Our services last Sunday we're
especially interesting, as our pastor,
DIR. Garner, was about to leave the
city for a few weeks on Sunday
evening. The subject of his sermon
in the morning was The Fire of the
Gospel of Love"
DIR. Garner is making special ct
forts to bring about an unusual
spiritual awakening among his
members, so that they might be pre-
pared to fight bravely in the cam
paign against sin, vice and misery.
This campaign is to be united spe-
cial effort, made by several churches,
in November, for several weeks,
and the plan is to hold union evange-
listic meetings at each of the
churches for one week. The pas
tors will be assisted by Rev. George
Moore, the well-known former pas
tor of Lincoln Temple Con9rega-
tional Church, and special music
will be rendered each evening by a
grand union choir, conducted by
Mr.. C. Radcliff, director of the
Shiloh Baptist choir. Plymouth is
one of this number, and it is the de-
sire and earnest appeal of our pas
tor that every member and friend
of our church catch the spirit OF the
meetings and work faithfully to
make them what such a grand effort
should be.

two younger sons, left the city last
