Methodist Meetings

A two weeks series ofevangelis-
tic meetings held in the Metho-
dist church closed last Sunday
evening
Rev. |. l.. Oakes of Cotton,
California, did the preaching,
which was highly pleasing to the
people of the town. Mr.. Oakes
is strong rugged character, and
in preaching combines logical ar
rangement with a forceful presen-
tation of facts. His experience
as pastor and evangelist and IN
other important positions in the
church, has given him a rich stock
of illustrations and observation
with which to make the truth OF
the gospel especially vivid. His
wide reading and gross of care
full study have especially fitted
him for the work of teaching the
great doctrines OF the Bible.
1t is doubtful if there has ever
been delivered in Winslow a
stronger and clearer series of ser
mons than those of Mr.. Oakes
on such themes as the Existence
and Realty of God, ""1mmortall-
ty," ETERNITY" etc.
