Louisville, Ky., Feb. 28. Meetings in 24 churches, theatres and halls concluded the main effort of one of the most remarkable religious revivals seen in America during the past 50 years. During the two weeks just closed 6,500 persons confessed to Christianity. As about 65,000 of Louisville's 220,000 population had no church affiliation before the revival began, the two weeks' work resulted in the conversion of 10 per cent. of the unchurched.
The revival has been systematically conducted at all geographically advantageous points, theatres and halls in the business portion of the city being used. Eighteen visiting evangelists took part in the work, some of whom will remain for a month longer to follow up the work. Fifteen hundred persons were Sunday added to the 5,000 already converted, this being the final 'decision day.'
