men.
Saturday evening a big booster"
service was held at which a costumed
chorus of little boys and girls rend-
cred a special program of songs.
Sunday morning Mr.. Erwin preached
on the Great White Throne, coup
ling up the prophecies of the old tes-
lament with the Revelations.
Sunday evening the largest crowd
of the whole series attended, filling
the church proper, the Sunday school
auditorium and the gallery. Mr.. Err
win was at his best and preached a
unique sermon on the Power Of the
Sacred Croatorios" contained in
Revelations.
One feature Of Rev. Mr.. Erwin's
work, which has been the subject of
favorable comment is his familiarity
with scripture. In his sermon Sun
day night his ability to quote scrip
ture and to interpret scriptural
meaning were displayed in a strik-
ing manner.
Describing the denominations and
sectarian differences which exist be-
tween the different churches he call
ed attention to the fact that the one
point on which all agree is in the
songs used He said, whether Bap-
fist, Christian, Episcopalian, Luther

can all sing the same songs.
He made the point that in the

that they become believers.
Everybody will be Christians in
that day." said Mr.. Erwin, and the
preacher and the evangelist will join
with others in the great songs of
praise which will eternally go up
about the throne of God.
There will be no praying because
the prayers will all have been said
and therefore the one remaining
phase of our earthly service which
will remain for all time, will be the
praise of service, and that, we are
told in Revelations, will be the one
familiar action of those who receive
the reward for service upon earth.
At the morning service $. S. Lyon,
chairman of the finance committee,
asked for a freewill offering for Mr..
Erwin and his party. The response
was very generous, about $500 being
contributed. At the evening service
the matter was presented by w. l.
StOckwell, and a considerable sum
was contributed by those who were
present at the morning service.
The Erwin party, including DR.. and
Mrs. Erwin, Professor Dixon, who
leads the musical program and does
the solo work, and Paul Erwin, who
plays the piano, will leave Wednes-
day for Forest River, n. D., where
