movement is affecting fhe busi
ness men of Philadelphia in a remark
able mminer. One of those was so stir
red up that he called his employees to
gether the other morning before begin
ning work and held a prayer meeting
with them to irek God to keep them
from profanity and other sins through
out the day.
One of the most unique developments
of the revival thus fur was a business
men’s luncheon tendered to Mr.' Alex
ander a few days ago by a prominent
real estate dealer of Philadelphia. Mr.
Alexander had been out to the church
of which this man was a member a
short time previously and In a brief ad
dress to a little congregation of about
200 guthwed in the basement of the
building had started a revival fiame
which has transformed the entire
church. At the close of the address a
group of ji dozen men gathered around
the singing evangelist and confessed
that their lives had not been what they
should lie, hut declared that he*cefbrth
they would make soul winning the
business of tlieir lives. One of the lit
tle group was J. II. McBride, a promi
nent real estate man, who later de
clared that, although he had been a
member of the church for twenty-five
years, he had not l>een a Christian. He
and others present at the basement
m^etkig seemed to receive a baptism
with fire/and. their actions since then
have •been the talk of the community.
Mr. McBride had allowed jieople to in
spect ids houses on Sundays, but at

Wm. Jefferies.
(J. B. Wilson in Southern Christian
Advocate.)
William Jefferies, son of John and
Sarah Goudelock Jefferies, was born
April 2nd, 1830, and died February
10th, 1900. Between these dates, cov
ering a little more than three quarters
of a century, is recorded the life of
a good and useful man. For fifty of
these years he was called many times
from the quiet home-life to serve his
country, both in war and in peace.
He always met these demands with
credit to himself and to the best in
terests of the country. Although op
nosed to secession as a member of the
legislature in 1858, when, two years
later, South Carolina seceded and the
call to arms was made, he entered the
Confederate service and made a
brave defender of his country’s rights.
Before and since the war between
the States, he was called by his coun
trymen to serve them in the legisla
ture of South Carolina, 1857 1876,
and when Cherokee county was
formed in 1896, he was the first chos
en State senator from the new coun
ty. In all these positions of trust
and honor he acquitted himself well,
and retained to the last the respect
and confidence of his fellow-citizens.
In early life Mr. Jefferies taught
school; and throughout his life he
was deeply interested in the educa
tional work of the country, devoting
much of his time and means for its
promotion, especially in his own coun
ty. Thoughtful, discrebt and kind, his
counsel wa soften sought by his
neighbors, and he was preeminently
useful in this work. He was success
ful in his business affairs in a marked
degree, the result of diligence, frugal
ity and safe managt inent.
April the 3rd I860, he married Mrs.
Bamoth L. Farr, whose maiden name
was Hames. So' n after marriage he
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, and ever after was a'
useful and faithful member. He was,
for about the entire period of his
church life, an officer in the church,
being a steward, Sunday school su
perintendent and trustee. Many
time® he was elected and served as a
delegate to the annual and district
conferences. Here, as in other im
portant places, he served with abil
ity.
While large and varied business in
terests laid claim *0 his time and
thought, his home life was ideal. The
burdens of business cares were never
allowed to disturb the peace and good
cheer of the loved ones, but always
cheerful, affable and entertaining, he
contributed to teh happiness of the
home circle. He always felt a. spec
ial interest in the young people and
sought to promote their happiness'
and well-being. A worthy son of a
noble ancestry who bore a patriotic
part in the Revolution, a patriotic
citizen, an ideal neighbor, an honor
able, upright business man, a faith
ful Christian, a devoted husband, and
a kind and loving father has gone to
his reward, and has joined his sainted
wife, who proceeded him to the heav
enly inheritance only nine moaths.
