THE MEETING CLOSES.

The series of meetings which were in
progress at the Christian church fol-
three weeks, closed last Sunday night.
Ed. Pinkerton, who did the preaching,
is certainly remarkably man in many
respects. Besides being Biblical
scholar, he is one of the strongest pull
pit speakers in the State. He teaches
the Scriptures as he understands them
clearly and forcibly. having no difficult
ty in making every body understand ex-
actly what he means, and at no time
during the meeting was he offensive to
other denominations. There were abont
twenty-five additions to the Church
during the series, and every body who
attended got some good out of the
meeting.
The attendance was very large
throughout, and in order to accommodate
every body, three or four nights before
closing, the services were held at the
courthouse The speaker subject last
Thursday night was "The Plea of the
Twentieth Century" 1t was master
ly effort, showing the great good that
could be accomplished if all denomina-
tons would come together and make a
united fight to save the world.
Ed Pinkerton is very companion
able gentleman, making many friends
during his stay in Columbia, every body
regretting the parting hour. 1t is the
universal expression that he again visit
Columbia.
