The second week of the great Tay-
lor meeting is on. The evangelist and
his helpers are making good, even be-
yond expectations. Splendid audienc-
es are in attendance every night; and
the big chorus choir and orchestra
under the leadership of Prof. Lane
and Mrs. Taylor, are a great attrac-
ton. It's worth SO cents night
just to hear the music, especially the
vocal and cornet solos. A great hit
was made Wednesday evening when
Prof. Lane sang Capt. Stanley's com.
edy solo entitled I'm Serving the
Lord in My Week Way"
But the real secret of power is In
evangelist himself. He breaches
the straight old gospel, but always
puts it in new and striking way
He is fearless in his bombardment
of the citadel of sin. His sermon
Wednesday evening on "Heart-aches
was sermon of power. People who
come to criticise stay to pray.
1t was announced that the first in.
vitation would be given Thursday
evening, but this paper goes to press
too early to know the results. The
