The Mems Meeting at the Re.
formed church last Sunday afternoon
was largely attended. The address
of Rev. Romberger was a logical,
clean-cut exposition of the scripture,
and he held the undivided attention
of the audience from the beginning to
the end. He chose as the basis of his
remarks Luke, 7: IA, "Young man,
| say unto thee, arise" and he pre-
sented the subject in such a manner
that several men in the audience arose
and signified their intention of leading
a different life.
