PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
FOR COMING WEEK
(Communicated)


Overlooking crowds are attending
the Gospel Crusade being conducted
in the M. E. Church. On Sunday ev-
ening the church was packed at z
o'clock and before the time for the
meeting people were being turned a.
way.
Probably the largest meeting ever
held for women only was conducted
Sunday afternoon, when DR.. Cooke,
the evangelist spoke on the subject
"Woman and her Throne" The wom-
en- are unanimous in saying the lee
ture was unsurpassed. A lady of
large social activity said at the close
of the meeting that, she wished every
woman in Maryland might heart that
lecture.
Anoher feature service was last
Saturday evening when close to 200
girls and boys gave spectacular and
surprisingly interesting program. The
fact that the talent Of the boys and
girls could be SO quickly whipped into
presenting such high class program
is proof of the efficiency Of the two
gentlemen that have come to this
city. The background Of girls and
boys was a striking picture and OBJ
ject lesson.
Converts have responded to every
appeal of DR.. Cooke and there is no
doubt but that Pocomoke City shall
realize one Of the greatest spiritual
awakenings it has ever seen. The
moral and religious life of the whole
community has already, received ef-
fects from the strong, logical and con-
vincing sermon-lectures of DIR. Cooke.
Without cant or presumptuousness,
DR.. Cooke has made the people feel
that the most dignifed life is the
Christian life and that true social cul-
ture is Christian character. All of
his messages have been intellectual
tonics. DR.. Nichols, the local Metho-
dist minister, who took the initiative
in securing DIR. Cooke for this work
is to be thanked, as are also the pas
tors of the churches who are lending
splendid assistance in so many ways.
The music of the services has never
been equalled in this part Of the coun-
try. DIR. Cooke who is a graduate
musician seems to have no end to his
musical resource, while. Mr.. Vigneulle,
has charmed the folk with his Won
derful baritone solos. The choir has
developed splendidly, and before these
meetings close, Pocomoke will no
doubt be transformed into a singing
town. The most popular songs sung
are those composed by the evangelist.
II have the Joy down in my Heart"
has taken the town by storm and is
heard ON the streets, in the school and
in the homes.
On Tuesday night large delegations
came from Crisfeld and Snow Hill
where DR.. Cooke conducted crusades
two years ago. These delegations
came to unanimously invite DR.. Cooke
and Mr.. Vigneulle for return engage
ments, but it is doubtful if this will
be possible owing to their time being
fully taken into June.
Thursday night ninety nine men
were banked in section of the
church and nearly "raised the roof
with the Ninety and nine.
Pocomoke will not soon forget the
service on Friday night. The High
School attended in body. School
yells, patriotic songs and the Revival
campaign songs took up considerable
time. There certainly is the right
spirit in the school of Pocomoke. DR..
Cookies face had shine as those
young folk were performing.
Sunday afternoon there will be a
"double header" DIR. Cooke will gi' {
his famous sermon Throwing Boom
erangs" to men in the afternoon anG
at the same hour Mrs. DIR. Smith, q
lawyer and the wife of an Episco.
palian rector, will address largs
women's meeting. DIR. Smith is ac
companying his wife. They are friends
of the evangelist.
