place at the Pentecostal Mission on
South Market street Sunday afternoon.
The attendance at Sunday school was
the first thing that attracted atten-

have been interested in its welfare.
The afternoon meeting was attended
by a big crowd and G. w. Dennis had
an excellent sermon.
The subject of the decoration of the
Mission room was again placed before
