attracted large audience last evening.
The place OF meeting on Main and 9Th

Mr., Gjsson was very good and the solo
rendered by Mr., Sisson was very fine
indeed. as -
Evangelist Gender read the parable
OF the sower and the seed as recorded
in the thirteenth chapter Of Matthew
and gave some splendid illustrations of
people who have eyes and see not the
beauty in the world about them and in
the spiritual things that are revealed:
and Of people who have ears and hear
not the harmony in the things about
them. The young speaker showed a
keen insight into the nature OF things
about him in the natural. and scientific
and religious world: and the applica.
ton Of these truths to religious life and
thought was indeed very helpful.
These services will continue each
