that congress be requested to repeal
the seamen's law, insofar as it applies

LARGEST CROWD
HEARSDR. ELLIS
Preacher Holds Own
Against Counter
Attractions

Notwithstanding two very interest
ing events which took hundreds away
from the thought of going to church
last night, the congregation that
greeted DR.. Ellis at the First Metho-
dist church yesterday evening was
the largest during the service.
The Wisdom Sisters were at their
best, singing in addition to their regu-
lar numbers, Amazing Grace, How
Sweet The Sound" which was by
special request.
DR.. Ellis spoke to an audience that
hardly moved, so interested they
seemed to be, on the "Slave of Sin. "
He took different angle of approach
from the ordinary preacher in his
sermon, and demonstrated quite con-
clusively and appealingly the fact that
one who sins is indeed the slave of
sin-sin directing the thoughts of a
man, his habits, and the very love of
his heart.
No man who has conducted meet
ing here in recent years has gotten
such a hold on the people of Ameri-
Gus as DR., Ellis. AS some one said
the other day, eff monetary value
could be put on the sermons of DIR.
Ellis, his preaching is worth thous-
ands of dollars to Americas"
The special service this afternoon
for children and parents is expected
to be largely attended
The service at 1880 P. M. will be
the last for this week, Saturday be-
ing busy day for all. The Sunday
preaching hours will be the same as
is customary on the Sabbath, that is
to say, II A. NJ. and 1880 P. M.
