Canton ministers, who are casting
about for some means Of increasing
attendance at revival services, will dc
well to follow the example of the Lon
don preacher who is holding meetings
in absolute darkness. Besides saving
light bills the scheme has great many
other advantages. 1t was originally
evolved for the benefit of those per-
sons, who hesitate-to attend divine
worship because they have nothing to
wear, but the results have been more
far-reaching than we're anticipated. II
has been noted that the great increase
in attendance has been due. principally
to the interest manifested by the
younger members of the parish. The
darkness is conducive to thought and
the absence of advertisements in the
way Of new bonnets and gowns places
the members of the congregation in a
receptive mood. The experiment has
been a matter of psychology and, as
such, has proven a success.
