frOTn independence, is causing great
interest among church people. Many
converts are a direct result of his earn
est sermons in the tent at Lawrence
and Fourth streets. The way this 13-
year-old boy can hold a congregation
and keep their attention is truly mar

boy until he starts to preach, and then
he seems to grow in stature as his dis
course proceeds People who go to
hear him out of idle curiosity forget
that he is a child, and listen with close
attention.
