No evangelist has ever wished Lew

auditorium in two nights as Rev C.
r.. Handenscheled has done in spite
of the bad weather prevailing and the
unfortunate conditions under foot.
Last night indicated to all wko were
present that the church edifce will
not be half large enough in a few
more days.
Rev. #andenschield impresses the
people with the fact that he has a
message for the modern man; that
he believes every word Of his message:
that this message was meant to be
delivered whole, and that unless we
are broad enough to see all sides of
it, and not afraid Of the practical sid.
God will not own His work.
This evangelist Is new in the field.

ago, and the record he has is one that
but very few have the distinction to
possess, OF never having a single fail

Rev. Mr.. Haudenschield will be his

carry a special singer with him after
this year on account of the wear upon

Men were standing in the door way
when the hose cart made all aware
that there was a fire near by, but no
one moved, for the evangelist had
arisen to preach and all seemed intent
to know Just what he would say.
Every word was listened to with
such attention as is seldom given to
any public speaker.
The evangelists description of
Sampson, in it's relation to the young
man of today who goes in for a good
time, expecting that there will be no
afterclap. was dramatic, in the. ex-
treme, and made a very deep i'm

Three Services on Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Haudenschield breaches
one Of his best sermons tonight, "Ex-
cuses." He told all those present last
night to bring out all their neighbors
not being Christian. and any relative
who had ever used any of these ex-
cuses and he would try to cover the
ground in such manner as would
reach them all. There will be no
services Saturday excepting the chorus

Sunday there will be three services.
