footing their bills recently, IN that town,

The Rev. DR.. Munsey Is attracting
the attention Of our community more
than any ether man ever did before. he

pulpit orators on the continent. His ser

large and beautiful ediice, which is an
ornament to our city and a credit 20 the
Christian community.
