NIGHT SERVICE
At KNOX CHURCH
Hello ON LAWN
AN INTERESTING HOUR WAS
SPENT BY LARGE CROWD OF
PEOPLE AT THE EAST HILL
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Knox Presbyterian church lnaugu-
rated quite an innovation in religious
services last night when the evening
hour was observed by the congrega-
ton being seated on chairs which had
been placed on the grass lawn on the
south side of the church building, at
the corner of Blount street and
Thirteenth avenue. The congregation
was large, and the interest in every
feature of the service close and at
tentive. The chairs which had been
placed on the grass lawn were very
soon all filled up, and the sidewalks
were occupied by late arrivals.
Another notable feature of the out
side service was the large number of
automobiles which had been drawn
up on the two streets bordering the
church lot, and those occupying the
autos remained seated in their cars
and listened to the rendition of a
the direction of Mrs. Nita Osborne
Benn, Mrs Benn herself taking part
in the program.
This selected choir, however, did not
have a monopoly on the musical num-
bers by any means. Old and familiar
hymn were suggested for congrega
tional singing. and the acting pastor,
Rev. B. B. Shankel added quite
lot of interest to the evenings service
by giving a short history of the ia
miliar hymns thus rendered abide
With Me- Asleep In Jesus" Nearer
My God to Thee" and other selec-
tions which are known throughout the
world, were rendered and a short his
tory given by Rev. Mr.. Shankel.
In addition to the explanation of the
song histories, Mr.. Shankel also gave
a very lucid talk on the question of
music and singing at church services.
To make possible the success of the
outdoor service, lights had been gem
erously distributed about the lawn,
and the lot was very brilliantly illu-
Services will likely be held
there throughout the warm season at
night.
