UITUSUAL BEVTVAL BATS BISHOP KILOO Methodist Laadar PoinU Out Sareral Olatlnct raatnraa, Charlotte Observer. The great revival which has been in progress at Trinity Methodist Church during the past three weeks will come to a close baturday, when Bishop J. C. Kilgo will leave for his home at Durham for few days' rest before eontining his labors elsewhere. The revival has been under the ausnicfrs of all the Methodist Churches of the eity and, while the services at Trin ity will stop Saturday, they will be continued in the Methodist Churche in the suburbs of the eitv for a week or mora longer. Tha revival has in many resnecU been the moat remarkable ever con ducted in this eity, both in its several features and in the beautiful and magnetie personality of Bishop Kilgo, afire with seal and faith, and vener able as well as vigorous, has attract ed men and women by the hundred? and yet this personality has been for gotten by his hearers when he has lost himself in his preaching, and the bishop likes that word "preach." Address" and talk" and "sDeak" he doesn't like. If any Methodist preacher in the eity were asked to catalogue the chief characteristics of the meetings lie would certainly comment upon the remarkable and almost unbelievable vitality and endnranee and tireless ness of his beloved bishop. Rishop Kilgo has conducted as many as three sen-ices almost every day for three weeks and some times as many as four, and yet this week he hns appar ently been in better trim than whci he began; If he has been weary and! exhausted no one has been able to detect it. lie suffered a little with his throat a few days after the reviv al began, but that trouble was ciuiek- ly -removed and he has -been in won derfully good shape since under a strain that would put an ordinary man in bed within a week. , Bishop Kilgo has long had mnnv' warm inenas ana admirers in I liar- lotte. following this meeting, when he comes to Charlotte in the late sum met and foil to live he will be warm ly welcomed by a veritable host of friends both in the Methodist and other denominations. e JIUST NOT CHAIN CONVICTS.

The mentality of such an in dividual is, and forever must be, we suppose, a mystery lo honorable peo ple.
