ture and prayer Rev. Mr.. Prince gave
an intensely interesting talk on The
Present Importance of the Evangelstic
Function of the Church. The speaker

an evangelism that springs out of the
heart of the church; it must be a spirit
of evangelism and not squirt of evan

Rev. c. c. Merrill of Burlington, as

treats will be held each week for the

there were four truths which the

about God; Jesus Christ, the friend and
companion under whose inspiration we
are to live our lives; the truth about
the future life, and the truth about the
coming of the kingdom of God on earth.
