With every meeting Miss Angy
Manning Taylor is growing in favor
With Keokuk people, old and young,
men and women. So well learned is
she in the Bible, it's characters and
spirit, that she appears to have d
plausible answer to every conceivable
question that may be raised against
its lessons.
She is logical, convincing and at
times pathetic in her teaching and
appeals not only to the common
sense but to the sympathetic side of
men and women. Some Of her an.
peals las night were so tender and
eloquent and SO sympathetic in their
presentation tina. the audience sat en-
tranced with the magnetic force OF
her gentle and inspiring talk.
At any moment last night during
her remarkable exposition of the fifth
chapter of the Gospel of st. John the
dropping OF pin could have been
heard with ease, SO quiet and eagerly
did every listener follow the words
or the speaker.
In the clearest and most perfect
and precise language, step by step,
with every word absolutely necessary
to the expression of her meaning,
Miss Taylor proved the Deity OF
Christ as He proved it himself, salts
tying even the old Mosaic law. "And
yet even though divine" said Miss
Taylor. there is one door that He
cannot open, the knob of which is on
the inside and only the will of the
individual can open the door to this
proven divine Son Of God and the
giver Of eternal life The audience
was large and everybody present
seemed more than pleased with the
able and eloquent address and inspir-
ed by the interesting and instructive
lesson they had learned.
