TO CONTINUE
THROUGH NEXT WEEK

Last nights evangelistic service in
the Presbyterian Church was better
attended than that Of the two pre-
vious nights, and zest was added to
the congregational singing by the
leader, Mr.. Baetcher
The song service is a feature Of the
worship. and we'll known evangelistic
hymns are sung.
DR. Mac Arthur's sermons have the
true ring of the Gospel doctrine, and
.are presented in a manner that holds
the attention OF the congregation
throughout. Last nights theme was
Thinking. VS.. Feeling. and while he
praised the man of thought who
delyes into science and mathematics
and who makes discoveries. he rather
extoled the man Of deep feeling, for
lit Is sentiment and emotion that after
all accomplishes the things that are
the highest and best in life. man
may not he a deep thinker but he
may feel deeply and feeling may stir
the world.
DR. Mac Arthur will preach tomor-
row morning and evening and will
hold eyangelistic services on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday evenings Of
next week. There will be no service
on Monday night, nor on Thursday,
Thanksgiving, night.
