REVEALS NEAR CLOSE
Evangelist Smith Will Conclude Sue
cessful Series of Meetings Sum
day-Balance of Program.

Last Sunday was a great day in the
Evangelical campaign being conduct
ed in Sank Centre by C.. C. Smith and
his associatiate Mr.. Gilmore. In spite
of the intense heat large audiences
were in attendance at all of the SER
vices. Mr.. Smith was at his best In
the discussion of the themes which he
had chosen for the day. The morning
service subject was "The Reasons for
Failure in the Christian Life" and
the delinquent, careless Christian
was given such picture of his posi-
ton in the Christian life as did not
tend to make them think more highly
of themselves than they ought. The
kmessage although aiming to be re-
buke was full of kindly, searching
and sympathetic appeal. At this SER
vice scores of people renewed their
covenant with God and the church of
their choice.
Following this service Union Sun
day school session was held. This was
one of the most interesting and i'm
portant services of the day. Mr..
Smith gave a splendid talk to the
children and there were many deci-
sions to live the Christian life.
The most remarkable service in
many respects was the men meeting
in the afternoon. The day was bis
tering hot but large number of coat
les men attended the service. Mr..
Smiths narration of the life of Win
Mcclure was a thrilling story OF all
the forces that go to unman and ruin
a man, and the struggle for salvation
through the power of Jesus Christ,
that wins.
The climax of the day was reached
in the evening service when an aud
fence that filled the big tent assem-
bled. Mr.. Smiths subject was "The
Greatest Question:" based on the text
"What Shall do With Jesus Which Is
Called Christ"
One of the features Of every service
is the singing of the mars quartet,
composed Of the Evangelists, Messrs.
Smith and Gilmore, and the two local
pastors, Messrs. Duel and Brown. AS
Mr.. Smith says, cit is not often that
such a good combination is picked
up locally"
