Mrs. Carter, the Evangelist.

Those of our readers who have failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity to hear
at least one sermon by the lady evangelist,
Mrs. Carter, of New York, now conducting
a series of meetings at the Free Methodist
Church of this town, have deprived them
selves OF more perhaps than they are aware.
We have had the pleasure of listening to
this lady during the past week, and with
out hesitation pronounce her efforts at ser
monizing far superior to any lady speaker
known to the Eikton church going public.
Her style is lucid, forcible and novel. Her
illustrations are apt and expressive, and her
general manner pleasing. Her language is
pointed and good and she is frequently
really eloquent. All this is perhaps without
especial effort at effect upon her part-her
aim plainly being simply to reach the hearts
of her hearers. Mrs. Carter is we'll known
throughout the East, where her worth is
more highly appreciated than it possibly
can be atuDun Strauuers
