had such blessed meeting last Spring.
Last night that series Of services closed
after one months' memorable "labor OF
love" 1t was Morley Hall over sgain,
only three times as large a congregation.
The tabernacle seats 500, crowded. On
Sunday nights there was hardly standing
room and at the other services an average
of 500 or 900 all through the month. At
the eleventh hour last night it was decided
