tain amount for five years. ss
An evidence ofsthe 'progressiveness Of
the Plymouth church is the fact that
ten of the young people will attend the
Endeavor convention at Boston. A
church that can send so many delegates
| must have an enthusiastic body of
workers.

Calvary Reformed Church
The Sunday evening services at Cal
vary Reformed church, corner of Mon
roe avenue and Gibson street, prom
ises to be of an unusually interesting
character If the service and audience
on last Sabbath is any indication. The
pastor has departed somewhat from the
usual method of imparting Gospel
truth. At each service during the sum-
mer three large oil paintings six feet
high, are used to illustrate and impress
the truth upon the mind. All doubts
as to the success of what some might
consider an innovation at the divine
services have been removed. The chapel
was crowded and the interest of the
audience never laggd during the entire
service. The present course of SER
mons is on scenes in the life of Daniel.
The subject Of tomorrow evenings dis
course is 1.-THE Worlds History in a
Dream" These sermons will be con-
tinued every Sunday evening during
the summer Everybody is welcome.
The new chapel of the Reformed con-
gregation, corner Monroe avenue and

cided to open the church for service
during the second week in July, begin
ming Wednesday, July 10. There will
be special services on Wednesday,
and Friday evenings, par
in by several of the pastors Of
the city. On Sunday the Rev. II. T.
