have proved most interesting and have
been exceptionally well attended. The
pastor of the church, Rev. j. A. Smith.

speaker of much magnetism and pow

Quoted by the pastor, Rev. Robert Van
Deventer, who will be assisted by Mr..
H. A. Wolfsohn, a well-known and
pleasing gospel singer. OF this singer
the Christian Index, in a recent num-
Der says: Mr.. Wolfson is a power in
a meeting, and the pastor who gets
him is fortunate. His sweet singing is
not his only power, but he gets others
to sing. and helps in many ways to
make the pastors burdens lighter. He
is truly a pastors helper. Our people
were delighted with him. May he live
long to sing the gospel of our blessed
Master"

are begun will be commenced, likewise,
