The pastor has had the pleasure of
seeing his audience grow in attendance
each evening during the services of the
past week. Though last evening was
the regular mid-week prayer service in
all the churches, yet an unusually large
week audience was present in the spe-
cial service in the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. In the absence
of the pastor, the prayer meeting of the
First M. K. Church adjourned and the
attendants came in body to the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church, adding
quite a number to the audience. ''The
Border of Wickedness" was dwelt upon
by the pastor with great emphasis, call
ing attention among other things to the
danger of Christians allowing their
! lives to grow too near such border
line, their influence demanding that
they "avoid the very appearance of
evil" The series of services will con-
tinue at the same hour this evening.
