tonight and every night this week and
also on Sunday night in the First
Presbyterian Church, and Mr.. Bennett
will lead the singing. The song serv-
ice begins at 7.30 and preaching at
O'Clock.
The Evangelist is a man inspired of
God, for the work His sermons are
wonderful, and he presents the word
of God as it seldom is presented from
the pulpit or any other place. He is
man of God divinely chosen for the
work of spreading the Gospel and of
broadening Christ's kingdom.
There is no sensationalism no in

TO want to hear him again. Go to-
night and every night.

eric. at the Norfolk navy yard, escaped
Sunday night and was recaptured by
the Norfolk police. He will be turned
over to the captain of the raider for
disciplinary action. according to a re-
port to the Navy Department yester-
day. The commandant at the yard
probably will make inquiry later as to
the nature of the punishment inflicted.
If. in the opinion of Navy Depart
ment officials, it was not severe
enough TO act as lesson and prevent
further attempts at escape, it was in
dicated. the Greman captains atten-
tion would be called to this view.
