The series of meetings at the Chiistian chuich closed Sunday evening with a mass social in which the n- w members were welcomed into the chuich. The meetings have resulted in forty additions to the membership. The interest has continued unabated throughout the last month. The church has been filled to overflowing and standing room has been “at a premium.” The earnestness and zeal of the pastor aided by the untiring energy and eloquence of Elder Brady have greatly contributed to this end. Mr. Brady has unusual ability as a preacher and our people were very glad to have so many opportunities to hear him.
