at prayer meeting In the plan adopted
by the Methodist Church here in orde
to get the men to attend. The Rev.
G. NJ. Bishop, pastor Of the church,
put the plan into operation Wednes-
day night, and It proved a success.
Many men who are regular attend
ants on Sunday attended prayer
meeting for the first time in months.
Several thought "the eats" came af-
ter the service and arrived late, but
found the praying in full blast and
the viands already disposed Of.
In speaking Of the innovation, D
Bishop said the custom is an old one
and that many members Of Protes-
tant churches in old days were forced
to bring their supper along, ON &C.
count Of the long distances they had
to travel. The value OF social inter
course, coupled with religious service.
not to be underestimated, be
said. Columbia Methodists will, &C.
