ENTHRALLS LARGE AUDIENCES
Bishop QuayIe Speaks to Two
"Capacity Houses" in the Chris
tian Church Sunday

'FCapacity Houses, at the Chris
tian church Sunday, morning an(
evening, heard two big sermons by
one of the greatest preachers in this
country.
His morning discourse was a con
summate presentation of the Chris
tian optimist's philosophy, deduced
from ST. Paul's position, the key
note to which is to be found in the
apostles affirmation that temporal
"afflictions work out a far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory. .
The speakers idea, which was vari-
ously elaborated, was that whether
life appears an as Arcadia Or a Sa-
hara, depends upon the standpoint
and angle from which we look at it;
whether with the eye of the English
sparrow, whose horizon doesn't ex-
tend beyond the dirt he is wallow-
ing in, or the eye of the sky-lark
THAT from heaven, or near it,
Pours it's full heart
In profuse strains of unprecedented
art"
In the evening he expounded four
great necessities of life; faith, love,
comfortableness and God" these, as
his theme, being a spiritualization Of
the word bread, in the parenthet-
zeal remark-if scripture can be said
to contain any parentheses- con-
nection with a certain journey of the
disciples, on which it is said that
they forgot to take bread with
them
We have somewhere read that
Theodore Tilton was among the few
orators who could talk successful
ly to children, by the hour. Those
who heard the Bishop might have
noticed them held in rapt attention
ers and mothers, by the same
language
explanation Of Bishop Quayle's, pow
er, than his divine fire of earnest
ness, it may be looked for in his be-
ing a self-made man, which has CIV
en- him a prodigious breadth of hui
man knowledge and as result, an
apparently worldwide power of sym
2athy. Also, essentially poet, with
The poets passion of admiration for
nature, his mind is regular picture
gallery of natural imagery.
The Quayle services were held in
The Christian church, in acceptance
Of the kind offer of that congrega-
ton. This is said to be the most
commodious auditorium in the city,
and although the audience was large,
it is so constructed, accoustically,
that everybody was able to hear per-
fectly.
The special as we'll as regular mu-
sic at the Quayle services seemed
happily arranged. The voluntary by
Mrs L. G.. Streater, though prepared
upon short notice, was an enjoyable
selection and artistically executed.
Mr. ]. A Paro and Mrs J. W. Car
oW gave pleasing rendering Of
Forever with the Lord, as a duet,
their voices blending to good musical
effect. The words Of the solo by Mrs.
H. r. T. Ross, Love Never Faileth'
were a great part. of the thirteenth
chapter of First Corinthians, which
might be termed the apostle Paul's
prose-poetic coronation of the quality
of love. By coincidence, the senti-
ment, in view of the sermon that i'm
mediately followed, was beautifully
appropriate, ard Bishop Quayle-who
is a poet of note, as we'll as musl-
cian-seemed visibly impressed AT
the evening service the music in
cluded trio by Mr.. Paro, Mrs. Car
ow and Mrs. Ross, and a solo by Mr..
Paro.
In the afternoon the bishop met
the official board at the Methodist
church and the result was that the
board voted to proceed with the
erection of a new Methodist Episco-
pal Church as soon as the necessary
financial arrangements can be made
