Evangelist Conducts Special Meet
ing for Them at Pilgrim Con-
gregatiOnal Church.
MANY PROFESS THEIR FAITH.
Delivers Forceful Discourse, in
Which He Asks Audience to
Consider Him a Brother,
Not a Preacher.

A service specially for men was conducted
last night In Pilgrim Congregational Church
by the Reverend Campbell Morgan. The
meeting was marked by the same charac.
teristics that distinguished the first of its
kind in Centenary NJ. E.. Church. South, last
week.
These special services are more impressive
than those conducted at the Odeon. The
evangelist seems to believe that he is being
more earnestly heard and hat his SEN
fences are being more carefully analysed by
these congregations than those Of the larger
meetings.
He asked last night that every man forget
a preacher was addressing them, and con-
slider the talk as coming from a real broth
or. Mr.. Morgan regards this service as one
of the most important he onducts during
a series of meetings. His sermons are pre-
pared with the character of his audience in
view.
He preached last night from the Bible
story of the man who asked Christ what he
should do to inherit eternal life. He showed
that this man was near to perfect. accord
ing to the worlds standard, and yet lacked
the one essential thing to be saved. The
object Of the sermon was to point out the
one essential thing in each mans life.
MANY PROFESS RELIGION.
He extended an invitation for persons VINO
desired to profess religion to make a public
showing. More than two dozen men rose to
their feet.
To-day the regular services will he held
in the afternoon and evening at the Odeon.
The morning service will be at $50 in the
Grand Avenue Presbyterian Church. This
schedule will be continued through Satur-
days and the series is to come to a close
Sunday afternoon with another mass meet
ing in Music Hall.
The afternoon Bible lectures are popular.
Each afternoon a special subject is dis
fIIScal and Pihlo cfrdpnfc 0Yp finding Dranf
profit in them. The subjects are announced
a day in advance. The subject for this
afternoon is Ephesians.
The text of the sermon last night was
Mark x, 81: One thing thou lackest." He
said in part:
This story reveals how near men may be
to perfection and yet at the same time how
far from it. Having so many things and
yet, lacking the one thing, in danger of
losing them all. Had this man lacked
what he had, and possessed what
