church was filled last evening when
the fourth OF the series Of union evan

time the song service began the main
auditorium Of the church was filled
and when the preaching Of the sermon
began the Sunday school was utilized
This was the best attendance since
Sunday night, when the services De
gan.
The song service, under the lead
ership Of Prof. Mckinney, was one
that was enjoyed by all present, as
Professor Mel Kinney remarked, every.
body is singing but three persons,
then by reepating the chorus these
three joined in the singing. Many
were the smiles when Prof. Mckinney
asked the three ministers to sing by
themselves and great was the Joy ana
surprise when by their singing tney
proved to the large audience that not
only were they able to preach the COS
pel but were also able to sing. Tbs
following hymns made up the SONG

counteracting power to change these
