LARGE CROWDS At
SMALL MEETINGS
Growing Interest in the Services in
the First M. e. Churchc.

A big crowd heard Sam Small last
night at the First Methodist church.
In fact. the crowd is growing larger
each evening and the interest is in
creasing with the crowd. Last night
the evangelist gave many telling illus
trations and gave a fine flavor To AL
that he said by the use of his Georgia
mannerisms. which are as natural 10
him as his breathing
The quaint style was no doubt new
TO many OF the congregation who had
never heard him or his famous CO.
worker, Sam Jones. He told last
evening of his conversion under the
preaching of Sam Jones and how the
same day he went down on the street
and preached Ia two thousand of those
who had known him as an apparently
hopeless drunkard. The effect of this
story. together with his closing de-
scription, was very marked.
There is little doubt that the house
will be packed each evening with
eager listeners. The solo last night
was by Carl F.. Hull. who sang He
Is So Precious To Me-. with pleasing
effect. Tonight the evangelist will
preach and Dir. Huh is scheduled TO
