Large Crowd at the Union Evangelistic Meetings.

Last night the Methodist church was crowded to its capacity by an attentive audience, who heard Rev. J. C. Parret preach a soul-searching sermon from, the third chapter of'John, and the sixteenth verse. His message was plain and positive as to God’s relation to man, and man’s relation to God. His word picture of the development of God’s plan for saving sinful men, from the rising of the sun over Bethleham’s hills to the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit began to reign, was beautifully drawn and each one present followed each thought-stroke of his master-mind until the finished picture was presented in the spirit of love. In addition to the message of the hour, Miss Una Dell Berry added a feature in song, which could not have been excelled in sweetness of tone or in soundness of spirit. Miss Berry is charming in her manner, creative in her method and consistent in her motives. Her presentation of the Gospel in song is attractive to the saint and the sinner alike. Last night an offering was made that covered the expenses of this meeting. We are grateful for the generous response of those who hav supported this cause in such a liberal manner. meetings are growing in power and popularity. You can not afford to miss them if you are interested in your soul’s welfare, and the advancement of the common interest of this community. Preaching every night this week in the Methodist church. You are invited, and your presence will be an inspiration to the speaker of the hour. Come, share with us the joy of an hour spent with God.
