girl, too young to have judgment Of her

The street, within seeing distance Of the

of automobiles, stylish carriages and the

seats are taken long before the service
begins and the rest of the people either
sit on the grass or stand up. It IS estf-
mated that there are from eight hun
dred to a thousand in the audience each
Sunday.
So far as the Rev. Madden knows his
UNIQUE service is original with him. He
had q suggestion for. it in an Indiana
town. Princetown. but in that city they
simply had out of door services The
lantern slide feature to accompany his
open air talks was planned by the Rev.
Madden himself.
The present indications are that the
service is becoming so popular that It
will not be possible to hold the crowd at
the church and larger quarters may
have to be sought.
