HOME COMING OFF THE


Il
The Home Coming services held in
the Church OF Christ. Sunday. was
one OF the outstanding services in
the history OF the church at Whit
ing.
The services OF the day begun
with attendance and interest at the
Bible School. followed by the morn
ing church service in charge of the
Rev. c. J. sharp. to say that the
Rev. Sharp had charge OF the ser
vice is to say that 1t was most en-
thusiastic service. Every one loves
him and the announcement that he
will have charge OF a service insures
a large and enthusiastic audience.
Morning services were follow
ed by a splendid dinner served in
the basement Of the church and all
cut of town visitors were guests OF
the church.
The afternoon service was the
browning feature of the day and the
large auditorium was filled 10 ca
pacity. You could just feel the at
mosphere tingling with interest and
good will.
There were large delegations from
Hammond, Griffith. Hessville. Chica-
so. Valparaiso. East Chicago, Indi-
ana Harbor, roileston. and East
Gary.
The Echoes from the st. Louis
Congress were one OF the very in
te-esting features of the meeting,
there being some twelve or fourteen
delegates present and their reports
were most interesting.
One OF the most remarkable feat
urss OF the meeting was the reading
of the Book of Acts from memory by
H. H HALEY. 1t seemed as he gave
this wonderful reading as II you
were listening to the author himself
talking to you In person. 1t may
be that II took him a long while to
give this wonderful reading but IT
did not seem long, and you wished
him to go on and en-.
At the evening service he gave an
other reading OF the sayings OF Jes-
US. You would be surprised how
very wonderful It seems when the
many sayings of Jesus are group I'd
and given at one reading.
These readings gripped you In
the large audience testified to the
wonderful hold 1t had upon every
body present.
The principal address of the after
noon were given by the Rev. Kind
red of Englewood. and the Rev. II 4.
H. cellars. of Chicago Heights, and
= Rev. D. E. Snyder. Evangelist and
singer of the Calumet district.
There was splendid music inter
s2ersed throughout all the services,
consisting of orchestra. solos duets
