tinguished preacher. His words never
fail to reach the heart and intellect
of his people. He is a servant of all
the people, and particularly of the
Master.
AS intimated before, DR.. Williams
is thoroughly scriptural in his preach
ing, and while humor and pathos,
laughter and tears, chase themselves
through his sermons, they are, after
all, sane and thoughtful. His meth
DDS, while they seem unique to some,
are after all simple, and as he says,
the sublimation of common sense
applied to the Lords work.
DR.. Williams is tall, well built
man with a rather small head. He
is in the prime of usefulness, and
some would call him handsome. He Is
at least striking in looks. His face
is rather good natured than other
wise. There are few crows-feet
around the eyes from much laugh
ter. He is an actor, and enjoys a
story of any kind to the full. and
best of all he loves to tell it. He
acts it out to the limit,-face, hands,
trunk and feet acting in unison to
perfect the delusion. He comes to the
climax with manifest enjoyment.
Then, when the burst of chuckles,
smokers and finally laughter tells
him the story has point, his brow
comes down, his eyes twinkle, his
lips expand; he too enjoys the story
and its effect.
The services begin tonight at 7:45
sharp. After-meetings will be con-
Quoted from this time on, and every
penitent will be given an opportunity
to accept Christ and enter upon the
Christian life. The sermons from
now on will be directed largely at sin
and a strenuous effort will be made
to induce the unsayed to lead a
better life.
