erect the tent in which EvapgeIi,t
Little holds forth. 1t is seated With
threc-inch plank and will accommo-
date about 400 people. Services were
held Saturday evening, with
pleasant talk and Introductory.
There were likewise services Sunday,
which were largely attended, but the
heavy downpour of rain in the after
noon put a stop to the meetings for
the day. The unique arrangement
of preaching in tent, by Evangelist
Little, who is known as the boy
preacher because he commenced
preaching when he was Is years of
age. has a drawing tendency. He
has his own way OF preaching, is
lquite funny. pleases the small boy
immensely, and even causes old peo-
pie to smile. Sometimes he sand
witches short talk between the sing
ing of two verses in hymn. He
takes no stock in firstly, secondly
and thirdly, SO much practiced by
other ministers. The evangelist in
forms me that the meetings. will be
continued as long as the public take
an interest and come out to hear him.
