REYIVAL SERVICES AT

Those attending the First Methodist
Church last night heard a most
searching and scriptural sermon on
Satin delivered by Rev. Luther B.
Bridgera, the evangelist, who is conducting
a series of meetings. On
Ia3t evening the evangelist was seemingly
at his best and evidently very
profoundly impressed his hearers. A
beautiful vocal solo wan rendered
by Professor R. C. Bird which was
greatly enjoyed. .
The special attraction ?oX this
evening will be the sermon on Repentance
and its fruits. The music
scheduled for the evening will be;
one of the features. All are welcome!
Seata free. The pastor pleads with!
the Christian people of Washington j
to make an united effort for the salvation
of sinners. Services tonight'
