WATCH MEETING IS LARGELY ATTENDED Services at the Methodist Church New Year's Eve t Are Interesting.
The union watch-night service at the Methodist church last Tuesday night was a decided success. The attendance was about 300. The service opened at 1:80 with selections by the Baptist orchestra, then a preaching service In. which Rev. F. A. Fraley read the Scripture. Rev. F. H Adams offered prayer. Rev. C. J. Sharp led the singing and Rev. C. A. Smith delivered the discourse, his theme being "The Personal Touch." Rev. A. W. Hoffman and Rev. M. J. Cameron were kept at home by illness. At the close of this part of the meet- , lag W. C. Belman was called on for remarks In behalf of the laymen and responded with a warm-hearted appeal for a placa for young men and boys to pond their evenings. The congregation then retired to the social rooms, where oysters were served by a committee of women representing the various churches. After a pleasant hour of social fel
lowship tho audience again assembled
in the auditorium. Tbere wore selections y- the, orchestra, gospel songs, a ...reading of "Ring Out the Old, Ring In the New" by Miss Dunbar, and then a testimony service followed by voluntary prayers. As the new year approached the audience bowed In silent pray
er, and as the town clock struck the hour Rev. Graham Fuller of the Pine
Btraet sresDytenan church offered a short prayer and the audience arose
and sang "Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow," and greeted each oth
er with wishes for "A happy New Tear.
The services last night proved to be of a very spiritual and helpful nature,
tho subject being "Prayer." Tonight the subject Is "Chrlstlar,
