church Sunday, that at night being the
largest Of the series of meetings so
far The church was filled to hear the
evangelist preach on ''Pilate Before
Christ"

of his subject from the biblical story
OF Christ before PLATE, and made the
point of his sermon that while Christ
was before PLATE on earth, Plate was
before Christ on the judgment day, as
was every one else Mr. Hanley gave
a very telling description of the scene.
In the morning the evangelist gave
a very forceful and liberal presentation
on God and Individuality" and de-
clared that jus. because / do not do

going TO perdition.'
