Dixon, pastor of the Moody church, have attracted large and interested audiences. Promptly at 12 o’clock the meeting opens with a stirring gospel song led by Dr. D. B. Towner or Prof. Trowbridge of the Moody Bible Institute; then a chorus of young men, followed by a quartet or solo. By 12:20 the platform, the boxes, the ground floor and the first gallery ar e full, while some must be content with standing, or climb to the top gallery. Dr. Dixon makes a twenty minutes gospel address and dismisses the audience about eight minutes before one o’clock with tlie request that all whose business will permit, remain for a season of inquiry, testimony and prayer. This after meeting lasts about 15 minutes during which there are requests for prayer and all present are urged to “get right with God” by accepting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. Several hundred people usually remain and the after meeting is sometimes more interesting than the main , service. Beginning first Monday in April I Dr. Dixon will give aseries of addresses oil “Epochs In the Life of Jesus.” 1. The Birth of Jesus, the Incarnation of Deity. 2, The Temptation, the Test of Incarnation. • 3, The Transfiguration. the Unveiling of the Incarnation. 4.
