to the service it was learned that she
was physically unable to nil her en-
gagement and Evangelist Bruner e1-
pressed his deep regret for the dis
appointment caused by her nonapper-
ance. The noted leader Of the corps
OF special workers engaged in the city
wide campaign seemed not TO be en-
barrassed because of the failure oi
his we'll laid plans, but filled in tbs
breach with a splendid sermon
preached by himself, on The Second
Coming OF Christ"
