THE SERVICES SUNDAY.
There was large attendance at all the
churches of the city yesterday. Method
ist preachers who are attending the Con-
ference officiated in all the churches at
both the morning and evening services.
By far the largest audience f1ocked to st.
Pauls Methodist church in the morning,
when Bishop Warren A. Gambler preached.
The church, which is the largest In the
city and one of the largest in the State,
could not accommodate the crowd who
sought admission, and would not have
done so if it had been twice as large.
Although the services did not begin until
IL o'clock, yet by 10 o'clock every avail
able seat in the spacious eGifice had been
taken and numbers of people were stand
| ing in the aisles and in the vestibules.
| The Bishops fame as preacher had
been raised throughout the city on ac-
count of the missionary address which he
made on Wednesday night and the Thanks
giving sermon, which he preached on
Thursday, on both Of which occasions he
demonstrated his ability as an orator far
above the ordinary. 1t was no surprise,
therefore, that numbers of people had to
be turned away from ST. Paul's church
yesterday morning because there were not
even standing room on the inside. Those
who were able to gain admission and had
to remain standing throughout the service,
took no account of the two hours that
passed and showed little signs of fatigue.
! The pleasing address of the bishop,
together with his expressive gestures, elo-
Quent phrases, ornate descriptions, con-
vincing logic and inspired demeanor alb
sorbed the attention OF his auditors to the
exclusion of their uncomfortable attitude
An attempt to report his sermon would
be as futile as an attempt to paint the
lilly ON refined gold"
