Good Words Heard
For Forrest Cole
As Song Leader

Much favorable comment has been
expressed by the people who have been
attending the MONDAY meetings at
Court Avenue church In respect to the
work of Forrest Cole, assistant to the
pastor of the First Baptist church, as
song leader during the series Of noon
day meetings
The manner in which he has directed
the singing of the great congregations
that have crowded the auditorium at
these meetings, and the appropriateness
of the hymns he has chosen have played
no small part in the success Of the
services. in the opinion of leaders of
the work. Old familiar hymns, dear to
the hearts of Christian people every
where, and especially suited for con-
gregational singing, have featured the
meeting, although some of the newer
revival songs have been introduced
with good effect Mr.. Coles solo work
has also been very effective.
Mr.. Cole is also leading the singing
at the First Baptist church, where,
under his direction, a chorus choir of
about 40 voices, has been trained for
the revival services.

never a dull moment in his meetings,
