evening. The Fort Worth Telegram says
"A congregational meeting was held after tho
morning services at which the money was raised to
rcseat the church with comfortable pews. The
growth of the church demands larger seating ca
pacity. The congregation feels much encouraged with
the outlook and give much credit to their new pas
tor, who is endearing himself not only to the mem
bers of his church, but to the residents of the
neighborhood of the church who have met him and
heard him preach. Mr. Lambdin is an exceptionally
strong preacher presenting the truths Of the gospel
with force and power and withal in great and con
vincing simplicity"

in the papers at no distant day.
