church both morning and evening last
Sunday. The evangelist follows the
usual order of the revivalist. He is
plain and pointed in speech, He has
not the long adm polished delivery Of
B. Fray Mills, but rather the short
and conversational style of D. L.
Moody. Only few evangeHsts could
equal Mr.. Mills in style and cutting
sarcasm. However, it is not time
yet to measure the true power that
may later manifest itself in DR.. Gil
lam. He is kindly received by the
people and words of praise are spok-
en- touching his preaching. When his
appeal closes here we can tell better
the story Of his power and work.
