Great interest is being manifested in the series of evangelistic meetings | conducted by Davis and Mills at the _|Ohis Street M. E. church. Large audiences are attracted nightly by the stirring preaching, splendid sing- ing and other novel features. The evangelists apparently have no end to their resources and every meeting has something new of interest. A hundred people extended a welcome to Evangelist John A. Davison his arrival Sunday and a large audience crowded every part of the church in the evening to its capacity. A choir of seventy-five sang: “Crown Him”’ and other selections with splendid ef- fect under Mr. Mills efficient training 10c Staple Ginghams wee Race taareiciy le eons 6%c 10¢ Btaached 1, (CV) > 1 ean ree Ke that amount as is necessary to con- ed eae kbs: Mee hay ; : o0y Aap astic, leader le em 9-4 Pepperil Bleached Sheeting........... +e. 25C Unbleached Muslin. ................00e cece eee 22%c struct or purchase and repair a water}, 7 0 ‘punt to-anettish ppodieltig climayes that were worth going a long distance to hear. ‘The leader connected verses of different hymns together without previous announce- ment, by way of variety. Sometimes he had one section sing a phrase, an- other section another phrase while all joined in singing the chorus, sometimes repeating it again and again with increasing power. Mr. Mills solo ‘‘My Pilot’? and his story to illustrate, were impressive. Evan- gelist Davis in his introductory re- marks said: “You may not like me nor my methods at first, but I want you to come three nights in succes- sion and then stay away if you can. If I should tell you all that will hap- pen before I get through you wouldn't believe it.’’ The evangelist is pecu- liar in his manner of saying and do- ting things and evidently possesses un- usual power of leadership. He puts plenty of life in what he says and does and urges the audience*to do the same. His sermon was based on the topic ‘‘HiddenTreasures”’ and appeal- ed strongly tothe audience. He declares that the way to happiness lies in doing good to others. Atthe close a large number.expressed their desire for the prayers of christian people. Monday night another large audi- ence was present, a large number of those present being from other places. An interesting feature was a scripture service in which the evan- gelist taught the audience the key- notes of some of the important books He creat- ed much amusement when he asked how many women ever praised their wives. A number of hands were raised and then the evangelist asked how many of the husbands ever prais- ed their wives and a larger number of hands were raised amid) much laughter. A praise service followed in which many took part. The évan- preached effectively on the ‘Impor- tance of Soul Winning.”” Friday af- ternoon he will address women only on “Some Things a Married) Womer Ought to Know” at 2:30 o'clock.
