REVIVAL ADDS NEW
SPIRIT TO OLD ASBURY

The influence OF the revival at AS
bury NJ h. Church has been felt in
every department Of the church. The
membership has been greatly quick
ened and many new names have been
added to the church record. Unusual
interest will be felt In all the church
services on Sunday on account Of this
revival spirit. Many strangers have
been welcomed and have found great
spiritual help at the early morning
prayer meeting at o'clock. At 10 30
o'clock the pastor will preach a short
sermon TO be followed by Holy Com
munion. It Is expected that the Com
munion service will be a season OF
great spiritual blessing and power as
many will take part in their first
Communion.
During the past month the at
tendance at Sunday school has great
ly increased. The Epworth League
service is popular with the young
people. At the evening service the
pastor will preach and hold revival
services. The combined morning and
evening choirs will sing gospel songs.
