proved over the night before. The
church feels happy to be able to bring
such eminent men to our city. They
ere not sensationalists;. there is no
mere appeal to the emotions, but they
come with an appeal to the intelli-
gence of the people, just such as our
fair city of wide-awake people would
appreciate, both in sermon and song.
The evangelist in dealing last night
with spiritualism and Christian
science showed a remarkable acquain-
tance with these systems and threw
much light upon the scripture teach
ing on subjects emphasized by them.
Anyone hearing the sermon got some
information, whether he agreed with
the speaker or not.
Another great sermon is promised
for tonight on "The Brides Attire" |"
The meetings open with a stirring
song service and special solos by
Prof. Mcdonald. These meetings can
