Old Bryan.

There was great crowd OF people
last night TO hear Rev. Adair preach
at the old skating rink. But he did
not even get to read the scriptures
or take a text. He says men and wo-

than his sermon. as be will have plen-

lives OF men are uncertain.
Something which men cannot ex-
plan except by the spirit OF God. has
been at these services, when without
any sermon or any excitement men

up and confss their sins and accept
Christ as their savior.

sweet smile and said she wanted TO
