He that we are to do Gods will and then now be hidden in doubt and gloom At the close of the sermon Evangelist Linden gave an invitation and a mum Der. of persons, young and old, re- sponded.
 At the meeting tonight Evangelist Linden will speak on the subject Mans Accountability to God. Every body is invited.
