familiar Salvation songs. which the
chorus Of many thousand voices sang
with mighty volume and militant ear

Every seat on the floor and in the
galleries was taken. Several thousand
persons were banked around the OUT
skirts of the hall. Half of these could
not see over the shoulders of those in

their part in the service. When the
bands began with the we'll known re-

assemblage took up the strain Of
There is better world. they say;

Of the hymn with nothing Of the ac-
compartment able to make itself heard

When the echoes of the last bars had

Lords Prayer. A brigade Of Saliva

reading being irterspersed by hymns
one sung by children and another by

Silent reading. alternating with
hymrs, continued for half an hour, fol-
