NEW FEATURES ADDED.
To Evangelistic Services Being Held in
Congregational Church.

On last evening a large congregation
again listened to the message of the
evangelists, Reuben S. Smith and 0tho
L. Hatch. The chorus choir is increas-
ing in its effectiveness. New features
are being added. Tuesday night Mrs.
Gladys Bradley sang a duet with Mr..
Hatch. Last night Miss Faustina Maker
sang with him touching selection, DE
spised and Rejected"
Mr.. Smith drew many helpful lessons
from the parable of life, THE Healing
of Blind Bartimaeus." Bartimaeus was
blind and he knew it. His was a physi-
cal blindness and, though terrible af
Fiction. it does not compare with spirit
ual blindness, of which too many seem
totally ignorant. Bartimaeus was a beg
gar because he was blind, so many peo-
pie are lean in soul because they are
spiritually blind. None are so poor as
those without Christ and none so rich
as those with Jesus Christ.
While Bartimseus' case seemed help
less, Christ was able TO heal him. In
the spiritual life Christ can and does
open blind ewes Christ hears the cry
of needy souls who cast away the world
ly. sinful life, and He heals them i'm,
mediately.
All expenses of the campaign have
been raised and no more collections are
to be taken until Sunday night. when
the thankOiiering viii be received for
Evangelist Smith.

ister, declared in an interview with the
Associated Press correspondent Tuesday,
More friendly relations were being es-
tsblished with the United States, he
added, and he commented upon President
Wilson's message to Russia as showing

leaders are quoted here as denying ru-
mors that large numbers of Austro-
German prisoners have been armed by
the Bolsheviki at Irkutsk, Chita and
