Three immense audiences filled the
Methodist church at the three services
Sunday to hear Rev. L. Mcconnell,
who preached three stirring sermons.
The three O'Clock sermon to men only
is the best sermon he has preached, and
he held the crowd with intense inter-
est from beginning to end, and when
the proposition was put to lead better
lives, the response was almost unani-
nous. The singing at these services is
very fine. Mr.. Mcconnell has mag
niticent voice, that is full of melody.
His wife, who is present, has sweet
voice. She conducted woman's meet
ing at the old Methodist church on
Sunday afternoon. The meetings ut
