CHANGED HIS MIND.
Rev. F. O. Holman Now Thinks Minneapolis Needs a Revival.
Rev. F. O. Holman referred to his opposition to the Mills revival meetings during his sermon yesterday morning at the Hennepin Avenue M. E. church. He stated that though he had been opposed to the revivals when the matter was first agitated, he had, in a measure, changed his mind, and was willing and glad to aid the other churches in making the season of exhortation successful. He had come to the conclusion that Minneapolis was in need of something that would operate as a revelation upon the people, who were transgressing to no small extent. The fact that Sunday theaters were running in full blast every Sabbath afternoon and evening, and that skating matches and other pernicious pastimes were being indulged in on the Lord's day demonstrated that a change of heart was needed, and needed badly. Mills was the instrument with which God would bring about the revolution.
