the largest congregations ever seen in
this town enraptured for thirty min

ermon People fiocked from the coun-
try all around to hear this wonderful
preacher. The church was packed, and
many people had to leave, as they
could find no room. The little preacher
entered the pulpit in a calm and de
liberate manner, and before beginning
asked the ladies to kindly remove their
hats so the people in the back of the
church could see. Then he requested
the undivided attention of the congre-
CATION. He sale he would preach on
The Prodigal Son." He was perfectly
at ease in the pulpit, his gestures were
graceful, and he always emphasized
the right words. and explained difficult
thoughts with the greatest ease and
with wonderful illustrations. In speak
