The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-12-07

Taking for his theme The Unpardon-
able Sin, Rev. Dr. Chapman preached a
profoundly impressive sermon to near
~ LOO persons in the tabernacle last
evening. 1t was the largest congrega-
ton that had assembled there since the
evangelistic series began, with the ex-
ception of those present on Sunday. 1t
was not narrowing sermon, but was
marked by a solemnity commensurate
with the theme and sounded a note Of
warning of the danger of rejecting
Christ. He that believeth not is con
demned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only be
gotten Son of God
Many ministers We're present, hav-
ing come from other towns by invita-
ton, and they were greatly moved by
the foreefulness of Dr. Chapman s pre-
sentation of the message. Among them
was a delegation of ministers from
keene, \. H., who are trying to Sc
cure DR.. Chapman and Mr.. Alexander
for a series Of meetings in that city.
\ large number of ministers had seats
near the platform and early in the
service Mr. Alexander had them
stand and sing Shine Just Where You
Are, after the Sunshine choir of boys
and girls had sung it. They sang it
in way that proved what Mr.. Alex
ander said, that "some Of these hymns
have hooks that take right hold of
you, - and the congregation applauded.
Mr.. Brown, soloist, sang two hymns,
the choir joining in the chorus. They
were Over Wonder and the pilot song,
/ Is He Yours? \ new hymn was taken
up, Jesus Passed Through Jericho. by
Charles Fl. Gabriel, which had a swing
/ that made it instantly appealing. While
/ the Offering was being received the
choir rendered We Journey to a City
Another favorite, Just Little Help
I rom You;- was sung while the doors
were opened to admit fresh air.
Rev.eC. t. Chafer of Athol, Mass
who formerly was associated with DR.
Chapman, offered prayer. Announce
ment was made that on Saturday, un
der the auspices of a committee of the
Woman s club, a canvass of the towr
for relief for the war sufferers will b,
made. DR.. Chapman said that next week
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday af
ternoons, Immediately after school Rev
Mr.. Chafer would give special illustrat
ed talks for children in the taberna
