held the undivided attention of his
audience from the first to the closing
sermon of the occasion. He stood as
the man of God, bearing Heaven
direct message to dying men, and the
hearts and conscience of believer and
unbelieYer seemed to feel the impress
sion of the solemn message. AS re-
suit OF the meeting there were six pro-
fessiOns and ten were added to the
church. Church members were great
ly strengthened and drawn closer to-
gether in love. A great many gave their
