plans Monday night Reports were
received from all the chairmen Of
committees. It was found that a
thorough canvass Of the city had been
made, that the financial support ac-

committees that the success Of the

postponed. committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon those interested
in the concerts to secure, IL possible,

He evidently loves the service Of
Christ, and places all his reliance
for the results of his ministry upon
the spirit of God. He employs no un-
usual or sensational methods in his
work. The indefinable something

entire effacement Of self in his mes.
