Rev. E. L. Hyde, of Philadelphia,
opened series of evangelistic services
here with watch meeting on New Year s
eve, the first meeting of it's kind held in
che Swedesboro Methodist Church in
twenty years. The attendance was good
and the occasion one of deep interest.
Mr.. Hyde has held afternoon and even
ing meetings, the latter of which have
been crowded, and considerable interest
has been awakened, both among the
membership of the church and the un-
converted. Several conversions have
resulted, and number of the membe
are seeking the Higher Life experience.
An all-day meeting was held on Thursday.
The morning service was marked with
Divine power, and the altar was crowded
with seekers. Rev. Daniel Green, of
Camden, preached an impressive sermon.
OF the other services of the day we will
speak next week. Mr.. Hyde will hold a
meeting for men on Sunday afternoon,
and close his labors here on Sunday even.
ing. Mr.. Hyde is a hard worker, earnest
aud forcible in his manner, and logical
and clear in his reasonings. We have no
hesitancy in saying that the church in
which he labors will receive lasting bene-
fits We believe bis work will stand.
