Evangelist Johnson preached last
night at the hall, 446 Main street,
to an attentive audience. The text
was found in Zacheriah ix:12 and the
theme of the address was "Prison-
ers of Hope" The speaker showed
that there were three classes who
are without hope--the fallen angels,
those who have died in their sins and
those from whom the Spirit has with
drawn His presence. But, on the
other hand, he held out hope to those
bound by the chains of sin; first to
the young people, then to those i'm
prisoned by doubts and fears, anc
finally to the backslider.
