Last Sunday was a great day with
5 us. Large congregations at both NOR
ming and evening services; four con-
versions. Newton Hastings, the lit
tie boy preacher from Salisbury, was
a great inspiration to us with his
simple, plain and forceful message
of truth which seemed to touch all
hearts. He did us good.

One of the largest congregations
ever assembled in Ellendale M. E.
Church was here last Sunday. PeO-
pie came from far and near to hear
Master Newton Hastings, eight years
old, preach both morning and night
The little fellow is a wonder and the
way he spoke and explained his text
would do credit to men of mature
years. When he closed his morning
discourse there were few dry eyes in
the church. His appeal to sinners
was very effective, several came for
ward and promised to lead better
lives in the future. The revival spir-
it took hold of the people and for |
a time you could hear shouts and |
amens in abundance.
He spoke again at night to a
crowded house. Again he held his
congregation spellbound by his elo.
quence. People wondered how a child
of such tender years could use the
language and quote the scriptures
with such force and power as he did.
One great feature of the occasion
was the beautiful singing of Newton
and his little brother, only four
years old. 1t touched the hearts of
all present. 1t was a great day for
and one long to be re-
membered.
