EVANGELIST TO
CONDUCT SERIES
MEETINGS CITY Hall

The open air gospel campaign
which has been conducted in Au-
gusta by Evangelist Lawrence B.
Greenwood has assumed such a de-
gree of public interest that it has
been decided to carry the meetings
on in the Augusta City Hall. which
has been secured for a period of
three weeks. commencing Sunday,
September %.
From the time this evangelist
work began. up to the present con-
stantly increasing audiences have
greeted Mr.. Greenwood, both at the
noon services and in the evening.
Commenting on this new move. Mr..
Greenwood yesterday said:
"This is an open air age. There
are multitudes who have given the
church the go-by but are interested
has been growing through the coun-
try for years and today there is a
call from distracted humanity for a
message of certainty.
Il have spoken in many places. but
have never been more conscious of
a hearty response than in Augusta:
This is what leads me to go to the
City Hall where more may come and
comfortably listen.
On being asked how the meetings
are financed Mr.. Greenwood said:
Il have faith that God will support
the campaign. l have no man or So
ciety behind me but undertake this
all alone. / am sure the people will
respond and pay the expenses.
Upon presenting the plan to sew
eral pastors of local churches Mr..
Greenwood said he found ready res
ponse and promises of active coop
Grafton. One of the attractive fea-
lures of this campaign will be the
presence of the Berge sisters. gospel
singers, who come from Baltimore to
participate in the meetings. Many
will remember their being in Augusta
at one of Mr.. Greenwoods open air
meetings this summer. He says
there is no finer aggregation of Cos
pei singers in the country. Besides
their singing the sisters play the
piano, trumpet and accordion. Their
playing at the Wiscasset Tabernacle
this summer swept everything before
il.
The series of meetings which will
commence Sunday afternoon. Sept
%. will continue three full weeks. six
evenings and five afternoons each
week, through October 10. Mr..
Greenwoods work in Wiscasset will
be taken over by others, meanwhile.
Preparat tory to the City Hall cam
paign, Mr.. Greenwood will speak
each noon and evening next week. at
the corner of Oall- and Water streets,
beginning Tuesday.

Opening Of Saint Barnabas' Church
School

At n meeting of the executive COM
mittee and some of the members of
Saint Barnabas' chapel held on the
evening of September 18th, it was
decided that the Saint Barnabas'
church school would reopen for the
year of 19a41925 on the afternoon of
Sunday, September 2Sth at $50.
Special attention is called TO the date
and the hour as this is a week later
than the usual opening of the school
and the hour is half an hour later
than that of last year.
In addition to the change in the
hour of the church school there is
also change in the hour of the Sun
day service. Evening Prayer with
sermon was held last year at 4.3o in
the afternoon. which hour 1t was de-
cided was not as convenient as an
evening hour SO during the coming
winter the evening service will be at
$50. 1t is hoped that the change Of
hours for both the church school and
the evening service will be more con-
venient for the members of the cha pei
and its friends.
