meeting of the Sunday school classes
of all three of the churches which have
combined in this work was held at the
Green street Methodist church. the to.
tai attendance being close to 1000. The
classes from the Penney Memorial and
the First Baptist churches got togeth-
er and marched to the Green street
church in body. the Junior Militia
marching with their guns in the van
guard, making a most imposing ap-
pearance. Harry Taylor asked the big
crowd of boys to enlist under the Ban
ner of the Lord, and 119 came forward
in answer to his plea. After a rouSing
meeting, with plenty of fine music and
a closing greeting made by Supt Har-
ry Plummer of Fairfield, the crowd
broke up.
Then, at P. NJ, another great as
sembly was held in the Opera house,
men this time, and a rare musical
treat formed part of the program. A
male quartet composed of J. Francis
MacNichol. Harry Chamberlain. c. B.
Long and Myron Haskell rendered
number of delightful selections in a
manner which is seldom heard in this
part of the country 1.-THE Little Brown
and other similarly beautiful songs,
bringing round after round of applause
from the big audience proved beyond
question that their work was fully ap-
preciated.
Harry Taylor preached a particular
ly powerful sermon, his text being
what Will You Do in the End?" and
In it's progress he told a good many
people some things about their own
city which they had known for long
time, but had not liked to admit.
Among other things, he told of a dele
cation from a local club which re-
Gently went to the manager of musl-
cal show which was being put on here,
and asked him to stage show at
club dinner. Mr.. Taylor stated that
what they. requested made the man
ager of the show so angry that he re-
fused to have anything to do with
them, and also told them what he
thought of men who would make such
a request. "Since last Sunday" said
Mr.. Taylor, "half of this great nation
has stood up and disputed the other
half" and he went on to show that
the old words, "The prophets prcphesy
falsely, and My children like to have
it SO, but what will We do in the end:"
still holds good. "There are probably
not two watches alike in this build
ing" the evangelist added. and ne SAID
that if we desired the right time, we
must set our watches by the CLOCK,
and if people would get right with Cod
! then they could be sure of being right.
4 .'Down in Cambridge there is a human
beine. Doctor Elliot, who says i think
So but Billy Sunday says God says So :,
remarked Mr.. Taylor. and added that
Gods say so is better than amy human
beings "think so."

about the unfortunate tendency to use
profanity and to tell obscene stories. and

much and the great crowd of men, stand
ing shoulder to shoulder and singing the
old songs, could not but impress even the
casual observer. And in the evening the
City hall was also full with the friends
and interested ones. The stage was
crammed with the members of the chorus
and a new program, which contained a
number of novel musical features with a
