livered one of the ablest sermons ever
heard in the church, and was accord
ed the very best attention during
the whole evening. The audience
drank in every word, and when the
invitation was given, there was a
mighty response.
The music is exceptionally good
and Prof. Hiatt has the big chorus
well trained.
DR.. King has arranged for another
monster meeting for men only, to be
held in the afternoon Sunday. The
subject which DR.. Morrison will
speak upon is "What is MANI" 1t is
hoped the church will be crowded.
Regular services will be held Mon

the effect Of interrupting one OF the
