LARGE AUDIENCES AT SUNDAY MEETINGS

Evangelistic Meetings at the M. E. Church Start Off With Enthusiasm—Exoelent Sermons. Large congregations attended the evangelistic services at the Trinity Methodist church Sunday to hear the noted evangelists, the Kerr Brothers, preach and sing. The Sunday school attendance was 350. Rev. J. McD. Kerr, of Toronto, Canada, preached in the morning and Rev. H. W. Kerr, of Detroit, Mich., preached in the evening. Both sermons were eloquent and powerful and made a deep impression upon the crowd of people who heard them. In the evening the Sunday school room had to be used to accommodate the large crowd. The evangelists are wonderful singers and have sung their way into the hearts of untold thousands who have heard them in this country and Canada. The congregation was greatly pleased with them. They are pleasant, dignified, Christian gentlemen, fine Gospel preachers and beautiful singers. A large chorus choir led by the evangelists helped to make the services a success. They have their own song books, which are full of new and beautiful songs. The Methodist church is looking forward to three weeks of helpful services, not only for Methodists but for the whole community. Tonight the service will be of great interest and all the boys and girls of the Sunday school are especially invited. The evangelists will preach and sing every evening. Dr. Cumick announced union Thanksgiving services at the Methodist church on Thanksgiving evening.
