Jenkins at Piitfhard Memorial Baptist Church Last Night Meeting Growing In Interest, epirited singing. fervant prayers and that indefinable quality which the old preacher used to call "liberty" were In evidence at Prltch ard Memorial Baptist church last night. The congregation was the largest of all since the meetings be gan. There were two professions of faith and a number of requests for prayer. The preacher. Rev. John T. Jen kins, was deeply in earnest and preached with freedom. Sometimes his earnestness brings him to the borders of sensationalism, but only when Impressing fhe sinfulness of-sln. "The Excellent Spirit of Daniel" was hs subject. "A spirit," he said, "of un limited, unswerving, tenacious faith In God. This was the cause of his excellent spirit, his strong life anJ wonderful success. He believed In his God. "I sometimes think that God has more regsrd for the drunkard in the gutter tban the man of no fixed prin ciples, ' wffose face Is one way at one time and another way at another time There were no 'ifs' wltn uan lel, he did not hinge his action on what others thought or did. or enter ... .!.... II. on any course wun rraemumi. believed something and stood by his faith. God def-pises apathy. Indifference and lukewarmnesa. The luKewarm and apathetic are the greatest hin drance to God's cause to-day. The fixed man makes a great character. Daniel was fixed in his faith. He was different from other people in Baby lon and. thank Cod, he was neuner ashamed nor afraid to be different. Even when it came to a question of doing right or losing his head, he never considered the question of head and shoulders " Preaching this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. No services to-nigni. uui the meeting will continue tnrougn Sunday and Into next ween, a 8""' warm welcome awaits an wno wui attend. The Frivolous Curate. Philadelphia Public Ledger.
